Technical point, but as a result of the CVA he's not 'owed' this money.

There's a bigger issue as to whether that is 'fair', but that's where we are!

Bobby junior ripped our under20s apart at belle vue earlier this year. I must admit that that is the only time i have seen this lad play. but he looked rather good.

Good luck to goulding jr. Welcome to the trin.

It's def his son (snr. comes to most Wire games especially when U20's were playing a pre-game as a curtain raiser) - excellent young prospect; good rugby brain, and good kicker, not just dead balls but in-play as well.

Problem was Wire have got at least 3 in front of him under 25, not to mention a few good old'uns still here, so had he stayed, game time would've been minimal.

Really? Didn't know that. I suppose that puts a different light on him. Anyway it's about the Goulding younger. Hope this works well for us

I have spoken to both him and Francis Maloney about the whole episode and felt quite bad about giving them a hard time.
As a fan, sometimes your club can do no wrong, but when its your job and its paying your mortgage and your getting screwed for quite substantial sums i can completely understand his/there bitterness.
Anyhow, if his son is as good as his Dad was/could have been, we have got a good 'un.

It's like all things especially BV things.

I too feel some sympathy for all the players involved including Goulding. Some took it better than others, and if there was ever a player who was going to take it badly it was Bobby - and he had every right too.

However it was never the club that was at fault but rather one person - a certain John Pearman. At the point these top players signed he had taken over the club and was the CEO. He owned the majority of the shares.

Except - he didn't. All the documents were signed but the money never appeared. Then as it all unravelled he did a runner leaving the rest of the BOD with a team they couldn't afford to pay. Hence the CVA.

Pearman was without doubt one of the biggest con men ever to grace RL let alone Trinity - and he was the ex leader of the WMDC!

So the guy who actually owes him the dosh is living somewhere in Amsterdam on last reports.

Why did Pearman do this? I seem to remember he had land that he was going to sell?

Off Queens Drive at Ossett i think, but did he actually own it?

I think it was off Aberford road - somewhere near to the M62!!!

Problem was, although it was "the club" that Goulding a Maloney had issues with, it was the fans who were the target of their taunts and gestures at that final game at Salford.

And you don't think that was a reaction to the fans taunting them???

6 and 2 3's IMO - and should be left behind us now!

That was the site for the McAlpine proposal - circa 1998.

In an old Express article they refer to the land as being 'a site on the M62 corridor between Stanley and Whitwood'.
