I would. The wheels came off a bit at Warrington towards the end, but other than that he could get a team playing to their strengths, including changing the ‘nearly man’ culture at Leeds. His rugby with us wasn’t Champagne style but it got us more points than we should’ve had on paper. He probably wouldn’t touch us with a barge-pole, but would you have him back?

Never go back...

Is there anyone decent available? Bellamy?

smith has left rugby league and now works in football and enjoying it as far as im aware.

I wish everyone would stop focusing on this coach or that player.

We could swap Wayne Bennett for Stone and Shaun Johnson for Brough and it would make no difference .

With the shambles and mis management off the pitch nothing s going to change soon.

Sadly it is likely to have to be Ken leaving the club and a fresh new start before anything is likely to happen. But without Ken’s money that may Not be the answer either.

Agree totally

Be careful what you wish for...

I agree totally. The club is being run into the ground.

Sad when you think of what could have been achieved, but I now see a future as a return to the mid-nineties.

Unless there is a major change of direction, we need to get comfortable with the idea of playing big games against Dewsbury and Keighley.

I do wonder why Ken Davy tolerates it. The millions he must have spent, and to let it all slide away? It’s incredible.

I'm not trolling here, but didn't his wife die a bit back or have I got that wrong? Maybe it's knocked him for six and his hearts not in it? I've seen it happen and people take advantage sadly.

one of the things ken davy wanted was an average 10k fans every week.... no chance!!! not many sl teams can improve their attendances by that much even with success.

76yr old now is ken, not getting any younger! dread to think what happens if he pulled the plug but i dont think he will, had many more chances and worrying times than where we are now in the past

She did, but the problems long predate that

He might be in his seventies, but he’s still got something. He’s grown SimplyBiz from nothing into a £100million company since he founded it fifteen years back - it floats on the stock exchange next month and Davy will pocket tens of millions of pounds.

What I struggle to understand is why he hasn’t brought that energy and drive to the Giants. He wouldn’t tolerate the lack of growth in any of his other businesses.

If Ken Davy was to pull out of Hudds sadly i very much doubt the giants would survive in the form that you are in now, i imagine with attendances, the rental and running costs on the ground would be far beyond sustainable with the income generated by the club. This is far from a dig, so please dont take it that way, it is just reality and would be the reality for a lot of top flight clubs - I think as the season goes on, we will see the demise of the devils.

Thankfully for the Giants Davy seems to have a lot of love for the club! MC has done a fantastic job in turning Wakefield into one of the only clubs in the league that is sustainable without someone throwing cash into the club.

On another note to Giants fans- It only takes one bad decision by a club for a few years of doom and gloom, In the same way that it only takes one good decision to turn things around - The appointment of Powell at Cas is a good example of this, the appointment really has brought the club up in the past few years, had they gone for a different option they could be in a whole different situation.. Hang in there! It will get better.

yeh 34m windfall coming his way i read

I have said on here many times that i don't understand why he lets things go on and on in their present state, The club appears to be slowly sliding down the tubes and the only thing that is ever tried to change anything is swapping coaches and trying to buy wonder players.

If we do go down the pan , some would say he is as responsible as the fans who stay away, at least he can do something about it, the fans can do nothing except keep turning up and they have been doing that for 50 odd years with little or no success, Is it any wonder we have never got anywhere near the magical 10.000. with the lack of success and the style of football we play.
