Nice name calling per usual. You're the first one out there to start the circular firing squad towards other fans the millisecond something goes the least bit wrong.

How about we just sit back and let Reynolds/McElhenney and the WST hash this out so we all get what we want- a strong Wrexham side that challenges for promotion.

I would also hope a Supporter's Trust would remain in place post-sale.

Yes, couldn’t agree more.With this current board in charge, we are going nowhere except oblivion.Incompetants at the top from a football prospective.We should have been back in the Football League long ago with a half decent board on the footballing side of things.

We're all for this investment proved by the first members ballot, but dont disrespect all the hardcore fans, who have supported the WST and supported Wxm AFC through thick and thin and certainly during its darkest days. Football Trusts play an important role around the country and its vital, that the WST stays strong and functioning after this deal goes through.

This is a fantastic news story but the fans will still be here long after R&R have gone, if not all of us veterans.

We have an organization (WST) that needs to sell; buyers who want to buy; and fans that want success after years of struggling to stay afloat.

Let them sort out the details; put those details to the WST membership; and let us decide.

It’s unfortunate for those without a vote, but that was their choice.

There is a place for the WST post-sale, along with all the other groups who have continued to support our club through the good times, the bad times, and the recent, not-so-good times. However, the WST needs to decide what it’s role will be, and then create a better constitution and supported by competent and enthusiastic fans.

The Devil will be in the detail.

initially i had reservations about fan ownership i had concerns and those concerns proved to be right, unfortunately, i do have to say i did not expect it to turn into what it did with a minority of Wrexham supporters having so much strength over the majority, that must never be allowed to happen again and it is not worth going over the old argument of "become a member then", the majority have proved they have no pallette for that, myself included, the individuals who have been running the club/board/trust are Wrexham supporters the same as the rest of us, in their way they only wanted the best for the club, they are devoted fans, they have given up so much of their own time for the club, these people are not demons they are fellow fans, i applaud them for what they tried to do, in essence, however with all the best intentions in the world it did not work out for them and i dont think it was ever going to, we should thank them for their efforts and thank them for realising time is up and the best thing is to allow these world famous blokes to take over, most importantly those members and fans who still want trust ownership to continue, it is time to realise time is up, its the final whistle, time to thank the board and move on, the trust should continue but have no power over decision making the owners who are investing should have full power of that but be open to suggestions from supporters and groups, so lets get on with enjoying what will be a very interesting ride

no disrespect griff but the current powers that be can not guarantee we will complete the season, with all due respect what is in place is a destructive plan, by well meaning people but counter productive

Cat's out of the bag now. We now know there's been eleven bids to take over the club. And now one that the Board simply couldn't keep hidden

Anyone thinking, that if this falls through, we just carry on as fans owned, is mistaken..

Mess this up, and many will be done with WREXHAM FC.
