Ralphie link said:The Tinkler deal included him clearing their debts of $3-$4 million and a guarantee to pick up any income shortfall to ensure their annual income remains above $10 million. He showed his intentions in relation to player recruitment with Snowden & Idris. He was the real deal.
Don't forget that is a similar deal that Max paid to buy the Mighty Eagles.
I think the Newcastle Board were nuts to let him get away.
