If MC wants to pay him that’s fine what I did not think would be right is for the club to pay it thereby reducing the money available especially when we are already flagging a difficult financial year.
I shall now return the forum to the bunch of sycophants in the hope that not all independent thinkers have been forced off because let’s face it the forum is slowly dying. I wonder how many contributors the WT forum has lost. I guess because most of the clubs no longer contribute to their forums poor old Vastman cannot go onto their section to enlighten them with his opinions. The club did not help him either by losing so many games under the Chester period.'"
All this is absolutely true
It’s almost impossible to have an actual civilised discussion on here any more

Firstly, this is one of the most popular club forums on RL fans. And RLfans still appears to be popular despite the other social media opportunities. Its certainly strong enough to keep a great free thinking mind like yourself engaged.
It's just down to preference.
In terms of independent thinking, I'm not sure why you put yourself in this category.
It has been explained a number of times why you are wrong about the payment. Your independent thinking is actually proved to be extremely biased thinkining based on your dislike for all things Carter, Chester and the club in general.

I think you picked the wrong poster to link your opinion to there.

It is when you are determined to take pot shots at every opportunity at the man that makes you look foolish when you make sarcastic comments at him, as Willie Shakespeare always used to say, if you can't take it don't give it.

You do know that if you pay an employee £53k it actually cost the employer more than that don't you?

I’ll chat with you in a civilised manner any time you want, I just get the impression it’s the last thing you want. You instantly get personal, at least scarlet and Luppy have something to say, you’re permanently looking for a fight. Sad really.

| From Wakefield Express, just in case anyone missed it.
I believe MC is probably the only person at this time to guide our club to safety.
Reduced broadcast deal set to leave Wakefield Trinity £450,000 worse off
Wakefield Trinity are set to lose out on £450,000 next season with the reduction in Sky Sports’ broadcast deal and CEO Michael Carter admits the club will need to run with a skinnier squad next season.I
Carter and the rest of the Wakefield board unanimously agreed last week to appoint Willie Poching as permanent coach, following a successful spell in interim charge.
He also revealed the financial impact the new Sky Sports TV deal would have on clubs like Wakefield and insists that Poching is aware of the difficulties that could arise on the recruitment front with less money coming in next year.
Poching will be looking to strengthen Wakefield’s squad over the autumn after turning their fortunes around in the final seven games of the season. One big hole he will need to fill is the one left by Joe Westerman, who is set to leave the club for Castleford Tigers.
“It is going to be difficult with the TV deal being reduced. For a club like ours, that probably means the best part of £450,000 that won’t be coming across our front doorstep next year,” said Carter of the challenges posed when it comes to recruitment.
And when you run a club like ours, it is well documented we run close to the bone in terms of costs. Stripping costs out is not a way we can go down.
“We have got to find revenue streams. Our season tickets have gone on sale and the message to the supporters is that you can bring a friend along and convince them to buy a season ticket.
The sponsors have been brilliant over the last two years but they are struggling as well in the current climate. It is certainly not going to be easy. Willie understands that and he is under no illusions. We will provide as much as we can to make that squad as good as it can be.
“We will probably have to run a little bit skinnier than we have done over the last two or three years.
“That will include a few of our junior academy players coming into the first-team squad. They will have to sink or swim pretty quickly should injuries bite next year. We understand the difficulties we are faced with over the next 12 to 24 months.
We will attack that challenge and give it everything we have got to produce the best squad for Willie and the club.”
