Quote: try scorer "It's amazing how the avenger digs in when he thinks someones got a few years behind em he's attacked me with a similar venom now he's on to brian smith , I'm suprised at your remarks bren in my view I'd much rather believe the aussie version of things than that of carter and his partner who I think are two unpleasant men and I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw em.Back to you avenger , presume your not in my day for nobody wbut ould have insulted me pick on an old guy if you get pleasure out of it 20 yrs ago you'd have been stretched out , no I haven't been drinking nor am I dreaming'"


Can I have that last bit again, in English please!

It's got nothing to do with age fella and everything to do with spouting absolute rubbish (in your case) and bile (in Brian Smiths).

please give it rest with the ridiculous in my day you'd be "stretchered out" and "you'd be spitting blood" boasts, you sound like Uncle Albert from Only fools and horses.

Quote: Wakefield No 1 "Full control..

interesting particularly this bit.

Quote: Wakefield No 1 "“He wanted to take over the club, but could not come up with any feasible, written business plan,” Carter said. “It was all ‘let me take over the club’. When we asked for some business plans and a written formal offer, there was never one forthcoming. If you are making an offer to buy a business you’d expect to see that in writing. He did want to take over the whole place. That was featured in a number of arguments around January time. He did want to take over the entire club, but never came up with anything formal in writing. A lot of arguments centred around that.”

Carter said Jon Flatman, who left his position as Wakefield chief executive earlier this year, had been working alongside Smith on the ex-coach’s proposal. Smith has been critical of the way Wildcats are run in a series of posts on social media since his sudden departure."
'"


Who the hell is Jon Flatman?

He's a much travelled Rugby administrator who's spent time at London Scholars and Hull FC to name but two.

Smith and flatman spend time working on a proposal but submit no plans. And then Smith leaves the club because he wasn't given what he wanted.if MC said give me a plan then why wouldn't Smith do that and then leave citing that. And why would he waste his time with flagman if it wasn't a genuine plan to take over.

Someone's lying!

So BS had to be convinced to coach us after the MPG but then wanted to buy us?

MC has said many times on Twitter that he would sell for a pound but no one is interested, well BS was but it didn't happen because he didn't have a business plan.

You can't make this up!

In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats! They're eating the pets!:18686.jpg



I dismissed this posters suggestion from last Tuesday, but after reading that, there appears to be a lot of truth, & for that I apologise.
Quote: BOJ04 "He wanted to buy and or invest in the club an was denied so left!!!!!
that's the reason I just got told over here in Australia from someone well connected with the club.'"


It’s all getting a little squalid listening to plans going on regarding the future ownership of the club, whilst the ones who actually give a toss are served up sub-standard performances for our delectation.

I’m sick of hearing the same old line “Yeah but, without Carter we’d have been doomed, he even put his house up as collateral”. Maybe he did, but it wasn’t to save the club, if it had gone bust (again) he would have lost a lot of cash. He knew how the club worked & how he could cut costs, which he did, then lo & behold the Sky monies increased.

The players may be on comparable wages to other clubs, but if Wakefield’s answer to Gideon is still in austerity mode, maybe their conditions of work don’t inspire giving that extra effort.

Sell if for a quid icon_lol.gif .

Why did MC ask BS if he had a business plan? If BS had wanted control has said, surely he was going to put up some cash? not so long ago I thought MC was looking to offload Wakey.Has this all now changed as things seem to be moving on the Stadium and also the adjoining land that is up for sale? This saga just gets stranger and stranger. Will there be a full and frank statement put out by the people involved to clear the air, Wakefield Trinity fans deserve a full explanation .

I would have thought anyone wanting to buy/invest in a business would have a plan !!!! and I would think anyone being asked to sell or allow investment into their business would want to see one. !!!
