Reckon tomorrow is D-Day.

Not sure about that.

But a ccj registered against company on 27/01/2011 for £3374!!!

Someone else we havent paid???

Where have you got this from? Is there any more? Hopefully the new owners are made aware of these from the ourset, we can not afford to scare anybody away.

ive been told today that deal is done for new owners,and thet the rfl as told the new owner we are safe in sl for next three years as we have agreed to play at oakwell,how true this is i dont know but i can certainley

I hope this is true but i guess we are just going to have to wait and see. If it is true it could be the start of a bright new future for the club.

Do you think the RFL will tell anybody before the official date of July. They would be open to all sorts of legal prosecutions if this was the case. The applications are not even in yet. More wishful thinking than fact i fear.

We will soon find out one way or another its either admin then new owners (the likely outcome) or new owners before admin. Whichever i am certain the RFL will have given no such undertaking.

the rfl do what they want and they will know now whos gonna be in ie we all know widnes are gonna get in,now if a prospective new owner is a rich man they will want him in so would in my view give assurences

Been on the beer early today haven't we

As much as I wish it was true there is no way the RFL would have given those assurances.

RFL squeeky clean ? how naive are some people on here

If we do get the good news we're praying for, I wonder if there'll be a 68 page thread on the VT congratulating us, perhaps entitled 'Looking great for Wakey?'

They won't be much on VT when we get the good news other clubs fans are obsessed with us and want us to fail because they know we would be a major player in SL when run correctly

Good luck guys hope it all goes to plan and get the backing you deserve

Often it is the issue of 'Chinese whispers' which brings about these types of rumours. I think it is very possible that any new owner would want to seek any assurance the RFL would be willing to give, of course. I suspect that the 'new owner' has maybe gained an assurance from the RFL that 'they' would still be allowed to apply for a SL licence and that the RFL would be willing to give that assurance... given that they recently changed the rules anyway.

Also, conversely you know that conversations do happen 'off the record' and also officials at the RFL expressing 'opinions' is different to anything official and minuted within a formal meeting!

Public record.

If you've found a backer prepared to take over the club without resort to administration that would indeed be praiseworthy. Otherwise would you seriously expect to be congratulated for saving your skins at the expense of people to whom the club owes money?

If we have and that's a massive IF then it would suggest we have a wealthy backer, with good intentions

Where?

That is a bitter statement if ever I saw one! Business is business and whether the new owner is able to reach agreement with the major creditors (well, it is HMRC) or not is between them. A deal will be down to (mainly) HMRC and this is just the nature of business. Equally it would be irresponsible of any new owner to burden a new company with excessive debt that they don't need to carry if administration would be a better option. It is praiseworthy that 'they' are looking at doing a deal with HMRC, whether it comes off or not!

I doubt my Uncle Bill would be able to do that...

In a perfect world no-one wants to see anyone lose any money- it's not just businesses it's fans too . At the supporters trust meeting , Ian who was hosting the meeting ,said that in the event of administration he would lose his shares & player sponsorship money of which he's already paid .
But as someone taking over you're going to want the business as cheap as possible - the fans don't care either way , we're just praying for a new and hopefully positive era for the club .

really .. i mean really ?????

Yes its as simple as that , unless of course you happen to be one of the poor sods that loses money, while the club starts to prosper (hopefully for the supporters). The whole admin process is a disgrace allowing companies to default and just walk away scot free
