Rumours Circulating On Social Media

That Wakefield Trinity owner Matt Ellis is interested in buying the club , I don't know if anyone on here has seen these rumours posted on a major social media site .

I'm not in the know but whilst Matt is a Barnsley fan and a Staincross lad the interviews I've watched since he took over at Trinity indicate that he fell out of love with football 20 years ago because of the way the game was going and it's highly unlikely he'd be interested now .

He's enough on his hands as it is with running DIY K itchins and Wakefield Trinity , the other thing is that whilst Matt is a very wealthy man he's not someone likely to want to throw millions of pounds down the drain on a league one club without a hope of getting a single penny back .

He will get his money back minimum at Trinity should he sell it on sometime in the future because it will be competing at the highest level for the trophies on offer and have Trinity in the top 4 biggest clubs in Rugby League .

It's virtually impossible to do that at Oakwell in football terms .

Matt's whole life is his business and Wakefield Trinity and the rumour is about as likely as De Gevigney getting called up to the French World Cup squad in the summer .

I have seen the rumours but I would be very surprised. Finances in football are a complete mess and even in league 1, clubs are losing millions and millions every season.

This is the thing Nerf , whilst Matt Ellis is an extremely wealthy man , reported to be worth around ?190m however in football terms he's not wealthy enough and that's assuming he's interested at all .

Football clubs today aren't really looking for new owners what they are looking for is someone to throw away millions of pounds of their personal wealth in order for their clubs to compete .

Matt Ellis was dismissed instantly by some posters on the bbs because his wealth didn't match up to football expectations , the incredible job he's undertaken at Trinity , doubled the attendances in two years , doubled the ST take up , improved the stadium and match day experience beyond all previous recognition and delivered success on the field wasn't even considered .

If some fans are now programmed to only be enthusiastic about owners who are prepared to lose millions of pounds in order to satisfy the demands of league one clubs competitiveness then football is in a really dark place and some fans need to give their heads a shake .

This kind of model is unsustainable and what's more the likelihood of more Paul Conway's entering the game with the capability to destroy them is in play .

It's actually shocking to see some fans dismiss Matt Ellis because he's not as wealthy as Neerav when you take in to account what Matt has done at Trinity and what Neerav has done here , blows my mind in all honesty .
