Oh before I forget. This £10M + asset has not been provided by those two. Each and everyone one of us that pay our local taxes to WMDC along with all other contributors in the LA ,have contributed to deliver that.
Anyhow, bye bye MC and JM , bring on the new chapter

Fully agree with all of that.

Ironically, weren't we in the middle of a takeover when we travelled to Catalans in 2011.

Despite all the off field goings on, we won.

Some of what he said in the article will be true but some of it is certainly bending the truth and he glosses over some key points.
He said he will give away his shares and then in not so many words says that he wants his directors loans back which is contradictory.
The covid loan came out of nowhere as he previously said that we didn't need and had not take one so yet again the fans have not been told the truth.
Claiming that we now have a £10 million pound asset is laughable, just because something costs circa £10 million to build does not mean it is worth that. An actual rugby stadium in itself is effectively worthless as it cannot be bought and sold like normal property such as Houses can so the main value is in the land itself and if people are claiming that to be worth £10 million then they are in cloud cuckoo land. Also if you were getting a £10 million pound asset for the cost of taken on about £4million in debt the business people would be queuing up to make a profit. I am sorry but the maths simply do not stack up.

Good grief!
You’ll be wanting a crowd funding page set up to raise funds for the erection of a huge statue of you with your head held high with a plaque below of how you and others fought to bring down evil tyranny at Wakefield Trinity.

all most fans want is some HOPE, hopefully a new chapter is here shortly where the club and team make this city proud again

Why not give them the chance to sort it out then instead of speculating about it when obviously you have no idea what is actually going on?

Well that's good to hear. I wonder if he has endorsed or even dreamt up the Fifita move? Also, has the change in heart to deal with Crofty's and Shaws agent maybe driven by the fact that the current blockers are being removed?

Fingers crossed for what might be upcoming.

Altofts, Directors loans and shares are two different things? Not sure what is contradictory.

I am well aware they are 2 different things but saying you are giving your shares away but still wanting directors loans back in effect means that he isn't giving the club away for nothing like he is making out because in order for him to give away his shares he wants his loans paying back.
