He did deliver Wembley and Leicester though didn’t he.
As for BV he may not deliver but then he’s not alone is he. None of the other previous owners have, nor have our Council, whilst all and I mean all of our MP’s have been pathetic. I’m not keen on RW and I’d never call him Sir but frankly he’s in good company and no worse than the rest of Wakefield’s great and good.
Funny isn’t it that the two people who’ve had the most positive effect on the club in my time have been MC and Kear, neither of whom hail from the Merrie city!
Tells me all I need to know about most of Wakefield’s movers and shakers both political and business. All self interested posers with no guts or ideas, RW doesn’t look so bad or so smug compared to some and I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him. Aren’t we the good folk of Wakefield blessed.
Yeah well, it's one thing delivering stadia where funding is in place, and I'm guessing it was for those two venues, and another delivering where the funds have to be found.
I don't think RW is any better than any other professional businessman when it comes to finding money to build such projects.
I remember him at one Trinity meeting lots of years ago, bragging about how many ventures he was involved in, President of this and that and I would think more of a Figurehead than fund raiser in most.
