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!

Or, BS wanted to buy Trinity (unlikely) got brushed off, get a sulk on then walked?

He could only raise 99p I was told lol

I dismissed this posters suggestion from last Tuesday, but after reading that, there appears to be a lot of truth, & for that I apologise.


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 .

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 .

This would make a great thriller, where's slugger lol

I am assuming BS wanted to take over Wakey and buy out MC. if he wanted to and had the money or investors backing him.why would MC need a business plan from him, MC would be gone. That is my point.

Unless MC does actually care about the club and doesn't want to see us in somebodies hands who would go against the stability that he has given us financially.

Let's just hope that he does care about the club and the long suffering fans, he doesn't seem to get the message across somehow. Time will tell, I just hope that whatever happens Wakefield Trinity continue being a Super League club. The city of Wakefield deserves a top class professional sports club.

It ends in a bloodbath!

I think MC comes out of this with a lot of credit. He could have easily said, "here you go, here's the keys, fill your boots", but he insisted on seeing a properly thought-out plan. That might have been because of the money he is owed by the club, but by not handing over power to the first person who shows the slightest bit of interest does suggest that he has the long-term future of the club at heart.

What I can't help wondering is why an Aussie in his sixties who appears to be merely passing through the UK is the slightest bit interested in owning a rugby club that appears to be a business basket-case. Money to be made on land? Who knows. I can't help thinking, however, that MC was right in wanting to know more about the first offer that landed on the table.

If it was about control, rather than ownership, again I can't help thinking that MC did the right thing in saying no, because what's to stop BS running up unsustainable debts and hotfooting it back to Aus?

Something stinks in this, and it smells of kangaroos and Victoria Bitter!

Can't help thinking this reminds me of quite a few yrs ago when a certain caddick wanted to buy the club and a bloke called Ted got in his way . Look what that ended like . Caddick went elsewhere and Ted nearly ran us into ground let's hope this doesn't end same way

Only weeks into (yet another) dire season and we already have this drama.
It's great being a Trinity supporter isn't it?!
