Jets have proven themselves as the fourth best supported club after the two Sydneys and Victree. It's a settled base with history as GF winners as well.
Why the hell would you try to move elsewhere?

Has tinkler paid his debts to NNSW - if not is that grounds to take back the license?
Time to calm down and have a bit of rational thought about this circus.
I am not seeing this as ending anytime soon.
I don't see us getting this shit sorted anytime soon to our satisfaction.
I don't see this end of the month date as being the end date for the dramas.
I don't see Tinker doing all this just to have the FFA take the licence off him and get nothing
Why??
Because 3 weeks ago he could have got money from Dundee Utd
Taking the furore at what has transpired from your thoughts explain logically why Tinkler would engineer this charade to get nothing when he could have jut taken 1-2million from Dundee Utd and walked away with something??
It just makes no sense at all for Tinkler to put himself in this position most hated man in Newy etc unless he wants to be here as part of his game and this game isn't over yet
Ego. Member, big money men have big ego's
It's the "**** me? I'll **** you too" attitude
This is about payback for Tinkler being charged overs for the license
The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
So exactly what licence breach has he done.
He has sacked 3 lower level coaches from a side going poorly. No crime
He has Sacked 5 players. If he can argue they have breached contract he has not breached his licence
One bloke had a physical confrontation with another player. That is a sackable offence in my workplace
One bloke had a blow up with Stubbins his immediate boss. That is a potential sackable offence also
Throw in some form of mutiny with the others and he may not have an issue. He reaches an agreement with the players for a pay out if necessary case closed
Don't just assume he is breaching his licence cause he is running the club into the ground. He may well be still meeting his licence conditions to the letter of the law and exploiting loop holes
Lifetime bans for Tinkler and Stubbins would be a good way for the FFA to start Thursday morning.
Neither of this pair care about the club, players, or fans.
They have a contractual obligation to field a competitive team. This isn't an amateur league. It is fully professional with large tv rights. If one team starts losing 10-0 every game because they have filled the roster with youth players the FFA can and will revoke the license for the good of the game, even if the salary cap is met with player payouts. There are probably other clauses about bringing the game into disrepute. It's end game.
Unless you've seen the HAL club participation agreement its impossible to say if those are material breaches of the clubs license, judging from past media stories and the very minimal breaches listed by FFA when GCU lost their license the club participation agreement is far reaching and I'd say the super would be a breach, so too the the lack of any CEO / chairman.
I'd imagine the sacking of Carney for alleged disciplinary reasons could be a breach if Carney has any sort of defence.
I'd imagine we could be very close to breaking the min squad size too if any of these alleged signings fail to materialise, but that could be avoided by just promoting youth players to new HAL contracts.
This is all only based on what we know, who knows what else we are yet to hear about.
My point remains the same, FFA will not pay Tinkler for the license, they never have before and I can't see them starting now.
In regards to the Dundee situation: Tinkler wanted $5mil
Dundee said they would clear the $1.8mil worth of debt that is on the club but aren't going to pay him anything on top of that.
It's pretty clear now that when Tinks took the club off the market, it was because Dundee began negotiating with the FFA.
Tinks wants to take the FFA to court - in order to sue them basically because of the licence fee fiasco of a few years ago.
And he wants someone else to take the debt so he doesn't have to pay it.
When FFA assume control, watch him counter with an injunction and court case. This won't end in a week people.
This is just my take on it, after reading the myriad of media reports.
