"I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league." - Graham Lowe (1995):20201.jpg



I went last night and what I saw made me deeply concerned we won't have a club very shortly. It may well be the case that Caisley had a plan - review by BG, then admin, Tasker and Noble to come in etc, liabilities dropped, share holdings clarified and so on. It was pretty much set out in the press when they unseated Hood.

However, I think the supporter response and admirable loyalty to Mick Potter and back room staff etc after yesterdays coup de grace has unsettled some - probably Noble - hence the cancellation of the players meeting. BG doesn't care - he's a professional IP and will make money whatever happens. But if you believe that Caisley will definitely ride in and that all this is pre-prepared I think you're vastly under estimating how fluid and contingent this situation is now. If Noble feels it will tarnish his previous history with the Bulls and if Caisley is completely demonised and walks away, BG may well shut up shop, take his slice and clear off, as there will be lots more insolvencies for him to make money on elsewhere.

I think there was a moment when we might have changed things and that was at the point of the pledge, we needed but didn't have, for a variety of reasons, an alternative supporters body who was constitutionally able and willing to mount a challenge to the existing board, to call for the money to go to the supporters body and then force some transparency from the Board and negotiate the possibility of partial supporter ownership. I understand the reasons why this proved not to be possible but regret profoundly the fact we weren't able to seize that moment.

We may well have to re-form the club and if that's the case I suggest supporters ownership is the only way forward, as it's becoming increasingly apparent those that live in the hope of some millionaire wandering in to save us, before subsequently being benevolent enough to invite supporters input are being somewhat unrealistic in their expectations.

Quote: Adeybull "Hey, I am not angry at Wakefield fans! Don't forget I gave some help when they were setting up their trust, and like you contributed to their own fundraising. Lot of time for the vast majority of them as fans, always have had.

My issue is with the handful who keep lecturing us what we should have done, despite us repeatedly explaining why we as a fanbase could not. It's gone way past friendly advise, and is becoming both counterproductive and wearing now.'"


Adey, it was in no way meant to be a dig at you or other members of your board. I fully appreciate it is a fairly thankless task trying to run a Trust and persuade even a small minority of the fan base that it is worthwhile. I know that our board are very grateful for the help you gave to us when we were establishing our Trust.

I guess the question I was asking was around how much help or not you had received from SD bearing in mind when we were setting up this is what they advocated for us, although we were not established in time to actually do anything about it.

Sorry if I caused offence, it was not meant. I guess having been through tthe Administration thing ourselves and having had to listen to people painting us a less than true picture of the actual circumstances the club was in, it all seemed a bit familiar.
