If, for 1 day, I was to run the club and I say if because I am quite sure I would be a raving egomaniac as well as a despotic meglomaniac
I am quite sure I would probably do nothing because like most on here i have no idea how to even run a youth club.

You have to be white as driven snow to criticise some ones work attributes ,I too would get annoyed if some one on here told me how to do my job and I also wouldn't have a clue how to run a club.MC has took over the reigns when we are in a bit of a mess to say the least,cut him some slack and let's see where we go ,I believe it's our only option.Lik that old chinese proverb,If you've never dropped a bollock,you've never done owt.

This is getting a bit silly, If Daddy Cool is who he says he is then I would ask him to remember who he is and what position he holds at the club. I do not think it is good for anyone to hear the chairman slogging it out with the fans. Please Mr Carter stay off the forum and release good or bad news through the appropriate channels, this forum not being one of them, you are cheapening your efforts and your position.

Some right ***** on here,LOL someone wanting to have a go at running the club, leave it to Ned and is gang, the honest man side of Ned i love, think its great when he comes on and puts us in our place when we need it. What more can he do,we have a club, tell you what, i have an idea, LETS BACK THE MAN, hell fire who else wants the club,right Ned it is

Remember to take £25000 or mortgage your house before you go to help save the club. Invest or keep quiet and support the club.

I think overall the three articles painted a more positive outlook both on the stadium and player development. It was good that we are at least trying to sign additional players and if Tuscon does not join us the money will be used to sign another player.
I believe all players contract have an expiry date of the 30/11 therefore I expect that any whose contracts are not being renewed will be removed from the wage bill.

One thing I am sick to death of is people knowing it all. If these people are the all seeing oracles they paint themselves to be, why didn't they see these problems coming or why didn't they get themselves involved at some level. I have worked for professional sports clubs (Rugby League and Football) in the past but I would not want to make the decisions that will have to be made by the club. The problem is that now we are in a position where the only policy is honesty no matter what.

Pretty much how I see it.

I would rather be told the situation as it is, instead of putting a sugar coating on it
MC can't win, if he puts a bit of spin on things, he will be tarred with the same brush as Glover/Elston, he tells it how it is and people don't like what he is saying because it's not what they want to hear.
Maybe if a couple thousand more fans would have renewed their tickets when they were £150 instead of being pessimistic, the hole may not have been as deep.
When you follow Trin, you have to believe your glass is half full, not half empty.

Why should I have to stay off? It's a forum. Surely I have the right to reply to any post directed at me? I haven't abused anyone. I simply made a genuine offer to someone to come and run the club.

Honesty is the best policy. The everything is fine and dandy bull crap of the glover/elston era has hardly left us in great shape has it? Tell it how it is, people can make their own decision then. Deceive them and lose them forever.

Two things to remember here, The press will report things in a way that gets the "best" headline, (good news does not sell papers...) and MC is being brutally honest about our position. Its a fine line between telling it how it is, and sounding negative, and telling it how it is and giving it a positive slant. We don't have the luxury of employing a spin doctor.

Oh I can see the Nosey Parker colum now, Wakefield chairman asks fans to help him in day to day running of the club as things get tough. You do know he gets all his exclusives from this forum don't you

I think you've twisted the op's original intention a bit here. As I read it, the point was that at this moment in time, you should use media opportunities to highlight some of the positive aspects of the club (AASE, Newmarket developments, etc.) and their potential for the future too, rather than just dwell on the negative cash flow situation.

That's not spin. The evidence is there to back it up.

And whilst the current cash flow situation is obvious and undisputed, you're far more likely to attract people to invest in the club by pointing out where the positives in the future lie, rather than by painting a picture of impending doom.

You don't have to lie to do this. You can be brutally honest, and point the way.

What he's saying is that there are a load of bleeps on here that thrive on slagging people off and need to get out more , players all season have had to take it now it's you,Santa will be next.do what you think is the best for the club,the majority of people are behind you.
