Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Brian Smith is reported to have left for personal reasons -- whatever that means.'"

If rumours are to be believed its more likely to be for personnel reasons.

It seems as if Wakefield is badly run. How could the club lose such a prominent and experienced coach in such a way? I don't foresee Wakefield staying in Super League beyond this year.

Brian Smith had a "frosty" relationship with Michael Carter since Christmas, according to Carter.

www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-league/35765467

Brian Smith is a difficult man to work with, unlike his amiable British brother Anthony.

Coach demands club spends money it doesn't have, Chairman refuses.

How is that a badly run club?

I think that you are right. I will retract my earlier statement.

Brian Smith is the problem.

I think that should be “Was"& "Part” of the problem, but ultimately only a small part of what the problem is with Wakefield Trinity

Smith back later in the year to take the reins at another SL club wouldn't surprise me.

Wakefield are not badly run. Carter has worked his off to get them back in the black. However, you can't polish a turd.

There is a lack of investment whether that be a lack of sponsorship or from shareholders.

The fan base don't help. They have a massive chip on their shoulder and do nothing but whinge.

Not me mate. Haven't you got a Castleford/councillor Box conspiracy theory to get back to?

You lot were even claiming the council had planned road works on Doncaster road to hurt your attendances at one point last season.
