Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3465464, member: 8215"] It's all a myth perpetuated by people with short memories. Tinkler fucked the Knights. When you hear about what happened it's no wonder the club fell over. IIRC players were paid late, Tinkler would threaten to not pay players if they didn't improve. He even got the community off-side by not paying his bills, which reflected badly on the club. He fucked with the roster, recruited Snowden without Bennett's consultation etc. I also remember Tinkler was hailed as a Crowe-like saviour, at least one guy had the foresight to write in to the ownership deal that they could terminate it by buying it back for $1... And yeah, I remember people, definitely here (not just out there on the street) were pumped for a big year, we had a lot of the younger players maturing and some of the best players were hitting their peak. There was definitely a lot of enthusiasm. After a couple of years with Seibold all of a sudden the revisionists claimed that he'd been given a dud roster, that Bennett had once again tanked a club, it was hilarious. [/QUOTE]
