I actually think the business strategy for the future of the club is a good one… stymied by the pandemic and recession (the causes of which are another vitriolic debate) but… our club is living within its means.. other clubs are not… one only has to look at the demise of some leading RU clubs in the UK to wonder at the fate of some of our clubs. When debt becomes unsustainable or the hobby directors move on??? What then!
That I now live in Australia… should be a reason for me not to have (or not be allowed to express) an opinion on the matter (despite my being a fairly regular face at the club from 75 to 200icon_cool.gif is disappointing. I would suggest that it is you don’t like me having the opinion I do… rather than that it is expressed from overseas that is the issue.
I subscribe to Trinity TV and watch every game(despite knowing the result) and live on Fox Sports when I can… and on my infrequent visits to the UK I have been to every game available… including academy games… my love for the club and the game has not changed since that first game against Keighley in 1975.. it gets in your blood and won’t go away.
Anyway I love this club and will be a fan until I die.'"
Well said Spooki. Hope you are well. |

We are not skint.
We are not rich.
Big difference. |

We've been skint since the coal merchant died in the late 60's.  |

The latest set of accounts would say otherwise. |

I guess it's a question of definition.
I'm thinking skint means we can't pay wages, rather than not having spare cash.
Either way, finances are always tough at Wakefield.

I don’t get to see the accounts … so my comment is a little blind and general…
However… there are very few businesses that are cash rich… once taxes, wages, overheads, loan interest has been considered, not making a loss is a major goal… indeed the liquidity of many companies is measured by their asset value.
If “skint” means we are not raising enough revenues to invest in the business , and become market leaders… then I refer back to my previous diatribes.
