Quote ="Khlav Kalash"More meat on the bone; www.westyorkshirewindows.co.uk/l ... m/2011/02/'" Who would seriously want to buy Wakefield (who is apparently a millionaire) as a business opportunity? Who do you know that has ever made any serious money out of RL?. Also with respect Wakefield is hardly the biggest club in RL and doesn't have the biggest crowds, what makes you think that will ever change?

Who are you asking?

Wakie fans in general.

Who would want to takeover Trinity? Well the guy who I posted the link to. Is he a millionaire? I don’t know. Steve Parkin, who is the other rumoured interested party, is.

Why though?

Aren't both Rugby and Football clubs businesses? I don't see at as a very good investment for any "millionaire" to come to rugby because there isn't enough money to make and football is the place to be. They could however be doing it for the love of the club and if so then fair play...

Send them down to nl1 now let them rebuild and bring widnes up this season

Who would want to take over this club it's bleeding money left,right and

WOW agreeing with a wiganer



Seriously though I'm thinking the same as you, who and why?

Do Lewis and King Warrior really need it explaining to them?

A Wigan supporter talking about another club bleeding cash (albeit true)... it would only be funnier if that had come from a Saints fan!

Why though? Wakefield isn't a big club or even a mediocre one so why would a businesman throw money at a club like that?

Yes but a win in Championship is 3 points !!!!

If you are a rich man and can afford to spend 6 figure sums each year on a RL club, you have a very reasonable chance of walking out with your team at Wembley, live on BBC, at some point. The same is not true for football. Owners of football clubs are also typically putting money in, not taking it out, same as RL (with a few exceptions in both cases).

Read the link. Why did O'Connor take control of Widnes? Why did Moran take control of Warrington? To make money? Or to put something back into the community? You sound like your getting worried.

It's The Championship NOT NL1.
Please address your question to a Steve O'Connor at The Halton Stadium.Ask him to inform you all about the debt Widnes accrued over the years and their administration.
Looks like Steven Vaughan has popped up at Wrexham ; Racecourse Ground as it happens.

Getting worried?

Not at all, you know that the final nail went in your SL coffin today and even if you appoint Roman Abromovic as your new chairman it won't make any difference as Widnes found out 3 years back.

That was three years ago, this is now. A cashed up owner in charge of Trinity and they become a different proposition as any club would. The RFL like their millionaire's.

Leeds were hardly in a fantastic state when David Howes came along.....

No thanks.

Gives us 11 days to prepare for a SL season, get battered every week and have everyone say 'Widnes are rubbish, why are they in SL'.

Yeh but Leeds is huge! A huge city with one of the best rugby teams and rightly so. Leeds also took advantage of Leeds United's misfortunes as I know plenty of people that used to come watch Leeds United but once we got relegated didn't bother to go anymore and turned their attention towards Leeds Rhinos...

and if the Mo & Ron Ball game team get into the premiership, will the "glory seekers" still come to Headingley?

The other way round imo give you a bench mark for the next 2 years

Won't a massive problem for Wakey be that the £1million sky money has already been spent? Whoever takes over, first may have to deal with the debts but then also have to fund a SL level 1st team without the Sky funding. If this is the case, it certainly doesn't sound like an attractive proposition.

Is the money not given in instalments?
