| Quote Prince Buster="Prince Buster"Alf has retired for all intense and purposes, he has a £6m pound yacht on the med with a full time crew. Matt is running the company now and he is very wealthy in his own right. This is how I understand the situation.
How many years have we heard the comments of our directors saying that they don't have the money to compete with the owners of the big clubs. How many times have we heard there is no one out there willing to take on the club and if there was Michaeal Carter has said he is willing to sell it for a pound.
Then along comes a Barnsley lad, who went to school in Wakefield and now lives in the City. He is very wealthy and keen to take over and suddenly one of our directors seems very reluctant to let go. Michael Carter has done quite a few things wrong in his time in my opinion and most of that has been to do with the rugby side of things. In all fairness though he stepped in and put money into the club. I also feel he is more than happy for Matt Ellis to take over and this deal would have been done by now if he had sole control of the club.
I wish Matt Ellis would take over tomorrow because I feel our club is slowly going down the pan and needs fresh life and investment urgently.'"
Didn't know Alf has a yacht.
I wonder if he requires any maritime security assistance

Which director is that then? - just curious, because JM publicly stated a couple of weeks ago that NO-ONE was blocking the deal? You obviously have some evidence that this is in actual fact the case so can't you share it with us ?

I don't tend to deal with sinking ships, only those under attack, or threat of attack.
Sadly, I think the probability of me working within professional sport is unlikely. You could say that ship has probably sailed.
Honestly though, if I knew I could, I would.
However, I dont have that pot of cash that is required right now.
Thats not to say though, that I may have ideas of things that could be done differently though, or tweaked, or even new ideas, that may or may not help the club

| Quote bellycouldtackle="bellycouldtackle"OK great so Minards will be left on his own, that does sound like a great plan. Mr Carter Snr did put £ 300,000 when he purchased Member shares , top effort. This info is on Companies house and confirms that others purchased £ 49,500 of member shares. As a say top effort from all concerned. I seem to remember that we purchased a lawn mower, no idea what the rest was spent on. Pretty sure it was not used to start paying back the council loan or the Covid loan, maybe it was used to cover some of the trading losses.'"
I think that the £49,500 was from the people who signed the girder

Yes correct, if you go on companies house they are named, brilliant effort by them, mostly £ 500 and £ 1000 purchases of member shares.

| A lot of the members money went on a sink hole which allows us to use our own water for watering the ground without the cost. Will pay for itself.

Are we using it to nurture the money tree?

Lol. I guess it will.
It's in its infancy though, so it's only growing £1 notes at the moment.
