| Quote ="RebelRebel"I don't know whether we've turned a corner now or not. I'll wait and see what our new owner delivers. But I genuinely feel this is the time for a supporters' trust, and one with board representation at that. I'm glad the initial part of this sorry episode has been resolved though.'"
Ideed there is a wealth of experience on the current working party and when the Board of the Trust is finally elected it will represent the voice of the fans and can really help push the club forward for me by attracting new fans, re-engaging lapsed ones and bringing in new sponsors. The Club Board representation will depend on whether shares are sold in the new company and if not whether new owners invite a rep of the Trust onto the Board but regardless of that the Trust will be a great vehicle for fans and club

| Quote ="TerminalDecline"is Andrew Glover paying off all the debts
If he's not paying off all the debt and is going through the administration process, to get the best deal and accept a percentage, then surely the administrators should be announcing the new owners and also the creditors should be voting on whether they accept the reduced amount'"
The money paid for the club will go towards the debts and the only liabilities Spirit of 1873 Ltd will inherit relate to staff entitlements. If Glover wishes to take on some of the debts then that's something that would have been part of his offer.
The creditors of WTRLFC Ltd won't get much say as the Administrators had to act quickly to get any sort of deal. If they'd gone through the process of arranging a creditors meeting there wouldn't have been a going concern to save & a liquidation process would have generated much less for the creditors.

| Welcome to the club Mr Glover,I hope you feel you have made the right decision and that you can put your plans for moving the club forward into practice as soon as humanly possible.
Some one mentioned your posting on here which I feel will be an error of judgement but the weekly blog sounds a great idea in keeping fans up to speed and helping them feel more in the know as it were.
Lets hope we can all move on and start to feel some of the old pride we once felt.
Congratulations and welcome.
Foz

| As a neutral I'm pleased and delighted for you,but please don't build up your expectations too quickly.For what its worth,like any other business,you have to slowly build firm foundations and then live within your means.You can't lose a couple of games and then demand you go out and spend money you don't have.

| Quote ="The Trip"In all probability Steve Parkin will have pulled out because of the inability of the RL to give assurances that the club will survive the franchise. Which leaves him with the decision of whether to buy a lottery ticket or not. Remember there will still be only one club receiving a contract in 3 years time as well and I'm sure Toulouse,Halifax, Leigh and maybe a Cumbrian club will also be pushing hard. We have had 10 years feeding at the top table and if we leave it could be a good while until we eat there again. We have one hope left and I'll let you guess on that !!!!'"
There are no guarantees that a club will be promoted in 3 years time

| Quote Right now its a verbal agreement meaning the deal has not been finalised so the administrators will not be announcing it. I suspect Mr Glover has revealled the news as a boost to the club before the season started rather than letting it drag on over the weekend.'"
thank you, that's what I'd assumed...
to the other poster - I assume from your pointing out I'm a cas supporter and nothing else of any worth in the posting, you're taking the view that any person that questions the goings on is by definition anti-wakefield - it must be nice to live in your ivory tower.

| Welcome indeed Mr Glover ..... I would like to think that I am one of the realists on here, and know that there are still some difficult times ahead, but at least there ARE times ahead, rather than just red, white and blue tinted memories. I have been impressed with your marketing of both yourself and your bid, as have a lot of other people (How many people outside the inner circle at BV, had heard of you this time last month ??????...not many - me included), but if you continue to promote the club in the same way, then you will win back many of our armchair supporters, several of which have posted on this thread....WELCOME BACK PEOPLE, THE WAKEFIELD ROLLERCOASTER IS BACK ON TRACK !!!!!!!!!

I have just read my above post and can't believe that I have mentioned "WAKEFIELD" and "MARKETING" in the same thread

Nope, just astounded by your unique combination of overbearing arrogance and relentless misery; it must be a laugh a minute round your house.

| yeah, relying on preconceptions... it's a handy timesaving way to avoid actually thinking about a subject.
If you can't see that there are questions to be asked, without trying to stir it, and that anyone who does have some questions to ask is somehow just trying to do your club down, then carry on...

Are you talking to me?
If so, Starbug didn't ask a question did he? In true Starbug style, he made a post asking our new owner to PM him so they could have a conversation; pure lunacy.
Do you have questions? Feel free to ask them.

That's the key words and I think most people on here, can spot those with genuine questions, rather than those here to stir, I'm not saying your one or the other, but there's quite a few Cas and other supporters do come here to stir.

| Welcome aboard Mr Glover. Whilst I understand that we may not get the scrum half and two props we need instantly, the only thing I would like from our new owner is honesty. No need to tell us everything that happens, just truthful statements when you feel necessary.
The best thing about the takeover is that from 17.00 today we will be able to talk about rugby!

| hells teeth... I asked some genuine questions, Khlav & RDM took the time to try to answer it as they both saw it and I said thank you... (you may note that this is probably not the behaviour of a stirrer)
whereas others go "oooh, you're a cas fan... you're just stirring it"
and when you point out that that is not the case, their defence is "well other cas fans are like that" so they just assume...
Stephen Griffiths went to QEGS, but I don't assume everyone in Wakey is a serial killer

stop whinging ! stirring goes on everywhere,on every forum between most clubs - it's what keeps the threads & posts interesting,especially out of season.

| Thanks Mr Glover. If Mr Parkin really wanted us he would have pulled out would he. Mr Glover didn't so we should be grateful and this guy is a millionaire so its a good thing. Anyone would be a step up from Ted !!!

Who's whinging and where did I whinge, just pointed something out to someone? Thanks for that gem of information.Obviously you haven't read much of the Wakey forum last few days, not your usual RL banter to say the least.
