Excellent update how can anyone knock that?!
The immediate exciting stuff is on the park- looking forward to the run in!

Thanks for the as expected statement John and glad to see you've had your mind refocused and once again thanks for your efforts while you've been here. Bravo

Good update from John but it wasn’t needed. They already informed us of the process and it was blatantly obvious that things were still taking place as they would with a deal this magnitude. It would be as expected.

Should the deal fall through we would have had news I’m sure or vice versa. In 4 weeks it will be the kit man or groundsmam blocking a deal no doubt. Be running out of eggs at the local shops.

We all want the deal done now so we can start looking to a better future, but frustratingly, these things take time. The extra funding has bought breathing space for ME to make sure he is happy with what he is purchasing. Whilst it's poor form for people to cast aspersions in the absence of news, it's a good thing to make regular updates of where matters lay.

I know in business most people do as JM has done and keep quiet so not to compromise the deal, but sport is very public business with fanatical interest. A bi-weekly update confirming negotiations are still on going wouldn't go amiss.

We should all be grateful to MC and JM for keeping the club afloat and at long last delivering a ground that we can be proud of. I know MC can be a bit abrasive at time with his comments but he and his family have had to put up with so much criticism largely from people who hide behind keyboards. As for the takeover we all want it to be a successful one that will provide stability and hopefully a competitive team so let's be patient. If we were on a 20 losing run which looked likely at one point there would be some urgency regards the takeover but as we look to be in a position to overtake our local rivals in the next few weeks let's concentrate on supporting the team who always say that our support at the game is a real bonus in helping them win. But to be fare to most people on here it's not them that spew bile at MC and JM its the Facebook lot

There's one or two on here!

Do you mean you think Ellis only gave his money because Carter is leaving?

In a sense, yes. Ellis wouldn't pump £xxx,000 if MC was staying would he, or "lifelong Trin fan, multimillionaire Matthew" would have pumped it in years ago?

I'm just saying really.

Put to rest then, no updates

Know Legends of the club are the past players who have given 100% plus to the club, but after what M C and J M have done to the ground for the fans ,Think there up there with the best, It is Wakefield's ground, not some Football owned ground like most of S L clubs who are millions in det. Pity they got to make a statement to stop bad gossip, Leave it to them, if it was not for M C 10 year ,ago and a great job done now by J M there would not be a club to support
