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
