    Is it back down to $5mil now? As someone mentioned earlier, Dundee was first involved in football in Newcastle in 1978 when they played a match against KB United.

    Yeah thompson (dundee utd owner) baulking at $5mil price tag apparently.

    Interesting piece in today's herald about andy Roberts and his partners ties to dundee. Would of be interesting for him visiting the ground and everything in his jets gear had the story broke before or while he was over there.

    The game that KB United played was against Dundee FC not Dundee United.

    I'm not convinced it will happen, however it could still be possible. We're mentioned towards the end.

    I'd like to see it happen because I occasionally look up the dundee united forums (since they became an option) and there is a mariners/dundee fan that blows his stack every time there is an article posted saying a deal could happen. I reckon the way he carries on it would simply be too much for him if we got bought out by dundee utd.

    Don't lie. The Mariners don't have fans who have access to the internet

    Can't be a gypo fan, they don't have electricity there. Must be a Grimsby Town FC Mariners fan.

    The Knights and NRL in general put down. "it's nice to wake up on a Monday morning and not have to worry about who my players have beaten up and done for DUI or whatever"

    Tinkler, ****ing hell. Amazing.

    This is bizarre

    Be ****ing amazed if he actually takes enough of an interest and passionately backs and funds the club. Be an amazing U Turn

    Either that or this is a great troll

    "As of today I have decided to become chairman of the club," revealed Tinkler.

    Tinkler will also oversee the appointment of a new CEO in the coming weeks.

    "I believe in the A-League long-term and it has a special place in hearts of many Australians and we have a pretty good soccer history in Newcastle.

    I know less about soccer than I do men and as a man Phil impresses me
    "Since Phil was appointed I have come to really enjoy the game. He's the first coach who has sought me out to tell me what he is doing, what needs to be fixed, who's playing well and the like.

    And being involved in soccer, it's nice to wake up on a Monday morning and not have to worry about who my players have beaten up and done for DUI or whatever.

    "But, unfortunately for these guys a lot of the decisions they over the years haven't come off. You recruit the best people you think at the time and it may, or may not work.
    "But they had to courage to live by their decisions and they have died by their decisions and full credit to them. Sacked

    "I took on the Jets as a bit of courtesy and charity towards my community on the Hunter but now is the time where I feel I can put my hands on the wheel and appreciate the game, the people involved and what is required."

    Confirming that the 'for sale' signs were now being torn down, Tinkler explained: "There were interested parties out there previously (Scottish outfit Dundee United was one). The process went on for about six months and as our performances on the field fizzled, so did the offers."
    Still calls it sokkah & believes in the Aleague

    So between the lines Tinks realises he cant sell the club until he removes most of the current regime, keeps someone who he can trust & gets the team winning again all encasulated by seeming like a nice sensitive local guy. Well done Nathan
