D Turner? The well known removals company owner?
I'd like to see the arguements with Ted et al with him on board. Even in 70s I wouldn't mess with him!

Derek "Rocky" Turner obviously not for obvious reasons, but his son Derek Turner- owner of D Turner and Sons........
Who ever is involved has only 9 days to get this sorted and start writing cheques to the tax-man.

Having said that a board comprising of France, Turner, Walker and Seymour would be a BoD to rival even Leeds.
Man City of Rugby league anyone?

Personally I will live in hope and keep the beers cold, as this could come through any day now.......

Why would people like that (all have proven track records in their respective fields) buy a club and then not put money in?

I think some people, myself included, have been a bit harsh on Ted over the years in some respects. Putting money in being a principle one. If Ted had the money I'm sure he would have invested it, he loves WT as much as any on here. But the truth is he doesn't have the money, and has been in financial decline for some time. Yet he still put in what he could and made the best of the situation- from his point of view. Whether or not it was right for the club and should he have stepped aside earlier are separate issues.
I honestly believe Ted did what he thought was best for the club and has endangered his own financial health in process.

However Ted is almost history, I have no doubt the new boss/bosses will want success and that will require funding.

As if anyone would buy the club to sit on it as it is. In decline and shaken at best. What sort of an investment would that be. That approach doesn't sit with any of the mentioned businessmen.

Derek Turner's son is called Darren, not Derek ... and Derek still works in the removal business.

He cannot even be persuaded by Neil Fox, Ian Brooke etc.. to attend any sort of function to do with rugby. He has been invited for hospitality at Belle Vue, to dinners and 'get-togethers' numerous times with no response. Not even the recent Celebration of the 60's Dinner a few months back could persuade him.

So taking over the Club? I don't think so!!!

Slightly off-topic, but why is that?
