...wow

Lift your stadium catering standards, Adelaide.
People rejecting their food is now impacting your team at the highest level.

lol I wonder how hard it is to register as an Employee Seeker...

Joey has another year on his last contract doesn't he? Or did he re-sign before this season?

Joey has at least another year, maybe two.

The wording is suss too. Previous experience coaching an NBL team a requirement? That limits the field somewhat!

Personally I hope note but would a pro club really advertise a coaching gig like this? Surley it's word of mouth or head hunting.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this happened given how aggressive and cashed up Melbourne are. I dare say Joey would be tempted to go somewhere like that regardless of contract. But this isn't legit.

Joey is not going anywhere. All will become clear soon enough

The last person Joey would work for is LK

"Joey is not going anywhere. All will become clear soon enough"

If that is the case then perhaps since they have new owners Joey just has to reapply for his job.

The ad sounded like it was written to reappoint Joey, but with a requirement that it be openly advertised.

District club in Adelaide not NBL

For anyone in this kind of area, what would be the point of that process?

if you are someone looking to become a permanent resident you need to demonstrate that you have a job or skill set that is unique and that only you can fulfil that task. ergo you aren't taking a job off a local.

Joey's still got another two years to go on his contract so not sure about the needing to re-apply angle. If it's legit it doesn't sound good at all and chances are he would probably take Randle with him.

Joey's struck me as never really being that happy here and I think that might be in part because at Brisbane & Gold Coast he was used to having basically an unlimited budget and would get everything he asked for but here there is a budget, at MU obviously things would go back to how they were.

It would be extremely disappointing if both Joey & Randle left.

The other side of it if it's true that the 36ers are going to be getting a new owner then I think one aspect of that is all contracts become null and void and need to be re-negotiated.

I remember when the SOS group took over after Ninnis' first year as coach they announced they were going to bring him back even though he still had a year to go on his contract which gave the impression with the ownership change his contract had become null and void and they were essentially re-signing him.

I have a feeling everything will be fine....

I got the impression of being not necessarily the 36ers...

Just listen to "Ken Cole was here". Might seem weird on the surface but jobs being advertised for the people expected to get them isn't uncommon. I'd say he already has the job that he's applying for.

One giveaway I noticed right away is the stipulation for 10 years of NBL coaching experience. That limits the field significantly...

Adelaide Basketball Ltd are the owners of the Adelaide 36ers with the registered business name of "Adelaide 36ers".

What would they be doing advertising a head coach role for anyone else including a district club?

Wright is contracted so there is no reason for them to be advertising for the role...

This just appears to be a bizarre maneuver by the 36ers or a super fraudulent effort by someone.

Unless they happened to be incredibly fortuitous in all of their contracts to include a clause regarding change of ownership, then i'd say all contracts remain in tact subject to mutual agreement or breach of agreement otherwise. Contracts don't just become null and void in change of ownership or shareholding.

I'm sure there is method to this madness...

I guess the suggestion here is Adelaide is altering the requirements of the job role to assist Joey in getting his permanent residence. The only reason they would publicly advertise for the job is if that were a requirement as part of legitimizing it.

I'd say he already has the job that he's applying for.

OIC...

Zodiac, the suggestion is more to do with changing the definition of the role for permanent residency purposes than change of ownership or a contractual thing.

Okay I know zilch about permanent residency stuff and why there would be a need to do this. Seems silly but just about everything is with bureaucracy involved.

Time to dust off that CV

I THINK, as Ken Cole was here stated, it is do do with proving that it is a specialised job, i.e must have 10 years professional coaching experience. It's to show that not anyone can do it and you aren't taking a job from a resident, basically.

Why think when you can cumulatively go crazy?!

Twitter is going craycray over this!

Not going anywhere, his daughter is in the State program here. She is his priority now.

Starting to come on radio now . Probably TV tonite..
Sixers phone would be running hot now , media want answers....

As has been clearly stated, it is a bizarre attempt to assist Joey with his application for Permanent Residency.

so , on radio just then , a caller asked if joey was going to mel. united . "No".. they had spoken to sixers and joey contracted for 2 years and best man for the job here..

"so if qualified people apply it could throw a spanner in the works?"

How? They would just take the coach of the year who already has rapport with the roster.

Obviously for this specific instance, it is a facade and Wright will be picked defeating ghe purpose of the regulations.

The laws have more effective application when it comes to jobs where a relationship hasn't already been established with a foreign worker.

"It is not a "bizarre" attempt. It is a Department of Immigration requirement that the job/role be advertised. A copy of the job ad must be included with all documentation. Seek happens to be the most popular job search website so it was used."

Last time I was involved in this process, there was no requirement to re-advertise, provided the nominated person has been doing the job for at least 2 years under a 457 visa.

I only say "bizarre" because it's a bit silly if the government requires such a blatantly phony paper-trail for such a highly specialised role.

"so if qualified people apply it could throw a spanner in the works?"

How? They would just take the coach of the year who already has rapport with the roster.

There's nothing obvious to indicate that this is next level trolling. No throw away line making the joke clear enough.

Why would there be some requirement to advertise the role?

Isn't Wright signed already? That's what someone on here said when I asked in the DD thread.

Sounds like the immigration laws are technical and ridiculous.

Just another day at the office for Joey who has had to put up with ridiculous technicals all season!
