I am glad the newcastle board had the backbone to resist tinkler on this occasion. The telegraph will rant about their stupidity but tinklers tactics of using the media to pressure the knights into a decision before they had due time to consider the deal was disgraceful. If he comes back with a proper comprehensive deal covering key areas like junior funds etc. then they should accept it, but it was the right decision to let him walk for the moment.

I expect Snowden to sign with Cronulla now. Big week for them to, the members will more than likely approve the development of some club land into residential and commercial lots to secure their long term financial future

tinkler still wants the club so i guess hes waiting for knights members to boot out the current board

from what the media are saying i think the current board arent asking for a lot, russel crowe gave similar guaranatees at souths

and if his real offer isnt $100 million then he seems a little duplicitious
having said that hes rich, can afford to fund them and is a proven success at life

hes worth over $600 million at an age of 34!

Tinkler's very odd. He tapped Kade Snowdon about joining the Knights. And in the end he didn't even get control of the club.

Would you trust this man though? He's tapped at least one player before he even had control of the club he wanted him to join. That is bad form IMO.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to believe a word Tinkler says. Whatever his true intentions, he is playing games to get there.
