Cheering for 1000s of people being made unemployed. Good attitude
Liquidators of Nathan Tinklers Mulsanne Resources have applied to examine the former billionnaire and three associates in the NSW Supreme Court.
Junior coal explorer Blackwood Corporation, which last November succeeded in appointing liquidators Ferrier Hodgson to wind up Mulsanne over a $28.4 million debt, told the stock exchange this morning that it had applied to the Supreme Court to issue public examination summonses on Mr Tinkler, fellow directors Troy Palmer and Matthew Keen and former company secretary Aimee Hyde. The application was filed on Monday.
Mulsanne agreed last July to take up 95 million shares in a Blackwood placement at 30 cents a share - then a 50 per cent premium to the prevailing share price - to fund Blackwood's exploration campaign. The share placement would have given Mr Tinkler a 34 per cent stake in Blackwood. But Blackwood shares slumped last year and the companys shares last traded at 12 cents.
Mulsanne did not go ahead with the placement and Blackwood applied for the company to be wound up. Ferrier Hodgsons report on the affairs of Mulsanne, which has been filed with the corporate regulator, shows the shelf company has no assets and concludes further investigation is required including into the possibility of insolvent trading.
The directors of a company found to have engaged in insolvent trading can become personally liable for the company's debts and can face criminal charges and jail if they are found to have acted dishonestly.
Tinks might Gids to start dealing again to keep the club going.
It's really sad how many of you are revelling in potential hardship for our club. I would usually only expect it from the Canberra nonces.
What is it about our club having difficulties that would make you all so excited? Is it just so you can be right on the internet? lol. I implore you to take a gander at who you'd be lauding it over, even if you are right this instance. You're not exactly gonna grow a 50 inch e-penis.
I can't speak for any other Knights supporters apart from myself... but the vast, vast majority that I know (real life and the forums) believe that Tinkler may or may not be in a good deal of strife. I think it's naive to take newspaper talk as anything more than slightly-educated speculation. We'll leave that in his chubby hands, to be honest... it only affects us superficially.That's an amazing attitude, me personally would never wish ill on any club.
I'm just stunned that many so called fans are defending the guy to the hilt as some sort of all conquering hero and refusing to accept that there may be some issues.
F*ck off - you have been defending him like he's a saint!!!!!!Could you find a post where I mentioned not paying people is accepted normal business practice?
I want everyone to be paid employees and creditors.
It seems the only people crowing about the potential hardship for the Knights are the Tinkler lovers here making light of the situation. I have had a great respect for the Knights since the SL war, and the only ill I would ever wish on them would be to lose a GF to Parra!It's really sad how many of you are revelling in potential hardship for our club. I would usually only expect it from the Canberra nonces.

Exactly how I feel. Its like there are no Knights supporters here any more, just Tinkler supporters. Wierd!That's an amazing attitude, me personally would never wish ill on any club.

Having that attitude is extending a courtesy to Tinkler that coaches and players dont get. Some examples -I can't speak for any other Knights supporters apart from myself... but the vast, vast majority that I know (real life and the forums) believe that Tinkler may or may not be in a good deal of strife.

I wouldn't choose to defend his business practices, regardless. I do understand the will to defend the man that just pulled us out of a quagmire of debt and total stagnation, though. I understand it's hard to realise as an outsider looking in - to know the change he has affected in such a quick amount of time. In a 12 month period our crowds have soared, our membership has gone from amongst the worst in the comp to one of the strongest member bases of any club. Our match day experience is leagues ahead of where it was (which is REALLY sad, since they're not doing anything particularly flash, even now). He's given as Wayne Bennett... Darius Boyd... I mean the list just goes on, and on, and on. Regardless of his intent AND his business practices, why should we Knights fans not be able to point to all these good deeds and say "well, look, this bloke did alright by us"? I totally understand where the very few Knights fans defending him are coming from - although I don't try to defend the indefensible myself... I do believe he has earned a bit of discretion, tolerance and benefit of doubt from Knights fans. It's misguided defense, but it's rational and understandable... you'd be defending any rich guy that did the same for your club - as would the thousands of other hypocrites. You'd be right to do so.
