I suspect they will keep the Jets brand. For all the soiling Tinkler has done, it still has some currency in the market.

The Knights kept their branding too in similar circumstances. I don't think we need to re-invent the wheel in Newcastle, just make sure we can fund the wheel in the first place.

Can't say I'm sorry, apart from losing something to laugh at year in, year out. Will miss that.

I say this because it's probably a cert that HSG actually own the name "Newcastle Jets" even though FFA has taken back the license. Any new owner, or indeed the FFA, will need a new "nick", ASAP in fact, because they will want to get the club up and running and competitive for the pre-season and the FFA Cup, I reckon.

Nope - according to IP Australia, the FFA own the trademarks.

Maybe Newcastle United should buy them out and use them as a feeder club like City did with Heart.
Makes sense to me.

Newcastle Ice.
Named after the terrible drug half of that city appears to be on.

Well, FFA are really doing a number, Stubbins & all his support staff are gone. If Creepy goes south, van Strattan would be a very economical replacement for us.

Rumours some time ago that JC's contract was up and he would be moving on with Nash, who is part of JC's goalkeeping school, to be his replacement.

I'd say the Jets will be challenging for silverware in two to three years if the FFA keep control of them for that long. Considering the FFA's previous track record of setting up clubs a la the Wanderers and Roar.

I was in Newcastle on Friday and my customer told me someone had bought the Jets already.
Anyone else hear anything about this?

AMBITIOUS MORI IS READY TO TAKE ON THE JETS JOB

Former Australia goalscoring legend Damian Mori claimed that he has completed his coaching apprenticeship and that he is ready for the step up to the A-League should the opportunity arise.

Mori, who coaches Adelaide City in the National Premier Leagues, is a serious contender for the Newcastle Jets job that became available after the dismissal of Phil Stubbins last month.

Mori has talked with Football Federation Australia, which has taken over the running of the troubled club after previous owner Nathan Tinkler was relieved of his licence.

"I have done my seven-year coaching apprentice in the NPL with Adelaide City," said Mori, whose all-time scoring record for the Socceroos was broken only this season by Tim Cahill.

"I've got 11 years of coaching experience all up now so I'm ready to step into a hot seat in the A-League.

"Of course, as you know, I've played in the A-League too.

"For me it is a dream to get to the A-League as a coach if the opportunity to work there comes up, that is.

"And if I don't get it, I'll keep trying."

Mori said he was surprised to read reports suggesting he is the frontrunner for the Jets job.

"I've only spoken to the FFA once, to A-League head Damien de Bohun to be specific.

"I want the job and if it is offered to me and I agree to the terms I will take it, no doubt about that.

"It would give me a chance to improve a team that has not been successful for a long time."

Mori said he would bring to the job the same qualities that made him so successful on the football field as a player.

"I am a winner and I work with a winning mentality," he explained.

"Of course, I will want my team to play quality football but that is generally determined by the quality of footballer you have.

"Regular finals football must be the Jets' priority and that is what my priority would be if I were to get the job.

"You see, what the Jets need more than anything else is for their fans to get behind them again.

"One way of doing that is by winning games."

Newcastle finished bottom the the 10th A-League with only three wins from 27 matches.

Agree totes!

If the spaniard that "froths at the mouth" hadn't turned adelaide around when he did (remember it took him half a season b4 Adelaide came good with him introducing his "frothy football") .....

I think Mori would've been seriously considered taking over AU, given his result in the previous FFA Cup with Adel.City and his legendary status in that State as a player.
