well said mate.its easy to tear things down. its a lot harder to build something up and dspite what a few people may say there are a lot of people that appreciate yours and others efforts

I doubt it will come to that, we can at least hope it won't.

I don't think Mospeys depressed, he may well want the truth and to see the club move forward, could you please list me all the steps he's taken to make this happen "other than crusade on here". As anything concrete actually been done at any point. How much time and efforts been put into this " truth and changes" because i've not seen any, no doubt Mopsey will tell me next time he see's me

Well there's no surprises in there, and yes, we are in a difficult situation - I have not denied that, but I am aware of what is being done to remediate the situation, which is more than is being achieved by the constant infighting and sniping.

I will very happily lend my support to the new owners, if/when we find them, so this is not a love-in with Ted, although I do have a lot of respect for a man who led us to SL and has kept us there for 12 years - against the odds!

We are a laughing stock - agreed.

However, as Phil says you can either revell in it or get behind the club (Wakefield Trinity, our club, not the players, the BOD, the admin staff etc etc).

I'm still getting a season ticket for next year and while we have a club I shall be part of it in whatever way
I see fit.

This isnt a rally call either. Attack all you like doomers but despite us being a laughing stock I dont want to lose Wakefield Trinity forever, as I know 99% of people on here dont either.

But aren't a number of the challenges we have faced over those 12 years due to inept decisions made by Ted and his fellow Board Members?

I am sorry, but I don't see anything to thank Ted for, under his stewardship we have lurched from one disaster to another, and if he saved us when the Pearman debacle happened (again he was only rectifying his own mistake).

He has hung around for too long and we now appear to be at a fork in the road. One way sees the club fold and the other sees us heading for the Championship in 2012. As I say nothing worth congratulating Ted etc about.

Not even a new home?



Not that I personally think that that is the only thing to thank him for.

We haven't got said new home yet and if we get it, its more likely to be down to you, Sir Rodney, the Community Trust and Yorkcourt - don't see what such a vital role Ted has supposed to have played TBH

" Researchers have found that people with low self-esteem are more likely to feel schadenfreude than are people who have high self-esteem"

So he really doesn't like himself - can we all be kind to him please, as Mr T famously said "Pity the fool!"

Ted pulled the various parties together. He was the architect of the team and the proposal and has subsequently devoted most of his time towards driving the scheme forward.

All the parties involved need each other, but my role only exists because of our supporters - I am merely one of them and have nothing to offer but a big gob!

We’re the laughing stock, the fans? I don’t think so.

We turn up week after week, year after year, whilst our club, lurches from crisis to crisis. We aught to have a fricking medal!

I have no idea who is the financial guru at the club, but, they have performed like the 1st team has.

We don’t have a Sugar Daddy ala Quins, Hudds etc, therefore, if the total revenue for the club is £xxxM the costs should not exceed it, and certainly not at the expense of upsetting the tax man. Someone needs to go in and do a root & branch evaluation at the club & cut the wages bill to suit, whether, its playing staff or backroom staff.

But the Wakey fans shouldn’t be a laughing stock, Leeds fans worrying they might not win a fourth GF, St’s fans might not see a trophy this year, and Bradford fans bemoaning a couple of lean years - FFS – give me a break.

As a Cas fan I don't like to see what the uncertainty is around Wakefield and I hope that you come out the other side intact.
