Well if you don't want him, I'm sure Saints would always be open to new investments.

Careful what you wish for WF. These numpties would have a statue of Wilky before a true legend.

You do realise that some of the people shaking buckets on Sunday are also some of Wilky's biggest public critics, don't you? Whatever your angry about, ket it go, man. It ain't good for you.

Correct. Talk of being the "Manchester city" of rugby league is wide of the mark, the salary cap will see to that. All we need is an initial pool of cash and someone with the nous to run the club in a proper, business-like fashion. The rest will take care of itself.

While I am properly happy to see this interest one point I have only just spotted in various reports is that in the talks he (or his representatives) have had the club have now been involved.

You'd think that as the club is owned by specific people rather than a multitude they would be involved, the only possible reason I could see for this is if the RFL have basically told Wilky and his fellow directors if you want to save the club we'll handle it and just sign the papers when it's done.

You'd think the Simms will be history (not anti or pro myself) and that the commercial/marketing/promotional side will be completely revamped.
