We'll see at the weekend, but there's more at stake this year than two points on Saturday.
You may well win the battle but will you win the war?

I'm 100% sure we'll win the war, we have building our finances for a stadium for years and years whereas you just have a pipe dream of a millionaire chairman who's going to take you to the top...

Well if that's the case all we need to do is take chase out either by hook or crook. Quite an easy game plan really

Because he has lots to offer both to us and the game.
And I don't think for a minute he will enter his wealth and business skill into all this without certain guarantees.
I'm not saying that, that will be wakey getting a franchise, it may be a 16 team SL, it may be after three years out we will be accepted back into SL.
Who knows, but if Mr Parkin is owner of Trinity at the weekend, Cas might just need to feel a little bit more nervous.
As the old saying goes, it's not over till it's over.

Without digging all this up again, your not a lot further in front of us really and neither will be in a new ground until after the start of next season.
Until steel and concrete are on site it means very little.

Is this a Cas stadium thread, thought not, try the VT if you want to talk stadiums.

C'mon Lewis,bed now love.The papers don't take themselves!

If what you say is true, it suggests that Ted's public position of wanting out and his appeals for people 'who care enough' about the club, are the usual smoke and mirrors.

So - is he holding out for a better deal for himself or spoiling offers that don't come from his favoured buyer? Or - are you just an (admittedly well informed) agent provocateur?

Some one just removed their post, about why would a business man like Parkin, invest if he's not going to earn lots of money. Serious misunderstanding of what millionaires do with their money I think,they do it for a challenge, to be part of something, to create something and basically having more money than they know what to do with.

So when you said

=#FF0000"Parkin, SL franchise guaranteed"

You really meant - Maybe in 2012 if they increase SL to 16 teams or failing that hopefully in 2015

I moved it to the bin, most of the post was about the Cas stadium so i binned it.

This threads about a Wakey fan asking Wakey fans how they think it will pan out, not about Cas or GH, so its trashed.

No ones put an offer in yet, they can't.

No I'm not saying that at all, read what I've posted, not what you want me to have posted, there's a clever chap.

Yes but Mr Glover says he has lol. All v confusing. I really hope Mr Parkin fancies us then everything will be looking up. Time we had some good news I think the last good news we had was signing Shane Tronc last year !

Lets hope Mr parking comes in with a good offer. Minimal points deduction and a great chance super league will continue in wakefield.

I guess we are all just going to have to wait and see what is going to happen but i would be extremely happy if we end up with a wealthy new owner and then to top that off by beating cas.

Yes they can Al - they just can't be concluded yet.

you still here

Perhaps he posted his offer second class, that could be why it hasn't been received yet, it is still in the post!

The way I read the article on the SL site with the interview with Kear, it sounds like Steve Parkin is being confirmed as one of the parties who have made an offer to the administrator along with Andrew Glover as the second.

If it was a vote mine would be with Parkin. Mr Glover seems to be a nice guy but his comments (not sure if actually quoted properly) in today's League Express seem a little defeatist. He quotes that he would be prepared to buy the club even if he was told that they would not be successful in getting a new superleague licence before purchasing the club. As i am not well in the knowledge of Administration and also with the purchasing of a proffesional sports team someone may be able to shed light to this. But this is a theory only that the RFL have to approve new buyers of a club and could in fact have some say in who gets the club. If Mr glover has already confessed that he would buy them choose what fate we suffer this could only make the RFL's decision to give him the club and us the shaft a whole lot easier.

He sounds half resigned, where as I believe/hope/pray, parkin is saying nowt and playing hard ball.

Maybe he already knows our fate and chooses to play his cards this way as to show the administrators he is taking a long term view, rather than placing all his bets on a franchise.

Fair play to mr glover being prepared to take us on no matter which league we play in. Good on him certainly goes some way to prove he's not in this for himself and also shows that he is in it for the long haul. The other interested party is obviously keeping tight lipped and may well have the same intentions as glover but may not want his name bandied about in public until any deal is finalised. Things are certainly looking up for us at this moment in time especially when you consider the panic and mayhem we were in just two weeks ago!
