IF Wakefield, do indeed get bought by this guy, who we are all hoping for, and he funds the purchase of some quality players, midway through the year we get the nod for NM, and we have a half decent season, do you not think we have a fair chance of retaining a franchise?
I appreciate that theirs quite a few IFs involved but, sources close to the club suggest that this investor is hours rather than days away from concluding the deal, NM is now being looked at individually by the SoS this suggests to me that we will not be waiting too long, and with a strengthened squad we could easily have a fair season.
Added to all that, a big businessman is going to get assurances from the RFL that his venture is secure, perhaps aided by a little sweetener by way of some sponsorship elsewhere in the RFL circles.
Now then tell me again that it doesnt affect Cas/A.N.Other Club/The RFLs plans!!!'"
look at widnes last time round, they were bought out but still didn't get a license. the rfl can't just simply allow this sort of thing to happen and just let clubs get away with it. Crusaders are a different case as they are an expansion club.
If Wakefield enter administration, which I would think is fairly certain. and the rfl grant them a license they will be staring at a hefty law suit from the widnes camp
cas will get their groud admitted in the coming months and construction will begin, setting their bid up nicely, cas ATM are run great as a club on and off the field, surely Wakefield have no bearing on their bid at all. it's merely optimistic Wakefield fans trying to sleep at night
