I don’t think stupidity can be cited against fans that are prepared to throw their hard earned money into a black hole.

Blind passion maybe, but they’re not stupid.

I don't see any evidence for that.

I do see that the BoD have *tried* to play on that sentiment, but I haven't seen any fans blindly pledging their money; most of the comments on here have ranged from cautious to outright cynicism.

I guess I should have clarified that I do not see the supporters as 'stupid' but the BoD must take us as fools with no businessmen willing to invest and, as you both say, the number of questions asked and points raised on here from the moment the begging bowl came out!

What about the guy who was going to buy us the one that fell off his scooter and sadly past away. He was going to buy the club so why can't his family step in?? He was a multiple millionaire.

I think you will have to look elsewhere. France has fingers in pies at Trin, Ossett Town and Dewsbury.

the only way someone will take on the club is if they are in admin so they get a cheap deal.

It's both Eric AND Johnathan who are banned from acting as directors. From memory, they continued trading whilst the company was insolvent, then made attempts to frustrate the officials brought in to sort the mess out. That is why they were given such long banning periods (about 12 years, I believe). Are these really the sort of people we want owning and running the club? People who would happily pull the plug on our long and proud history at the drop of hat just to save a few quid?

I think we've been down that road already.

I don't want him anywhere near this club, anyhow he's got no cash just a load of posters and banners.

No they are not, sadly we may end up with such a person and tbf it seems no one with any dosh and a love of the club is stepping in.

He does have some money but i would not trust him one bit.

I sent a message to George Riley at Five Live the other day, asking him to publicise our plight in a positive way; "you never know if a Wakey lad or lass made good might be listening," I thought.

Even as I sent the message, I had a moment of clarity; if you looked up the expression 'clutching at straws', there would be a picture of me sending this message...

the big one will hopefully come back in.

If the big one does come on board rthen I think we may well see professional football come to the city too.

Who is it?

Is it Dave Whelan who i heard mentioned a few months ago?

The Dave Whelan rumour was going around last year, when he left Wigan RL

Not Whelan. He's involved in semi pro football at the moment.

Must have a load of money to waste if they are going to get Wakefield from the Evo-Stik North through to the Prem, Conference North, Conference and into the Football League...

Who says he's involved with Wakefield FC?

Can you all stop buggering about and just name names . Sorry for my impatience ... just a nosey sod & need a fix of excitement again !

Unless they are moving a team from outside the area they'll have the same number of promotions, or have to start from scratch at the bottom.

I agree, i cant think of any of the local semi-pro clubs who have multi-millionaires involved with them.

Unless someone can supply a name then i smell a rat.

Bingo! Don't know for sure whether that would be his plan but it would be logical for him to do so should the stadium go ahead. He'd have a stadium that fits football league criteria and it wouldn't cost him a penny to build.

Chelsea want to relocate

so we want to know more , the club tell the shareholders more in confidence then we start putting it on here and the club stop telling us stuff

And yet the club still haven't got the brains to give information despite begging the fans for money. You couldn't make it up

Nice attempt, but the club haven't even begun to start telling us stuff; that's why there's so much speculation and rumour-mongering doing the rounds.
