As the club's future continues to remain uncertain, the players have been applauded for the way they have gone about their jobs.

"The players are proving that they are outstanding ambassadors for the game as negotiations continue behind closed doors to secure the future of A-League football in Newcastle," PFA Chief Executive Brendan Schwab told the PFA's official website.

"Despite great stress, the players have continued to promote the game, train hard and perform well on the field.  As true professionals, they are determined to play their part and ensure the Jets quickly overcome the current challenges."

Schwab said that the PFA had received messages of support from Australian players around the world for both the players and football in Newcastle.

"The players are certainly not alone.  Not only do all A-League players fully support them, we have received messages from Australian players throughout the world asking for a briefing on the situation."

A visitor to the PFA offices this week was former Newcastle defender Andrew Durante, in Melbourne on Wellington Phoenix duties.

"All A-League players are concerned with the current situation the players and staff at the Jets find themselves in," Durante told the PFA's website.

"The Hunter region has a proud football history and it is important that it retains its A-League representation. I wish everyone well in seeking a successful resolution to this unfortunate situation.'
