!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We could genuinely rebrand ourselves as the Newcastle Jerks.

Malky Mackay could be the first boss of the new regime and we could either be the Newcsatle Homophobic jerks, the Newcastle raicst Jerks or the Newcastle male Chavaunistic Jerks.


think of the possibilities!

The Newcastle Racist Jerks would probably contravene the no ethnic policy of the FFA.

The other 2 though should be right

Zads Ladz to be replaced with a supporters group called Biraz/BK'z Bikini Bitchez who stand behind his goals with their baps out, distracting strikers.

SOLD!

Someone gets Tinks on the phone and make this happen.

isis are bang on trend fashion wise am I right parksey?

[leftrightout]

Considering how easily we are overrun a French club would be a perfect fit.

We could be just like our namesake in England, mediocre and full of frenchys!

With the sale all I hope is we remain in Newcastle (which we will as the license is for a Newcastle team) and that we are still called the Jets. Everything else I'm open to, lets face it it couldn't get worse.

Well, we are already half way there then!

[baldrick]

It'll be a club with Arab money, so PSG would spring to mind?

This...

Some would say 2/3rds with same name and all!

I'm with you. I also hope that payments and entitlements continue for teh club as well. We have had a good off season free of drama so far. I hope this distraction doesn't derail or distract the team.

Furthermore, I think the new owners should keep the low prices on season tickets. We've established a fan base with the second highest season membership in the league (I think), so the method of offering low prices to attract more people and fill the stadium really works.

I can't help but think the whole "announcement" after months of hush-hush is a ploy to force the hand of a potential buyer.

Although the price of tickets works wouldn't count your chickens on any new owner doing it also.

Despite how well it works here haven't seen a rush of other clubs doing the same thing.


Hopefully we get some competent management of the club so we are actually looking at a positive future on and off the field not the half hearted approaches we have had in recent years.

PS Will be shattered if our CEO is the same bloke

FOOTBALL Federation Australia says it is ‘‘comfortable’’ with the position of the Newcastle Jets following confirmation by owner Nathan Tinkler that the club is for sale.


“Football Federation Australia (FFA) has previously noted comments from Nathan Tinkler regarding the ownership of the Newcastle Jets,” an FFA spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.


“FFA continues to have regular positive dialogue with the Newcastle Jets about operational and business matters.

“FFA is comfortable with the Newcastle Jets’ plans for the Hyundai A-League 2014/15 season and beyond.”

Tinkler was reported in Friday’s Daily Telegraph as saying: ‘‘The Newcastle Jets are for sale as well. I can’t wait to get them out the door, too.

FFA Couldn't seem to care less

A new owner would probably keep ticket prices low if they are also keen for a new coal loader.

Interesting, they have red and blue in their club colours which would disappoint some I know. Not richy rich rich but a well run organisation consisting on many sports.
