    Media Vs Knights

    I bet he is. You would be too if Tinkler paid massive overs for your Merewether house. :lol:

    I agree which is why I am wondering if he's ever tried to give him a call.

    On a different note, and serious question Macca, but have you ever attempted to pick up the phone to give Tinkler a call?

    All for it. 100% I guess if you try and approach Burro with this, you'll be able to find out first hand for all of the absurd doubters, whether or not Tinkler was fighting a losing battle against the Patrons Model, because clearly this is logical and workable. Get it done MACCA goddamn it.

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    I was impressed when he got the LA Galaxy and David Beckham to Newcastle. Clearly he will spend whatever it takes, its just I guess people are scared.

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    Yep it definitely is unfortunate, but the fact they are doing so says alot about the Knights I reckon. It's never happened before in the past and it rarely happens with any other sports team anywhere, so why do things like that happen against the Knights? Maybe because the Knights do have...

    The purchase price would be spread across the football development in the area, pay off any accumulated losses, go towards upgrading our staff/facilities across the entire region etc etc. Of course I understand that it works in theory but not easily in practice.

    No they weren't, but they should have been the key focus, instead of all these other intangibles that ultimately bought the whole thing crashing down.

    Patron's Trust

    There only had to be 2 major terms apart from a set sales price. 1. That he had to own the team for ( x ) amount of years. ( Preferably something like 10 ) 2. That the Knights remained in Newcastle and playing under the same colours/brand at EAS. If Tinkler then decided to sell on to...

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    Well as you're more than aware, I've been critical of the Knights roster quality and talent levels for the last 3-4 years. I've often said we are mediocre at best, we are middle of the road etc etc. Unfortunately, in the last few years, all the players have done is prove it. Maybe with a...

    No, but usually a price is placed on the value of something, and that price is either met or passed onto someone else prepared to meet it. Pretty simple concept. Not all of the terms and conditions crap that has been attached with this deal all along and all of these requirements to minimum...

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    I just get the feeling that the appeal of Tinkler to fans wasn't his money mate, but the change that might make the club relevant again. No we aren't going to die, but is that enough to appease the fans more than winning and having a team people want to go and support week in week out with...

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    The likely reply from people in here, is she is scum herself. That gets tired. :roll: Taking away the personality issues and any dislike of McKay, its unheard of that someone in her role would be so scathing of ANYTHING. Politicians are usually very, very good diplomats who avoid getting...

    Well mostly, that's all we've been doing all along - speculating.* *Opinions on somethings excluded

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    I agree with you mate, I never said we were going bankrupt or anything anytime soon - but we sure need the help which does understate the overall financial product we have going. That's obvious by the fact help is being sought.

    Nathan Tinkler withdraws Knights offer

    You're right, I couldn't help myself, but I'd be lying to say it didn't cross my mind during today. Speculating isn't helping, so yes, I will back off. We both know my arguments can be like a dog with a bone and I don't want to be influential ,plus I'd hate to feed the MS people more ammo :lol:

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    Unfortunately perception is reality when it comes to these kind of things, which isn't going to help the end result.

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    Of course its not financial. Bearing in mind I am only speculating that they are - doesn't mean I actually think they are - but IF they were, the main reason would simply be to retain the ultimate control of the club and don't like the thought of losing the club. I noticed its been...

    .I want Wayne Bennett, reveals Nathan Tinkler

    I pointed out in another thread mate, that this is only , ONLY because they've cut spending in every possible way. They've got staff members doing the jobs of 2 and 3 people. Does running a business in this way make the product better? There's only one answer to that. Sure the...
