To repeat a previous comment. They communicate quickly when something is needed, I.E. money.

Don't see what your problem is....
The club asked for fans to contribute then and those that wanted to - did so.
They were communicated with throughout the process and since.
There is obviously no update re the takeover and I don't want speculation - I am willing to wait for the club and the potential new buyer to come out and say yes or no when their time is right.
Some of here have no clue about a takeover with all the rigmarole that goes on and needs to be done right up to the signing and handover.

100% agree.
So why not say that.

Thanks for posting that KK.
Maybe - just maybe - It will shut up the moaners and doom and gloom merchants......

interesting to see MC's comment about the "malicious rumours" regarding ownership of the community stand, I wonder if he is considering liable action against any individuals that have actively spread those "malicious rumours" in writing across several social media platforms

No, just hang on there, these people were "in the know". Or knew someone who knew someone, or knew all about complex financial negotiations, involving tax and company laws, and they kept us all in the loop, forcing those at the top to abandon their shenanigans. Yeah, there's no fooling them.

Interesting about 2 separate approaches:

Michael Carter, told Rugby League Live: "Whilst I can confirm that the club have had two separate approaches regarding taking over the club, I cannot go into any specific detail at this stage.''

There is no doubt that the current "moaning and groaning" has caused sufficient pressure for MC to pick up the phone to Matthew Shaw requesting a little sound bite. Thats how it works.

See how easy it is to diffuse. I for one am now satisfied at the update.

PT I await your denial.

Good stuff. Lets hope no skeletons emerge out of the closet and things go through smoothly.

I completely agree. The made up rumours forced their hand.
Where we seem to differ on opinion is that it was completely unnecessary. I'd rather they concentrated on getting the deal done than having to deal with "malicious rumours".
