Nice Post and I'm sure you are not alone but you know there are no directors on here right?

How old do you think I am for crying out loud!
Hopefully someone will get a message across to them if they can’t read as well.

One of the directors does read this

We have three directors but only one is to blame for this terrible squad. Things will not improve whilst ever he signs players.

Sadly, one of the most heartfelt and sincere messages that I've seen listed on this forum in my eight years on here. No anger, no venom, no sarcasm, just a good and honest post. I agree wholeheartedly with what Manuel states and just to rub salt in the wounds all this in our 150th year when we should be celebrating, and my sixty seventh year as a supporter. Very, very sad. Come on someone down at Belle Vue. Give manuel and ALL other supporters some explanation please. We deserve one.

things will not improve while he leaves COMPLETELY and not hangs around in the background

A good post and mirrors what we all feeling.

Up the Trin

Give over they are all over this board and even if they weren't there is plenty of the Carter police willing to inform him

You will not get explanations only excuses and pointing the blame everywhere except his own ineptitude on running a rugby League club

A very good post Manuel.

We are a hurting, and some following a lot longer than others.

Yes the directors should see this, maybe even some players

Great post nothing more to to say been watching them that long as well .Did not know we had 17 more games of this garbage to get to end of season. Now that as make me ANGRY .

Manuel don’t forget you are not allowed to say what you think on these threads unless it’s positive. I’m with you 100%.

Don’t kid yourself, every club on here as someone that monitors what’s being said on here.

Petitions are old school but maybe an option, even an online route.

I’m not sure I agree with this…

we have gone through cycles of decency… apathy… relegation… promotion… excitement… boredom… reasonable league position… poor league position… rank bad league position… and that’s just in the 49 years I have been supporting the club… literally hundreds of players have worn the beloved shirt in that time… tens upon tens of coaches, elected club officials and company board members… the cycle of excitement and optimism countered by disappointment and apoplexy has been constant…

Each coach… each owner … has done the best they can with the resources available.

But for the majority of that time… one thing has been particularly noticeable… the cycle of boom and bust… teams have been built… but the ‘holy grail’ of success has not been forthcoming… crowds and investment have not allowed for that to be sustainable… debt was built.. resulting in an unacceptable financial strain… which at various times has led to the ground being sold… star players capitalised… areas of the ground being deemed unsafe and closed down… making Belle Vue a grim and unattractive place to fans, players and investors alike.

There are no queues of philanthropic millionaire RL fans or entrepreneurial businessmen, waiting in the wings… that’s just fantastical thinking … deluded thinking!

The only way forward is to apply sound business principles, which secures the name and the club for future generations of Wakefield people. Unlike previous regimes, that’s what the current board has done… sound business principles to operate within a sustainable budget… sound business principles to (finally) secure the ownership of Belle Vue and enable the gradual transformation into a 21st century stadium.

And this has been through a period of history which has seen investment in the sport in the UK slashed, a pandemic which crucified short term development thinking… conflict in Europe and Brexit which has grossly affected and impacted supply chain vale and matériel costs.

On this side of the world the investment in League is going through the roof… yes it means that more and more players are coming through the system , but their salary expectation even at lower levels in the game are beyond the British game’s means. E.g. I just watched an NRL reserve game between Bulldogs Reserves and Newtown Jets (Sharks reserves) and it was better… skill, intensity, speed… than any SL game I have seen this year.

Sure I’m disappointed, disaffected and ready to point the finger of blame, but posts like this thread… are little more than an adult writing to Santa or praying in church on a Sunday … cathartic maybe, but ultimately a waste of time…

Currently we have a down cycle… and its circadian rhythm is in time and in tune with ‘cost of living crisis’ … general feeling of instability internationally and within politics… a pervading lack of trust of anyone in authority…and a media fed fear of conspiracies.

There will be an up cycle… the dawn will follow the night… maybe not tomorrow, next month or next year (even)… but it will come.
