Saw that. They're obviously jealous of the Mariners being a massive **** up and wanted to join them.

Email I got from the club:
Dear member,
Newcastle Jets can advise that the Club has parted ways with Head Coach Scott Miller, effective immediately.
The Club’s ownership and senior management made the decision on Wednesday morning based on differences related to football matters within the Club.
Since the decision was made Newcastle Jets Chief Executive Officer Mr Lawrie McKinna has met with Miller to discuss his departure from the Club.
“We acknowledge that the timing of this decision is far from ideal given the close proximity of next Hyundai A-League season,” McKinna said.
“But once the decision was made to move in a different direction regarding the Head Coach role we deemed it to be in everyone’s best interests to act quickly.
“I met with Scott this morning to inform him of the decision and discuss it.
“We thank Scott for the work he has done at the Club since being appointed by Football Federation Australia (FFA) last year and wish him well in his next position,” McKinna concluded.
McKinna has sought to notify all Club players and staff today.
No timeframe has been set for the appointment of a new Head Coach at Newcastle Jets.
The Newcastle Jets first team squad will return to training on Friday in preparation for Sunday’s friendly with Edgeworth FC at Jack McLaughlan Oval.

Chinese coach or it's time for Rudan to finally make the step up although he might be waiting for Arnold to go from Sydney FC whenever that'll happen. Ex Assistant Papas has been doing well at Green Gully too.

This unprofessionalism is a blight on the league. At least with the Mariners you could point to the FFA Cup result as the catalyst. There doesn't seem to be a catalyst here other than McKinna/the Board apparently deciding to pull their thumbs out of their arses and actually speak to Miller months after the Chinese takeover.

Sacked him a month before the season. Why keep him the last 4-5 months and then sack him now? Dumb.
Newcastle are notorious for it.
Who could ever forget Tinkler sacking Branko Culina while he was at the leagues season launch.

Ha. Of course! Heady days for the A-League with Tinkler and Palmer thinking they were technical directors!
Hearing City and Colazo close to striking a deal..

McKinna saying the decision was made by people above him...
Reading on social media, lots of fans are pretty unhappy with the decision as Miller was young and doing an alright job given the circumstances.
Well there goes my optimism yet again for a decent season. Sigh.

Hearing rumors there was a bust up between Miller and new assistant Luc Trani and the players sighted with Trani, if that's true Miller must have f@cked up major big for the club to sack him!

Because the Ledman Group (who most likely gave the orders for the sacking) have only owned the Jets for 3 months. Miller hasn't been doing what the owners want (i.e. refusing to sign a Chinese player/ taking 3 u20s players on the Chinese tour instead of 3 senior squad members) so they've given him the arse.Why didn't they do it 5 months ago?

So the Coach has to be a lapdog to the Chinese?
Good luck whoever gets the job then being hamstrung like that, unless of course they bring in a Chinese coach which would be utter stupidity.

As I said our our owners are crazy.
We already have a Chinese assistant coach (who most likely stabbed Miller in the back along with our other assistant Luciano Trani) so a Chinese coach isn't actually that much of a stretch.
The below I've taken from the Newcastle Jets forum and it's the best description I can find for what has transpired (credit to the original author: evanhayes5)

Haha, what did you find annoying about him faith? Anything in particular?
I had heard some bits and pieces from the trip but that forum post was really good in helping link them all together about what might have happened.
Either way, really pops any bubbles of excitement for not only the new season but the new era under their ownership.
Not sure who're going to get - McKinna seemed to hint a local might be given the job but sacking a promising young Aussie coach for someone else seems a bit redundant. Hope Trani doesn't get it - sounds like a nasty piece of work.
P.S Cool to see another Jets fan on the boards haha.
Gatt suggesting Trani has been terminated. Couldn't make this shit up.

So Trani gone too. Not a great time to be a Newcastle fan or CCM fan the last couple of years...
