Insert Name Here aka The Ownership Thread

If Tinks can't come up with a measly 140k to pay NNSW or even the 30k for ray watt, what chance does he have of hiring a legal team to work for him in this prolonged legal battle. It wasn't that long ago that his legal representatives actually joined the list of creditors and refused to do any further work for the bloke.

True but reckon there's not being able to pay and simply not wanting to

My take on this (& I have had some hints from a well placed source)

Tinkler wants his $5 million. He believes Low screwed him (do unto others....... haha). Apparently Dundee were talking less the half that including paying out debts. Tinkler is the nasty kid who, if he can't have things his way will make sure no one else can have it. He will bring things to the edge of destruction in an effort to force the FFA to cough up the other half. Basically, the FFA pays or he slashes and burns to have the FFA come under pressure from sponsors and TV. Palmer has not gone away, he has just gone underground and is busy. Tinkler will ramp up the pain until the FFA pays. He will drag out court action and prolong the agony until he is paid.

As the paper suggested: give the fat fu#k what he wants and get him out of our team

just take it away from him first then have the court case in the background. I prefer to avoid further crash n burn

Hopefully that's what we'll hear during this week.

Rumours rife at Strathfield station yesterday that Mark Rudan is buying the club, and installing himself as Chaiman and manager.

Tinkler would slap an injunction on any action and would continue to run/own the club pending an outcome of the court case which would stretch on for months.

Palmer tried the same and failed but imo his breaches were by far more clear cut, Freedom of Speech for example.

Funnily enough I was having dinner the other night with some people who told me about a local footballing 'identity' putting together a deal with the FFA to take over.
I know the people who told me are well connected to the bloke involved so it sounded legit.
He didn't say how far advanced it was.

I don't know if they are more clear cut. The court respected that FFA has the right to protect the integrity of its own football competition in the case of GCU. I don't see how this situation is any different. How is "Freedom of Speech" any more serious than the circus that is currently going on?

I think in these situations, the participation agreement is stacked in the FFA's favour, precisely because they have tv rights obligations and have an ethical requirement to keep the competition fair and honest. It's in no one's interest for a team to tank like this.

Tinkler is a bully. You don't give in to bullies. If you do, he'll just leverage the power you've given him to extract more pain. Bullies also end up finding out they've got no ground to stand on when they are stood up to.

He can scheme all he wants in the background but it seems when all his scheming is brought before the law he gets smashed.

Wouldn't be Andy Roberts by any chance?
I think the majority of supporters want the whole place cleaned out and start afresh with new management and coaching staff.
We need good football people with smarts and passion like Roberts and David Eland to take up roles in the new era.

100% agree haus.

If the FFA take back the licence, there will be no down time. Even if it is challenged by Tinkler, the courts will allow them to run things as the owner of the competition and as well as being the owner of the licence.

FFa have enough ammo now and as suggested by others would have priority.

What makes you say that?

They may have ammo, but if it winds up in the courts they FFA won't take control of the club until the court hands down a favourable finding. Who knows how long that could drag on for.

@SocStoppageTime: Stealth and #SST will tomorrow reveal which A-League Club is days away from finalising a partnership agreement with a Premier League team

EPL or SPL?

when have they ever dragged out a court case in aleague stopping a team from playing?

We haven't already with Magic?

Not saying they will stop us playing, that's not going to happen, but until any case is resolved Tinkler will be in charge.

Precisely right.

FFA Strip licence from Tinkler
Tinkler takes out an injunction to stop it happening
Tinkler can then continue his scorched earth policy as he will still be in charge.

Tinkler is free to do this until the court says otherwise or the FFA and him reach an agreement to drop court action.
