I can't see it getting 75% without sweeteners, but i think Tinkler's business advisers will have a junior proposal or something up their sleeve for the meeting.
On paper, it isn't a great deal still. It is only a great deal if you think Tinkler will do all he needs to do to make the team successful.
If you were buying a house you would want everything in writing before doing the deal, and would be an idiot if you didn't get it - and I think more than 25% of our members will not sign up on a hope and a prayer, even though i would (but i haven't got a vote).
how do you figure it's not a good deal? you won't find another deal on the planet that will guarentee the clubs income increases by $3mill per year. if that is, in fact, the deal, then it is a very good one and would value our club amongst the most valuable in the NRL.
an article already stated somewhere that he is chucking in a $300k sweetener for the Real NRL per year... on top of junior development commitments within the Knights own system i would assume.
the deal was always a good deal if Tinkler put it on paper. that hasn't changed in the past month or so.if the deal is right, then i hope it goes through.
i re-iterate for what seems to be the hundred billionth time in the past week or so - if the deal is as Tinkler says it is, then it is an excellent deal and should be voted through for the sake of the future prosperity of the club. if the deal is yet another furphy, then he can stick it in his tremendous, gaping arsehole. i don't see how anyone could say that a deal that should see the knights roughly $32.5 million dollars better off over the next 10 years is a bad one - and yes... these are the true maths of the deal, not fake figures. that is exactly what he has promised in concept. it's a great deal. Souths went for 1/10th of that. the Titans 1/2 of that.
if the board supports this deal, things are as they should be on paper, and the members don't pass it, i will be
extremely disappointed.
