So presume where not going to spend the full cap next year despite the messiah's promise when he first came in?'"

| Quote: FIL "He basically says that there are not too many quality players available on the transfer market as clubs are holding on to their talent because of what's happening in 12 months i.e. 2 clubs to be relegated from SL.
He also says that if we do bring anyone in then someone else will likely have to leave to make way. However, he is confident of announcing new signings "in due course", but states that this is down to the coaching staff to decide on who they want. We are currently talking to Lee Smith and Ali, along with Ollie Wilkes, Danny Cowling (likely Halifax-bound though), Liam Kay and Matty Wildie.
Apparently the playing budget has not been affected, despite our financial problems, as plans were already in place.
More to follow in next weeks Wakey Express apparently !!'"
Plans were already in place? To do what? Spend less?

spot on.
Usual jobs for the boys garbage.
Elston...employs his wife in a managerial role; what are her qualifications?
....his best mate from his junior days Hudson as 2nds coach: what are his qualifiactions?
Fozzard ?? Dickens??
All of whom wouldnt pee on wakefield 5 years ago.
I wouldnt mind if they didnt know what they were doing if they had Wakefield in their heart.
They dont so get them out.......total farce!!!!!
No qualifications, no passion............no good!!!
Non of them would get a role on same money if they left wakefield.
Elston out!! His pleb mates out!!

| Quote: Khlav Kalash "Can't say I hold it against Andrew Glover for stating in year three Trinity would be spending the full cap. It was well intentioned. I suspect he's been let down by his management team, together with a dash of naivety on his part.'"
Think this is somewhere around the mark. When we had no money our CEO passed the small bag of money to JK and said 'It's all yours'. When a new owner came in and we didn't have a coach in place, our CEO said 'Here, i'll shown you how to spend your money'. Hopefully AG has learnt from this costly mistake and will employ a CEO who has some business sense and not just rambles on in the hospitality suite about his playing days at Rochdale and ridicules players that he is not fit to lace their boots.

| I always feel that your CEO at a professional club should have the club in his blood.
He's from Leeds, and in the not too dim and distant past, I believe held the same position at Hull KR.
How well they have progressed in the past 3-4 years.

| Couldn't care less whether the CEO has the club in their blood, in fact to insist upon it would narrow down the options. The key is their ability to do the job.

Not sure I agree. To have the club in your blood means so much more than just turning up in a suit and making a few decisions.

Completely agree elston and his missus are stealing a living out of the club. And AG is so caught up in elstons bullpoop he cant even see it! Or if he can see it he obviously lacks the bottle to sort it out.

| Jimmy was right Wakey were crap and that's coming from me a wakey fan. Only telling the truth. Some one tell me the name of the course and the college offering the course that teaches folk how to run a RL club.

A Super League club is a business and cut throat at that. There is no room for sentiment. The CEO is there to make tough decisions but it appears the only decisions ours has made is to employ people who are his mates.
Oh for the days last season when all we had to moan about was AG on the bus back from London i think, having a few beers on the coach!
