Good with numbers not letters.

Yer ... on that show on SBS "Letters & Numbers" I struggle to get more than a five letter word but nearly always get close or the number in the numbers part...

Sure it's written on his back, but how many of us need to look to see who he is?
I must admit I didn't.

It turns out the Jerks players & staff weren't paid last night either, with the club conceding that it didn't have the money to do so:

Lol this just keeps getting better

It's conceivable the FFA could be running both the Jets and the Roar before too long.
Does not help expansion plans.

MLS had 10 clubs owned by three owners at one time (2002 - Anschutz Entertainment Group owned 6, Lamar Hunt 3, Robert Kraft 1). Given the FFA's recent record when owning clubs (WSW says hi), I think it's fair to bet that having clubs owned by the League isn't as much of an issue as having clubs owned by f**kwits.

News Ltd. has or had stakes in a whole bunch of NRL clubs, and much as we apparently like to pretend otherwise they're in pretty rude health, commercially speaking. Their billion dollar TV deal dwarfs ours, as do their ratings on FTA and STV.

FFA also happens to have a fair wedge of cash lying around, thanks to the sale of Wanderers and the *big* windfall that came out of the Asian Cup. If they directed some of that into running new clubs they can boost the value of the next broadcast deal, and frankly I think broadcasters would trust them more than the cowboys like Tinkler too.

A-League: FFA set to act as Newcastle Jets owner Nathan Tinkler fails to meet salary obligations

Tom Smithies, The Daily Telegraph, May 19, 2015 7:00PM

NATHAN TINKLER has less than 24 hours to save his ownership of the Jets, as the financial crisis engulfing the club finally comes to a head.

Newcastle received notice from Football Federation Australia on Tuesday that unless this month’s salaries to players and staff are in their bank accounts by close of business Wednesday, Tinkler will have his A-League licence revoked and FFA will step in to run the club in the short term.

The salaries were meant to be paid last Friday but, The Daily Telegraph understands, Tinkler told club officials yesterday that there would be no more money injected into the business. With the Australian Taxation Office already confiscating the monthly grant from FFA which is meant to underwrite player payments, due to Tinkler’s outstanding tax liabilities, the club is on the verge of trading while insolvent.

That would be an automatic licence breach and it’s understood FFA have finally lost patience with Tinkler after setting him a series of deadlines, and with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt still outstanding. That includes a substantial quantity of superannuation and back pay, as well as rent owed on the club’s training facilities at Newcastle University — a debt that has seen the Jets players barred from using it.

The delay in receiving pay this week is the third time in four months that the salaries have been late. Though coach Phil Stubbins is in Europe and has spoken optimistically of seeking out a marquee signing, FFA’s priority will be to stabilise the business and address the immediate debts so that pre-season training can be scheduled for when the players return from their current holiday.

“FFA has today sent correspondence to the Newcastle Jets in relation to the non-payment of players and staff,” said an FFA spokesperson. “This situation needs to be resolved urgently and the club management understands that meeting basic obligations is imperative. FFA is preparing to take steps to address this matter.”

There seems little hope of bringing a new owner in immediately, despite interest in recent months from the chairman of Scottish club Dundee United, Stephen Thompson, in taking the club over. As recently as February Thompson had spoken of the potential for investment in the A-League but Tinkler had sought a purchase price of $5m.

There has also been speculation about a group of local businessmen taking over but no white knight is currently on the horizon. The Jets ultimatum comes with serious question marks hanging over Brisbane Roar, wit the Bakrie family that owns it under financial pressure and a number of senior staff having quit.

Meanwhile Western Sydney’s assistant coach, Ian Crook, has stepped down to run the club’s academy. Crook, a former head coach of Sydney FC, has an excellent track record in working with youth players. Former Melbourne City assistant Hayden Foxe, who joined the club last year, is likely to be appointed as Tony Popovic’s assistant before the players report back for pre-season training.

Amongst all the shit about Tinkler, something that's no laughing matter.

VALE SAM TAYLOR
MAY 19, 2015 FURNS LEAVE A COMMENT


As many of you may already be aware, yesterday the Newcastle Jets family lost a Squadron member.

Sam Taylor had attended Jets home and away games for years, was a constant presence on the terrace, played his local football with many of his mates at South Cardiff FC and was a lifelong Tottenham Hotspur supporter.

He was a mate to so many, inside and outside of the football community in the Hunter. He was someone you looked for when attending Jets games, someone who would always say Gday, and you could have a beer with.

On Monday 18th May, he passed away in his sleep. He was 23 years of age. We ask you to keep his family, friends and colleagues in your thoughts at this most difficult time.

Vale Sam, you will be missed by many, and remembered by even more.

 

[midfielder]

Very sad for someone so young to pass on.

 

[rbakersmith]

And the Jets are in administration with debts of $2.7 million:

Back in 2012 when they were (temporarily) axed I thought it hilarious. But I find this news concerning and (to be honest) a little deflating. The last Mariners v Jest game had all the feel of a derby on the verge of flat-lining- between the pitiful crowd and lack of atmosphere (especially when compared to the F3D's between 2005-2010) and the fact Hutcho played less game time than Stevie G did in his last hit-out against Manure- with the shit, prosaic football on display- it added up to the feeling of witnessing a slow, inevitable death.

If the Jest go then it's only really WSW we have to look forward to- and that's based more on recent history and a laughable element of their fan base. Even then, they're more concerned with SFC and the Tards than they are with us. If the Jest are axed and no Newcastle team replaces them, then the A-League's original "derby" is gone for good. That would be a real damn shame. It had got to the point where I was hoping the Jest would become at least a decent team once more, because with their recent history of shit and the exit of Hutch/ Sackwhack, the F3D was already on life-support...

The ws wankers would be our new rivals however they've won f**k all this season & their fans imo are just bogan ultras who complain all the time about getting pepper sprayed by riot police when it's normally their fault

[sydmariner]

"A new licence will be issued to a new entity owned and controlled by FFA. A club from Newcastle will remain a member of the Hyundai A-League and current players of the Newcastle Jets will be offered contracts with the new entity."

New entity? No more Jets?
I don't know how their fans will take to a new team but if they get a stable team up there it is good for us, we kind of need the rivalry.

I wonder if anything will come of the Dundee talk?

 

[nearlyyellow]

I wonder if anything will come of the Dundee talk?

If FFA has rescinded the license held by Tinkler et al then it may be possible that FFA could invite Dundee to be the licensee of a Newcastle club. What a bloody nose for Tinkler that would be.
