I seem to recall him saying he does not know much about running a superleague club hence why JE is on board but I do know about running a business and balancing the books.

Well I would question that and cant believe the situation we are now in so soon after the takeover.

What a sad state of affairs we are.

Sadly I think that he suspected his business skills in running a double glazing company were easily transferable to a rugby club. It would appear not.

I also recall him saying at the time of taking over that all our money worries were gone. This led me to believe that he had very deep pockets and would be able to sustain us for a long period of time.

Sadly again not true.

However, if it was not for Glover we may not have seen the last 3 years.

In many respects I am grateful for what he has done with the club and his financial commitment with the stands etc.

However, the financial mismanagement / poor fortune (Eric France sponsorship etc) are a very sad state of affairs. In my position as a fan I will never know the truth as to why it all went wrong.

I'm grateful for Glover saving us. I'm more than miffed that we have not been managed in a financially sustainable way. (However I'm not sure if that is possible in RL.)

I know the charity bike thing he is doing is for a great cause...and good on him for that.

If my business was going pappy up, then I would want to be around to sort it regardless of what I was up to.

Is that just me or.....?

It's not his business - or soon won't be!

Oh really?

I'll sit tight on the rollercoaster then!

I thought he was stepping down so he could concentrate on Newmarket or do we think he would screw that up also.

He's doing the windows on the executive boxes.

To think, this time last year the fans were chanting his name at the Leigh Sporting Village.

How little did we know.

It was a fantastic day though, Bradford getting turned over in France, about 50 Salford fans for a "home" fixture at Leigh and Wakefield smashing them to confirm a top 8 finish.

Talk about changing fortunes.

How times change eh.

Is Daddycool buying AG's shares then?

I think that's on the cards.

Glover did some great things at the club and im not sure we would have a club without him.
Its easy to take your eye off the ball and rely on people in the so called know.
For me im glad he got involved and I also hope everything works out for him

Oh he has done wonderful !!!Wonderful if you don't mind being treated as mushroom's kept in a cellar and fed on s@@T

Every press release.. every we can do this better...( NEVER WORRY AGAIN ABOUT MONEY...)than the last lot has gone up in smoke.

Now we are at risk big time selling our best and hoping next season we can hang on in there

So, pretty much Status Quo for Trinity then.

What they are playing Belle Vue? Do you think they will make any money out of that??

get used to end of season player sales factsareus , Wakey are and without a sugar daddy always will be a come and get em club.

As was ever thus. I remember fans happy to post photos on themselves in fancy dress with Ted and Diane back in the day.

The hero worship of owners has to stop, but some like that feeling of being important when they are anything but.

Yes, he clearly has got some things wrong, ie spending more than he/we can afford, but at the same time lets not forget he got us out of a serious hole!
Once the RFL could not give Steve Parkin the guarentees he wanted, funnily enough there was not a long line of people queing up to buy us. He put his own cash in and seriously saved our ass. Unfortunately in the end his wallet wasnt as big as his ego!

I often wonder when they are scratching around for sponsors, if the RFL regret as much as we do not giving SP the guarentees he wanted!

I've often thought the same thing - I understand that he made offered some attractive incentives if he could get the assurances he wanted, that would have benefitted the whole game; and that's before you even consider the names in his address book.

Hey ho - it wasn't to be.

Me Glover in my opinion is just a.nieve man who has been out done by a self opinionated rugby league wanna be I just hope Franny Stephenson is sat somewhere with a massive smile on his face due to the fact Elston has stabbed Me Glover in the back like he did him Elston should be banned from every rugby league ground in the country.

What are you upto these days Francis?!

A bit of forward thinking, or alternatively a quick scan at the Crusaders accounts and the world could have been a different place where the mighty Trin are concerned!

Personally think some of the stuff being written on here about Andrew Glover is disgusting. Yes, mistakes have been made but these are hard times, the guy has put thousands and thousands of his own money into our club, more than the majority of us die hard fans will do in a lifetime. If i was a potential investor with a million quid in the bank and was reading some of the garbage posted on here and how ungreatful people become so quickly with someone who has given to our club what AG has, then i wouldnt touch us with a barge pole...

He was stood next to me at the game on Sunday - looked a bit bulky, think he might have been wearing a stab vest under his jacket.
