This.

The attack on Sarah Elston is uncalled for and downright disgraceful; it is frustrating however, that two years on from administration we find ourselves having more financial troubles and so James Elston as the CEO cannot be immune from criticism and must be held accountable.

But you and all the supporters should be interested in the financial side of things as it directly relates to what happens on the pitch. If we are skint the the playing budget suffers and the quality of players we have reduces. And ccj's and wup's are not going going to look good when a player is deciding which club to join. Not paying suppliers gets us a bad reputation meaning the better companies won't deal with us and we are left with either cheaper, lower quality merchandise or using small companies that can't produce big enough numbers to satisfy demand. The same goes for other suppliers at the club, catering, equipment etc.

The finances affect everything and are THE most important aspect of the club. As fans we can only do so much, its then up the the powers that be to take that and the sky money, sponsorship etc and spend it wisely. To go from a clean slate to on the brink again in a little over two years is very worrying and doesn't reflect well on anyone involved. Especially when the current ceo was in charge last time it happened. Rightly people are going to start asking questions, it just a case of making sure it is done in the correct manner.

I've got enough problems worrying about my own finances without worrying about the clubs. Rugby League is my means of escaping them for a couple of hours. It would be nice to win a few more, but Wakey fans are used to not winning - gives us something to moan about!

We will never be able to spend to the full cap until we stop selling season tickets for next to nothing.

And yet the only thing that tells you we're 'on the brink' is rumour and conjecture on an internet message board; the owner did his best in a recent statement to put the financial position into perspective, but for those people with a persistently gloomy outlook, that doesn't trump what gets said on here.

It's a shame - the whole forum has been taken over by the doom and gloom brigade, to the point where it seems that pretty much anyone is fair game.

Pathetic!

Can't understand the animosity towards SE - I'd certainly take her on and I'm sure many others would. She is a real Pro in her job. Classy lady.

Sadly, to some, I think she's collateral damage thanks to her husband.

So we can discount the Wup's and the ccj's, the pay cuts for the staff and the ballifs at the club then, if any of those are in doubt for just being message board rumour, ask Davide or James.

We did not lose 240k from France and no amount of "salepitch" will change that, we lost a monthly payment for x amount of months untill the new deal kicked in, then we have a loss from that amount to the France payments.

If you see that as doom and glooming then so be it, to me its more like facing up to whats actually happened.

I'm not discounting pay cuts for staff or bailiffs at the club, as I don't know anything about them; is this new information?

Like i said, ask the people at the club, that way its not just rumour.

So much negativity - it makes you want to slit your wrists reading SOME of the posts on here. I really think some of the posters want the club to fail so they can say 'told you so'. It's pathetic.

So as things stand you're spreading rumours?!
