Are the ST in touch with every group bidding?

And, to apg100 directly, do yourself a favour, drop that slogan - it may sound good, but has too much connection to those who have got us in this position!

Thanks for this, I'm glad that a potential new owner of WW gets your seal of approval,

Your assessment of the situation will help me and may other sleep easier tonight

No seriously………….

Not yet - no-one else has come out publicly yet.

Disagree about the slogan - it is truer now than it ever was!

So true TRB






=#0000FFThis is Wakefield. Together we are Stronger!

the slogan works if there's a passion for the club, once we get the new owners in place and get moving we will become a stronger club no doubt about it

I like the slogan and i think that it rings true.

do yourself a favour keep your money in foreign high interest accounts that will guarantee a return, if you end up with the burden of bank rolling WTW for the next god knows how many seasons you will rue the day you made this mad decision. you have the financial future of your family to consider!!!

there never has been the interest within Wakefield to support any optimism for real growth. the club will always retain it's core 3500 supporters but that is it maybe +/- 15% but i would not be looking at this as a solid foundation to base a creative business plan on, unless you know 5,000 people who are willing to turn up and pay each home game as they are your mates?

unless you have 5-10mil of surplus money which you have written off and are willing to lose on the basis you are a passionate fan then i think you need your head testing.if nothing else, the RFL want the likes of WTW, Cas, etc replaced by designer teams based in the south of France, Ireland, Scotland etc etc your efforts in the end will be wasted, no matter how good the intentions are. I trust you have a shrude financial advisor, i'd be interested to know what his thoughts are with regards to the potential take over of WTW and their likely revenue streams.

I sense a bitter cas fan.

Hi Cas fan.

What a nob you are!!!

Cant this idiot be just banned?

deary me,our man in Dubai is obviously not a real RL fan it seems ! best you stay there mate !

Im not sure this can be the case, As the supporter trust is not formed yet, has no recognised committee and as such no one has a mandate to back any bid.

I'm pretty sure the supporters trust steering group would not break ranks and decide which bid they were backing, without understanding all bids, bidders and their intentions. Gone is the era of one or two fans wanting to rush to the top table alienating other fans, instead I'm sure the trust will be electing a independent committee that works with the Club in a transparent way.

In fact if these were indeed members of the supporters trust they would have made a statement of support on their site and posted anything they had to say in support on the forum and not in private messages but for the reasons stated above this will not be happing yet, or until they are ratified and speaking with a the consent of the whole group.

Your are right, they are indeed valuable, as are you to them.

Doesn't it get tiresome being tiresome?

For clarity:

2 members of the working party involved in establishing the Trust have indeed made approaches towards Mr Glover now that he has gone public in his effort to secure the club.

Offers of support and assistance have been made as well as opening the line of communication in order to represent the supporters views in any re-formed organisation - as would be the case with any of the bidders once confirmed.

This does not represent any form of favouritism and is not intended to be taken as an endorsement of Mr Glover's bid over anyone elses. We would however be remiss if we were not to engage in dialogue with someone who may well be the new owner of the club within the next 10 days.

We wish Mr Glover all the best with his bid whilst also welcoming dialogue with any of the other interest parties.

please feel free to tell me which points you don't agree with!!!

and why is that? the prospect of one man standing to lose all he has ever earnt on the basis someone's spare time hobby can remain......ok becasue it's in the interest of the whole RL community, get a grip. i would also welcome your response identifying where i am wrong!!

The fact it's just all your opinion springs to mind.

I'm sure your really looking out for the guy, your comment just stinks of exactly what it is, a Cas fan trying to cause trouble.So what your saying is, even if we get the stadium sorted out and we get some better players in the club and the club starts to have a exciting future, it won't matter because no fans will come, have word with yourself.

Mr Glover has already stated nothing on RLfans will persuade him from attempting to purchase the club. Hourigan i feel you're wasting your time. Unfortunately you will have to accept that there are people out there who want to make a difference to Wakefield Trinity, it's fans and the community it supports. Just as we accept that people love Castleford and want to make them into a great club.

would you throw money at WTW?? seriously, i would not put my money into Cas as ther eis NO money to be made in RL, at best you break even, so hence why i say he must have tones of money he can afford to lose otherwise why do it!! the fact WTW have historically been poorly supported and had poor revenue doesnt that tell the average person that in all probability nothign much will change, nothing like backing a flogged horse, the guy must be mental!!!

If I had the spare money ,yes course I would,just like the other owners, you don't come in to make money, you come in for the challenge and to hopefully create a great team that makes fans happy. I don't think it's hard to understand under the right circumstances and the fans will return and new ones will come, it's been poorly supported because it's suffered from bad management and under investment, all you have to do is look at a few other clubs around.

it would be quicker for me to read 'War & Peace' !

i'm not a Wakey fan (or Cas),far from it but I am a RL fan and I welcome anyone willing enough (or stupid enough ?) to want to invest his or her hard earned cash in any club - if this guy fails then so be it ! why should we,the fans worry ? there's always another potential investor around the corner hopefully.That's business baby !
At this moment in time someone is prepared to take on a venture that seems to have been badly managed over the years but maybe,just maybe this guy can turn it around.I don't think he is stupid or naiive to think it will be easy and so must have a solid business plan in mind. Lets' hope so for the sake of Wakey and all fellow RL clubs,pro or otherwise.
If you are a true RL fan you will embrace this plan with optimism ! He may well fail but the fans need to get behind him to save their club to give him at least a fighting chance.

'He Who Dares Rodders !' and all that !

And hes a complete nob!!!
