News had filtered out over the past week that the team had threatened to boycott the match against the K-League team over the whereabouts of player payments for the ACL campaign.

The player's union, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has been in talks with Football Federation Association since late last year over the issue and the Jets players hoped to force a resolution by threatening strike action.

Thompson said that the matter had been resolved after a meeting between the players and owner Con Constantine on Thursday night and the Jets skipper confirmed the players were committed to playing in next Wednesday night's match in Korea.

"We obviously have a better understanding of where it lies. We spoke to the PFA about where the AFC payments would come from and we have to thank them for that.

"But having said that Con (Constantine) sat us down yesterday and made it clear with us and where it lay and we left that meeting with all the boys happy with what Con had said and now we are just concentrating on next week's game," said Thompson.

Asked if the off-field dramas had affected the players during the build-up for next week's match Thompson was emphatic in his response.

"It hasn't. You step over the white chalk to get business done and when we got off the pitch there were a few things to sort out but training has been great the whole week," he said.

"You only have to spend five minutes watching the guys to know we are switched on for the game."

"We have been preparing for this since the recovery after the win over Beijing so we can't wait to get out there and come away with three points."

Club CEO John Tsatsimus added that the club did not have any problem with any of the Newcastle players but were 'disillusioned' by the stance of the PFA.

"I think it is important to note that the club has no issue with the players, our disillusionment is directly with the PFA," he said.
