Quotevastman="vastman"No reason he can't do both, especially as ones a winter game. Who knows, these are a different breed of people to the rest of us and they don't think like we do. To me Trinity sounds like an ideal project for him, but he may well just shrug his shoulders.
Slightly OT: I had an uncle who was a hugely successful Doctor, one of the very first to open a medical practice in the 80's and then expand. Yet he and my Aunt used to travel to France for four weeks every year in the most rubbish 20 year old camper van you've ever seen. I never got it, he never seemed as wealthy as I thought he was and never seemed all that happy. When he died four years ago he left an estate worth 28 million to be split between his four children and a bit for hangers on like me
. My laboured point is that he hardly spent any of his great wealth either on himself or anyone or anything else whilst alive - I'll never understand the rich or the posh
QuoteThe Avenger="The Avenger"Steve Parkin has just sold Clipper to US giants GXO for around £2 Billion his stake is around £1.2 Billion giving him a personal wealth of around £2 Billion.
He’s a Wakefield bloke and is very interested in sport, he doesn’t strike me as the type to retire to his garden'"
Let’s be honest. If Parkin were to come to the table even as a hobby to invest then it wouldn’t take much to get trinity up towards the top. It would be likely if the current directors were kept on to efficiently run the club that it could become a success story on and off the field.
The likelihood is slim as if he wanted to I’m sure he would have but maybe after the sale he’s looking for another hobby or side project.
I genuinely feel with some investment we could become a club capable of challenging on and off the field the best in the competition. With IMG and coming changes the sport could be dragged through into a more lucrative era in terms of financial rewards too.
Head in the clouds stuff maybe, but how nice would it be for someone to have the desire and the financial clout to come in and transform us. No disrespect to the current regime who run a tight and respectable shop.
