A team with no proper halfback!!
Bobbie Goulding isn't matured enough for a starting one, what was the point in signing sykes for an extra year?

Heard the same this afternoon. Without him we have no real creative play maker. I don't care if Salford have offered "crazy money", like for like won't be replaced. If this turns out to be true we may as well sell the rest of our top players, pocket the cash and next years tv money and prepare for the championship. Once there we may as well stay there until a money man is willing to back us. I can't handle anymore of this continuous mediocrity. Without a cash on hip owner I'm afraid that’s all were going to get. Elston should resign immediadlty. Forget all projected season ticket sales they won't happen now, just back to the couple of thousand hardcore.

Don't think you will be on your own there. Having bought 4 adult season tickets including 1 upgraded to platinum feel like we have been slightly conned although shouldn't be surprised as it's always been the Wakefield way to sell the best players. Don't blame Smith as he will probably have gone for a better deal and has the security of playing for a club where money doesn't appear to be an issue.

IF this is true then me and my other half will definitely stall on re-purchasing a season ticket
I'm honestly beginning to think we're in as big a hole as we were two years ago.
If there isn't at least two top quality signings then I will go away and do other things.
Seems like corner shop management has replaced corner shop management!

This is a major part of the issue.

We were told we were no longer a selling club.
Sell a prop if you like (we could manage and get someone to do a decent job)
But our most creative player, and in an area where we are already Desperately short !

Agree with the post, sell Aiton, Poore, Amor, Collis, Kirmo stick with the rest and get players who can do a job, stabalise as a club, as we'll be getting relegated them hope to win some pot tin cup in L1, and come up and down the leagues like we used to.

Extremely doom & gloom I know, and I'll probably change my mind but is probably one of 3 players whom I considered unsellable, if we retain any prospects or ambitions.

It is true and you can had Ben,amor,kirmond and poore to the list of departures too.i agree it Elston to blame and them fans need to make him aware of what we think

We might aswell be in the championship!
Elston needs to go lets use his wage to keep hold of our players !!!

Don gamble on any players comeing, we are in a hole and a big one at that, thing is we carnt blame Elston now, he has been booted down the ladder

He doesnt deserve a job at all.

PLEASE how do you know its true.

I have already bought my season ticket but if it's true they have my money but they will not have me.
I may have paid but I am not going to watch dross - and without our main playmaker that's what we will be.

Not to sure about the others from what am told, but we could have been slung out at the end of this season, but it sounds like we have another season now we have had help

I hope you have plenty of staff on in the morning if this is true as they will be queing out of the shop for season tickets (refunds). I hope you have all been and bought them early .
You know what they say about double glazing salesmen dont you.

Has anyone at the club the balls to put owt on the web site
