It seems if this were to be true it would be a reflection of our financial situation or lack thereof. Obviously Bridges is the poverty pack coach and all we can afford.
Bridges would be more suited to the Emerging Jets Director position if they want to give him a role in the club. For the sake of this club the clowns running it have to get the next Head Coach 100% right. Bridges is a massive gamble, even greater than bringing GVE back for a 2nd time. A player who is suddenly promoted to the coaching role is very rarely successful at coaching his former team-mates in any sport. Anyone think of a coach who has succeeded in this situation? I recall Farina as player-coach of Brisbane Strikers back in 1997 but there have been more misses than hits.
How anyone at the Jerks can look at the likes of Aloisi, Muscat, etc and think that fastforwarding a previously untested, even at state league and/or nyl level, player is absurd.
Regardless of if I had a vendetta against the player or not - if the Jerks made ANY player in a position similar to Bridges our head coach I would spit chips. The fact that it's Bridges just makes it even sweeter, or more bitter, or both.
This is an absolute disc race. If Bridges is made head coach, I want to see the PFA sue the club. I would want the FFA to revoke our licence.
OK
I lay this out right here right now: if Michael Bridges is made head coach of the Jets for next season, I become a CCM supporter.
Btw inb4 "you're already one, WLG"
OK
Why gypos though? Why wouldn't u pick someone better? Massive gypo.
Just to back you up Jeterpool, I heard the same thing from someone with
strong (and former) NNSWF connections....about 4 weeks ago.
I was privately gunning for Milicic m'self but Ange got there first.
No he ****ing wouldn't
How the ****ing bloke could even be considered to head it up is as absurd as making him first team coach.
Give him a job coaching one of the Emerging Jets sides for a few years and get some form on the board if you want before he should even be considered for any type of coaching role in the NYL/HAL set up
Surely they wouldn't do this! Would they?
Funny if he is appointed and is quite successful... i know its unlikely but f*ck it would be funny!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Mods can we get the thread title changed back to its former state.
The blokes back
Its barely been 4 ****ing weeks and the **** has a job again within the Jets
FFS
Member, isn't it technically with NNSWF, as opposed to the Jets? Like how the w-league team is overseen by NNSWF (and that went so well…)

Emerging jets is a jointly funded and organised body with FFA, NNSWF & the club.
I'd say the FFA kicking in some coin is because its the desired model, NNSWF is large enough to test the model but small enough to be able to get it up and running quickly. It was also announced after Tinklers big issues with his license fee wouldn't be surprised if that was a token gesture by the FFA too.
Seems as though Gary has found another job.
