With the WST forecast for losses this year and the potential for further losses caused by playing behind closed doors/reduced capacity then £1 would be my figure.

Not sure where the £500K would come from, we have been told for years no one would want to invest as we don't have any assets.

Any funds the WST have in the bank should be used to the benefit of the football club when the takeover is agreed. I think legally the new owners have to pay something... so £1. Any funds the WST have is OUR money so it should be used for the purpose of benefitting the club going forwards. If the club folded then thats when the cash could be distributed to local charities but in a take over scenario then most members would surely wish to see it for the primary purpose ... the benefit of Wrexham FC.

What's it going to be used for? To cover the bills of the new owners when they run out of cash?

Sell it for £1 and let them use as much money as possible turning us into a professional outfit.
Money in the WST bank would only go to charities if the trust folded by a members vote.
The recent EGM questionnaire revealed that the members wanted the trust to continue in the event of a sale.
In the event that new owners fail in their objectives the trust need to retain funds in order to provide a safety net.
Too easy for a new owner to run up debts and do a runner if things aren't going right.
I'm interested in this bid but need to be convinced of the integrity of the proposed new owners and the source of the funding. Would also like too see a condition of sale that no debt is carried forward.

That was the Moss argument. He wanted all the WST money pumped into the Youth System. Some top WST people trusted him but thank goodness the majority were sceptical .

It’s critical in respect of timing though. Should the deal not go ahead for whatever reason, (early days yet) I can only see the divide between fans widening even more, which would all likely spiral us into admin before we know it. Less fans being engaged, bitterness etc.

They would be making a net £1.5m cash injection then you could argue in that scenario. Thats fine if thats the deal but lets treat our club with respect.

Do you think,------ The Trust should keep a healthy fund in its balances should it cloud over again and the club is hit by another rainy day ? Perhaps funded by any future sale.

( I am very cautious about a proposed take over group who at this stage do not wish to be known to the membership ).
They are known to the board who were voted for by the membership, as discussions are not even beyond stage 1 given they need a vote and an NDA is required from the club then no reason for nanything to be disclosed yet. If they were not the "right" types then you can bet it would have been leaked by now to ensure a no vote. The fact the board are speaking in what would seem to be positive tones should be more than enough for now.

No doubt when a meaningful vote comes around they will be disclosed as will more detail on an offer.

As for costs - let the WST continue, no need to wind up in my eyes, and keep the current funds and any membership fees. Members can then decide as time goes by how things stand and whether it needs to be kept for a rainy day or not.

Couldn’t the WST negotiate a buy back option then keep the money for that or buy an investment with some sort of income to fund the Trust in the future for different ventures. (Maybe buying a local Sunday league club)
Unless the new owners are legally obligated to invest £2M into the club then what is the point of selling it as it would be basically giving the club away.
