I think Wakefield should be applauded for who they are building the club. A few others should take note.

No when they pay all the small businesses they left high and dry then they should be applauded and that wont happen

LOL how do you know who was paid and wasn't. At a fans evening when he took over, he said he'd paid some off because it was the right thing to do and other businesses got paid because the club are still doing business with them.

he might of paid some off, most of us do that every year on the mortgage i know people who have never eared anything from your end and are happy to keep it that way its too easy to go into admin in this day and age the club dos not seem to have had any ill affect form it if a named company gos bust it should not be able to re start as if nothing has happened

Bet you wouldn't feel the same if Cas went into admin

Seems to have gone slightly off-topic, I think Poore is a good signing and wish we had signed him (though obviously much will depend on how he settles in the UK).
On the issue of administration, I do think it's wrong that clubs can fail to pay their liabilities (affecting the lives of their employees and causing unemployment), spend beyond their means and simply continue under a different guise. It almost gives permission for clubs to buy success on credit they cannot afford. However, until the RFL are brave enough to do what the NRL did to Melbourne some clubs will risk it.

The previous owners of Wakefield Trinity were guilty of running the club poorly but they did try to avoid Administration. They paid hundreds of thousands to HMRC just a few weeks before appointing the Administrator, had they intended to wipe out their debts this way they would not have paid that money.

What didn't happen was that they just went bust and "[isimply continued under a different guise[/i". The old regime were reluctantly removed and a COMPLETELY NEW owner took over, Andrew Glover was not responsible for the debts incurred by the old owners but in an effort to help businesses that were facing real harm from those debts he paid many of them off. I know that this cost him hundreds of thousands of pounds he was not obliged in any way to pay and he should be applauded for that.

I and my brother were both victims of Wakefields first administration after the Pearman saga so I know what it's like to be tens of thousands out of pocket and lose your job so my sympathies go to anyone in the same situation.

Back on topic, Justin Poore could potentially be a fantastic signing.

From what i can understand of this post; which isn't much , you know little of the actual facts.
You are clearly an uneducated twerp unable to think for him/her self and are either blindly following what you have been told by "someone in the know", are a bitter fan of a local rival (if this is the case i'd keep your powder dry) or have been able to piece together this shambles by yourself with what limited resources you are able.
1/10

Cas fan in ill informed rant at someone congratulating a local rival.
Nice.

Absolutely!!

it seems to have it a nerve with some Waky fans, there is nothing horrible about telling you that people i know lost out when you went under i don't blame the new company for that and i hope you do have some success as i do for Cas the only gripe i have is how easy it is to walk away from debt if my posts are only worth 0 out of 10 i will have to try harder

Poore has suffered with injuries but last season was the first for many that he's played a significant amount. The change should suit him and I reckon he'll be a brilliant signing which should help keep us challenging for the top 8 and moving forward.

It's nice to be able to talk about rugby!

Can you stay on topic please?
This a thread about a new Trinity signing.

Sorry it wont happen again
