Culina vows to look local
Jets coach Branko Culina vows to look local
BY JAMES GARDINER
14 Oct, 2010 01:00 AM
Jets coach Branko Culina has pledged to look locally to fill a raft of new positions in the club's football department and will start by meeting with his current staff.
Executive chairman Ken Edwards unveiled on Tuesday a $2.5 million structure incorporating eight extra full-time support staff that will transform the Jets into one of the best resourced A-League clubs.
The new positions include full-time operations manager, strength and conditioning coach, youth team coach and a manager and head scout.
The goalkeeping coach, physiotherapist and masseur will be upgraded from part-time to full-time, and skills coaches, nutritionist, video analyst and a leadership consultant will be employed on a part-time basis.
Under the old set-up, Culina, assistant coach Mark Jones, gear steward Chad Ralston and Craig Deans, who splits his duties between operations manager and youth team coach, were the only full-time staff.
"This is a great opportunity to get it right," said Culina, who will be responsible for the hiring. "Before we look elsewhere I want to sit down with the existing staff, get their views, thoughts, ideas and see whether we can move forward.
"Some of the positions will be upgraded, some need to be filled. We need to make sure with the existing people that they are comfortable and we are comfortable.
"If that is the case I can't see why we can't fill them quickly.
"Some of the other positions, for instance, head scout might take a bit longer, because we have to identify someone who has a nose for that kind of thing."
Culina said he had been inundated with inquiries since the structure was released.
"Where possible I want to fill the position with people from Newcastle," he said.
"You want local people involved, but they have to be capable of doing the job."
Former Socceroo Aytek Genc has been strongly linked to a role with the Jets but Culina said his name or anyone else was speculation.
"I don't know why he has been mentioned other than he was my assistant at Sydney FC," Culina said.
Culina does not anticipate that every appointment will be greeted with widespread approval.
"Those at the top will be the first to be scrutinised," he said. "Some of the decisions may not be everyone's cup of tea. At the end of the day we are accountable for it. In the past you didn't have the input but were still responsible."
The Jets bolstered their administration staff with the appointment yesterday of former Cronulla NRL chief executive Richard Fisk as the membership and corporate sales director and confirmation that John Tsatsimas will remain as chief executive.
Sponsorship and membership are areas Edwards has targeted for increases.
"I think last year the total sponsorship revenue for the Jets was in the order of $250,000," Edwards said.
"Whereas at the Central Coast Mariners it was over $2 million.
"There is the sponsorship and the corporate hospitality, but more importantly the real strategic focus for us is the membership side of it.
"We are going to use the rest of this year to do research - talk to fans and season ticket-holders - and launch a new membership program for next season."
The Jets will tomorrow announce new ticket prices for the remaining 11 home games.
"Our focus is making football affordable for kids and families," Edwards said. "We will be announcing some very attractive pricing for families, including children under 15 free."

Newcastle Jets slash ticket prices
Newcastle Jets slash ticket prices

Andrew Slevison
A-League club Newcastle Jets have become more fan-friendly by slashing ticket prices for the rest of the season.
Since being taken over by mining and racing magnate Nathan Tinkler, the Hunter Valley outfit have put into place some strong off-field plans to get Newcastle football back to what it once was culminating in cheap family ticket prices.
For the remaining 11 home games, family tickets can be bought for just $100, which means it is just under $10 a game for families to come to EnergyAustralia Stadium to watch the Jets.
This is just another step forward for the club, who yesterday announced that CEO John Tsatsimas had signed on and that former Cronulla Sharks CEO Richard Fisk had joined in a corporate membership role.
Newcastle are away against the Brisbane Roar this weekend but return to EnergyAustralia for the Wednesday, October 27 clash with North Queensland Fury.

Newcastle Jets in marketing shake-up
Newcastle Jets in marketing shake-up
12 Nov 2010
John Davidson
A-league soccer club the Newcastle Jets has undergone a major restructure of its marketing department, with several new senior marketing hires and the departure of its marketing and media manager.
The changes follow the club's buyout by mining magnate Nathan Tinkler, who recently rescued the Jets from financial oblivion.
As part of an attempt to revive the club and raise its profile, Tinkler struck a deal to bring the LA Galaxy team and footballer David Beckham to play against the Jets in Australia in an exhibition match on 27 November.
Former Cronulla Sharks CEO and rugby league marketer Richard Fisk has joined the Jets in the newly-created role of director of membership and corporate. Fisk spent 11 years as general manager of marketing at the Sydney Roosters, and before that spent five years in a marketing role with the Sharks.
Fisk said he joined the Jets because it was "one of the most exiciting opportunities I've ever been offered".
"It's [the Jets'] a unique model in Australian sport," he said.
Eclipse Media, Events and PR managing director Tracy Kearney has also joined the club's executive team to provide strategic direction and advice. Kearney, who also has a role as marketing, promotions and PR manager for Newcastle exhibition company PJ Promotions, formerly worked for Prime Television in marketing and promotions.
AdNews understands the Jets marketing and media manager Andrew Licata has departed the club. Fisk said it was Licata's decision to depart, and that former Australian Rugby League media manager Doug MacDougal is now handling PR for the club.
In the past few weeks, the Jets signed a new shirt sponsorship deal with the Hunter Medical Research Institute where the club pays the Institute $5000 for every home goal and $2500 for every away goal the club scores. The Jets have also announced a reduction in ticket prices and cheaper ticket deals such as reduced family season passes and free entry for children under 15 years old.
Fisk said the Jets were not looking for any more jersey sponsors "at the moment", but said its corporate support had more than doubled since the Beckham game was secured.
"The club's brand value has quadrupuled over night," he said.

I think it was almost 7k but it was a pretty bad game IMO and I couldn't decide whether to watch NSW getting smashed in the cricket or the soccer.
