Expect Con to be named CEO.
Expect Con to be named CEO.
I reckon he's just had a massive Friday night on tha piss
1. We might get those training balls now.
2. "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. In a corporate sense it's a lot better to be involved in soccer than rugby league."
Best quote in club history, besides "we done it"
3. Tinks in town while the Asian money is in the country..... He's still selling, selling assets is how he made his money isn't it?

Something very strange that doesnt sit well about this whole week, dundee saying they are very interested still, rm and rb simultaneously "resigning" and now this... I dont think this is the end of this situation of uncertainty, but hey if the big man truly has had a change of heart and is going to throw money into our club and give the team the things it needs than so be it, but I wont be holding my breath just yet
How as an owner do you go from not paying bills for the Internet (and presumably a bucketload of other bills) one day, to being super keen and hands on the next.Originally Posted by MFKS
Screams to me of not wanting to pay someone else to be Chairman. Will be interesting to see if he is genuine with his desire to have us do well.
Maybe he has finally realised he has run the club into the ground and it won't sell until it is operating smoothly on and off the pitch.
The timing now makes it look like Middleby and Baartz were pushed but allowed to go in a way that saved face.
Tony sage has something to do with this, surely. My bet is that sage has some scheme brewing and has peaked tinks interests.
Hopefully we see some change in stubbins but not holding my breath.
I am thinking we may be seeing the Clive Palmer I am gonna piss the FFA off to get out of the HAL plan Mk2
Tinks as chairman making bizarre decisions
Crowd caps
Picking yoof team
Even has Mitch Cooper on the books to make captain
If the big man starts his own political party it is on
Something about this does not sit right and I will be amazed if Tinks becomes the benefactor we wanted and gets this club running properly.
Be though an absolute ****ing hoot and one of the best trolls of all time if the big man funds the club adequately and makes great appointments and gets us reaching our potential all the while why the big man is taking potshots at the dog molesters.
Can't see it happening though
I saw this and immediately thought of the Simpsons episode where burns and Smithers run the power plant by themselves
He's a cunning bloke and does everything for a reason. I wonder what's going on

We are gonna need one hell of a CEO
With his knowledge of football and knowing his history. This won't end well.
He'll still try and dispose of us or sell us, men don't change like that without a catalyst and Tinks as greedy and self-centred as he appears in the media surely couldn't have changed
He lost me at "Soccer"
Yep. If he was serious he'd know better

The bloke is a business man. He over estimated what people would buy, so now he's getting the better homes and gardens crew in to give the club a make over, maybe add a patio and slap a few extra dollars on the price tag.
He's serious about making the club sellable, that works for me if it gets us sailing right again. I don't expect the premiership or grand final but playing competitively would do nicely
IMO he is simply reacting to the middlebynandnbaartz resignations. He wants to keep the club so he can sell it. But there will be clauses in the license agreement that gives the FFA the power to strip him of the license if the jets can't field a competitive team or they don't fill all the prescribed organisational positions. So he has just said that he will be the chairman himself and will get some monkey in as CEO to improve his legal position. The rest is bravado.
Not buying the whole he is gonna bend his back and put in angle to get the club up to a standard he can get a sale done at the correct price he wants.
If he wants to sell in the future to get the money he wants the only way he can do that is to spend money.
Reality is HAL Clubs are costing 1-2 million a season to run anyway. Add in the fact we are in such a hole there is no way out for him other than to spend to buy us out of our hole.
Spending on coaches and admin staff and players is gonna be required to get us back on an even keel. There is no way around that. Phil Stubbins is no miracle worker from what we have seen so far and ain't even getting the best out of what he has now. If things don't change with better resources players staff etc it is not naïve but stupid beyond belief to believe we will turn things around with the status quo which lets remember has diminished considerably in the last 6 months.
Considering his past record and the level of disgust at his business practices there is no chance in hell of the corporate world coming on board with sponsorship etc to ease the burdens anytime soon unless onfield performance improves out of sight.
I just do not see how he could actually be legitimately looking to rebuild the club to only cut and run in the immeadiate future. Best case scenario for him is it is gonna take him 12 months to get us sellable. This season is gone so his only hope is to rebuild us in the next pre season. Sure he can sign players of note quality staff etc which costs money but lets remember if he doesn't his costs are gonna increase as our fed up members will drop off and his revenue will be reduce and his outgoings to fund the club will increase.
Why in ****sname would he want to put in all the extra time effort and money to try to get us to a level where we are re sellable to make his $5million price tag??
It will probably end up costing him more to do it and there is no guarantee it will even work.
If he wanted to sell seriously he would take Dundee Utd's offer or negotiate a better deal there cut his losses and walk away.
No way in the world he is serious on tarting us up with the intention of sale.
He may be doing the backflip he is claiming and is gonna sort it out and get us right and cost himself shitloads of money in the meantime but there is no way he is doing it for a sale just to reach what he views the club as worth on the open market.
The reasons behind this are one of two things
Tinks is genuine and is planning on sticking around
Tinks is moving pawns into place for war with the FFA
I do also find the timing of his announcement bizarre in that it hit the press/public at a time the Socceroos are playing and the Asian Cup had just started. Not like he has done stunts before where the timing has been quite dubious and hurtful to the code
Valid points member.
Key questions I guess we will get answered in due time.
Is he seriously changing and in for the long haul?
Is there anyone left willing to have him as their employer?
Is there any businesses/businessmen left willing to invest with tinks? Asia maybe?
Are we going to be able to attract players of any note if tinks puts up decent coin?
If he is taking this on seriously, will tinks ever be trusted again?
Will troy palmer be the CEO?
How long until tinks changes his mind again?
Is tinks still vastly wealthy?
Tinks is wealthy make no mistake about that he has hid it well and he just doesn't have a great cash flow but he still has the coin. Most of his issues have been cash flow related and he has done well to survive and consolidate in the last 2 years when many a man would succumb
If he is genuine there is no reason we can't get quality players. After all they are mercenaries anyway.
Throw enough cash at a quality player and he will come. Throw enough cash at a quality coach and they will come. Sign one quality player or appoint a quality coach and then all players will want in.
Will Tinks be trusted?? Quite frankly the bloke goes out and signs quality like say Tim Cahill or a Steve Gerrard and throws his cash seriously behind the club and makes signings with an intent to put the HAL on note that Newy is back and we mean ****ing business I can guarantee you every half arsed Newy fan on the planet is on board. Make no mistake about that.
Some will continue to doubt him from gritted teeth but we fans are a fickle bunch and will forgive and forget quite quickly if the good times return or we are showing serious intent to get the good times back.
If he don't show serious intent he is gonna be pushing shit up a hill though as the sentiment towards him is already low and plodding along half arsed will only draw more disgust
Whether he is serious is a good question. We will soon find out in coming weeks.
My personal opinion is no. He is setting up for war with the FFA. I feel he feels after shopping the club around the interest isn't there and his best option is to get the FFA to pay him off. I am thinking our club is being stripped bare to be a basketcase all the while Tinks is doing everything he has to within his licence agreement with the FFA so they can not touch him/strip him of the club legally. That being said his actions will no doubt be pissing people off and I feel his intention is to piss people off enough that the FFA has to bite the bullet and say here is 3 million now we want the club back and you to **** off.
Tinks get his money and the FFA get the club back to start again and we fans in the meantime are being screwed and our dreams and aspirations for our football club are being used as pawns once again
Ahahahaha. You can't be a jets fan if you have dreams and aspirations. The club crushed mine long ago.
Tend to agree with the member here on this issue.
I thnk this is nothing more than Tinkler making himself more visible and in the face of the FFA to embarress them into some form of action.
No way did this bloke just have some sort of epiphany and fall in love with the club.
Lol.
So now the club need to spend money?
A few weeks back you were claiming finances weren't a reason we were struggling.
