| Quote PopTart="PopTart"Do you mean you think Ellis only gave his money because Carter is leaving? I'm pretty certain that isn't true. Especially as Carter is now the one spending it until they sign papers.
The sponsorship is to protect the club so that Ellis takes over a super league club not a championship one.
It's clear Wakefield need further investment to move forward. Everybody agrees that. The current board have said that for a long time.'"
Who says he is spending the money that must be your assumption. We have to face his recent history of signings and retentions have not been a good advert for his abilities. If you have been involved in business you know that what the owners say may not be the reality. |

He's still the CEO so he signs the contracts.
There is no doubt Mash is choosing the players. Neither Ellis or Carter is doing that.
But you didn't answer the question. Are you thinking Ellis only here because Carter is leaving or did I misunderstand you? |

The timing may be a coincidence but yes I do think so or why invest mid season because if you want to try to guarantee SL you would do so at the start. The only thing that changed was the official announcement he was leaving. |

| Quote Scarlet Pimpernell="Scarlet Pimpernell"I think everyone knows that we are in the position we are now is because of the money invested by the new sponsor/owner. I think it is obvious to us without sufficient brain cells to know that without this injection of money the current incumbents would not have been able to fund the recent signings that have changed our fortunes. They have had ten seasons to bring in additional investment without any obvious success
To prove this the incumbents admitted they had wanted to sign Gale before the season started but did not have any money. I only know Carter by reputation but maybe him confirming his departure hastened a new investor to come in now considering the timing. It may be a coincidence but it is also a possibility don’t you think members on Mensa.'"
Scarlet my post only applies to you, if you posted more than mere derogatory comments about our present owners on Facebook.
I’ll leave that to you to decide! |

Because Minards asked him to so we can keep the team in Super League.
It's no good investing at end of season when we are relegated. |

Unfortunately for you oh brainiac I am not and never have been on Facebook or Twitter (X). I think you need to power up your grey cell because there are obviously others more vociferous members on Facebook for you to trace. |

We will have to agree to disagree but the important thing is that we survive and that the takeover goes ahead. |

So M C and J M get a no credit (think that is who you mean when you use the word incumbents) for finding a new invester , Do not think any investors would have stepped forward 10 year ago when we had a club that was millions of pounds in det, and a crap ground ,wait i forgot think M C did it.Agree there was a lot of money wasted on players at beginning of this season ,that could have been spent on L Gale.but Some fans would have not been happy with that .I admit i did not want him at the club and following on from the making Gaskell our 6 for start of season had give up all hope.But got to admit Gale as brought speed to the movment of the ball , even when out injured .Sorry you have not got sufficient brain cells( your words not mine)you should put it down to old age like me .Keep mind active by going on Clash of Clans give it a go ,it works for me |

So why respond to my post which was clearly not aimed at you?
Think you’ve got a bit of a chip on your shoulder! |
