Yeah ME had started putting money in well before the end of the season, he would have taken over regardless.

If he wanted the club in the Championship he wouldn't have paid for Gale and DF.

Quite right.Can't remember thinking ME might pull out if we stayed up, more like if we went down.

There are some on their site think he’s loaded but he isn’t his investment is being spread over 3 years and the first payment just sneaked in to last years account, but it’s not his money it’s on his company, a property speculation developer, there’s only one reason they have invested in CTrL and Weldon road

It’s really not our problem we should just be grateful someone was willing to take us over when they did or all this talk of returning to SL would only be a pipe dream even with the new stand. I think in the entire tenure of our SL existence we have been lucky to survive with problems both on and off the field. We can all remember when the media turned up for our expulsion only to be saved by the demise of the Crusaders. How many times have we won the last game to stay up and even relied on Castleford to beat Salford.

I think ME would have continued with the take over regardless of relegation or not but it would have been impossible to improve the squad enough to have anything other than another season of struggles and woe. This reset season in the Championship is by far a better option imho.

Exactly this.
Frankly I don't care about Cas one way or the other but my focus is on trinity.
I don't know Matt Ellis but he hasn't got where he is without being smart and I'm sure our IMG rating will only increase as time passes
