They have binned Jaliens (who has taken up a injury contract with City) and have signed Boogard for next season.
Lee Ki-Je re-signs with the Jets. He has been rather good for them since signing.

COACH Phil Stubbins declared the Jets’ plan is to recruit international
and Australian marquees next season and they will spend the entire
$2.55million salary cap to lift themselves out of the A-League cellar.

Tinkler’s stressed financial position has been well documented,
including a garnishee order that allows the Australian Tax Office to
intercept the monthly grant the club receives from FFA.
I had wondered why the FFA grant wasn't being used to pay the players. Seems rather harsh from the Government taking money that has to be paid to the employees. This has resulted in players and staff being paid late in the past two monthly wage cycles.

Newcastle Jets owner Nathan Tinkler is on the verge of having his
A-League licence revoked after the fallen mining magnate failed to pay
overdue wages and club management could not indicate when they would be
met.

I hope both Newcastle and Brisbane have to be taken over by the FFA and it takes years for them to find a buyer. Or someone gets the Newcastle license and moves the team to Auckland. Dreams are free.......

Can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Ockers if we had the Auckland Jets? We'd have to rename it the ANZ-League. Hey, and we'd have a ready made sponsor!

From what I understand, Jets in administration automatically means licence reverts to FFA. Problem is, without licence, there's (cont)

Tinkler says the club could be sold to Scottish club Dundee United
for $5-million, if that sale is permitted by Football Federation
Australia.
http://www.nbnnews.com.au/2015/05/20/tinkler-puts-jets-into-voluntary-administration/He said the sale hinges on whether FFA revoke’s his ownership licence.
“I have been in negotiations with the FFA over the last few days
and wasn’t able to get them to guarantee the licence,” Tinkler told
News Corp on Wednesday.
“And I haven’t been willing to pay wages unless they guaranteed that so I have put the club into administration just now.”
Tinkler says the offer from Dundee is well in excess of his debts.
“The only risk to that is if the FFA decide to act in a morally bankrupt manner and take the licence and that presents a whole bunch of other issues,” said Tinkler.
Sounds like Tinkler is trying to force the FFA's hand? Let me sell it for 5m or you will have to take back ownership

Pretty sure when the FFA took the Phoenix license off of Serepisos and passed it to the current owners the players all had to re-sign but on the same terms.
Ramon should send them a CV. Good opportunity to build a club how he wants with a pretty depleated squad. Hopefully this means Stubbins is out.

Ironically, I believe Ramon came to NZ and to ACFC after having met ACFC board member Colin Cook in Europe, and Colin Cook happens to be a Scot and a Dundee Utd fanatic!

Juric obviously couldn't pick up a European deal? Juric is a player who looks a million dollars but his A-league record doesn't scream European star.
