Wouldn't bother Matt, it's pointless.

He doesn't have a clue and his sole aim is to try and get bites. Laugh at him and he'll soon go.

So are we saying VOR that we were not offered further investement is that correct? I can only presume that is what you mean by 'silly statements'?

Your statement;

It could all have been ours from what I heard he offered a shed load of cash for more of a say in what goes on and he was told, like so many before him, it was not an option. It's infuriating, he obviously has cash to invest, is it the fact the club cannot bemoan poverty if we get a cash boost that makes them keep sayig no or is it that too many questions would be ask about where it was all going?



I could have been refering to: ''from what i heard'' or ''he offered a shed load of cash for more of a say in what goes on'' or ''like so many before him'' or ''and he was told it was not an option'' or ''too many questions would be ask about where it was all going''.

Take your pick, i take it you have been present at meetings or you are a personal regular updated and informed friend of Mr Wright or Mr Nahaboo.
Or ''from what you heard'' ???

Sorry for the delayed reply !

This guy is obviously keen, but won't put money into a club that he doesn't control. We saw the same thing for years at Wakey - people wanted to invest but wouldn't do so without gaining some control over that investment (and from some of the tales I've heard I understand why) - so we missed out. If he's genuine, which I reckon he is, then Cas should consider him as the new owner - providing the deal is acceptable to a) current owners, b) the new owners and lastly to the fans.

Who knows, Cas might end up with their own Mohammed Al Fayed - can't wait to see the dodgy statue of Wacko Jacko outside GH!

OK VOR, perhaps I am misinformed, but could you honestly put your hand on heart and say that what I heard is not the case? The ones I refer to in the past include for one Mr Caddick, who ended up going to a very grateful Leeds where he did an enormous amount of work for them on ground improvements and investment, or is that all a fabrication too?

I am not saying I am stating concrete facts in regards to Mr Naboo, but having heard this from many sources (some not the most reliable I grant you, but others who have never been far off the mark) I am inclined to believe we would not give one man that kind of power down the Lane.

Maybe I am way off the mark, but what wakeyrule said I have also heard, being a friend of a former major investor at Wakefield, who resigned for the very reason that they would not allow concerted efforts to invest as it would mean a 'power shift'.

I sincerely hope I am wrong about the situation with Mr Naboo, but in truth only he can say. I for one think he is a committed individual who would deliver on his promises, which is more than the current board has ever done. I would welcome a takeover for sure, because as it stands we are going nowhere.

You couldnt make it up. Poor little sheep.

Re: Probiz sponsoring... : Mon Jan 02, 2012 1:13 pm  

Pearman. Just be careful. You (like us) have enough to do/to worry about at the moment.

All the best for 2012, within reason obviously.

I like threads about takeovers. For those who want to 'sack' or think someone should simply 'buy' the club, I would urge you to look at the publically available finances and the loans and capital that would take. Find this for yourself and invest some effort, don’t take your mates view over a pint as the truth - it would be refreshing.

Then, add to that the fact that your investment if you chose to buy the club would be so fragile that in 3 seasons, if the markets allow the building of a stadium in GH and the prevailing winds help could hold its own, however if something fickle happens in planning, the markets or the licensing applications in the next round, you could find yourself with an investment wetter than an otters pocket.
If I won the Euro Millions, I still wouldn't want to buy CTRLFC - I probably would, but I wouldn’t want to if that makes sense.
I am agnostic to our board on a functional level - but as for broken promises:
Top flight rugby - check
Licenses awarded in every round of issue so far - check
Strong player development ethos at the heart of the club - check
Financially stable and predictable - check
Credible business plan for a stadium - check (Obviously it is not built yet, but there is equal evidence to say it will be as won’t at the moment).

So, for a minute, think of Widnes in the last round who failed to get on based on insolvency. Not having a pop but Wakey would have been history if it wasn’t for Crusaders this time around. Is being a Cas fan so bad and has there been so much deceit from board level?

I put it to you erstwhile Cas fans, that while we would all like to gamble and see more risk, actually if you are an LUFC fan for instance, that in your heart of hearts you would rather be able to predict we will still be here next year and not in administration, as opposed to mortgage the future on getting to a final this season.
