* Jets lose licence over unpaid wages
* FFA-owned club in Newcastle to replace them (updates with revoking of licence)
SYDNEY, May 20 (Reuters) - Football Federation Australia (FFA) terminated the A-League licence held by the owners of the Newcastle Jets with immediate effect on Wednesday after the club went into voluntary administration.
The FFA said the licence would go to a new club in the port city which would be "owned and controlled" by the governing body and compete in the A-League.
Nathan Tinkler, who owned the Jets through the Hunter Sports Group (HSG), had earlier placed the club in voluntary administration with debts of A$2.
