Fair play at least he's trying to do the right thing IMO.
We have always had whack jobs on here "old and new" and sometimes both at the same time.

| Brilliant, if anyone on here submits a question why not have it on here also saves the chances of people sending the same question in.

| Good Idea MC. This way your reaching out to wider audience rather than just the converted on here. No offence like!

| I think the burning question on everyones lips is how much does the club still need to cover the 'deficit'?

| I'm taking it the magical 400k could be achieved through a combination of donations, season ticket sales, lottery, bingo and possibly share sales/capitalisation project?
I also take it that it is 400k required over the course of the close season but what in effect matters is having appropriate capital each month. Yes it would be nice to have the money immediately but what we need is to have enough funds in at each month end.

I'd assume you're correct but that doesn't help recruitment, I'm sure the club would love the 400,000 right here, right now.
Sounds like a song!

| I think the £ 400,000 was a best guess at the time based on the information that MC had available to him. I heard that debt keeps coming out of the woodwork as Glover worked without a paper trail so there was no record at our end of how much was owed to people like bus companies and printers etc. MC is still coming across companies that AG had not paid but still need paying. I presume that MC will be under pressure to put some of his money in or sell the best players, long term answer is put your hand in your pocket Michael, short term answer sell players which will led to a melt down.

| If this figure of 400K is our problem lets put it into perspective. Take a look around at the other SL clubs and ask yourselves would such a sum cause them all the problems that it is causing us. Would they be having fire sales and not recruiting ? That amount is about what Mason cost Huddersfield and Ken Davey didn't even flinch.
Michael Carter has been around our club long enough to have known about and come into contact with all the other SL chairmen. He should have known the calibre of the people that run other clubs, the resources they have and what they are capable of doing. Surely he must know its a big boys game he is now playing and you need deep pockets to dig into from time to time. If he can't do that why has he put himself up for this ? what is he hoping to gain ?

| I'd guess he's hoping to save a club so you and others can watch WTW in SL next year??

I've pretty much stopped posting now but had to respond to this.
What am I hoping to gain? An ulcer probably
I have put hundreds of thousands into this club. I have no more to put in. Let's get that clear right now. I realise it's 'a big boys game'. Wakefield hasn't got one. I put myself up because quite frankly it was do that or it was going into admin. It's that simple. If you and others would prefer the admin route, let me know, it will save a lot of hard work. Without a benefactor this club will have to survive on the pretext that it pays out what it gets in. If that means championship then so be it. But without significant other revenues or a benefactor, I don't quite see what you expect me to pull off here?
