Just what is keeping the new Antichrist in a job? Serious question to those in the know.

Dont know if its been mentioned before but isnt he one of you shareholders, if so thats probbably why. It will be difficult for him to be taken seriously in future though by you fans i would have thought as he seems to have been a very naughty boy telling fibs on Radio icon_lol.gif Tim Smith is going nowhere icon_exclaim.gif

Interesting that you've become a fixture on here in the past few days - enjoying yourself?

I think what's keeping him in a job is expedience; softly softly catchy monkey and all that jazz.

I wonder if he'll be doing the rounds of the exec boxes and such on Sunday? Somehow, I can't see it.

LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA //www.orlandovilla.org.uk:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_22151.jpg



I've tried to keep out of this and I know I probably should but until everything is in the open I think people should leave James alone as some of the criticisms levied against him and his family are just not true.

Some on here want to be Judge, Jury and Executioner without any evidence.

All I'm saying is please leave the Guy alone and when the issue the Club is facing has been resolved then think again.

I'll tell you what - he's very good at large parts of his job; is fighting for the club; was working to an agreed budget and he's employed by people cleverer than me who have decided that he is better working on our behalf than not!

As SC says, I think many seem to have taken 2 and 2 and come to 7 - all is not as some would suggest.

Give it time and see what comes out.

Thanks for your input James! icon_lol.gif
Seriously I think most fans are just sick of the serial mis-management of the club year in year out, going from one financial crisis to another with the fans expected to bail the club out when those in the know like Elston have come out with mis-truths in the media yet remain at the club seemingly on the pay roll.
A city the size of Wakefield with a long tradition of rugby league (as well as the only professional sports club in the city) in the heartland of the game should have a strong and secure club but businessman come and go creating the roller coaster experience albeit more lows than highs. icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

Twice the club has been put into financial difficulty and twice the same person has been the CEO.

WE ARE WAKEFIELD, WITHOUT THE RICHARDSONS’ WE ARE STRONGER:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42850.jpg



So if elston isn't to blame who is? I can't seriously believe the CEO didnt know we were in the poop before tt , molloy and fozzard joined after all the club had already had countless ccj's and two winding up orders

He also appeared on radio Leeds a few weeks ago giving the impression that all was well again when he must have known we were in dire straits

If he wasn't to blame (which I still believe he must be) then he was either naive or complicit in allowing others to put the club where we are now

His statement after glover took over if we have a quid we will spend 90p also leaves his credibility in tatters IMO

If full details come out that show he has no blame then I would apologise but I don't expect to need to be saying sorry anytime soon.

Quote: JINJER "And Rangi and Clarke aren't leaving are they? As far as I know with Steve Gill he has said from the off that if Rangi wanted to leave the club would not stand in his way and would do their best to make it happen, as for Clarke yes Gill has said that he will not sell him while he is incharge as he was the one that brought him to the club and as far as i know he is still with us, unless you know something different to that.

We're all sick of the serial mis-management but we are where we are unfortunately but now is not the time for witch hunts, scapegoats and hangings without trial.

What we need is to get out of the clag, learn from the mistakes that we keep on making and then make sure it doesn't happen again.

When all is sorted and all the facts known people can judge, but at least they will judge fairly.

when ryan signed for wigan he was offered a massive ammount of money by wakefield to sign as was liam sutcliffe who went to leeds. jimmy came and met me in the mopsey and even if ryan didnt sign wanted me back in the coaching set up on a full time basis working with tony in devoloping players. he offered me a post and work in the community. he said he wanted people who cared about the club back at the club. he crapped on me and iv never trusted him since. hes left us in the mire and if he had any decency would leave the club now.
