Totally unfair mate....if it wasn't for Ted we wouldn't have a club to support !!!
For as long as I can remember, he has always said that he would be willing to step aside if someone else was prepared to come in and take over. I am not naiive enough to believe that he would be willing to give away his shares/control of the club, and that he obviously wants to do the best for his family members employed at the club, but the fact remains that in the absence of other financial investors over the past 12 years (since we got into Superleague), then Ted has single-handedly kept our club afloat on a shoestring budget.
It is desperately unfortunate for him that his finances have gone belly-up through a failed business agreement, and I genuinely feel for the guy who has always tried to do his utmost for the club.
IF IT WASN'T FOR TED WE WOULDN'T HAVE A WALL TO PUT OUR BACKS AGAINST !!!!! |

| Quote: Catwoman1 "That is totally incorrect - if the right person/people came along (ie someone who had the best interests of WTW at heart, and the funds to secure the club's existence) Ted would GIVE them his shares tomorrow, and that has been the case for a long time.
Ted will not put the Club at risk (remember he is a supporter just like most of us on here!) - with the previous few interested parties those conditions were not met.'"
I know of at least one instance where this was not the case, and it came down to the value that was asked for! |

I asked the question a while ago - how much would you have to put into the club to match Ted's shareholding? The answer, iirc, was around the 350K mark.

Is he looking for £2m of investment and still give the shares away. That might be a different situation completely. Ted isn't going to see his club die, he is wanting to do whats best.

Ok, believe what you like 
I have told you the true version, and would not have bothered to post at all if it was not.
There have been interested parties previously but not ones who filled the 2 conditions I mentioned earlier. |
