You can't really compare him to Minards mate. He's bought a third of the Cas shareholding and already pumped a 7 figure sum into the finances.

What Minards brought was know-how. We've had plenty of people with money. None of them got the stand done.

If they have a Minards they are competing with us again. If they have someone with money, I'm not worried.

I think he said he is looking to invest a seven figure sum but over two seasons.

I can and I did…regard his background… and his skill set is similar… JM was in the big consultancy corporate world… this guy is has private interests…

That’s correct, the only money he’s pumped in so far has gone straight to the Fulton s for his 32% share, he has no notable wealth (well not a multi millionaire) I’ll stick with my original opinion, he’s in to real estate, that’s all his long term interest is in

Listening to his interview I think he'll be good for Cas.

He will certainly be able to guide cas in the right direction regarding the planning application process and the construction thereafter.
It looks like the money he puts in over the next couple of years will be to do the stands up to help gain an A grade.
I’m guessing that cas will get an application approval sometime in the new year probably with a revamped stadium drawing that the EA are happy with…
However they can’t make a start on the stadium for at least another year because they will need the IMG points from the main stand to push them towards 15points when the scores are totted up again In October.

Going to be interesting to see what happens next year when these scores are added up..
It would Appear to be a four horse race between ourselves cas Toulouse and Leigh. Could it be that all the above clubs end up with 15 points this time next year.?

No chance they'll all be 15 points next year.
Maybe the 1-2 years after.

Leigh will be increasing fandom and performance points the others won't, so the other point areas are going to be the differentiator for the other 3.

So do you think we’re still in pole position then?

It is just a joke, we have been lucky the last board worked hard to get us a ground fit for S L .And Cas are still on a level playing field ,Salford are just about bankrupt, London are going part time in S L The game is going down hill fast

£10,000.00...that's a 7-figure sum and would easily have bought him a 32% stake in Cas
