More inside mail?
I would think Newcastle Perm would be more inclined to sponsor home shirts rather than away shirts?
I mean, there business really is the newcastle area, do they really need to market to the rest of the country?
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Most banking is done online these days, so the Perm could be looking to expand their market
the perm is very active in other areas. they advertise in Canberra, have a bank in Mudgee. it's like NIB sponsoring the glory rather than the jets, you advertise where you want to grow.
nice one dad.

Clacka next
I've got nothing personally against these blokes, but why do we re-sign the people/team who have not brought success through the last 5 seasons?
What role is he lined up for Postman?

The troubled Jets are managed by FFA in the wake of the withdrawal of previous owner Nathan Tinkler's A-League licence.
Melbourne-born Miller, 33, signed a two-year contract with the club after leaving his role as under-21 coach at English Championship club Fulham, where he worked for nine years.
He will be the youngest coach to handle an A-League club.
Scott's appointment is seen by many as a gamble because, no matter how good or willing you are, nothing in football can beat experience, particularly when it comes to occupying the hot seat at a club that is fighting for its very survival.
All over the world the prime age of coaches at the biggest and most successful clubs is in the mid-40s to mid-60s.
Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Fabio Capello, Arsene Wenger, Carlo Ancelotti, Louis Van Gaal, Manuel Pellegrini and Rafael Benitez have been there and done that.
Relative newcomer Pep Guardiola was a clear exception to the rule.
Nothing against Miller but the logic or wisdom behind his selection must be questioned.
In Australia we sometimes tend to ignore our own coaches at an age when they come to full experience and maturity and when they do things in a smarter and more practical way than when they were younger.
That's why, generally speaking, coaches of this age group (mid-40s to mid-60s) are far more likely to be successful than their younger counterparts.
The vast majority of the 19 FIFA World Cup-winning coaches (Italy's Vittorio Pozzo won it twice) were over 45 years of age.
There are no shortcuts in life. Whether you are a builder, a teacher or a gym instructor the more experience you have the better you are at what you do. Football is no exception.
Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou spent years in the street of hard knocks and learning as he went along before becoming the senior national team coach.
There is another side to this argument, however.
Recent history teaches us that rookie coaches with no track record are not necessarily a recipe for disaster when given a top job.
Especially if they had the opportunity to closely observe the running of a foreign professional club either as an assistant coach to the senior team or head coach of the reserves or under-21s, as was the case with Miller.
Tony Popovic was almost in the same boat as Miller when he was named first Western Sydney Wanderers coach in 2011. Look how that story turned out!
After building a team from scratch, Popovic led the club to two successive A-League grand finals and to the AFC Champions League title in what has been described as one of the finest moments of Australian club football.
By the same token one could say that a coach with wider experience could have been able to halt the Wanderers' spectacular fall from grace after reaching the heights of Riyadh.
Yet who's to say that relatively unknown Miller won't make a fist of his appointment at Newcastle and grow into the job?
Some people, in any walks of life, just need a window of opportunity to show what they can do.
The FFA's decision to appoint Miller, upon the recommendation of Postecoglou, could backfire.
The job in Newcastle involves far more than finding a winning formula for a Jets team that has been grounded for too long.
It involves recreating the spirit within the club and among the community that reached its peak when Newcastle won the A-League in 2008.
The governing body has taken a risk, no doubt about that, by opting for Miller instead of several former A-League coaches who have plenty to offer but I hope it's a calculated risk especially for Newcastle Jets' sake.
I'm not game enough to criticise FFA of recklessness or irresponsibility or lack of foresight for giving a tough job to a rookie because Miller could well prove all the doubters wrong.
Time will tell if FFA is on the money with this Miller gamble.
It had better be. The governing cannot afford to get this wrong.
Philip certainly isn't convinced with Scott Miller's appointment. He would have rather seen us appoint an experienced A-League coach out of work or someone in their mid 40's - 60's.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr GazFish!! Put your hands together! He'll be here all week! Tell your friends!
Junior Assistant Coach? Would certainly line up with the new coaching titles they are handing out.
IIRC Miller said he wanted to bring in one more coach who's focus would be strength and conditioning and video analysis.
Good to see we have a legit football strength and conditioning coach on the books, first time since Waterson left to go to wsw I think.Respected Jones fits bill with rebuilding Jets

MARK Jones earned high praise among Newcastle Jets insiders during the shambolic final months of coach Phil Stubbins’ reign for coming in and providing defensive structure to keep the club competitive.
The former A-League championship-winning assistant coach will have a full season to offer his expertise to the club after he was appointed head of performance on Monday.
The announcement follows the appointment of former Fulham assistant Scott Miller as head coach and ex-Melbourne Victory assistant Jean-Paul de Marigny as his right-hand man.
Jones begins the new role next Monday, the same day Miller returns from England to take over his first training session.
As head of performance, Jones will oversee strength and conditioning and work closely with head physiotherapist Justin Dougherty. He will also assist de Marigny with video analysis and scouting.
‘‘We had a good meeting where he demonstrated not only his knowledge of his profession, but of Newcastle Jets and Australian football to me,’’ Miller said. ‘‘From that point on he became a leading candidate to join our team. Mark obviously has a vast background in strength and conditioning, but as importantly he understands the technical and tactical aspects of the game. This will enable him to function in between the two schools of the football department.”
A born and bred Novocastrian, Jones played for Newcastle Rosebud and the Breakers and later served as Gary van Egmond’s assistant coach when the club won its only A-League title in 2007-08.
In 2010 Jones was moved on, but he returned in January following former owner Nathan Tinkler’s controversial sacking of Clayton Zane (assistant), Neil Young (goalkeeping coach) and Andrew Packer (strength and conditioning coach). Jones, along with fellow assistant James Pascoe, were credited with making the Jets more defensively sound and harder to break down in the final months of last season.
He is one of 12 FIFA fitness instructors worldwide, is an Asian Football Confederation elite conditioning instructor, and is Sportscode accredited. He is also currently completing his FFA Pro Diploma.
“I’m a Newcastle person, and for me I just want to help secure a better result for the team and a better outcome for the club,” Jones said of his appointment. “I have a responsibility to do the strength and conditioning, the video analysis and assist with the technical side of the delivery of the football program, but I will help in any way I can to ensure that we get a better result,” Jones said.
De Marigny has never worked directly with Jones, but has always admired his football brain.
‘‘I’ve known Jonesy a long time and he comes highly qualified and with really good credentials,’’ de Marigny said. ‘‘He’s a real student of the game, which is good because he’s always up-skilling himself.
‘‘I think he’ll be a massive addition for us and he knows the way of Australian football, as I do, and he obviously has a soft spot for Newcastle, his home town, and wants to do well here.

RAAF Round... Murphy is delusional, could also try focusing on the real derby we have instead of trying to invent one for some cheap marketing exercise.Jets v Roar: RAAF link as the new derbies

NEWCASTLE Jets chief executive Mitchell Murphy has boldly stated his intention for the club’s ‘‘RAAF round’’ against Brisbane Roar to one day compete with the Sydney and Melbourne derbies in terms of popularity.
The A-League draw for the upcoming season, due to kick-off on October 8, was revealed on Monday.
The Jets will begin their new era under the ownership of Football Federation Australia and direction of new coach Scott Miller with a road trip to Westpac Stadium on October 11 to face Wellington.
The club then returns home to Hunter Stadium to host A-League heavyweights and last season’s grand finalists, Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory, on consecutive weekends.
But it is the November 28 game at Turton Road against the Roar which that really excited Mitchell.
On the proposed ‘‘RAAF round’’ Newcastle will wear a commemorative shirt and fighter jets will fly over the stadium prior to kick-off.
‘‘Outside of the traditional Sydney-Melbourne derbies, we actually believe this RAAF round, as we’re calling it, will become a signature round in the A-League season year in year out,’’ Murphy said.
As part of the new relationship between the Jets and Williamtown RAAF base, senior fighter pilots are expected to provide players with mentoring.
‘‘Taking a $60million fighter jet into the air as opposed to playing a game of football, there are distinct differences,’’ Murphy said.

‘‘But there are also similarities. You have to plan for a game or mission, execute your game plan or flight path and then you have to debrief the mission or your performance.’’
The Jets will play 14 home games in the upcoming season – six in the 5.15pm Saturday timeslot, six on Sunday at 5pm and two Friday night games.
The club have also avoided two road trips to Perth and Wellington, where the Jets have traditionally struggled for points.
However, the Jets’ task of qualifying for their first semi-final series in six seasons has been made difficult by a challenging run home.
The club have just four home games – against Perth, Western Sydney, Wellington and Melbourne City – in the final 11 rounds, meaning the Jets will need to begin the season firing.
‘‘You’d certainly want to turn at Christmas in a solid position,’’ Mitchell said.
‘‘But the other thing is, which I’ve made reference to on countless occasions is, we need to make sure that when opposing teams come to Hunter, that this is a fortress.
‘‘We need to win the majority of our home games, and if we do that, it gives you a leg up.’’
