LOL when his moving to singapore and cant pay small debts....like tradies...or feed horses

you know its a matter of time... before it collapses...

I feel sorry for the knights fans.... all of them.

Except you. Now which club is a "sinking ship" Kmav?

Karma.

/Apologies to genuine Knights fans.

So assuming Tinks empire does in fact fall over, does the club revert back to the members, or can the Fat Man sell it off? If it reverts back to the members and they get their $20m, its win/win.

cool, time to get the club back.

all going to plan, we should be at least $15mill ahead of where we were at 18 months ago.

I feel extremely bad about the Jets, though. They don't have a plan B.

He can't sell it for another 9 years. The members club will get a buy-back option at a price of $1 during the same process that will unlock the bank guarantee.

The NRL wouldn't let the Knights fall over anyway I would think. A good time to use some of the funds from the new TV deal.

Scary. I hope for the Knights sake that bank guarantee has no strings attached.

And of course the big issue is Bennett. He is signed to HSG. If HSG goes under I doubt the club can afford to pay him well into 7 figures.

Look for the Roosters, Dragons, Titans and Raiders to be circling.

Apart from the fact that Bennett isn't contracted to the Knights directly and I would be interested to see if they could afford him without the Fat Man.

Kmav isn't a Knights fan. No genuine Knights fan would consider this to be a laughing matter.


its funny....cause so obvious it was all collapsing.... and he was doing a skase

moving overseas cant pay any debts/wages

yet some people think it was all okay

I hope this all works out ok for the Knights and Jets fans. Terrible news for everyone.

He is going to go down as one of the worst if this trend continues

I was just thinking the same thing. But the knights would be the only coaching vacancy for 2013 so I can see him taking a paycut this season to coach Newcastle. 2014 he'll take someones money though i think.
