He does deserve some credit for that.

What he has done by doing that is take the pressure off the takeover. It doesn't have to be rushed as he has done what needs to be done this year.

I don't really know why people are so bothered for it to be rushed.

It’s based on fear that it will be cocked up again when we are so near. I just hope the incumbent isn’t pushing Ellis into a corner because if he walks then so does our future because we need his type of investment to help us compete at the top. I regret accountants are not business people, they help maximise a company’s profitability but do not actually generate any of the actual income.

There are no winners in these discussions. Jm put last few years keeping trin afloat and hopefully new man taking us further. If these people looked at this forum I won't blame all for walking away. Only a week ago I'm put out a statement where we are at now.so for me just bloody wait and see the outco e and not upset them that actually know what is happening

Ellis deserves credit for stumping up the cash to give us a chance of still being in the fight by financing many of the new signings. I wonder how many think that JM would have been able to do the same and what position would we be in.
I just wish we could get Ellis’s side because all we have is what the current incumbent because I have not read anything from MC is saying and then maybe the uneducated supporters and those who believe themselves to be superior will be able to make an informed decision. I just hope that we the uneducated should it happen will be able to understand all the intricacies and make up our own minds and not be like sheep and follow wherever they are told to go by the current incumbent Shepherd.

So, anyone who has a different opinion to you, then it’s Baa Baa Baa

I'm wondering what 'decision' you feel you need to make?
I'm not sure but I'm thinking you are not part of the takeover....are you?

It's an interesting debate is this but let's cut out the personal insults please.
We are all on the same side after all, WTRLFC.

Echoing Legend,JM stated quite recently that in his opinion the takeover was progressing as expected and just needed more time.Not being eligible to go to the meeting myself,I have read the comments of those that went and nothing untoward seems to have been said.(I think someone said that parts of the meeting must remain confidential and I accept that.Has something significant changed?And if not, why has this meeting stirred up so much bitterness and arguing that it is starting to overshadow tomorrows massively important match? Let's get behind the team.

I can tell you nothing in the meeting about the takeover was controversial or anything that contradict what JM said on video. The confidential part was more to allow people to discuss things openly.
