Did Elstone do enough to justify his and his staff wages?
Did Elstone even bring in enough money into the game to even cover his and staff wages?

| Quote: Egg Chasing "Difficult to do anything when the clubs have the vote on any changes because they will always vote with regards to their own self interest rather than the future of the game. For example, the less well off clubs won't vote to increase the cap because they're at risk of going down, but one of the ways we will improve the sport is to allow clubs to pay the best players.'"
Be careful what you wish for as your club could become another Bradford quite easily |

So could every club. I doubt there are any RL clubs that can survive without money from their owner. |

were not talking about Wakefield's past I replied to EC who puts the blame on lower clubs voting to have self interest as he wants the rich clubs to have the ability to spend as much as it wants but clearly you think £885,000 loss is acceptable to maintain and this is while your club is highly in the league |

Wakefield don't have a rich backer. Their accounts suggest they have pretty much broken even (lost maybe on average £30k a year) over the period since Carter has been in charge, plus bought Belle Vue. |

I see Pearson has come out at Hull saying the appointment and split was a mistake, if only they had listened to Dewsbury,Batley,York,Featherstone,Bradford owners at the time who said this is exactly what would of happened.

You'll be telling us next that it was the self interest of the top 4/5 SL clubs that got him the gig, The fans of whom, blame the "small" clubs for holding the game back 
There is one thing for sure, RL faces some serious challenges in the short, medium and long term and as a sport, we desperately need to be making some good, positive choices.
There will always be self interest form the big clubs steering the game but, there needs to be some long term vision and a leader who can help implement and changes that are required.

So all in of this we have to conclude that at this time there is no evidence to suggest that Elstone has brought a single penny into the game despite being in the job over 2 years and on a allege salary of £400,000 plus his staffs money
