whats this to do with wakie?

[Kip Tiger]

This was the bloke that owned Belle Vue. Didn't he buy it for around £700K in 2016 and then Wakie Council loaned the pussycats £3m to buy it back in 2019 ?

He’s been a bit of a lad by the look of it.

He wasn’t the club owner, he owned the ground after buying it off the BOI. We paid him (apparently) extortionate tent.

Was it a Marquee signing?

There is still a lot more to this than meets the eye, I suspect.
Why did WMDC loan/give Wakefield Trinity £3m to buy an asset valued at £1.5m? It just doesn’t make any sense (unless of course someone was benefiting from such a deal within WMDC).
The timing of that deal is also suspicious - literally a month before Hussain’s assets were frozen.

I think it’s fair to speculate that WMDC and the club were desperate to buy back the land because they knew exactly what was going to happen to Hussain. And because they were so desperate, they caved and paid him twice as much as it is worth. The issue is that this was public money being used to buy land at an inflated price from someone who was the subject of a police investigation.

The big question is - who was in on it with Hussain, and who else eventually profited financially from this mis-use of public money?

[Piquad1]

The plot thickens. I wonder if Putin knows owt.

[nottinghamtiger]

Wakefield’s accounts to November 2019 show that they took a £3.2m loan to buy an asset that was valued at £1.7m. They have paid nothing of that loan back.
So again - why would WMDC loan the club £3.2m to buy something worth £1.7m? Why would the club buy an asset worth £1.7m for £3.2m? And why is this not being repaid?

This £3.2m is public money. There needs to be some serious questions asked about who, within WMDC, has made the decision to loan public money so that the club can to buy something for double it’s value. Because at the moment, it stinks of corruption.

Regardless of whatever financial issues Trinity may have.
Top efforts by the boys on the field.
So sick of the You can never right of the Saints.
Commentators are dire.

[old cas lass]

They gave everything.
Quality the difference between the 2 teams.

[casjunction]

I know l said the commentators were dire.
Kev Brown however was worth listening to, spoke in sentences not hackneyed clichés.

[tigerfeat]

He certainly improved the sky coverage hope he gets a full time job when he calls it a day playing

In the other game I thought Hardaker was outstanding could easily captain the team next season

[casjunction]

Unfortunately both he and Luke seem to have found their Mojos

[The Firm]

Oh dear......

How's he going to sack a load of players who are under contract

[mart0042]

It's been rumoured for a while, taken with player(s) refusing to wear the data analyser meters and players breaking covid rules.

Carter has backed Chester with more new players than any other team since covid, I counted 4 could be more but he's had no response from them.

Poching is coming at the end of the year to assist. Maybe an Orr/Poching combo?
