So his appointment was a good one to start with don't you think. It's easy to sit here 3 yrs down the line and say they got it wrong . We have 3 coaches now that have all walked away from MC for me something is wrong at the very top'"
Well, if Bradford didn't cheat, we wouldn't have made the top 8. And when we did we crashed out, the year after (2013) we let a few go and signed Lyne, Poore and one or two. Not exactly assembling an entirely new squad. It was only 2014 when we changed the majority of the squad.
Agar proved it with Hull he's a poor head coach. He proved it with us.

Yep when the going got tough he walked. No way did he not know what our situation was , and as for previous statements regarding heating/coaches to Fev I've never heard anything so pathetic! Lastly he chose Facebook to communicate why he left.....how professional is that?

Ask better questions if you want to discover the REAL TRUTH."
Maybe the better questions and 'real truth' Brian is referring to, he's already raised himself publicly many times? I'll probably get shot down for this, but he's always had alot to say in post match interviews about strange referee decisions/lopsided penalty counts, unfair fixture runs and things like that. Conspiracy, just excuses or something completely different? I suppose only he knows.

What other form of media could he use, I bet if he went to the press you would be on here lambasting him for it. I did not read anything particularly contentious in his Facebook post unless of course you have the need to justify that the club was not at fault in anyway.
I admit it I have no idea what went on but neither do you but yet you are certain of where the blame lies. I doubt it was easy to leave considering he had persuaded players to join us and why would someone who knew they could go at the end of the season decide the only course of action was to walk in resign and leave.

| Sorry SP but I get the impression B.Smith would have come out and said exactly what was wrong instead of some veiled attack. Also where have I said where the blame lies?.....I remarked on comments he is supposed to have made regarding funds "being cut to the bone with no heating/ coach to Featherstone." No where in my post have I said what was to blame, it is you that seems relentless in your blaming of the club .
I think I thought he was more of a professional than to finish the way he did.....yes he did persuade players to come to the club , it will be interesting to see if they are happy to stay in such a terrible place !!!!

| Any that leave would not be unusual at Wakefield, that is one thing we are very good at loosing players not at the end but during the season.
With regards the club next time you go just look around and you will see the state it is in. We still have supporters in the east stand who thought after 4weeks they would have been able to mark the reserved seats to stop anybody just sitting in them.

I think it says that he struggles to accept his own failings and lashes out to protect his own self image.
I've lost a lot of respect for him with that parting shot at the club which isn't born out of concern and is little more than bitter s4!t stirring.
The truth is more likely that his methods don't work in the modern game, an opinion that's backed by his failure at his last two NRL clubs.
The jobs too hard and will take too long for a bloke of almost 62 years old who anchors for an easier life back home in a warmer climate.
Unfortunately he can't be honest with us because he can't be honest with himself!

| Spot on Avenger... the bloke has had his day in the game the job at this club is too hard for him and unlike at Bradford where they brought a whole load of top players in and got into heavy debt that a few years down the line would cost them big time Carter wont let that happen here and its sour grapes because of it
