If this has any basis in fact and who knows, but it might make Wests get a little more active.
They just seem to have fallen off the radar.
The reality is that the NRL will sell the club to whomever they wish and the successful bidder will have the deepest pockets.
I actually imagine they will give it to the people with proven business skills (which is only SOMETHINGS the person with the biggest bank account).
It wouldnt matter if they personally make $50k a year or $10mil, ideally they shouldnt be putting ANY of their own money in. You want the people that can create independent revenue (sponsors, membership, assets, ect).
That was the problem with Tinks; he made his money in stocks. I doubt he had ever set up a business himself, just backed the right people to do it for him. Hell, he couldnt even find a major sponsor in the 3 years he was in control!!!
Compare that to Russel Crowe, who hasnt put money into Souths for a few years now, because his business model has them at the point that they can fund themselves.
Thats why id have faith in this guy; his Wiki page says he's got a PHD, was a director of a faculty at an English University and he founded his own multi-million dollar business. That the kind of resume Tinks needed but didnt have....
