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 !'"
Unfortunately he wont.
Hes a bitter Cas Fan and a complete nob.

fair doo's! i just hope he really does have the cash in his bank and not on paper (big difference) to bank roll WTW! and i hope it works for him
as for being referred to as a nob by some posters, thats a little unfair - based on what exactly, the fact i have said the guy must be mad to want to bank roll WTW with his self made money? i dont think my wife would let me put any money into an RL club unless we won the euros as even 2m quid wouldnt be enough for someone in their 30's to retire on these days!!

| Life is fun isn't it!
If you earn £25k per annum, then you will live quite humbly and drive a small car. If you earn £250k per annum you might live in a big house and drive a Ferrari. If you earn £2.5m per annum - then what?
The point I am making is that it's all well and good working hard to make money, but for what - you get beyond a certain point and security is no longer an issue, so maybe, just maybe, people seek ways in which they can indulge their time and their money into something that gives them some other form of 'return' - I know I would given the chance.
These guys seem to me to fit this description rather well and seem no dfferent from most of the other Chairmen in RL. Just because we have had a Chairman for whom things didn't work out ultimately, doesn't mean that another can't make a go of it - without risking all to do so.
So unlike some on here I don't just see countless amounts of money being thrown down a drain, but rather that these guys see a value in doing what they are proposing beyond money - a community spirit; a bit of fun nay, a pleasure even. Who wouldn't want that when you can share that experience with thousands of others???

| I think a few people who suddenly want to plaster this forum with their inane rambling are feeling a little shaky at their knees. They are worried what the future holds for them.

| Yes, some people seem worried that all this 'change' for us may be for the better.
Trying to badly disguise thier pleasure with concern!

| Quote ="rugbyball"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.
[u=#BF0000I'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[/u. 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.'"
Correct. The Supporters Trust is [uNOT[/u backing any bid until all the facts are know. It is however prepared to speak with interested parties provided they wish to do so.

You seem to have a strange outlook on life and money.
Did you get your money returned when you paid to watch games at Wheldon Road or when following your club ?
Do you know how many fathers are out in cyberspace who have daughters ? Can they afford to lose their money or do you not think some things in life are worth more than money ?
WTW have always been at Belle Vue but that is going to change.
The flogged horse seems to have died and now the good guys have a new horse and a brand new rider.
It could be a winner.

sometimes people are in the know and often use this forum and others to put a message across either by themselves or by a third party.
It's like politicians or whoever purposly 'leaking' info to the press - it happens all the time doesn't it ?
