Why is it quoted in the press that we will be handicapped with IMG unless we finish top due to a cap on the championship clubs.

Unless you show the quote I can't say, but we are no more handicapped than anyone else. Finishing top gives you more points than finishing lower, by 0.11 per position but also 0.25 for GF and 0.1 for 1895 gives you a boost that others don't have.

It’s on Wakefield Trinity news under an article by Serious about rugby league.

The incumbents obviously believe the current strategy is working because their plan is to once again go with an even smaller squad which they hope to pad out with short term players both on loan and through dual registration. I guess we are dropping the reserves because we clearly do not have a big enough squad and you can’t expect the academy to fill in.
I hope some of the worshippers of the incumbents can explain the logic to this decision and why they believe it will work. I bet no one at the club realised just how much funding we would lose with relegation because if we had then I guess it may have been possible for even two accountants to spend more on the squad to try to eliminate or reduce this possibility. I guess the phrase “speculate to accumulate” is an anathema to an accountant.

What would you do to speculate to accumulate then in the current circumstances you posed the analogy what would you do? Not a dig just interested.

It was obvious our squad was at best rubbish because it was within the restraints placed by the incumbents. I guess they could have tried to resign some of the players coming off contract rather than allowing them to leave. I know we brought some in but only after they got extra funding from a third party when it was a little too late.

But haven't you said a million times that we have less money now we are in Championship? Doesn't that answer your question?

Yes I knew it but sadly the incumbents didn’t or why would they do nothing after a start like ours. The sad thing is we actually nearly made it despite them and their inaction. If you believe they have done all they could to avoid relegation that is your opinion but not mine.
I hope our director of rugby takes the chairman and his obedient coach with him before they are allowed to completely destroy the club.

What is it that you think they could have done, after the start we had, that they didn't do?

Sack the coach early on and bring in someone with experience of managing an actual first team, preferably someone with experience of scrapping it out in a relegation battle who is able to turn close losses into wins, and stop the blowout losses.

They didn't do that, and the inevitable happened

Replace a failing coach or don’t appoint him in the first place without actually seeing who might want the job. I guess if you just want someone who will go with our squad without question. Don’t appoint yourself as the director of rugby and take over recruitment when you have no idea what you are doing and an ability to rub people up the wrong way.
Sadly he with his cohort decided to do nothing, why because he was leaving and clearly had lost interest when you look at his rare appearances.

So you've just said they did nothing after the start of the season, I've asked you to explain and you go back to things they should have known before the start of the season.

They didn't do nothing, they signed a boat load of players and an assistant and got the guy looking to take over to give us some money before he took over. It didn't ultimately work, but they didn't do nothing.

I'm trying really hard to have an intelligent conversation but you are making it very difficult.

I don’t know how many times some of us called for a change in coach after round 8.

But Willzay, he's already said we didn't have the money......though clearly it might have been an option,but when we already had too many injuries I'm not sure how they'd pay for it.
We needed Ellis boost money to do the things we wanted to do which was much later....and then we started winning.

Ultimately, right or wrong Carter explained they thought it was the injuries and small squad causing the problem and not Mash.....which I guess but don't know....is why they didn't replace him.
