Only one joke on this forum sunshine and that is you. If you were not such a grade A idiot you would try and read between the lines in regard to what TRB tells you. It may come as a surprise but even ted is allowed a private life. We (including TRB) know the full story unlike ignorant people like you. Sadly we can't tell you because YES even Ted has confidences that deserve to be respected.

As has been alluded to, this is a technical issue and Ted has had to protect himself and defacto the club by taking out a hopefully short term IVA. He is not bankrupt and the club is safe. If you can't accept that so what I'll live with it.

As for those mentioning France and Walker as saviours - GIVE YOYR HEADS A SHAKE. Why would either want to. France has not got the inclination or desire, Walker did it once and isn't keen to try it again. Your just weeing in the wind on this one.

Yes I'd like new blood in at the club though not wholesale changes. Just calm down and await the fact for a change.

Maybe your right vasty, or maybe not, either way my opinion is as worthy as yours.
Your info you say comes from the club and therefore is true, well don't think that others don't get theirs from the same place.
Certain people knew about this a while ago TRB can back that up, it wasn't hard to do, the boring thing about this for me is the same people circle the waggons every time there's a cock up!!
Yes ted is allowed a private life, and we are allowed people at the club who are willing to take the club forward from the mire we are currently in.
Teds had a fare crack of the whip and at the end of it we are staring down the barrel of a gun, not much progress in his tenure (not a total failure either!!!)
I for one hope the rfl force ted to step aside, his offspring are safe in jobs until their proved incompitent, so he need not worry!
But hopefully this will now be a time for someone to come forward and bring some fresh blood and a new future for the club.
Time will tell, I don't think they are going to be anyone as yet mentioned, but I don't care!
Grade a idiot, no not really, just not a member of the love in, trying to protect their own intrests and sources of information!
Come the revolution!!!

I just don't see anyone credible waiting around for the chance to do it. Ted's hinted at times in the past that he'd step aside if someone came along, and, whilst his terms for that may not have been what the likes of Ferres, etc wanted, the bigger problem seemed to be none of them really had the resources to take the club forward.

Without the likes of a Ken Davy, we've got to push along as best we can, which will always lead to ups and downs on the pitch, as good spells will be followed by good players being tempted where the grass is greener. I've never been entirely convinced by Ted, but the fact that he's been at least credible enough to allow the Newmarket deal to be brokered by others shows that, until one of those many secret multi-millionaires steps off the terrace and into the boardroom, he's a safer bet than a step into the unknown with any of those who've challenged him who seem to think they could do better, but never seem to have the goods.

Hey up look, the attention seekers back!

I'm chuffed to bits you and TRB are in the know......

Welcome back Vasty! I've missed you! What would we talk about if it weren't for the internet and forums. In the old days we didn't know that the board and there financial problems (Woodward, Scaife et al) existed.

Quite simply the saddest post ever ive seen on here, you may be right but your non acceptance of any other opinons on a forum is tiresome , borish, and frankly not constructive.

Everythings not fine, you and i know that vasty, so please at least allow some debate as to the reasons????????? eh? (ps the answers money!)

It's not non acceptance it's my opinion. Odd that you think kinsly is ok to shout his moth off without rebuke from you yet I can't. How odd and how typical of a hypocrite like you. Boorish would be you IMHO, but there you go.

For years now I've seen the hoops people like Ted have had to jump through, and not just him those at other clubs. So forgive me if I'm less than impressed when know nothing slag em off without a single fact to back them up. Worse still people like you who seem to fancy themselves as forum free thinkers back them up with the tired old mantra of everyone having a right to an opinion. Stalin had opinions - do you think he had a right to them or the right to act on them.

If you're wrongly accusing someone it is unacceptable, being only a sport does not let you off the hook. An opinion to be valid has to have some rational, on this forum that is totally lacking in many cases.

Frankly your worse than the original poster IN MY OPINION (see what I did there) - and frankly I don't really care what you think of that comment.

Ted isn't owed his job as Chairman, nor are myself, TRB and others his lap dogs, but after 15 years he is owed a little understanding, sympathy and respect. Can you and those you wish to protect imagine the pain this proud man is suffering right now - through no fault of his own as it happens yet all many seem to want to do is dump him ASAP for the next messiah - very very sad.

Hope that was sad enough for you, it certainly is for me. Best of luck Ted.

The only boring mantra is certain peoples unwillingness to see common sence!
15 years as you say, we haven't progressed! He's had his go, time for a change, of one can be found!!
The facts on this matter have been claimed by ted himself, or are in the rfl rules, point out anywhere, where there is any inaccuracies, oh wise one!!
The fact that after 15 years we are now in a very risky off field position, shows that it's time for a change, there has been time for us to go forward and that hasn't been taken.
You need to take the blinkers off, stop slagging peoples opinions off and realise things aren't looking very good for us and this might be an opportunity to move the club forward, because that's what matters, above all else.
People like you appear to follow ted more than trin!

Irony overload!

What I took from it was that Ted made a statement that was candid and honest, and disclosed much more than he needed to, because he could have just said that he has entered into an IVA and then given an assurance that it would have no effect on the club. He didn't. He gave the full facts, regardless of any personal embarrassment he might have felt, presumably because he knew that fans would see a potential problem and wanted to provide reassurance and an explanation. Every credit to him.

And I don't know Ted, or TRB, and I've only spoken to Vasty once (and he was surprisingly pleasant!).

Bit of a plank if you ask me

Bit of? :O

What does ted actually do? as he certainly hasn't put any money into the club for many a year.
(HIS WORDS NOT MINE)

I agree with Kinsley hes had his reign hes made a lot of money from player transfers not really kicked on. His best appointment in his reign was and still is John Kear. If I was Ted I would put the club up for sale and give someone else a go but shareholders and staff need to agree on who is right and gives us a secure future in hopefully our new ground. Thank you Ted but time is up now.

Even more!

And who in there right mind would buy the club,shake your head,there's no one out there who'd want it!!

I'll give it a go; I bid ten bob and a s egg, with the s egg only becoming payable when I've completed the due dilligence process.

We have a winner and it pains me to say it.

I agree at the minute we're not an attractive proposition. I might be in the minority but i think Ted has done alright with what must be a challenging club to run. Obviously there are area's in which we can improve but on the whole i think he's doing well and he obviously cares.

As the club is always late in calling the A.G.M, how many shareholders are required to be able to call for an E.G.M ? Anybody know how our other major shareholder Brian Eccles is healthwise as I know he has not been in the best of health in recent years. I understand that he is not as close to Ted in their business relationship as previously.Has his indisposition allowed too much control of the club to be in the hands of one major shareholder ?

ok I suppose your entitled to have an opinion like that too, shame you decided to base it on one post and not on others on here when i have said its not the time for ted bashing, as we dont know the facts. Apologise for the sad bit, id had a bad day!

Certainly time to put the feelers out IMO and see if anyone is out there willing to step forward.

TR has taken us as far as he can IMO and we now need to hope there is someone who can raise the bar and take us to that next level. It's a critical time for the club and I think we need to act very fast to try and get someone else in.

why appologise to vasty he gos on about stalin having an opinion but then acts like him cause no one else can have one.

Whats happening with the money we sold Belle Vue for then?

Trinity haven't received all of it, but what they have has been reinvested into the club. Alternatively if you want to go down the conspiracy road then it's all been pocketed and spent on M&S suits.
