| Quote: Billy Brightside "The pitch is evidently a serious issue it poses a threat to player welfare.The RFL need to address the matter.
The ground itself is a shambles overpriced admittance and overpriced beverages.
The Benidorm flats are merely recycled shipping containers, the venue never has been and never will be Superleague standard regardless of the ongoing construction work.
MC announcing his resignation and Wakefield still winless with a rudderless team and an inept head Coach doesn’t bode well for the West Yorkshire outfit.'"
The fact that you call us the West Yorkshire outfit tells me you are in the wrong place just trying to stir things up.
PM me if you want to keep posting and we can discuss it.

| Quote: PopTart "Can you explain what Bretherton did?'"
He was a very good counterbalance to Carter, he didn’t let Mikes narcissistic personality run the rule over everything.
He was also the one who ran the operation elements of the club, stadium manager/club secretary/ticket manager/non playing staff manager.
He didn’t particularly get on with Carter but they both shared the same goal of keeping the club alive so they could get their money out (not that guff in Carters resignation letter).
Chris would often oppose Mike on a number of essential things and it was important that he did so because it kept a check on Carter doing some daft stuff particularly early in their tenure. Chris was also the one who knew a bit about running a Rugby club and had the local contacts that helped the club survive those early months after the takeover.

Thank you for that.
So why has his departure been the catalyst for disaster that Scarlet says?
Because off field we are better now than we were then and from your description he didn't affect on field.
I've no gripes with CB at all. I was just asking Scarlet to justify one of his silly comments.

If I answer that in full and with complete honesty I’ll get accused of character assassination and having a vendetta but my knowledge is first hand ie I’ve seen it for myself, I was in the room so to say.
Suffice to say that without Chris Breretons presence and ability to curb Mike Carters ego there’s been some poorly informed decisions made out of sheer narcissistic bloody mindedness
Now that alone will ignite the Monks of St Michael of Carter monastery to don their self flagellation devices, take up their pitchforks and chase me down like Frankensteins monster so I’ll say no more

I get this totally. MC currently runs unchallenged, and you can just imagine him asking Verity to use less paper clips with impunity. He needs that check and balance in his strong character.

The conversation I had with Willie a couple of months ago, when i was doing some work for him, was that he wanted to up the intensity of training, and was advised not to, due to the fear of a 2016 style players revolt.

I’ve seen Lewis do that on tv before. He’s minutes from death until the other bloke is binned then he jumps up like Del Boy out of the wheelchair “I must admit there is some feeling coming back”!

He probably would say that?
Probably an element of handbags in it, but my info came from a former 1st team player, in great depth.
It is what it is now I guess.

Going to every home and away game as a supporter and feeling totally upset at seeing how the team is performing.

He’s fine hopefully, dangerous crusher tackle penalised appropriately.

Well the bloke who did it had already given away two needless penalties prior to that. he is a lone player and if he gets a ban, he won't be missed after what I saw last night

So he's the saviour and watching home and away but isn't getting involved?
I'm sure he's a great guy. I'm just pointing out that Scarlet's original post was just random trolling based on nothing but a desire to put Carter or the club down.
