The FFA would keep running the Jets if Tinkler departs the scene to maintain a 10 team comp. New TV money from next season would mean the FFA only needs to direct about 15% of it to the Jets to keep them afloat.

The knights fans have already developed a back up plan, maybe it's about time the jets think about one. It'll be a real shame if the shit really hits the fan, tinkler has done a lot of good for both clubs.
With the ability to continue to operate for 12+ months independently, and another set of backers with another proposal, the Knights were in a completely different negotiating position to the Jets. It was less about the Jets not having foresight, and more about them already being on the ropes and having to accept pretty much whatever terms Tinkler offered.Tinkler has been a god-send for both clubs, really grown both brands. To grow the Jets brand to what it is today in Newcastle has been remarkable and to take a strong Newcastle brand as the Knights and grow it to what it is now outside of the area is amazing. Unfortunate it seems the Jets didn't seem to think about the worse case scenario under the proposal to buy the club.
There is a huge difference between tax evasion and debt dodging.Hopefully Tinkler is going to prison for massive tax evasion.
0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of that happening.
Looks like it's Glory's turn to have a questionable future this week. Feds and Ato raided the office of Glory and a bunch of others owned by Tony Sage in an ongoing investigation over taxes. Ruh roh...
I hope this is when the FFA realise private ownership doesn't really work. Having one bloke being responsible for an entire organisation is insane. They have put their fingers in their eyes and sang "la la lah" long enough: These men are not reliable; not even particularly through character.Looks like it's Glory's turn to have a questionable future this week.

We have seen one club axed and two owners at risk of losing everything. It's unhealthy for the league. Having clubs and owners back down is tarnishing the sport's image. A lot of people think the game is all politics and naive decision making.
Well not for this competition anyway; it's drawing too many people who are treating these teams like their new toy to play with.I hope this is when the FFA realise private ownership doesn't really work.
