Understood - well and truly.

But, the RFL have been kept informed, so have Colin and Rodney etc... These seem to be the most important people to our club at this time and, if we can keep them convinced of our future, then we will ride this one out.

IF those above decide it would be better to have a change of name above the door, then we will have to address it. I have got to know Ted and co quite well in the past 10 years, but I know them because of my support for the club and I have always seen Ted as the custodian, not as the club itself - a point that Ted is always keen to make himself.

I do not see anyone ready to fill Ted's boots at this time - that is not to say someone will not appear from the mist!

I am neither a doom and gloomer nor a rose tinted specs wearer but all this 'stick' TRB is getting seems
to be getting a bit out of hand! Come on give the guy some slack, its getting out of hand chaps!

I'll assume that is me!

I didn't know at the time - I found out last Sunday night by PM and subsequently informed the club that the news was out there and ready to break. I think they had hoped that this would stay private, but it has lasted 6 weeks - which I reckon was pretty good really!

I appreciate your concern!

Thanks for that - I have been expecting a pasting, but the work continues!

Clearly if you set yourself up as the mouthpeace of the club and the Walls come tumbling down, your gonna get covered in brick dust!

the other one , the one where men are men

like al says room for more than 1 forum im happy here on rlfans if posters are not happy with this board then they will naturally stop posting and go elsewhere. i hear that its just wakey fans on there .

Of course.

I set myself up as I felt, and still do feel, that there is a void to be filled. My services are self-driven and expendable. I don't enjoy the dust, but I can take it.

Agreed.

This is getting out of order.

I certainly fall into the category of "doom and gloomer" as TRB would probably testify to and ive had little faith in Ted since he allowed the situation with Pearman to nearly finish us off.(Due dilligence etc)

However i believe some of the comments being aimed at TRB are unwarranted.

The only issue for the club is the perception it gives of the people involved in the club. Nothing else.
Ted has had his critics (myself at times) but as "custodian" as TRB puts it, he has not done a terrible job, and I don't see any other super-administrators jumping in to take over.

There are plenty of top business men that have been through what he is going through and been successful in later years. Richard Branson did it 3 times. I think we'd be ok if he came in with some pennies and wanted to be involved.
In the current economy, there are better businessmen and better businesses than Ted's going to the wall. It isn't always because of mismanagement. Sometime cash flow, sometimes banks calling in debts/overdrafts that were ok previously.

Let's let Ted sort out his problems and get on with running the club. I'd be ok with someone else taking over, especially as Ted probably has other things on his mind right now, but it only needs to be someone else in the club (not a family member though!).

To those that suggest Rodney, you obviously don't know him. He is a make big things happen guy, not a day to day running of the place guy. He has fingers in a lot of successful pies but he leaves the running of the place to others once the job is done. That's why everybody wants him involved.

and TRB is a forum member just the same as anyone else. Don't see why he should be getting grief in this conversation.

its just one thing after another is it any wonder we are not performing on the field

Who is giving him stick ? I have not, and he is a big boy, I am sure he is more than capable of defending his own reply to any posts, without 4 or 5 of you lot making a debate into a us and you situation.

The situation on, and now off the field at Wakefield is very poor to say the least, and if you dont agree than thats your opinion.

I want to be wrong, but I will show my ar5e on the end terrace if we get a new licence.

Fair comment.

Can we remain on topic please (but thanks anyway for the support!)

now im very worried
