I don't care if they get $15 million or $15 all I care is that they do due diligence and the new owners are contractually held to a standard.
Taking what was on offer didn't work last time, we need to learn from the past and not just jump into bed with the first thing that comes along. I would much rather get the right person after a lengthy process than have another Tinkler that spouted empty promises.

The longer this drags on the more it seems that yes the priority for the FFA is to recoup their losses and get back in the black. For all his failings as an owner, Tinkler it seems was right when he said the "FFA are morally bankrupt". The Forums held last year were clearly just PR to appease the Hunter football fraternity after the debacle of the Tinkler ownership.
In the time since the Forums, FFA have done bugger all to engage with the local community in working together in getting an ownership consortium up and running which would have the best interests of the Newcastle Jets at heart. Instead they have been more interested in getting some sucker from overseas with deep pockets to take our club off their hands and line their pockets.
yep. fk off ffa
If this is true and Ray Gatt from The Australian is usually right on the money, I can't see anyone buying the Jets....$7million for ****s sake
It is believed FFA is asking for $7 million but Lee, who attended the meeting with his financial advisers, is prepared to pay only around $5 million for the embattled A-League club at this stage.
NBN reported tonight the deal is still on and Lee will be attending the game this weekend.
Everybody wave their led lights in the air.
GATT tweeted an hour or so ago that ffa and lee are a lot closer to a deal after today's meeting
"Have heard the Chinese businessman and FFA are now very close to done deal for sale of the jets"
"Further to previous tweet, the Chinese have left the building and on their way home. Still bit of work to be done. See who blinks first"

I went on a bit of a rant about this during recording of this week's Jetstream podcast. Do listen
Apparently an American showing interest?
New York Jets buying Newcastle Jets.
The Jets hats are coming!
I wonder if Carney's agent is working for the FFA trying to hock the Jets off?
Just reeks of the old "sign him up quickly and for top dollar, we have an interested team in Qatar" ploy that was used..
Q-man will go apeshitNew York Jets buying Newcastle Jets.

Googled Hawaiian based real estate mogul.
http://www.shidler.com/about-us/founder
Only one I found. But search also showed up Blair Parry-Okeden, a Hawaiian born billionaire living in Scone. Net worth $8.8 billion. Sign her up.
If it's Shidler he obviously sees development potential in the city now the rail line has gone - expect a new stadium, high rise apartments and massive mall development where Newy station used to be...
The Scone one sounds interesting for a locally based consortium plan though, they may have to buy Broadmeadow race course so they can build the new stadium for double header Jets and geegee nights, maximise profits and betting as the horseys run round the track as the Jets are playing - win win situation...
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
I'd fancy a preseason away trip to Hawaii..,
Robert Kiyosaki anyone? Best mates with Donald Trump too !
make the jets great again
Can we do around a work conference too so I can write both off?....but yeah I'm in for a trip.
