Welcome indeed Mr Glover ..... I would like to think that I am one of the realists on here, and know that there are still some difficult times ahead, but at least there ARE times ahead, rather than just red, white and blue tinted memories. I have been impressed with your marketing of both yourself and your bid, as have a lot of other people (How many people outside the inner circle at BV, had heard of you this time last month ??????...not many - me included), but if you continue to promote the club in the same way, then you will win back many of our armchair supporters, several of which have posted on this thread....WELCOME BACK PEOPLE, THE WAKEFIELD ROLLERCOASTER IS BACK ON TRACK !!!!!!!!!

I have just read my above post and can't believe that I have mentioned "WAKEFIELD" and "MARKETING" in the same thread

Well usually that's exactly what it means.

Nope, just astounded by your unique combination of overbearing arrogance and relentless misery; it must be a laugh a minute round your house.

yeah, relying on preconceptions... it's a handy timesaving way to avoid actually thinking about a subject.

If you can't see that there are questions to be asked, without trying to stir it, and that anyone who does have some questions to ask is somehow just trying to do your club down, then carry on...

Are you talking to me?

If so, Starbug didn't ask a question did he? In true Starbug style, he made a post asking our new owner to PM him so they could have a conversation; pure lunacy.

Do you have questions? Feel free to ask them.

That's the key words and I think most people on here, can spot those with genuine questions, rather than those here to stir, I'm not saying your one or the other, but there's quite a few Cas and other supporters do come here to stir.

Welcome aboard Mr Glover. Whilst I understand that we may not get the scrum half and two props we need instantly, the only thing I would like from our new owner is honesty. No need to tell us everything that happens, just truthful statements when you feel necessary.

The best thing about the takeover is that from 17.00 today we will be able to talk about rugby!

hells teeth... I asked some genuine questions, Khlav & RDM took the time to try to answer it as they both saw it and I said thank you... (you may note that this is probably not the behaviour of a stirrer)

whereas others go "oooh, you're a cas fan... you're just stirring it"
and when you point out that that is not the case, their defence is "well other cas fans are like that" so they just assume...
Stephen Griffiths went to QEGS, but I don't assume everyone in Wakey is a serial killer

Bog off & go on the cas forum ( if it's still going , presume it's been shut down through lack of interest - the wakey forum seems to be the only one anyone goes on anymore

stop whinging ! stirring goes on everywhere,on every forum between most clubs - it's what keeps the threads & posts interesting,especially out of season.

Thanks Mr Glover. If Mr Parkin really wanted us he would have pulled out would he. Mr Glover didn't so we should be grateful and this guy is a millionaire so its a good thing. Anyone would be a step up from Ted !!!

Who's whinging and where did I whinge, just pointed something out to someone? Thanks for that gem of information.Obviously you haven't read much of the Wakey forum last few days, not your usual RL banter to say the least.

How do you know Mr Parkin wont still come on board, Mr Glover has made an offer for the club and its been accepted.

Steve Parkin has spent nothing but is interested so could be an investor. Its not all about money neither, its about structure processes and credibility, something I think we saw decline over a long period. I hope listening to Mr Glover on the radio that he does what ist says on his tin.

There may also be other people that Mr Glover can now attract to invest.

If that's the case then surely the RFL can't give us more than a 4 point deduction.

He dosen't, no reason why SP won't be involved at some stage in the future at some level, he may be interested in sponsorship or offering some help to the club.

Well they better be quick, these deals can't last forever...

Only the ones that get caught, Clarice!!

Somewhat OT, but I went to school with him, pre-QEGS.

lived on the same street but remember very little about him.

I'm confused

Wakefield Express site says deal fallen through

and YEP site says deal agreed only in principle...

quote...

[iIn a statement released today the administrators said: “We are talking to interested parties about taking over the club. The club will be playing its opening match of the season against Castleford at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff tomorrow, and we would hope that a successful sale of the club will be concluded in the near future.

“We will be meeting with the Rugby Football League on Monday to discuss the future of the club and any parties interested in acquiring the club should contact my office.”[/i

and.... [i"Newly-appointed administrators confirmed to the YEP that they'd "agreed a sale in principle, but it's (the club) not sold."[/i

WTF is going on???

Don't panic Andy!

That refers to Parkin pulling out ... the 'agreed in principle' is that it was too late Friday afternoon to deal with paperwork etc.. at RFL as most of 'em had headed off for Cardiff.
Andrew Glover has already been 'vetted' and deemed to be a suitable person to own the Club by the 'powers that be' but it needs to be formally written and agreed etc..

The one in the WE is when the Parkin deal fell through on the 11th, if you read down it talks of the Glover deal. NO worries mate.
