The thing about the Michael Carter/Wakefield red herring is the deliberate lack of detail coming from Mr Carter.
Months ago Wakefield fans told us that Michael Carter was told if they go in to admin the would be relegated to C1. This over the months has morphed in to what we see now where it seems Mr Carter approached the RFL with a plan to simply write off debt they could pay but didnt want to (we now know this as fact because.......well..... they have paid them)and were told if they could end up in C1
This wouldnt have happened by a forced demotion by the way. It would have happened because when Wakefield 1873 ltd (which i think is the holding company name) went in to admin, it would lose its member status, The RFL and other clubs could insist that the new member who took that status didnt take Wakefields place in SL, but started at the bottom of the pro-pyramid as any NEW member would. Because thats what they would be, a NEW member, like BBNL are. Even though in Wakefields case the Owners and Controlling persons would have been the same.
Thats not even a guarantee that Wakefield would have seen that punishment, simply that it was a possibility under those circumstance.
