No-one quite knows - and many have tried. It's very frustrating!

I was as much questioning your certainty that the 'dream BoD' you name would take over when it seems to be based on wishful thinking and assumptions over the intent of people who, quite frankly, I don't think you actually know.

I know as much as anyone else on here. Which is squat. All I was saying was I hoped the people mentioned would take over.

I was hardly certain on anything as I said "Personally I will live in hope and keep the beers cold, as this could come through any day now......."
Live in hope hardly implies that I think these people in particular are hardly nailed on, they've just been mentioned- by more than a couple of people I may add.
But I stand by my statement of this/something similar happening in the next few days, as frankly if it doesn't I can't see how we would survive the court hearing on the 22nd.

It's an opinion and a personal interpretation, that's all. Your entitled to one too you know!

I wasn't trying to get shirty, or pour cold water on the hopes and dreams of anyone. What I do express is caution over getting too excited over people with prior connections to Wakey stepping up with wads of cash to chuck at the club. From the little I do know I don't see that, and the lot more I have heard on here, I'm doubtful. If anyone knows for certain things that challenge that view, I'll gladly stand corrected.

As TRB says nobody knows, not even his old team mates ... Ian Brooke saw him on his mower a while back so stopped his car, got out an shouted to him. Apparently Derek looked up and shouted 'Eyup Brookey' and then just continued his mowing!


PS Bought one of your books today

hope im wrong but at present it looks to me like wakefield best bet for a likely owner is a company of administration accountants.

Thank goodness I have, life would be very depressing without it!

Anybody know if there are actually any interested parties still involved in discussions at taking over the club?

Not heard anything since they initially announced they were in discussions, and I would have thought that if at all possible, they would be looking for the investment (if there is going to be any) to be announced before the winding up petition is heard?

Have the club actually confirmed that they are in discussions with these 'moneyed' (don't think that's an actual word) people? There has been plenty of speculation on here and if all these were true, we'd be well set. However, the club would still be talking to them at Xmas with the long list of suitors willing to throw money at us.

I know one of the alleged interested White Knights have withdrawn their interest. A few people are all mouth it seems.

Lets hope he wasn't the only one interested

Shouldn't be anything to worry about, after all there are many millionaires waiting in the wings, apparently the only reason they've not come forward in the past was because they didn't want to work with the existing board.

Personally I though he had more metal.

Let's hope we can still get someone who can get a grip. A shade of Pink maybe???

So if France is out of the frame (who you would have thought would be the best hope given they already are the main shirt sponsors) are we down to one?

Maybe the boat has sailed. If Ted had stepped aside a few years back, before the banking crisis, people may have been more willing to take over.
