He did want to purchase Wasps but didn't have the necessary readies.

We're a different prospect entirely so here's hoping.

TR isn't particularly interested in signing any players from the North. It sounded as though he has players in mind from abroad who are 'ready to play'.

Regarding your last comment, both, and he is very interested apparently.

Completely agree with you, and the comments that come from Tony, it confirms what I was told in a long conversation on Thursday. Currently it just seems a matter of agreeing things.

No one would be silly enough to deny what a bad season it has been for us, but I often feel if some put in as much effort backing the club, than constantly knocking everything, we may all be just a little more postive.

Well that would be a LOT of overseas players which i guess would mean the quota rules would have to be changed for us. Maybe this is still to be approved hence the long wait. Without it we have no chance of being competitive and would just be relegated. Presumably he knows this and is waiting for confirmation from the RFL. Lets keep our fingers crossed for him,

You are pretty much bang on the money there with regards to what is happening. He seemed extremely positive though.

Cheers for that post Dave. If you want to keep your private chat exactly that feel free to ignore, but did he suggest any timings of an announcement/decision?

These things tend to be pretty much sorted before going to meetings especially where votes are needed to pass the motion. Obviously they think there is enough support commited already that they know about to get it through unless some people change their mind when it gets into the papers and the parochial nature of the Northern supporters kicks in and turns on the people making the decisions.

No specifics sadly - because he doesn't know himself rather than doesn't wish to share.

Ah okay, cheers. The wait goes on then.

When the Hive was first mooted, I started having a lurk on the Barnet F.C. forum and when the club had open days Tony Kleanthous was there helping show people round and answering their questions. I don't know about him moneywise, but he sounds like just the person with the attitude to the supporters we need. With him on board, things might start looking a bit rosier

If he took us over there must be some savings on staff who could cover admin for both clubs. The savings on ground rental etc over the Stoop will help. If we could only assemble a competitive team together id like to think a lot of dissolutioned fans would return and make us break even ensuring he doesnt ditch us a waste of money.

Good news all round then.....The Hive in SL with a few extra chain rattlers in the ranks. In fact, that's brilliant news.
