Tinkler Pulls Out - NBN News reporting

Can't wait to hear what Burro has to say about this. He'd want to be very careful in what he does say.

There will be no Sir Wayne or Snowden now.

Have you been following this at all??

His $100 million was a crock...effectively "guaranteeing" less that what the Knights currently earn. And only guaranteeing it for two years (not 10).

Read the press release put out by the club yesterday.

And now, since the Knights wouldn't accept his "offer", he throws a big hissy fit?

**** off to Jenny Craig Tinkler
 
Members need to see the latest Documents/Offer from the Tinkler group. I think the first offer was sent to the Herald by Tinkler, do the same now and lets see if changes have been made, and and whos really doing the stuffing around!

Yeah why wait to hear the facts when you blame the current establishment without knowing the full story. Facts have no place in this matter.

I can multitask.

But honestly, everyone think to themselves how this preseason has progressed.

There has been an air of optimism with everything to do with the club, there was hope for a brighter future.

All this, without even putting pen to paper. Even without knowing the intricacies of the deal, we supporters knew this was the greatest thing to ever happen to us. And on the plus side, it's not some crazy rich fool investing in a team he has no real concern for - if his empire started to crumble, we could half expect Tinkler to shield the Knights with his own larger than life waist line from the falling debris.

But yes, with calls for the headhunt of the board, should also come calls for the release of any and all documentation that has been refused, to make a clean comparison to the documents delivered to the Herald.
 
This club is f*cking doomed. Some heads need to roll, Burraston will be a very lucky man to have a job soon.
 
Didnt we have another bidder who wanted to buy the club aswell ?? I bet if we started to talk to them again Tinkler would come running back
 
So when will the sharks be calling another press release about Snowden signing with them?
and Sir Wayne will be announcing his plans soon.

Tinkler has been sounding like a spoilt brat of late (in the media) if he was the one to call Snowden directly then it shows he has no respect for the current administration by under-mining them and making offers without talking to the coaching staff....unless he has Bennett already locked in and if he does then he has taken a huge gamble, maybe that was why he wanted to own the club asap.

This wouldn't surprise me as a tactic to get the knights board to panic and call the members meeting straight away to vote, he was desperate to own the team by the start of the season but these things take time.

I bloody hope this is a tactic. He is a very smart man if so, if not though, he seems to me like a big rich spoilt brat that's throwing a tantrum coz he isn't getting his way. If the only way to get Tinkler back on board is to get rid of the current board, then so be it. We need Tinkler.
 
this is the worst news . The club and the supporters had every thing to look forward to . Now our club is in serious financial trouble
 
The only thing guaranteed was the clearing of the debt, as well as the $500k loan we will have to pay back asap.
It should be an interesting press conference and I don't think I am going to say anything or blame anyone before I hear what the club would have to say. I thought the issues they bought up on their site were last night were pretty fair go and if Tinkler decides he can't wait a bloody few hours for the board to get some clarification that's his problem.
Sharks press conference will probably mean Snowden has re-signed, likely, but might not if the vote of confidence happens

Exactly, everyone's hopes have been riding on this. If he is genuinely walking away, i'll be surprised if the Knights are still in their current form in 4 years. We might have to merge, relocate or go defunct altogether! :fist:

Well according to the latest statement by the Knights Tinkler wasn't keen on junior development and had the ability to sell the club to whoever he wanted not to mention the $100m crock as already been stated. I don't know how I feel about this but that Tinkler always gave me bad feelings, I didn't trust him one bit & he didnt get his way so he's gone off sulking. :rolleyes:

The league needs a team in Newcastle.
 
Anyone know if the NRL is still offering that lump sum of cash for a move to the central coast? wonder if we can get half of that to play half our games there and half in newcastle.
Seems to work for the dragons.
We might be needing it soon if Tinkler has done a runner and this isn't a tactic.
Just wait for the Heralds article tomorrow showing the hate we've become used to from them.
