Re: FFA Call Press Conference Regarding Newcastle for 12:30
Constantine is holding a presser at 3pm EST.
Really hope this isn't the end for the Jets. It's one thing for a team on the Gold Coast to fall over, but in the Football heartland that is Newcastle this would be a terrible blow to the A-League.

Re: FFA Call Press Conference Regarding Newcastle for 12:30
From what a can gather, Tinkler is a horse owner, relatively young?
Out of all the outcomes, this is by far the best.
Well done Newcastle.

Better than them going out of business I suppose but the way Tinkler has gone through horse trainers I would query the long term stability still.

Well done to Nathan Tinkler
"My family and I have been supporters of the Newcastle Jets for years, and we are delighted to be able to step in and support the club for the city of Newcastle,” Nathan Tinkler said.
"I urge all of the Hunter community to get behind the Jets and show their support by showing up for the games and becoming members of the club.“We are keen to get as many sponsors on board as possible. Newcastle deserves a top-class A-League team, and we are keen to help rebuild the club for the city.“I have faith in the A-League and the concept of the national competition, and I expect Newcastle will play a big role in that future.”

Re: FFA Call Press Conference Regarding Newcastle for 12:30
The difference between Sage and most of the other owners is that Tony was a huge Glory fan before he took over. He went to games and already bled purple.
Although I think Con was a big fan as well, but clearly their are huge problems with the club that he couldn't deal with. Hopefully this new bloke can change a few things, get a better stadium deal, and turn the Jets around.
Next problem.....Palmer FC, can't see him in it for the long term. Hopefully their is a plan for when he gets bored and pulls out.

Re: FFA Call Press Conference Regarding Newcastle for 12:30
Sometimes you have businessmen who have insight into football, and actually knows what it takes to make a club strong and successful. The late Paolo Mantovani at Sampdoria was a good example of this.
Con Constantine, for my money, ranks right up there with Tom Cowie (Sunderland), Charlie Amer (Middlesbrough) and Robert Chase (Norwich), all of whom left their respective clubs in tatters. The similarities there- especially in terms of asset stripping- were uncanny.
Clive Palmer is a real life Eric Cartman. His resemblance is striking. He even copied the Cartmanland marketing strategy down to a tee, without the same success because people aren't exactly queuing up!

Re: FFA Call Press Conference Regarding Newcastle for 12:30
As long as he isn't another Palmer im happy and it has given the FFA some breathing space with their finances.
SEN also talked about a German maybe being signed up by him. I can't remember the name of the top of my head but they said he has had injury problems is really talented and likes to hit up the nightclubs.

Good stuff, Tinkler made it free for U15's last week so hopefully he continues to implement these strategies to engage the community back to EAS.
Tinkler is also a heavy backer of the Newcastle Knights, perhaps he can broker a better stadium deal for the Jets so it's possible to make a profit to keep them viable.
