Idiotic for one that is desperate for any income. Apart from that it was actually a good press release with a nice sentiment.'"
And you called me a plum, well at least I’m not a rotten one.

| I have never said he's got a money tree, I have criticised the club for its total lack of marketing and effort in Attracting new supporters
Personally I don't care that much about the players that have gone and the players moving on are hardly turning out for top ranked opposition.
I would have much rather read a statement of how the club will move on and take measures to try and make sure we are not in the same position again. How the club will be marketing itself and not relying on the odd Facebook statement of GAME DAY.

| To me the statement is what it is, we all knew months ago about batch & milky.The only thing was players getting sorted in may,i know they were ooc but it was the lack of faith they might not get out of it.Did they have lack of faith in the club or coach or both just a thought.

| The dig is needless. He can and should be bigger than petty comments in an official statement.

| Quote Dunkirk Spirit="Dunkirk Spirit"It really is pointless trying to reason with some people Pop Tart. Damed if he does, Damed if he doesn’t. Some on here criticised him for not making statements earlier, now criticising when he does. The amount of abuse he receives from some posters on here is appalling, but as soon as he might have had a little dig, those self same critics don’t like it.'"
Carter has a strong personality and self belief, a lot of the anonymous SMALL poster on here can’t deal with it. They claim they want strong leadership then bleat like sheep when they get a version of it they don’t like.
Despite what some chose to believe Carter does not buy the players, train them or pick them, that is the coaches job. Ditto the players, how they play is down to them.
They don’t perform then MC doesn’t have a good product to sell.
He’s a financial wizard but until the team performs he’s limited.
As for invest to accumulate you still need the cash to start with, we clearly don’t!
That said he’s a canny CEO, Although I don’t think we have a pile of cash laying around we are rather nicely placed to pick up those gems the World Cup always throws up. Three overseas players, that’s a lot of wiggle room for WP. I may have been critical of his selections and tactics but his eye for a player has been pretty good.
Could be fun next year.

It's a reflection on the 2022 season so you looking in the wrong place for what you'd rather have read.

What dig? Read it again, he even states he’s not having a dig and explains that he understands the reasons.

| Quote Scarlet Pimpernell="Scarlet Pimpernell"I guess it is an improvement on those who buy tickets on a match by match basis which means if they can’t attend they don’t pay.'"
The positive side to that though is when they do attend they pay more for the ticket negating any loss of revenue from the odd game they miss, there's also the revenue they spend at the ground essential much needed revenue , I'll be specific if you like as being a non attender you won't have experienced things like buying raffle tickets, a programme, a pie and a pint (although not for you as you don't drink) not to mention the joy of watching your your favourite team play, another alien concept of yours I know, sitting in the East stand alone when it's raining because nobody will sit near you because of the hole above your head must have been demoralising with nobody to share the thrill of watching Tom streaking down that wing to score another fantastic try, not the same on trinity tv.

| We have the communication from the club some have been wanting and I see nothing wrong in it personally.
He's only stating what we all pretty much knew anyway, but does say the club clearly tried to keep one or two of the players who are leaving, so that for me puts to bed 'why did the club let them go!'
For a club with little money we move on and again, personally, until that big money provider comes forward, (Shell? BP? - as somebody has said they're the only ones with money to throw about at the moment!) then I wouldn't want anybody else at the helm than MC.

I guess you are talking in generality because you wouldn’t be buying a pint and do we still have programmes. I won’t go through the obvious rubbish you appear to like to repeat foggy, I have not had that seat for sometime but you are correct it is indicative that in all the seasons no attempt was made to tidy up the stand. With regards no friends i actually have quite a few in what was the East Stand but mine are friends not those who appear to just put up with someone.
I guess none of us will be able to share seeing Tom scoring another try for Trinity will we.
I have to leave it there because I said I would stop making you look stupid, I agreed because you can do that yourself. I will say it again please go away and bother somebody who cares about what you think foggy.

| If anyone gets League Express there is a brilliant letter from a Mark Drew of Worcester.
Congratulating Wakefield and berating those that want rid of us.
