Do you really think he’s just thought f$€k it I’ll go buy a rugby club without speaking to the other directors first? Without them getting a sniff of it? It’s delaying tactics and hanging on by Minards it’s as simple as that. He needs to go now and let things progress. I don’t believe that he says he’s waitning to see the business plan for the club either. The RFL have been conducting due diligence they would t even entertain it if he hadn’t submitted one they’d have told him to come back when he’s serious. Again more delaying tactics and the brainwashed are falling for it hanging on to every world JM says'"
Its not a very good delaying tactic is it. They could answer his question in one meeting.
And what is there to delay. It was mentioned at the meeting that the rush to handover has in some ways gone away. He's given the money that helps us battle relegation. Its better to take the time over the takeover.
There is every likelihood that the delay is on Ellis's side so he can see whether we win on Friday. His investment is massively different based on that result.

The investment would change based on whether any investor is buying a SL club or Championship club..
Winning on Friday is certainly helpful and a further step towards securing a spot in SL.
However, beating Cas, on it's own will not secure our SL status.
In this respect, our grading with IMG is actually as important and maybe more important for any would be investor.

| His parents will surely be advising him to walk away. A month down the line and he, and possibly they too, will be the recipients of the standard vitriolic abuse.

I don't know why you bother responding to the "Mega Gammons" on here. Regardless of any sensible logical or rational opinion stated, the "Mega Gammons" word is the only opinions that counts

Not quite the same is it, talking £ millions here, How many coaches have bought a Super League club, with or without their parents?

| Ellis deserves credit for stumping up the cash to give us a chance of still being in the fight by financing many of the new signings. I wonder how many think that JM would have been able to do the same and what position would we be in.
I just wish we could get Ellis’s side because all we have is what the current incumbent because I have not read anything from MC is saying and then maybe the uneducated supporters and those who believe themselves to be superior will be able to make an informed decision. I just hope that we the uneducated should it happen will be able to understand all the intricacies and make up our own minds and not be like sheep and follow wherever they are told to go by the current incumbent Shepherd.

Its not just about the individual, but about the process (or lack of) surrounding the appointment. The sooner the chancers who are failing the club at board level are out of the way, the better

He does deserve some credit for that.
What he has done by doing that is take the pressure off the takeover. It doesn't have to be rushed as he has done what needs to be done this year.
I don't really know why people are so bothered for it to be rushed.

It’s based on fear that it will be cocked up again when we are so near. I just hope the incumbent isn’t pushing Ellis into a corner because if he walks then so does our future because we need his type of investment to help us compete at the top. I regret accountants are not business people, they help maximise a company’s profitability but do not actually generate any of the actual income.

| There are no winners in these discussions. Jm put last few years keeping trin afloat and hopefully new man taking us further. If these people looked at this forum I won't blame all for walking away. Only a week ago I'm put out a statement where we are at now.so for me just bloody wait and see the outco e and not upset them that actually know what is happening

I'm wondering what 'decision' you feel you need to make?
I'm not sure but I'm thinking you are not part of the takeover....are you?

| It's an interesting debate is this but let's cut out the personal insults please.
We are all on the same side after all, WTRLFC.

| Echoing Legend,JM stated quite recently that in his opinion the takeover was progressing as expected and just needed more time.Not being eligible to go to the meeting myself,I have read the comments of those that went and nothing untoward seems to have been said.(I think someone said that parts of the meeting must remain confidential and I accept that.Has something significant changed?And if not, why has this meeting stirred up so much bitterness and arguing that it is starting to overshadow tomorrows massively important match? Let's get behind the team.

I can tell you nothing in the meeting about the takeover was controversial or anything that contradict what JM said on video. The confidential part was more to allow people to discuss things openly.
