    The foz isn't much better either, twits everywhere amongst the greater good.

    A different, sanitised football world now, one I don't really like.

    Hopefully the deal will be done, if not I will be.

    Still better than FB, weirdly, largely because no one's here.

    Ben Homer getting inside info and Andy Harper making some cryptic comments allude to this.

    Nothing certain until a press conference, which you would "have" to think will happen this week now the season is over for both teams.

    So NNSW part is to fully fund the junior jets sides, unlike the broken system we have currently.

    All players don't have to pay a cent, this way ensuring the best are picked to become the true breeding ground for football in Newcastle...good onya NNSW...

    Well said sir.
    Rodders and 2Bob also on the money.

    For all we know the new owner will be another Tinkler, who knows

    Ideally, but NNSW wont pay regos ever. They like sitting on their cash stash

    just hoping one of them might read the forum and go back to the big dog and say "hey boss why don't we do it this way now we are part owners, nothing else has worked."

    All I can see happening with that is that NNSWs portion of they charge every Community player in their Rego will go up to cover the cost for little Johnny and friends at the Academy. An extra $10 from every player in NNSW will net them another half a million.

    So......

    https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/s...ecured/?cs=305

    Not sure what I think about this. Deal secured but still feel we have been done over. It's like the owners wanted a deal that was more for their own clubs benefit, not the benefit of Newcastle.

    I think they would have rejected NUFC even.Do a deal to make us one of the richer clubs? Not a chance.

    As it is this looks like a conservative deal.....we still have a club though.

    Well if Shane is around we better not discuss anything off the field as it may distract and disrespect the players

    I reckon the prospective buyers have failed to read the room on this potential appt.

    New owners have limited to no money for recruits so are relying on youth. Lets see how this turns out.

    Scout the best youth in the land coupled with home grown

    There’s absolutely no reason we can’t be doing better than CCM.

    It’s a sorry state of affairs that we are looking to emulate their approach, but it seems the way forward for clubs not bankrolled with owners happy to donate money to average footballers.

    WSW will interesting to watch over the next 5 years if they can convert their youth program success into first grade footballers and beyond. Their facilities, catchment and results to this point are impressive.

    CCM have a good track record recently of hiring decent coaches and getting results from their squads with seemingly unknown players, a lot of whom are local.


    Again, there’s no reason we can’t replicate this. If our new overlords prefer to tip their money into facilities and youth systems, and invest in the long term, I don’t have a problem with that, so long as it’s transparent and we can monitor the progress.

    The comments coming out so far sound a bit miserable though and seem very focussed on “we’re buying, but don’t expect us to be putting together a competitive team” instead of some positively spun “we are committed to developing youth football in the region and establishing solid foundations to build this club into a nursery of future a league players”. I know it’s all PR rubbish at the end of the day, but it hasn’t really instilled me with much hope.

    Our situation is nothing like that of CCM. We don't have any of their infrastructure, and they don't have to compete for resources (fans, admin, players, sponsors...you name it] with the Knights like the Jets do.
    The Jets don't have anything to attract players other than those not wanted elsewhere, and anyone they can develop or find from obscurity will soon enough be poached away - because all other pastures are greener - even CCM.
