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!

Quote: deeHell "Heard the same this afternoon. Without him we have no real creative play maker. I don't care if Salford have offered "crazy money",[size like for like won't be replaced[/size. 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.'"


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.

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

Presumably we are skint again and needed some money quickly, otherwise why would you sell your best player to a competitor in the lower reaches of the table.


This is Wakefield: Together we are skint.

It looks like we are back to where we were a few years back.
Elston hid behind Richardsons failing (probably with some justification).
He has been the main man this time around and AG has put his faith in him.
For us to be back where we were per spirit of 1873 so quickly only shows how badly both have performed.
For me (if this sale and its reasons are confirmed) Elston has to resign if he has any shred of dignity, he's had a go but he is nowhere near capable of the doing the job.
I would also urge the directors to get a grip of this situation and act quickly.
Sadly for them to get us out of this alleged hole is going to cost more of their money, but that's the cost of their failings.
Failure to act quickly and decisively will in my opinion lead to a downturn in recent support and potentially further losses.
Time for our directors to grasp the nettle!!!
Steve Ferres doing owt?
