That might be pushing it.....

When they got Fielding they were over 400,000 pounds over the salary cap All the S L teams had agreed that season that any team who went over the cap at back end of season would lose 14 points .But Wigan chairman said because it had not been signed it was not lawfully so Wigan got a 2 point fine So they finished in front of Wakefield and Cas .And the big clubs are still making rules today for what suits there needs

Whole thing is just smoke and mirrors - club was 100 percent aware of the fact we wouldn’t get a a grade , series of appalling decisions - non contracted payment to chris Chester , 3 year deals for ashurst and lineham followed by Michael carters decision to pull out (end of day can only applaud him for what he’s achieved in last ten years) meant the writing was on the wall. We then literally cobbled together the cheapest overseas players imaginable , the lowest cost coaching partnership - all very obvious and clearly designed to minimise outgoings (possibly clearing outstanding loans before relegation and administration ) .

Then signing the absolute lowest cost available players on the shortest term deals - mason hewit et al.

Clubs relegated and sadly the only people to blame are the ownership group

Seen it a hundred times in insolvencies and in out receiverships - even offered my services for free - wonder why the club didn’t take that up ? I have a pretty good idea

yehh but didnt they get a points penalty the year after they were safe by salary cp breach over fielden?

Just read his brief interview regarding his 'Termination'. He stated he wanted to stay on, but the Board wanted someone to get them into the Top 6. That's turned out well hasn't it

The board wanted someone who could get top 6 and appointed a glorified PE teacher.

I never thought we’d be in the position we are in, but equally we were never pushing for a top 6 place with this squad either. We’d genuinely be struggling to make top 3 in the championship how we’ve been playing, and that’s been kind possibly

We are now turning to France for potential new recruits.... https://www.totalrl.com/wakefield-trini ... -signings/

There’s a reason why all the named players in that article have ended up in that league.

Majority of the players named are Aussie/kiwi. How’s that gonna work

Good God what a thoroughly depressing mess we are in......

Back on topic - We are 12th out of 12 with little sign of that changing

Thank the Lord you are here to remind us.

I thought it had not been answered in any of the posts despite the title.
