Not really called for, is it? Ted had the club up for 500K and a walkaway. The breakdown was commonly known. If Parkin had to buy Ted's shares out too, he'd be looking at closer to 1M.

What retirement fund? The guy's in an IVA, for god sake. He's hardly going to retire on that.
Would he have walked away for nowt? I don't now - depends if he knew there was something he could salvage. What do you think was left that he could have got his hands on?

Steve Parkin pulled out for reasons he's keeping to himself for now!
That said, I'll endevour to find out what his reasons were.

Well as far as I can see he has had to. So as much as prat he is, Im pretty sure he did not honestly think he had anything to sell to parkin, he was trying to give away a shed load of debt and hassle and Parkin decided he did not want it.

Probably not true at all. The RFL would love Steve Parkin involved as he has the money and the contacts that Superleague can only dream about.
I'd hazard a guess that he wanted some kind of guarantee over SL status and they wouldn't give it.

Yes, of course you have!!
Go on then, enlighten us mere plebs with your knowledge.
Or just carry on pretending you know something when quite clearly you don't.
By the way I found out last night what Friday's winning Euromillions numbers are going to be but I'm just going to keep that to myself for now. Alright??

The ground was intended to be the retirement fund, hence the desperate bid to cover his tracks with the bid to raise £500k and his reluctance to go into admin three/four months earlier when he was first approached by by Parkin.

He'd been to the RFL, Offered them £1 Million towards funding the World Cup, Which they are actively seeking funds for, As long as they promised Wakefield a SL Franchise.
This obviously couldnt be guaranteed, May not be the reason he pulled out, But he did approach the RFL, Or so i am told.

Very close. Basically the RFL had opportunity to make us into a force again but decided not to. Instead they give us cowboy owners for a future of ass instead of a future of sunshine

That's just as helpful as saying I know what Saturdays lottery number are and I will tell you on Sunday.
Do you mean it was nothing more sinister than he wanted to own a super league club not a championship club. He pulled out because he didn't get the same assurances by the that the old Celtic Crusaders regime were given when they screwed Widnes out of a place.

Yeah, Its the RFL's fault for not taking a backhander.
May i just clarify, I arent personally accusing Mr Parkin of this, Its a story i was told by a quite informed Wakefield fan.
Tbh, Can you blame him for not getting involved looking at the mess of the last few days, He was probably aware that before the RFL cleared him as new owner, The Administrators would sell the star players, And leave you with nothing for this season.
He didnt get his £170m by been stupid.

| Surely if he was really interested in WTW he'd of took over gone down and rose again much stronger as SO'C is doing at Widnes?
Maybe RFL learnt their lessons after Samuel offered the sane ultimatum from Celtic Crusaders?

How the hell does Ted walk away with half a million, if 350k goes to the tax man. The level of debate on here is reaching new lows.
