| Coz we are skint and owe lots of people money.
If we don't sell we go under its that simple, we've just freed up some wage money.
Its rotten but don't lay this at Carters door, try aiming it at the real culprits.

Because that is what we could get.
He wanted to go, was a good deal for us in the end.

Firstly he is who he says he is but you don't have to believe him if you don't want to.
Read the statement on the Club web site. Kyle had made it clear he wanted to move on and he would have at the end of next season for nothing. That would have been fine if we were "rolling in money" and could have afforded to hold him to his contract.
But we're skint and had no choice. The problem is when you're down very few people help and there is a queue of those waiting to give you a kick.

| wouldn't it be great to be associated with a club that could keep its players. In an ideal world we would be offering contract extensions not giving players doubt about the clubs future.

Wouldn't it be great to have a set of fans that were working hard towards promoting the club they support instead of destabilising it further by posting negative rumours?

| Think we are all getting too deep now, we need step back take a deep breath and try and be positive.
For whatever reason we are where we are, it does not help to dwell on the past or start blaming people.
Lets stick together and try to move forward, theirs plenty out there wating for us to fall apart and i for one dont want that so lets be positive and upbeat and do what needs doing to beat this problem.

We are in this mess, again, because we didn't learn from the past. We have to look into why what has happened as happened or it will happen again. If that hurts egos, tough.

Interesting to see a swing in opinion from certain quarters that previously appeared pro club when it was Ted in the hotseat, and then when he went swung the other way when he was gone, and now seem to have turned full circle
If I was cynical I would think that the change in attitudes could co-inside with the amount of scraps that were fed down from the top table......
It's our club, the owners (however grateful we are for them, and we are [or at least I am] extremely grateful to them) are merely the custodians of it and must always be able to be questioned. It's incredible how short peoples memories are.
If the club goes down the pan, it would most likely rise again in some form or another in some league or another and would continue. Lets hope it never does go again, but should the unthinkable happen it wouldn't just vaporize - there would be something of value left with this much interest and die hard support.
Supporting the team and questioning the club are not mutually exclusive positions.

You've written everything I feel in much less caustic terms than I'd write. I am cynical though.

This is the issue though, it isn;t our club, it's the shareholders, we may like to think it ours, but the ideological days when clubs were run for the benefit of the fans are gone. It's a business. Ok we have invested a lot of emotion into over the years, some maybe some money, but thats it. If you want it to be your club as opposed to the club that you support you would have to invest in it and become a shareholder, sadly that;s how it is nowadays. I know we say no fans =no club, but equally as much (as is becoming very clear) no investors= no club. We can ask questions but have no right (except maybe morally) to any answers. It may be a hard truth to stomach, but, that I am afraid is how it is!

No, this is where this argument keeps falling down. Spirit of 1873 Ltd does not below to the supporters, but if that ceased to exist, you're telling me there still wouldn't be, in some form or another, a Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Football Club?
Of course there would because, and this is the biggest load of schmaltz I'll ever write, the true "Spirit of 1873" lives in all of us who follow the club. Carter, Glover, Richardson, Walker. They all come and go, the club has been here since 1873, it'll be here long, long after the youngest poster on here isn't around.
