After months of uncertainty, the future of the Newcastle Jets has been secured with the confirmation of new owners. A consortium led by businessman Lawrie McKinna has purchased the club from the previous owners, the Labbad family. The deal was finalized on Thursday, bringing an end to months of speculation about the Jets’ future. McKinna is a well-known figure in Newcastle, having previously played for and coached the Jets. He is also a successful businessman, with interests in various industries. The new owners have pledged to invest heavily in the club, both on and off the field. They have promised to upgrade the Jets’ training facilities, improve the club’s academy system, and bring in new players. The Jets have endured a difficult period in recent years, both on and off the field. The club has struggled financially and has not won a trophy since 2008. However, the new owners are optimistic about the future. They believe that the Jets have the potential to be one of the leading clubs in Australia. “We are excited about the opportunity to take the Newcastle Jets to the next level,” McKinna said. “We have a long-term plan for the club, and we are confident that we can bring success back to the Hunter.” The confirmation of new owners has been met with a positive reaction from Jets fans. Many believe that the club’s future is now secure and that the Jets can challenge for trophies again soon. “This is great news for the club and for the fans,” said Jets fan John Smith. “I’m excited to see what the future holds for the Jets.” The new owners will take over the club immediately. They will be responsible for appointing a new head coach and making decisions about the playing squad. The Jets will begin their 2023-24 A-League season on October 8th. They will be hoping to make a fresh start under their new owners and to challenge for a place in the finals.Newcastle Jets Sold to New Owners

The Newcastle Jets, an A-League soccer club, have secured new owners in Maverick Sports Partners, a Melbourne-based group. The deal brings stability to the team, which had been in limbo since January 2021 after previous owner Martin Lee lost his license. The new ownership group, led by director Maurice Bisetto, expressed their confidence in the club and the A-Leagues. Bisetto emphasized their commitment to building success for the Jets and the region. “We believe in this club, the A-Leagues, and its players,” Bisetto said. “We are impressed by the strength of football here and the strong fan base.” The transfer of ownership and license approval is subject to regulatory processes. Bisetto outlined plans to develop local talent, a strength in the nearby Central Coast region. “We will invest in developing local players into top A-League players,” Bisetto said. “We will also ensure that our elite coaching and football structures support this talent development.” CEO Shane Mattiske welcomed the new ownership and acknowledged the previous consortium’s support. He expressed excitement for the future with owners who believe in the potential of the Jets, the community, and soccer. The successful sale of the Newcastle Jets ensures the club’s continued participation in the A-League and provides a foundation for growth and success in the years to come.Newcastle Jets have been saved from administration after a consortium led by former Socceroos defender Craig Foster and businessman Shane Lowry agreed to buy the club. The Jets were placed in administration last month after failing to secure a financial backer, but the new owners have now stepped in to save the club.

The club has been in a state of disarray in recent years, but the new owners are confident that they can turn things around. “We’re going to take things one step at a time,” Foster said. “We’re going to build a strong foundation and then we’ll start to climb the ladder.” The Jets will be hoping to start the new season with a clean slate. The club has been through a lot in recent years, but the new owners are confident that they can build a successful future for the club.
