This is exactly what I have been saying for a long time,it is the job of the CEO/owner (call it whatever you want) to bring on the investment or get in people who can bring in the investment, it quite simply isn't good enough or proffesional to say "nobody wants to invest" a good CEO/owner gets the people to believe in the product and puts the necessary plans and procedures into place to make this happen.
We are (at the moment) playing in the elite level of rugby league but being run like a corner shop

It's Mr Carter's job !!!!
What do.you think would happen to a CEO in any other business that didn't bring in any investment and just allowed the business to die

MAYBE Mr Carter should get in touch with Mr davey to see we're he's going wrong.

Hello there
In answer to your question unless your trying to catch me out or you genuinely don't know, I would imagine he would join the ranks of the unemployed, unless you have another theory.

Not that I actually give a toss either way, but isn't it a chap called Thewlis what runs shudds? Mr Daley's job is to provide the wedge, I'm sure Jools will be along shortly to explain it from the thread to the needle.

So you are saying Anderson should have taken over from Chester 3 year ago that was when the The **** started to come to Wakefield

The lack of repercussions amongst the squad members over the years has really come home to roost , along with poor signings and retentions obviously. Instead of moulding a fighting force and having Belle Vue as a fortress ,we are more akin to being run like a holiday club where teams come to pick up easy points without breaking sweat for the most part . This simply can’t carry on whatever division we find ourselves in , because if/when we drop down a level we will continue to have that lack of winning attitude and mental toughness as the few quality players we have go to find pastures new .We need picking up by the scruff of the neck and ring the changes asap before we fall into the abyss never to return to the top flight and while our years away lingering in the bowls of RL

Quite right, but those words aren't coming out of the mouth of Carter, he's an accountant and as such can never have enough money, it's the nature of the beast which goes with the job, I'm sure he's doing a good job but the question is, is it good enough, not for some it would seem, pricewise everything shooting up through one thing or another, but whichever way you perceive him to be doing his job good or bad, I would imagine he just cannot go to the sponsors and demand more money because the club like everybody else is having to pay a higher price, I've no doubt the sponsors have the same problems, so maybe it's a little unfair to criticise too much.

But this is his job to do and get what is needed
This is a business like any other buisness,can you imagine any other business that needs some investment to remain at the top table in its field just turning round and saying "unfortunately nobody will put any money in so we will just drift into oblivion ".
If this was a supermarket,chainstore or in fact any other type of buisness the CEO must get the investment or get people in who can get the investment,it really is as simple as that
It's the CEO's job to do this and if they can't we all know what would happen anywhere else

Yes your right PT, but I'm now of the opinion it's extremely unlikely to happen with Willie at the helm. I honestly think he's lost the players - he simply can't be coaching them as they are playing - so they are not listening to him or afraid of repercussions.

I think that you have a rather convenient memory, when you look back at the last 40 years

I didn't mean that he would. Just that it doesn't gave to ve Craig Bellamy.
This team and this coach are capable. They just aren't making it work now. I wish I (and more importantly they) knew why.

We've been near dead at least 3 times in the last 20 years!
