Quote: Agent XIII "It was stated when he was first appointed that his intention was to buy out AG. I did not say it but the messiah did.'"

He must know enough not to spend money on something he doesn't have to at the moment.
AG may still own the club but can't see him having much input.
Think he maybe more of a 'silent' owner.
And he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.(According to you). Couldn't stop myself!! icon_surprised.gifops:

Quote: Theboyem "Why would MC bother with buying Glover out, unless it was a nominal fee? AG got us into this mess, if it all goes belly up let him lose his investment. If Carter were to blow his brass on buying his shares at a 'normal' price i'd have to question his sanity.

If glover & elston had any decency they'd sell all their shares to the supporters trust for a quid.'"



I stopped reading after that part.

Quote: Agent XIII "I raise a few questions which of course none of you answer and therefore opt to the standard fall back position. I am definitely not thick nor am I unbelievably gullible, I will let you work out which one best suits you.'"



Maybe if you answered the question others keep asking of you then you might get some answers of your own. I'll remind you shall I?

How would you have done things differently? You're not happy with the way MC is dealing with the problems we have but offer no alternative. You're getting really boring.

I would not admit in public that we are looking to sell players nor would I of stated that we are short of money especially when you need supporters to buy 3000 ST. I would try to defer the payments by discussing it with each supplier in order to ascertain the true costs.
I would also see if I was MC if my dad who pocketed several millions from the sale of his bus company would be willing to support his son's new business venture.
I would keep the retail and commercial side going, open the shop when it should be and make sure the club replies and sort out any problems.
It's not MC fault being his recent history was an accountant at his father's bus company which is somewhat different from a rugby club.
I have answered your questions can you or anyone answer mine.

Well its a bit late now, if only you'd answered them earlier it would all be sorted.

Isn't this what the last board did?
Not admitting anything was wrong?
I can see why you got on with the previous regime!!
The trouble with discussing the payments to the suppliers, is that they are probably the same suppliers that have been bummed twice in 3 or 4 years and it's very difficult to play the sympathy vote.
By MC disclosing where the club is, he has not conned anyone.
The only questions are about the shortfall and how much is left and if anyone else is required to be off loaded.
The season is 4 months away, have a bit of faith.

Not wishing to be pedantic but I think you will find I have stated these exact same ideas and views from just after MC was appointed by AG and he made what I considered to be a most disastrous interview. The retail and commercial operations at that time were still in place and therefore how could anyone predict what a mess the board would make of these but then again we probably should.
Do you think saying that KH was asked to invest but declined so instead we decided to employ her was a wise statement to make if so you really do have a blind spot when it comes to the board.
I have now provided the same answers on several occasions so please if you and your fellow drones can stop asking what I have already answered in a poor attempt to just to try to distract from the complete disaster that is the administration of Wakefield Trinity.
I will however continue to ask mine because I am still waiting for some answers.

I have another question more suited to an accountant. What is the average home crowd have the board budgeted for in their figures considering we had about 8000 last season.

An average of 8k but with an income of I guess 5/6k. There was always going to be a drop with the price going up and a poor finish to the season. The off season will have reduced it further so I reckon it will be 4/5k.

We only averaged 8k on paper, the true figures is considerably less.

The only correct figure was the last game, what will happen next year depends on signing some players.

It will be against the paper 8000 that we will be compared. It is not signing bodies to fill a shirt but they must give the supporters hope that we are not just going through the motions towards relegation.

Isn't worrying about comparisons exactly the reason why the attendances get overstated in the 1st place. Next year we are now expected to struggle in all areas so lets have the true attendances published each week.

Quote: Agent XIII "What's the matter are you beginning to worry that more supporters are beginning to question the running of the club and spoiling your delusion that the future is bright. I would remind you like I and others have said if you have the future of the club as your core principal why vote to change to the new structure. It is reported that we are now one of only 5 SL clubs in favour.
I am resigned to the fate we face next season are you.'"


You are "one of the few clubs".... I enjoyed hospitality at the England game this weekend and overheard your chairman arguing with Nigel Wood on the merits of supporting the RFL's restructure (in a corridor in public view - embarrassing really). Wood basically said that if clubs did not agree then other changes would massively favour championship clubs meaning a dramatic loss of revenue for "your club". Wood was pretty animated, especially when questioned on bail outs for other clubs. Sounded like your chairman was having his arm twisted big time, anybody questioning his passion for your club is way off the mark!!
