Simon Woolford coming to work alongside Chester for the rest of the year and show him the ropes is the rumour on the VT according to Willzay.

A year goes on till December .Think the S L ends in October

Hey, I’m all for second chances...

I made my stance clear on another thread...I would thank Dave for being an excellent signing and a real fans favourite and let him go with our best wishes...

We don’t know all the ins and outs though...

We know he’s probably been a handful to manage from day 1 and when he was playing well that probably wasn’t much of an issue...when not performing as well maybe it did become an issue and he threw his toys out of the pram? Still only speculation?

We don’t know what was said in the meeting or how he has been in training and with the rest of the squad since?

What we do know is if he’s in the right frame of mind he can be a hugely influential figure and bring the best out of those around him and lift the whole team...

Having played sport myself for 25 years in various sports and teams I’ve always come across players who are sometimes difficult to handle and in most cases they’ve been the better players in the team...as a player I always wanted them to be playing because I wanted to be playing in a team with all its best players playing...whatever has gone on I bet the majority of the squad would still want a switched on Dave playing every week...

Actually late November/December for SL season
.......and we'll still be in SL next season....

This is the first time I've ever thought this since Mr Carter took the club over, but I'm beginning to lose a little confidence in him lately.
He has shown in the past that he is an astute accountant and businessman who turned our club into a business that looked after it's financial matters sensibly. So why now is he willing to watch his investment disappear down the pan to some extent.
By the fact that so many season ticket holders surrendered them to the Club in order help out financially we effectively became shareholders/stakeholders in Wakefield Trinity. Now, I'm not a capitalist but I believe the first duty of such a business is to satisfy its shareholders and do what is best by them. Mr Carter doesn't appear to believe in this creed as he doesn't seem to want to stop the slide or at least explain to "shareholders" the state of the situation at this point in time.
Come on Mr C. give us some respect, please..

I'm looking at it from the point of, Fifita won't be here next season. BJB is coming to the end of his contract, I would say there's a big wedge tied up in those two, which could go a long way to getting that 'general' that we need.

I think we have gone past the point that a good half will turn the clubs fortunes around ,things seem to be a lot more deep seated than a new pair of boots on the park to me .I really hope that I get egg on my face this fri and we give Wigan a good thumping which in my heart I hope we do ,but my head says it’s another shellacking that’s in store for us .

Even if these two aren’t at the club next season I am not confident the money would be used as we are 280k lighter from the sky deal alone and could be massively down again based on today’s government announcements.

Well, here’s one for Scarlett. Fifita has an opportunity now to prove all those who criticised him wrong.

He is still only 1 player, you could put Lewis in his prime in our current team and it would make some difference but the coaching of Chester would still be a drag on the team.
I suppose he keeps changing the team because it gives him a ready made excuse for another poor performance.

We got relegated with Lewis in the team.

We got relegated when Lewis was in the team because he could not carry 11 out of the 12 playing with him the 12 player was Bell who turned out to be one of the best loss forwards to play for the cjub

I know but I don’t think he would consider his spell with us to be an highlight of his career and the squad he was with bears little resemblance to the strength of what we have now.

I have a question and I admit I don’t know the answer but we are constantly being told that the club is short of money and therefore needs to reduce the wages. We are currently paying for a loan for the ground which was overvalued allegedly therefore I presume this is swallowing a large chunk of our income. It would be interesting to know what percentage it is but this will never be disclosed but it must have a major impact on the club’s finances.
