FFA revoke Tinkler's licence for Jets

Nathan Tinkler's licence to own A-League club Newcastle Jets has been terminated.

Tinkler had earlier placed the club into voluntary administration with debts of $2.7 million.

Football Federation Australia says it will own and control a new licence to be issued to a fresh entity.

FFA said it terminated the licence of Tinkler's Hunter Sports Group (HSG) because of material breaches of the licence.

"HSG has behaved in a deplorable way towards the players and staff of the club in failing to meet basic obligations to pay wages," FFA chief executive David Gallop said in a statement on Wednesday.
