Paul Wildes

[jjvale_03]

Just stumbled across this article and found some of the terms used by Wildes, particularly when he claims to have 'sold' Vale, very interesting. Perhaps it's a wrong choice of wording, but I was under the impression that Wildes left the club because he was unwilling to match Smurf's investment, on top of other things?

He SOLD Vale.............This Forum gets better......Smurf binned him cos he was very good at spending other peoples money AND not his own....

[southport vale]

Yes but if he has a friend in Dr Marwan Koukash - he has some serious money - imagine if he had got him on board at the Vale.

Fascinating.

From thoroughbred footballers to thoroughbred horses, eh? Market Drayton falls under jurisdiction of Senile doesn't it? Wonder if they'll run a story!

According to Smurf

[smithie]

He's just a fat Owl.

Didn't he mention about having race horses when he was involved with Vale.But here he says he bought his 1st horse after selling Vale?

Walter Mitty would struggle to come up with a better article.:rolleyes:

To be fair if its where I think it is(on the right just after Tern Hill roundabout) it already has some pretty impressive gallops. If they have a couple of group 1 winners the training fees would be worth having, Pitts website

Interesting too that he's moved his business headquarters there too !!!He did that at Vale and look what happened next!!!!

[Jacko51]

I suppose strictly speak Wildes was the owner of Vale. The club was bought by that Alchemy Group and he is the sole shareholder of that group if you look at Companies House. Don't know where on earth the "sold" bit has come from though. How can you sell summat to the bloke who paid for it in the first place?!!

no he doesn't say that. the use of the full stop in the sentence is very important

 

"He has helped me to avoid the pitfalls and I bought my first horse at Tattersalls Sales. After selling Port Vale I decided I would like to be more heavily involved and, of course, if you do that, the biggest expense is training fees"

 

he may well have bought his first horse after leaving the vale but you cannot infer that from the above quote, which is what i assume you were referring too.

Are we really bothered? I, for one, am not--it's history--let's move forward

[CAVALIER]

He said that hed got loads of horses when he took over. I recall Graeme McGarry telling me how classy some of the horses were.
