That's dufflecoat supreme.
Shame shame shame. How does he even have "the gall" to coach at another glamorous a-legaue club.
Why won't someone think of his bookies agent.
ADP gone according to Ten News.
Thank **** that diving twat isn't playing in the league any more.

Deserve to be smacked in the mouth for such a disgraceful comment
While he had some negatives to his game they were far out weighed by the positives he has brought to the league.
By far the classiest player we have seen out here. I'm glad I was there to see him 4 times. He will be hard to top and he should be commended for the exposure he has given the code. We are in a better position because of him.
He did have class on the field, but moreso he will be remembered for his antics on the field. ffs, subbing himself without his manager saying so (yes it was farina, but you still don't disrespect your manager like that), him falling over every time he got touched. Off field, he was a complete success, just will be glad the commentators will have something else to talk about.
And **** off Wilso8948, he's not the bloody pope.

I agree re: the commentators. They can lavish praise on Broich more so now.
I guess you and is will remember him for different things, and that's fine
adp was tremendous for the league. get a grip.
I'm not doubting he was great for the league, just have to look at how he boosted Sydney's crowds, from 12,000 avg to 19,000 (although I'm interested to see how many will stick around)! However his on field conduct wasn't great. I respect him for what he's achieved, and his skill etc, but falling over every time he got touched, his continual bitching to referees etc, really diminished his appeal to me.

Anyone who thinks otherwise deserves a good slap imo

Crawley, Kalac & now Young looks like there might be more interest in the Keeper coach for us then the head coach.Young eyes coach role with Jets
By JAMES GARDINER
April 28, 2014, 10 p.m.
NEIL Young made his name as a player at the Newcastle Jets. Now the luckless Perth-born former goalkeeper has his sights on returning to the club as a coach.
Young has expressed an interest in the goalkeeper coaching position which became vacant last week after Bob Catlin did not have his contract renewed. Assistant coach Craig Deans and performance manager Karl Dodd were also shown the door.
The decks were cleared in readiness for a new head coach.
Graham Arnold has been offered a multiyear deal and if he agrees will bring in his own staff. Andrew Clark is almost certain to take up the role of performance manager.
John Crawley, who is at the Mariners, is favoured for the goalkeeping position.
After retiring due to health issues, Young has been working with the Perth Glory keepers for the past two seasons.
In that time he has formed a strong relationship with Danny Vukovic, who played under Arnold at the Mariners and joined him for a loan stint in Japan. Young was told yesterday by management that the Glory were heading ‘‘in a new direction’’, leaving the 34-year-old without a job.
‘‘Kenny Lowe [coach] told me that if he was there I’d be there, but they now want to go in a new direction,’’ Young said.
‘‘There is not much I can do about it. I know I have enjoyed my role and want to continue in coaching.
‘‘Vuka sent me a text, saying it was his best season in six years and I was part responsible.
‘‘The Jets won’t make a decision until they finalise a head coach but with Bobby Catlin leaving there is an opportunity there.
‘‘I’ll send them my resume and have a chat with [chief executive] Robbie Middleby.’’
Young spent two seasons with the Jets from 2009-10. He started as the No.2 behind Ben Kennedy after he impressed in a one-month trial.
The Sorrento gloveman made his A-League debut in round 14 and played nine games before he was collected in the face by then Gold Coast striker Shane Smeltz.
Young sustained a broken nose that required surgery, but then suffered an adverse reaction to antibiotics that left him fighting for his life.
He spent months in hospital, including several weeks in intensive care, and had to endure several operations, including one to remove a large portion of his bowel.
He made it back on the field a year later for the Jets youth.
At the end of that season, he was approached by Perth and moved home.
However, his body struggled with the daily grind of training and he made the decision to move into coaching.
‘‘I did my C-license which is the minimum requirement for the A-League and am enrolled to do another course in July,’’ he said.
‘‘I’m super keen to pursue the coaching.
‘‘Newcastle fans are as passionate as any in the country. When I went back there with the Glory I was welcomed with open arms.
‘‘It has always been a home to me.’’

Without Taggs we are really going to need griff or we will be taking a hue gamble on someone who can be a consistent goal scorer for us next season. Sooooooo..... sign Griff already!Adam Taggart wins 2014 Young Player of the Year, Golden Boot award
By JAMES GARDINER
April 28, 2014, 9:56 p.m.
JETS wonder boy Adam Taggart applied the finishing touches to a breakthrough A-League season on Monday night, adding the Young Player of the Year award to the Golden Boot.
Next for the 20-year-old striker is a place in the Socceroos preliminary squad for the World Cup followed by a contract overseas.
A fringe first-team player 12 months ago, Taggart seemingly has the world at his feet after claiming two of the major awards presented at a gala ceremony at Randwick Racecourse Ballroom on Monday night.
Roar import Thomas Broich created history by becoming the first player to win the Johnny Warren Medal, the players’ player award, for a second time.
The Roar dominated the awards. Mike Mulvey was named coach of the year and Tameka Butt claimed the Julie Dolan Medal as the W-League players’ player.
Taggart scored 16 goals, four clear of the next best, to win his first goal-scorers title and in the process set a new club record.
His haul of six goals in three games, including a hat-trick against the Melbourne Heart, earned the Perth-born attacker the November nomination for the Young Player of the Year.
Jets teammate Josh Brillante was among the other finalists which included Trent Sainsbury, Storm Roux, Dimitri Petratos and Terry Antonis.
Apart from an addition to an already bursting resume, Taggart received a $10,000 NAB personal investment portfolio.
’’It’s nice to get individual awards but it is normally a bonus on top of a successful season,’’ Taggart said.
’’It would have been a lot nicer had we made the finals and gone further than we had done in the past few years.’’
Taggart has a year to run on his contract at the Jets, but has made no secret of his desire for a move to Europe.
’’There have been lot of big conversations and we are getting to the nitty, gritty stuff,’’ he said.
’’It is getting closer and closer.
’’All those leagues are just finishing up, and that is when their real planning starts.
’’Hopefully I will know something in the next three or four weeks.
’’It would be good to ease my mind so I know what I’m doing - whether it is staying with the Jets or going overseas - but at the same time I am not in any rush.’’
Taggart has been linked to a move to Holland and on Monday confirmed that the Eredivisie was his preferred destination.
’’One of the main priorities for me is to be playing first-team football,’’ Taggart said.
’’I’m not expecting to go overseas and play straight away but you want to know that you will have an opportunity.
’’I have got used to the feeling of first-team football, playing week-in week-out and playing with the best players.
’’It would be so hard to go back and wait a long time.
’’Holland is a great destination. It is a real football country.
’’It is not the best league in the world but it is a good stepping stone going from Australia.
’’A lot of Australians have done well there. They seem to like Australians’ attitude and worth ethic. It would be a great place to go to.’’
The Jets wound up their season on Monday but Taggart, Brillante and keeper Mark Birighitti will continue training to ensure they are in good shape if named in a 30-man Socceroos squad on May 14.
’’I had a light week last week but am now back into it,’’ Taggart said.
’’If the opportunity comes to go into camp I want to be raring to go.
’’You can’t allow an opportunity like that to slip by.
’’You have to be doing everything you can. You never know who is going to get selected, and you never know what is going to happen with injuries.’’
The trio will work together as well as train with the Jets youth team.
’’We will do extras but it is not as beneficial if you are training by your self or in a group of three,’’ Taggart said.
’’With the youth team there is a team environment and you get game situations.’’
The Jets are scheduled to assemble for pre-season training in June.
Joel Griffiths, David Carney, Josh Mitchell, James Brown, Joey Gibbs and Nick Ward off contract at the end of next month
Griffiths and Carney have held preliminary talks with the club, but the remainder appear unlikely to be retained.

Would love to have Youngy back here tbh. Showed a lot of passion and commitment to the club.
And sign Griff FFS.

I watched Catlin run our keepers through things once and thought it was terrible. As much as I liked the idea of a former player being here and coaching, etc - he didn't seem up to it to me. And TBH Biraz was an amazing prospect before he came to us - what did Catlin actually do in terms of player development? Seemingly he's done nothing to BK, and who was this Solari bloke he brought in and is he doing anything of note? He looked sketchy when I watched him.
Crawley produces keepers. We need him. Also is ridiculously close to Arnold, and IMO we need Arnold to feel as home as he can be.
OK
same could be said for kalac with janjetovic from sydney
he was a nothing goal keeper from the state league, and is probably one of the better keepers in the league.
if the rumors are true and vuka left perth and we picked him up you daresay youngy might have a chance.
Amazing prospect ? Get off the drugs.
What had Biraz done before he arrived at the Jets ? He was a 2nd string keeper at Adelaide with very little game time.
Caitlin should have been sacked sooner for giving Biraz the nod over BK who as we have seen is the superior keeper.
I completely disagree with you there.
Biraz was rated so highly before coming to us. It was a real coup that we got him IMO! Adelaide fans genuinely believed the best two keepers in the entire competition were on their books at the time - which may not have been wrong.
Disregarding how "phased" he might be after an incident this year, he's still one of the best keepers in the league.
And please don't take my drugs away from me.
OK
you mean, like BK?
we will loose
