Sir Rodney will look very silly if he fails again the second time around! How does he hope to succeed without working with the owners of the main anchor tenants?

I know we all just want a new stadium
I want a new stadium so bad, but not to the extent that I am blind to the blatantly obvious.

Ok. I did my best. Some of those that have gone weren't a problem but commented on the others so didn't fit any more. Nothing regarding the thread title has been taken away.

I also don't see how we can trust the people that have stalled the building of this stadium for years and years and now suddenly they want to have it built by next year! Leaving the people who want it building more than anything behind!! It's a crazy world...

A cracking piece of in depth journalism in today's Wakefield Express ....not.

I was thinking the same - RW does everything in his power to sabotage, undermine and spoil the process, works against the club owners and the Trust, then colludes with the developer to make himself the white knight; and people seem quite happy to accept this, for the sake of it being built - regardless of the cost.

Unbloodybelievable!

But the alternative is no stadium. It's not right, but let's see what the white knight delivers and at what cost before we march with flaming torches.

I think the time for waiting to see what happens has been and gone a long while ago. He's had 7 years to make things happen and so far we've seen jack-all.

I really am struggling to understand why you think he can suddenly do something different????

I've just been to Asda and bought a box of matches

Because he's bolted from the Trust and established a new one. That tells me that he's spotted a finishing line that wasn't there before. For whatever reason, he thinks he can best deliver it on his own. It might be hot air, or he's spotted a financial opportunity, but something has clearly changed.

The club has given him a month. I'm of the same view. If it's all hot air, that's when the scapegoating begins. If it isn't, it's simply a case of assessing the costs involved.

It's like when the buyer of your house drops the price by 10K on the day of exchange when they know you're committed to buying elsewhere. It's a disgrace, but sometimes if it's the only way to sell your house you've got to suck it up and get on with it, as the alternative is not moving.

Correct; and as if we have a choice anyway. Which they know
