Quote The Avenger="The Avenger"I think fans need to understand why Carter & Brereton took over the club and stop projecting their own love for the club and the game on them, Carter in particular.
Having invested a couple of hundred grand each into the club they were forced into a choice, let the club go into Administration and lose your money or take over the club! Make no mistake they both only wanted their money out but happily for Trinity fans that meant saving the club! There’s nothing wrong with their motives or reasons but let’s not get confused with why they stepped in.
Carter then found some gratification in the praise he received and he’s revelled in it at every opportunity. Do you really and honestly believe he was trying to shovel the snow off the lines during the Widnes blizzard? I can tell you 100% that had it not been in front of a packed hospitality block with a camera at the ready he wouldn’t have been anywhere near a shovel or snow.
He’s been good at stabilising our finances, maybe too good but don’t mistake him for a fan like you are, he isn’t'"
A bit disingenuous there Avenger.
Do you think that Trinity have been a net gain for MC or, do you think that the club has cost him money ?
Also, I've personally been to enough events and other stuff at BV to see the guy doing stuff that very few club chairmen would do.
Yes, he was shoveling snow, working behind the bar, attending fans forums and all of that while digging into his own pocket.
There weren't too many takers for buying the club for a quid when he offered it ??
Regardless of whether his motives were to try and recoup his investment, but for him, the club would have been gone so, hoe DOES deserve some gratitude.
Although many fans think that he shows too much loyalty to the coach, maybe that's not such a bad thing and maybe the fans are just a bit too quick (including myself) when losing patience with the coach.
Leeds are looking good with two of our former coaches in charge.
Having said that, you do wonder just how many games we have to lose, before MC and Minards feel that we need a change.
For me, just like John Kear, MC has enough "credit" with Trinity to be beyond reproach
I can remember buying a couple of pints, which he served and joking that I couldn't imagine Roman Abramovich serving behind the bar at his club, can you.
