It goes to show that even with the very best of intentions unfulfilled bold statements can back fire badly.
Something that could go a long way to define his ownership?

| Can't say I hold it against Andrew Glover for stating in year three Trinity would be spending the full cap. It was well intentioned. I suspect he's been let down by his management team, together with a dash of naivety on his part.

He did his due diligence he should have had some idea of what he was taking over.
I will pose this question is it a new regime or just the old people spending a new owners money?
If its the latter maybe AG or any mystery man in the wings may want to change things to avoid the mistakes of the past?

| Quote: FIL "He basically says that there are not too many quality players available on the transfer market as clubs are holding on to their talent because of what's happening in 12 months i.e. 2 clubs to be relegated from SL.
He also says that if we do bring anyone in then someone else will likely have to leave to make way. However, he is confident of announcing new signings "in due course", but states that this is down to the coaching staff to decide on who they want. We are currently talking to Lee Smith and Ali, along with Ollie Wilkes, Danny Cowling (likely Halifax-bound though), Liam Kay and Matty Wildie.
Apparently the playing budget has not been affected, despite our financial problems, as plans were already in place.
More to follow in next weeks Wakey Express apparently !!'"
Plans were already in place? To do what? Spend less?

spot on.
Usual jobs for the boys garbage.
Elston...employs his wife in a managerial role; what are her qualifications?
....his best mate from his junior days Hudson as 2nds coach: what are his qualifiactions?
Fozzard ?? Dickens??
All of whom wouldnt pee on wakefield 5 years ago.
I wouldnt mind if they didnt know what they were doing if they had Wakefield in their heart.
They dont so get them out.......total farce!!!!!
No qualifications, no passion............no good!!!
Non of them would get a role on same money if they left wakefield.
Elston out!! His pleb mates out!!

Think this is somewhere around the mark. When we had no money our CEO passed the small bag of money to JK and said 'It's all yours'. When a new owner came in and we didn't have a coach in place, our CEO said 'Here, i'll shown you how to spend your money'. Hopefully AG has learnt from this costly mistake and will employ a CEO who has some business sense and not just rambles on in the hospitality suite about his playing days at Rochdale and ridicules players that he is not fit to lace their boots.
