Why the urgency to offload the players before the supporter's meeting.

Have some patience. Lets see what the team looks like come Boxing Day before we start doom and glooming.

Players move on, even star players move on but the club remains and those players are replaced. Lets see when the club are ready to start building a team what we actually have.

No reason to be uber negative based on your own speculations of what we will look like come start of next season. The likely product could very well be much different to what you are anticipating. I'll make my judgements when the squad is assembled and we have the 2014 team ready to take to the field.

As fans we are all cheesed off about the situation but what must Agar be thinking about it all he's also been shafted by the previous toot & ploot regime running the club. Back to Kirmond apparently he wants to stay and not go to Salford and the figure I was told was two hundred k.

Could this be the straw that breaks the camels back? Fed up now.

I think you should be very careful in your application of the concept of "normal".

But, generally, why all the increase in doom and gloom based on something that someone might have heard. Be patient - the scaremongering doesn't help and what will be will be.

It's far easier to blame MC for this rather than AG/JE.


Is it not?

I thought we were 'building the team around DK'? I can take losing Aiton, Smith, Poore, they all had their off games but Kirmond always gave 100% and seemed Wakefield through and through! If he's gone then I can't see the club selling many more season tickets!

i bought my s,t when mc said he would build a team around dk,
if he is sold i will be the first to cancel my s.t ,
the club are doing nothing at all to try and get fans to buy there s.t.
if the club was 400k under capitalized not in dept ,then the 400k as been saved on the wages of the players gone alone.
all it is with mc is money money money never mind the paying fans

hes the ken bates of rugby league

Fair enough but i would ask do you support Wakefield Trinity RLFC or names in shirts?

Don't know what honest fans have done to deserve this gapshire, we deserve better after all the crap we've been through over the years.

yes we do deserve better, el rey , but its true , we are being lied to all the time,
dont you agree,
when he said if we sell 3000 st no one would go, i rushed out and signed up for 2 platinums,
680 pound ,do you think its fair on me now all the players have gone wich i paid to watch.

Forget about Kirmond going it may never happen, it may be a rumour.

However its the wider picture that interests me. We are selling players and clubs
are willing to buy them and pay transfer fees. However people are happy with that
because they think when we stop selling we will go out and build a team with new players.

Who are these players ? and why are the clubs that are buying ours not signing them ?

Personally, the job I have is a very demanding and time consuming one, I am always bringing work home and far too often have to offload the kids at weekends to get caught up. Going to watch Wakey takes a good four plus hours from my family time, sorry but I am not willing to give that up to watch a selling, uncompetitive club that just keeps letting us fans down. I need to see evidence that we want to compete next year and all I'm currently seeing is evidence that we are setting ourselves up to be Leeds 'dual reg' team in the Championship.

Good point Jack.
Of course the Kirmo thing is just rumour at present but, IF we've sold him for 200k, then its good business, regardless of the fact that he's our captain.
However, what/who we will have next season is going to make the Kear squad of 3 seasons ago, look like world beaters and it's certainly going to test the "loyalty" of even our most die hard fans.

The silence from the club on the website is deafening and I have to say that our new management are not giving anything whatsoever to the fans right now.

An interesting tactic for boosting income and generating S/T sales

But if your figure is correct, it still doesn't help the current situation, those savings are for next season not today. If HMRC come calling or the gas bill arrives on the doormat, what do you pay them with?
The money we get from transfer fees, season ticket and merchandise sales, sponsors daft enough to pay now before the season starts etc is what pays the £400k we needed to pay bills (and this figure is apparently rising as items 'come out of the woodwork')
