I read that too that it was only the Trust.

However, would they not have to deal with each other in business terms in future communication as the clubs owners. To me it would make future dealings very awkward indeed.

I think this would be SRWs long term objectives, taking the glory not only for a stadium build, but also possible future onfield success.

Hopefully not that green Fil I agree that the characters involved need some watching, to say the least. I also think that if MC and CB walk away from Wakefield Trinity to be replaced by SRW or his 'puppet government' it would be the end of my 40+ years of watching Wakefield Trinity.

The new trust are saying building work could start later this year.
The current trust don't seem as confident but I can't see what other options we have. Am I the only one thinking we may actually get this community stadium finally built.

That's how I see it.

I wish I could share your optimism

What would you like clarifying exactly, as I would hate for you to misinterpret anything

I think it's a veiled question about whether you and Chris will be remaining at the club and what role you will have as owners of the club in relation to the potential new stadium?

I can remember when a certain person was chairman flogged all our best players Nigel wright great player remember him ,then he left saying he wouldn't preside over a clubs that's losing money the club was a mess,this management team has far more integrity and business acumen than that chaotic regime I know Who I believe and support.

Rodney walked a week ago. We are a family at Trinity and I for one will stick behind our great chairman that saved our bacon! I wouldn't trust Rod as far as I can throw him sad thing is this fiasco is our only option. Rodney should be facing tough questions. He has some bloody cheek wanting Chris and Michael out after what they have done for the club. Rodney needs to grow a pair and just get it done its pathetic and kindergarten stuff. I'm not going to work today until Steve leaves the office, I'm not going to my local pub anymore because Billy goes in. SRW ---- PATHETIC MAN

What does Councillor Box say about all this? Thought he was the new knight surely he doesn't need Rodneys say so? OR are these 2 loyal, trustworthy men in it together ???

I'd rather watch the team at Dewsbury than lose the current guys running the club. They'd make a better fist of that option than the two faced s trying to save their own skins.

Wowzer. This statement from Mr Carter this evening has just linked all the pieces together for me. And I must say, what a devious and clever little game the other 3 parties (SRW, PB & YC) have played. Outrageous, but clearly used their years of experience in these matters to well and truly back WT into a corner.

SRW stepping down from the Trust all of a sudden, PB becoming empathetic and finding a new desire all of a sudden, the secret un-minuted meetings..... It all makes perfect sense to me now.

Forgive my pessimistic approach, but I see it in very basic terms:

They've found a way to publicly and collectively show unwavering support for the development, whilst finding a way to offer completely unsuitable terms for it from the off (MC and CB to stand down, revenue constraints etc). Hence when Wakefield reject the terms, they can walk away saying "we did all we could but WT have shot it down themselves.

What MC appears to have done, quite rightly, is say "right, ok.... If they're the terms, and we must stand down, then we shall! Off you go and get the stadium delivered!"

It'll be an interesting next move from the other 3 parties. But the opaque nature of the proceedings suggest that not everyone is working towards a common goal here.

It seems absolutely impossible to me that a stadium can be built from now, to be ready for the 2019 season, 18 months away.

They've operated like a python, squeezing and literally suffocating the life out of the club. It's a disgrace to the people who have worked so tirelessly for absolutely no personal gain.

MC needs to know that the supporters are on his side and don't believe a word of Sir ( joke) Rodney Walkers lies. Even if MC agreed to everything SRW wants there is no way a new stadium would be built be 2019 its just not possible.
