| It's very positive and very encouraging. I wonder if Ted Richardson's read it.

With the very real difference that Jungle were part of the dotcom bubble; whilst PROBIZ have evolved in financial markets despite a massive global recession.

| It all does sound too good to be true, i really hope i'm wrong! But then again, building a multi million pound business in 5yrs sounds too good to be true and they've done that.

Goodbye all. It was nice knowing most of you.: |
|
| As I remember, jungle.com did so well that Andy Singleton (?) was given an offer from GUS that he simply couldn't refuse. They took over the company and it disappeared into the corporate mask of GUS - swallowed up, I think, by the Argos brand.
Great for them, but of course there wasn't the personal interest in all things Tiger from a company whose name could be associated with us any more.
As for PROBIZ, it's looking good - they seem to have a genuine interest in the club. We shall see....

"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

That really would make Ted Richardson choke on his pint of "BITTER"

| It all sounds really good, but this is not Premier League Football, if he thinks you are going to attract a load of fans from overseas he is not as smart a business man as he thinks he is.
I still think the fact one of his main businesses involves tax efficiency (or is it avoidance) is not necessarily something that ties in with the values of a RL club but thats just my opinion.

| A grand statement indeed and I can understand plenty of us no-nonsense Yorkshire folk treating it with a good deal of skepticism.
It may turn out not to be true but at least he's made a statement of intent which is a lot more than most sponsors have done over the past few years.

So it's not within the values of an RL club to create wealth and maximise profitability? If the company were specialising in illegal services I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be trading.

| This guy can talk the talk and has got me dreaming of Cas showing up at the big occasions.
Ted Richardson should keep quiet.

Simple fact is like 90% of the world haven't even SEEN an RL game so they wont know if they like it or not, if this bloke takes videos of games specifically involving Cas around the world he's promoting both the game and the club.
On another note, with the things he's come out with the last week or so does anyone else think he's lining up to buy the club?

Tax efficiency is usually a term associated with very wealthy people who can afford to pay Accountants and firms like PROBIZ to avoid paying their dues in relation to taxes. Why else is his client bank including numerous celebrities/pro sports people. This in turn makes the rest of us average earning Joes have to pay more to fill the gap
Do you think he will be opening a branch at GH to give the average Cas fan some advice on tax efficiency?

I hope you can look in the eyes of our starving brothers and sisters in Africa and say that with sincerity. I'm sure they'll believe just how strong your argument is.
