| Quote Eastern Wildcat="Eastern Wildcat"I'd like to think if certain people do the right thing, and allow the takeover to happen, that we look at our younger players, and do a bit more in trying to retain them.
I get that they don't have the experience to demand a top end contract, but people like Lewis Murphy is a prime example as to where things arent always black and white. Made his debut early last season, built a reputation, and quickly established himself, and was first choice at the start of the year.
The question you have to ask, at any point has an offer to improve his current deal been offered, before the NRL became interested. Eseh is steadily following.
Do we even offer young players incentives, such as bonuses for every so many games played etc, other clubs do'"
Please qualify your opening line.

Yes your right, another assumption with no substance.

Yep. Lots of innuendo but no evidence to back such comments.

To me, asking to meet the parents is a valid case in point, if that person is young, and is still a bit wet behind the ears in business, but he isn't.
Out of curiosity, Michael Carters wealth is, mainly through his Dad's business. Did Glover ask to meet his parents?
Furthermore, I believe the Ellis family have a box at the club, and have done for some time. Surely JM will have had plenty of opportunity before now to meet them.
To me, he doesn't want to let go, and this is a delaying tactic. Sadly for this club, to move forward and with the times, he needs to let go, and step aside.
Investors in sport, don't come around every day.

So, as has been explained, they didn't ask to meet the parents. They asked to meet the owners of the business that will be providing the money for the takeover.
The fact that none of the previous owners did due diligence is partly because it was always a fire sale before admin and partly why sometimes we've had owners who weren't capable and took us to a worse position.

So just an assumption then.
So out of curiosity, how does anyone know the hold up is not on the Ellis side???
I suppose all of us have "heard something" but most of us know better than to spread unsolicited rumour.
It wouldn't surprise me when all this is done and dusted, that some libellous action might be issued after personal attacks, and downright lies have been spread all over social media.

Fair enough Lifelong fan, but that can also work two ways.
If it does all come out, from both sides, there are two sides to every story remember, and Ellis does lose his patience, and walk away, do you think the current Wakefield Trinity model can survive, bearing in mind the main investor at the moment is already ready to go?

Its not the first time, or the second time our current board have denied something, for it to turn out to be true.

It's a business negotiation, it shouldn't be taking place in the public domain. Not now, not ever.
Fans are desperate for news, especially good news but, that changes nothing.

No, I don't think it is sustainable as it is, I just think the take over talks have to run there course and we will find out when they are concluded, without any rumours, indenous or just plan lies getting everyone frustated.
