I wonder what they said to him?

more to the point, what did he say to them?

and who translated?

Spencer on Channel 5 news earlier this week

For all his faults, you can’t deny his input and support for this deal to go through.

I saw Keates being interviewed by Radio 5 when he mentioned a phone call from the new owners.He looked and sounded far too perky for my likening, I suspect he has been assured that he is part of the immediate plans for the club

That's always been the case with takeovers, when the CEO comes in all change they get the club run in their own image, Spencer, Keates are on borrowed time.

In his post Hartlepool interview he was a changed man. Thought it was just about the 3 points but maybe he has some medium term security

Amazing how many Wrexham fans are journalists by the way.

It must be the eisteddfod and Welsh story telling in all of us coming out.

If there's one thing you can say about Keates.. It's that he seems to be in the right place at the right time...
This would be another incredible opportunity for him.. But he is going to be put to the acid test..

R&R will quickly turn themselves into a global laughing stock if they attempt to present Keates&Co’s hoofball as a global force.
We were already looking at the lowest finish in our entire history when covid came along last season and potentially stopped us from being relegated to the new low of the 6th tier of English football. Even lifelong fans were running away in droves and our attendances were plummeting. This season has seen little improvement on the pitch.
In recent years, the fanbase has been divided to the extent that I have never experienced before, or even read about, and the trust had predicted massive club losses for this year, even if we had been able to attend matches sometime this season.
Without this takeover, it is difficult to imagine how the club would have even survived for much longer, and surely R&R and their advisors will have realised that the club needs to be taken in a completely new direction in order to bring about success. Stranger things have happened, but I would be astonished if Keates and Co are a part those plans.

Agree totally. My wish list would be a change of manager in early December so that he can assess the squad and then bring his own players in during January.

Yes, mine too. We can but hope and wait.
