If Ernie gets the job, expect us to never beat Newcastle again.. He'll take them to the final, win the whole thing.
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler interested in job at N'cle Jets. He made contact with @aust_sport on Tues night. Story in @australian 2moro.

Jets confirmed that Fowler representatives have approached club. Fowler told @australian that he would like job "if everything is alright"

Keeping his powder dry for the only coaching job in town that matters?
@WPX4premiers
FORMER English Premier League manager Steve Kean wants to turn the struggling wooden spoon Newcastle Jets into an A-League force.
Kean is in a two-way battle for the vacant coaching job at the club with veteran former Melbourne Victory and Wellington coach Ernie Merrick.
I wouldn't want Kean in charge of my worst enemies team, hope they play safe and go for Ernie instead.

what Nix will he tap up?
Vinnie-esta? Had him at Victory and the Nix, and off contract.

Likely to see Burns back at the Jets?
Who owns the Jets?

Vinnie is unlikely, Jets have Ugarkovic as their DM going forward.
They have up to 7 roster spots to fill & 2 visa slots available as far as I can tell, so not much room for Ernie to collect squaddies.
With Greenacre unlikely to get the Nix top job, I wonder if Ernie might headhunt him to join him at the Jets?
Thanks.
My lasting impression of Merrick from his time here was that he wished to operate, and perhaps could only operate, in an unbridled way with resources available as desired.
This move surprise me in a sense because, unless this Ledman group are willing to match the big clubs budgets I don't know if Ernie will prosper having to cut his cloth to suit.
A fan is a fan.

Good player ? Undoubtedly. But not one I would net the farm on leading a team to success.

I think there are a lot of questions about Merrick given his most recent success was quite a long time ago when the A-League was in quite a different phase. Good luck, as a Phoenix fan I'm quite pleased he's turned up there as his teams are so open we should back ourselves to get some results!
Normo's coming home
Jets win their first game under Ernie, 2-0 vs the Weston Bears, O'Donovan & Pet Rat Snr with the goals
I gave up at Wellington, reveals Merrick.

The beaten 2017/18 A-League grand finalists will meet Madrid-based CD Leganes along with two other clubs, whose identity is yet to be determined.
The Jets will also venture to southern China in early June during a blockbuster pre-season.
Newcastle, along with Sydney FC, will compete in the 2018 Free Trade Port Super Champions Cup, where they'll face Chinese Super League clubs Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua in Haikou.
Bit different to Matt Riddnton’s last pre season; which kicked off with Wests at Porirua Park.
Kotahitanga. We are one.
