I googled him and cant find any contact info.

So did the trust, hence the no-sale...

And how many years did it take to come up with the current numpties? Never going to happen.

[Mr Maureen]

whats his name who owns Red or Dead? He's a Rovers fan I'm sure and worth a few bob. I think I've been near him in the crowd once or twice at away games.

Wayne Hemmingway aka Wayne Winder (Qegs) way way out of his league.

Maybe someone should get in touch with the American based Rovers fan Daniel Williams. Remember this:

It could have been so very different!

It is funny in a very tragic way now that the Walker's didn't sell to him because they wanted more money..............

I am not being funny but I tried to track him down a few months ago but hit the same google brick wall you've hit. None of his reported companies in 2007 seem to be operating anymore either they've gone bust like the US economy or he's sold up. But as another poster stated it's funny how his £67m deal was turned down by the Walkers and they ended up selling us for a percentage of that.

A great quote from Dan Williams when talking about the proposed take over

"The notion that we would come into the club with no other football experience other than being fans and be chairman, chief executive officer and vice chairman is nonsensical."

The consortium that he put together was made up of people involved in American financial institutions, so unless they were lucky they might have bit the dust

I've looked fairly seriously into raising funds to buy the club and have got quite far, but with the current financial climate it is hard to get to the stage where cheques are written for millions.

[ABBEY]

I could write a cheque for a million! Lol! It would bounce like it would do for a tenner tho.

Did a quick search on Williams latest i could find was 2009 , but this is interesting from the Rochester Rhinos forum My link, he was apparently trying to buy them at the same time as rovres according to other threads on the forum. Seems to have disapeared over the last couple of years though

Just had to buy a new washing machine so count me out.

Where is Cheshire blue? Sure he could buy us outright!

One of us needs to win the Euro Millions.

Or the Powerball. Let's see if I won what would I do?
