    Tinkler proposal back on (take 3)

    I have little time for Maughan since his calls for moving to Super League, and the hilarity of whatever this "Big time" is that he goes on and on about. Put it in writing, or don't bother. People's word means squat in business.

    Tinkler proposal back on (take 3)

    No phone call here, but I did get an email last night. Upon enquiry TSG said the Knights had given them all voting member's personal contact details. Going against the Knights own privacy policy of not supplying info to third parties.

    Tinkler proposal back on (take 3)

    So where is this change in the proposal? The only hint I've got from the proposal itself is that if we're sold (not moved, btw) HVSG have to buy out Newco. I have seen no mention of existence beyond the 10 years other than article 2.4 of the overview. The Knights lawyer (name escapes me) at...

    Tinkler proposal back on (take 3)

    It's only protected for 10 years, Duckie. After that, the supporters club is wound up and the constitution is disolved as TSG will own it all. The only obstruction for moving us at that point would be the NRL lobbying against it, and they'll go wherever the grass is greener anyway. That's why...

    Thanks Tinks

    No-one should be surprised Jodes is upset we weren't sold to a Queensland organisation.... Can't wait to vote that bitch out.

    Patron's Trust

    $6 mill pledged to the Trust already according to Tew. If that's put to the members on Monday there should be no question what the best option for a vote was. Trust capped at $8 mill per year for 4 years only. Where does the money come from? It's a tax pit for people to dump money into a...

    Nathan Tinkler withdraws Knights offer

    I'd be very surprised if they even get 100 voting members to The Mark.

    The Tinkler thread

    Some people are just blinded by dollar signs... Truth is he wanted everyone to think how awful it all is now so he can be the hero and save us all. He'll probably even soap drama it all and fly in at the last minute to save the day with a sensible solution to everything and make it look like...

    The Tinkler thread

    I'm not sure what the funniest thing of the offer is. The offer for control for 2 years is obviously the biggest joke, but holding a gun to everyone's head and saying "do it by Monday!!!" when he takes over more than 13 months away just makes him look like a fool. Still, there'll be people...

    The Tinkler thread

    And then reality of Tinkler's "offer" hits home... http://www.newcastleknights.com.au/?s=article-display&id=33666 It's good that we're 'confident' of a deal, but the reality is Tinks is obviously not offering as much as he's willing to tell everyone about.

    Tinkler Group presents new privatisation offer

    The fact that there's no guarentee we won't be packed up and moved to the central coast at the end of the year without a member's vote is probably my biggest concern. Little things like that I guess. So yes, a meagre existence would be preferable to that. That's not to say Burro and Tew won't...

    rate Corey Paterson

    8, but would be an auto 9 if he'd decked Slater.

    Tinkler Group presents new privatisation offer

    Ha. Yeah, those threats of bankruptcy and doom have been around pre-Johns era, mate. They don't scare me.

    Tinkler Group presents new privatisation offer

    He's from Port originally, isn't he?

    Tinkler Group presents new privatisation offer

    Well it is a much better deal than the first offer, so well done to Burro and Tew for sticking to their guns despite all the hostility in the media to rush it all through. I'm leaning towards voting "yes", but i'd at least like to see sometalk about a basic plan beyond the 10 years, and a...

    Apparently we want answers from Houston

    The beat-up has less to do with Houston, and more to do with the Herald's agenda against Burro. They've been hiding the agenda (badly) behind issues they've been digging up for a year now and by doing so, they're able to get some noisy one paragraph responses from people that have no business...

    Should the Knights take over the Jets?

    Con threatened to go public with some BS about being the victim of not paying his bill, so someone called in a favour and told him to pull his head in.

    Should the Knights take over the Jets?

    Yeah they cut the power and sent some hired muscle around to his house to make him wake up to himself for all his "i'll take this to my local member" BS. The threat I remember being told of the situation, was that he could "either have his lines cut, or his throat". He got his credit card out...
