I have not seen any of the other posts so i will take your word on it. I was just trying to defend that last comment.

The RFL have said that there will be a team from the Championship added to superleague and as it is unlikely that the competition is going to be expanded. That would mean an existing Superleague club will drop out.
Apart from the idiots that are hoping that the Crusaders will be dropped (which will never happen as we need them to justify the extra cash in the last sky deal)

It was not intended as a dig at Wakefield but they do appear to be the most likely team to be dropped on the basis of finance, stadia, youth, development, fan base and Geographical location in 2012. The same could be said about Cas (i do believe Cas to be a stronger organisation) but surely any financial troubles at Wakefield would make a licence bid for them less likely to succeed and Castleford more likely.

I too want all SL teams to prosper.

That the debt appears to have occured in the club's best season in several years and after a sale of shares would be a concern to most fans.

Good to see a lump sum paid off (around £160K). How much did you get for Atkins, possibly somewhere around £160K???

The fact that the club is planning to sign a further player / players is a credit to TR.

I had pointed out that wakey players were being touted around other clubs and flagged up 'potential' financial concerns.

This was met with denial, bile and opprobrium - I did not see a single post from you questioning that rude behaviour.

We subsequently see the likes of Rooney loaned to Barrow and now this latest news.

I know several wakey fans and I feel sorry for them and the staff who would suffer if things got worse. However the knuckle draggers who just wish to write insults are of litte concern. (some are so desperate that they go on other forums/threads and insult me, that does cause some glee )

Your moral posturing is noted.

Do you have anything to say on the recent newspaper reports re tax payments?

Yes it is bad news for rl that any club is struggling with its tax bills, hopefully the rfl will lend there full support, and we can have it all sorted and put to bed by the start of next season.

Do you have a comment on the debt situation?

In what way?

Would you be happy for central funds intended to be used for the development and promotion of the sport used instead to pay off the short term debts of a club incapable of living within its means?

Thats not what i said though is it? the rfl have given there support to clubs that are struggling financially in the past ie london as far as we have been made aware that did not involve any transfer of funds rather using there influence and financial skills to help sort the problem out.

Maybe we could get a monkey to run the club,it couldnt do much worse.

DO NOT FEED

I think Derrett is the name the rest is her title

Now you've done it.

You couldn't have.

Do you think the club should sign any further players? Would that be wise?

What about potential season ticket purchases? Would people be better waiting the 84 days?

decisions decisions.
