When Ted was here it was said that certain people (whoever they were) would not invest while he was there, We heard the same story about Glover and Elston, and i suspect it will always be the same.

The on field issues are a concern but although ultimately responsible he is not directly responsible and that is the difference.
If we get relegated so be it, but I am Wakefield 'till I die, not Wakefield as long as we are in super League, Or Wakefield as long as the Chairman runs it the way I Like..... (I've seen a lot a crap teams, and some pretty dire Directors over 40 years)
I'll be At Belle Vue, or Dewsbury, or Oakwell, or Doncaster or wherever as long as the Name of Wakefield Trinity exists, (it may die before I do, but that's the way thing go sometimes)
Just my opinion.. I know there are a lot of others out there.'"

I probably fall somewhere between the two positions outlined in the OP; I am neither 100% supportive nor 100% critical of the way the club is run - I express an opinion on an issue by issue basis, and I try to be sensible about it.
The things I am critical about, generally, are things I do know something about; I'm not an accountant and I don't have technical knowledge of the financial affairs of corporate bodies, so I keep fairly quiet on that. I do run a company though - a much larger one than WTW will ever be - and I do have some insight into managing operations, organisational culture and sales and marketing; so when I'm critical, I try to be constructively so and on matters I have some knowledge about.
I'm not sure if that puts me on the list of 3 or not, and I'm not especially bothered either way, but I will always be a critical friend to an organisation that has been a big part of my life since I was 8 years old; and one which I'd like to see being successful and adding some value to the cultural life of the city I was unfortunate enough to be born in. If MC can't engage with people who care enough to have a view, he's on a hiding to nothing. | | | |

As do quite a few on here including myself.

Not sure why you would believe that you were one of those three culprits I mentioned in a previous post, I'm not privvy to your train of thoughts so only you know's why. Personally I don't get involved in rumours or speculation and do not get involved in matters I neither understand or know nothing about, having said that I have no problem with those that do, it's what makes the world go round and adds interest to what sometimes can be a tad boring on here, the usual suspects I refer to fwiw are wilsay, kalashnikov and scarlet or what ever she's calling herself now, as I've said before it's difficult to argue with quite a few of their points they put across, it's the attitude and constant berating of the club at every opportunity that I find unacceptable. | | |

If/when we move I'll put a big fat wager on it that we won't be called Wakefield within 3 years. | | |

Now that raises a whole different question...
Would people support a "franchised" team that was to rise from the ashes of Wakefield Trinity should it cease to exist in its current incarnation.
Me, I'm not sure.... | | | |
