Tinkler will bundle himself out. He's done it before and he'll do it again.

I'm not getting my hopes up.

I was asked to review a recent Sports Direct purchase. In my review i asked if they could see if Big Mike could spare a few lazy mill.

Perhaps they took my request seriously and has stitched up a deal with Gallop.

I don't have a 'real job'.
But I do have work to do.

Besides, the Foz couldn't afford my wit.
Consider it a gift.

I want him gone, don't get me wrong. But the bloke is harder to get rid of than I expected.

He's had more come backs than John Farnham

If Tinkler does come back from this it will be the biggest comeback since the offspring of Griff and the virgin from Nazareth

This counting Chickens shit.

Don't tempt fate.

The day will pan out however it does

Fingers crossed it pans out the way we all want but stop celebrating or making statements that will come back to bite us on the arse if Tinkler gets in touch with Gerry Harvey

[Jetmaster]

This slightly reminds of the day Con got sacked - on the foz hitting the f5 key every 30 seconds.

Difference then was we didn't know what was going to happen.

From the telegraph:

Newcastle Jets: Nathan Tinkler puts club into voluntary administration with debts of $2.7 million

NEWCASTLE Jets owner Nathan Tinkler has revealed he has put the financially embattled A-League club into voluntary administration with debts of $2.7 million.

Tinkler says Scottish club Dundee United is ready to step in and buy the Jets for just under $5 million with a sale imminent.

But he claims the FFA may attempt to step in and take back the licence before any sale proceeds.

“I’ve been in negotiations with the FFA over the last few days and wasn’t able to get them to guarantee the licence and I haven’t been willing to pay wages unless they guaranteed that so I’ve put the club into administration just now,”Tinkler said.

“We’ve had an offer in for a couple of weeks from Dundee United. That offer is well in excess of the debts of the club and I’ve asked the administrator to get that sale done and that will see everyone get paid.

“Then, I can move on.

“The only risk to that is if the FFA decide to act in a morally bankrupt manner and take the licence and that presents a whole bunch of other issues.”

It is understood the FFA have also been talking to Dundee United.

The Jets’ financial problems have been threatening to boil over for quite some time and they came to a head late last week when Tinkler failed to pay staff and player wages on time for the third time in four months.

The FFA put an ultimatum to Tinkler on Monday to have the debts paid by Wednesday or risk forfeiting his licence.

Ok wow mmmm ok well. I guess tangerine it is then lol

[Wilso8948]

Sounds to me the fat man is trying desperately to delay the inevitable plus squeeze some cash out before he let's go. What's to say if he gets his way and the FFA gives him time that he won't pull another backflip. I've never seen a fat **** pull so many backflips he'd be doing somersaults

[boz-monaut]

the cosmic ballet goes on

[Jeterpool]

OK, so we're sort of at a point where we were when he handed the licence back a few years ago. So I wonder what that means for player contracts and whether they can test the open market like Perth's players have? Because they still haven't been paid.

Unlike last time, we don't have a core group of players who would really have any love for the club. Who are the older players who are going to support the younger guys, tell them to stick it through? Realistically we want Alivodic, Lee, Mullen, Boogaard to stick around - right?

Yes I would def want those 4 players hanging around!!

[Jeterpool]

His scorched earth policy has had an impact. There's only debt tied to the club. We have little saleable assets...only perhaps the players I mentioned before plus Neville (I want him sticking around too). Obvious problem is, where are we going to get players to make a competitive team if we do that? And the sale of such players isn't going to near covering a $2.7 million bill.
