No it doesn't make you as clever as me
If you dont think the business is failing well there is no point in even discussing it.
Enjoy the game at the weekend,I'm sure the same points will be being brought up again by xomeone else.

Well first of all I'm glad you've got something to smile about, never had a problem with TRB and if you were a fan of the club neither would you, but it's noticeable your bitterness still sticks out, and if I remember rightly that was your nickname for him not mine.
I see your still as bitter as ever towards Carter, but we'll keep that between ourselves for now anyway, MCslovechild somehow doesn't have the same ring to it as mopseyslovechild does it

It wasn't created to give snide comments just take the mick out of you till I got bored, that's why I blocked you on the phone as well cos I was sick of your whinging about Carter and Kear oh and the way your rocky was treated, which I suppose that's why the character assassination, anyway good luck darn lane old boy

don't bother with the reply it won't do either of us much good.

Once more......we are a small business with limited income.

Anyone putting money in is not an investor they are giving funds with no hope of a return.

We have sponsorship who gain advertising and as far as I know (which I don't really for sure) we aren't doing bad at this compared to other seasons

We are customers, nothing more. Supporters groups are an idea that always gets raised but if you take RLfans as an example, much as enjoy debating on here, I would not want the vast majority anywhere near making decisions for the club.

point proved, hook, line and sinker
Old boy and remember mud sticks

I see somebody started a new thread on the possible return of John Kear to the club, do you have any thoughts you'd like to share on that Old Boy

Stop now both of you.

As I read this, fans are panicking because we are in a hole on the field once more.

There are two sides to Trinity: on the field and off the field.

Off the field is MC's arena. The club is in a better position than for years. We own the ground. We are financially stable (so everyone says). The ground is about to be redeveloped. MC and Mindards have done a sterling job and they should carry on.

On the field, not so good. The only criticism I can level at MC, if I really tried, was that he stuck with Chester for too long, but Chester's good couple of seasons probably gave him brownie points that bought him a season longer than perhaps should have been the case. As for Willie, we don't know if the club finances dictated his appointment, rather than advertising for someone with a greater pedigree. If it was finances, then that is just how it goes. It is hard to blame someone for on the field situations, however, when that is not his arena or forte.

As for attracting investors, there is no such thing in rugby league. Investors expect a return on the investment. Anyone who pumps money into a rugby league club does it as a hobby with money they don't mind losing. So, is it MC's fault no one is offering to waste millions of pounds? Unlikely to be a queue of people.

MC I've no issue with and I hope we don't lose him. I prefer stability over anything else. I just wish we hadn't made the same mistake as so previous years, appointing someone who is really just an assistant on the back of a sacking bounce.

A point that been laboured on here but it's clear, whoever 'invests' in the club will only ever be a wealthy fan. No business person in their right minds would 'invest'. There will be no return on that 'investment'. Carter has said many a time if anyone wants to buy the club for a notional figure they can. Guess what, there have been no takers. That says it all.

Do I think he's faultless, no, he's clearly good at what he does. Looks after the pennies and runs rhe club on a tight ship. He was an ideal owner when we were fire fighting. Sadly that only goes so far, I don't think he's the man who has the flair to take the club beyond perennial strugglers, but as with the point above, there isn't exactly a great big queue of 'White Knights' (cough, cough Eric France).

I'm not sure what 'put up or shut up' exactly means. He's not exactly saying he's either has the cash, or indeed if he did, has any inclination he wants to spend it on the club.

One of our old suitors, Steve Parkin, is about to sell Clipper Logistics for £1.3 Billion which he’ll add to his current estimated wealth of £500 Million. Alongside his other assets he’s set to be worth around £2 Billion by the end of the year or early 2023.
I wonder if anyones picked up the phone or typed him an email, just on the off chance

He was only interested when he thought he could get Guisley to Newmarket and only if we were in SL, and if he gets that amount and he wants to never see any of that money again I reckon Leeds Utd would be on his radar. Still you make a good point. He can only say no so nothing to lose.

Not true,
He promised to pay every penny of the Richardson/Pearman debt which was substantially over £3 Million
He also pledged to invest in the stadium and build a training facility that would rival a Premier League club
All he asked of the RFL was for a promise that they wouldn’t watch him spend his money and then remove Wakefields Super League licence. That’s not unreasonable given that if they relegated Wakefield he would have spent all that money for a Championship Club and taken him for a mug
Rugby League is not awash with people who have his level of wealth and for the RFL to refuse to offer any assurances and see him walk away from Wakefield and the sport was simply unbelievable.

Yes he wanted to move the Guisley 1st team into the stadium but I don’t think there was anything wrong with that at all.

I almost dare not imagine what the last 14 or 15 years could have looked like had Nigel Wood just said, off the record Steve we won’t relegate Wakefield.
