Not the case at all. Not entering administration will obviously help our license bid but in no way does it guarentee our status. The chances are we will still get the push either way. |

| Quote: vastman "I don't see why.
I think we are closer on this than you imagine.
Your blunt black and white approach in this case is fully justified.
We may differ as to why but I agree entirely that Ted must go as soon as possible. His position is no longer tenable regardless of his guilt or innocence, that is how it is.
However despite your bluster you know as well as I that it's not as simple as it appears. I fear there is more to come on this and there is a lot of grey.
Ted is like the captain of the Titanic - after it's hit the iceberg. It's to late now, shooting the captain won't help.
I want him to man up and man the bridge until everyone else is safe, then sadly he will have to sink but hopefully the ship won't.
I want him to rectify as much as possible so that the new owners don't find too many boobytraps when they take over. He can't do that if he's on the outside.
It's not sentiment it pragmatism.'"
My betting is on Ted being the one that knocks women and children out of the way,so he can jump in a lifeboat!! |

Now there's a phrase that brings back good memories of this place… |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Ime glad there is somebody on here showing a smidgins of common sense , I take it from this post that Mr Richardson has been in control of WTW for around 15 years ( with a period where somebody less liked had the helm ) , people don't hang around at a pro sports club that probably doesn't make a profit for that long if they are inherently dishonest , with the way things are looking he is now out of his depth financially , is that a crime ? , is he the only person in this county who in the last 3/4 years is no longer able to

Not the case at all - straight back at you. That is just conjecture (probably right but all the same). Going into Admin would make it a certainty. You want to make that call?
The problem is no one on here knows the full story - until we do calling for instant retribution may well be VERY counterproductive. Like it or not you are innocent until proven guilty it's THE LAW. Ted may have lost his credibility however that's no guarantee he's lost his case - especially in a legal sense.
Surely the last thing any of us want is the club bogged down by years of litigation in which only Lawyers get rich - anyone who doesn't think that could happen has their head in the clouds.
Think of it this way, if Ted is the mafioso some suggest then he will have been clever enough to have covered his track and stashed the loot. The terrace mentality simply won't work in this case, shouting isn't the long term answer. |

I actually believe the opposite now. I think we would have no chance with the current regime - despite all their efforts - but that by bringing in new money and management we may have a chance, and if that means going through admin to get there, then thank God for Crusaders and the rule changes they brought us!  |

Have the rules changed? Or are we just assuming Crusaders have reset the bar?
Hope you're right.

The rules were changed - so it is no longer automatic.
We have always thought that we would not be given parity on these matters, but the feeling is now more that it is our financial situation that was hindering us.
We may still get the boot, but nothing is predictable in RL! |

The problem is, and has been for a while, that under his stewardship, poor decision making is a year in, year out thing. Some questionable choices of employees, and doing stuff as cheap as possible with poor results.
Case in point, Wildcats TV is just a copy of what a lot of pro sports clubs are doing, but when you haven't got the resources to do it properly, it just looks crap and would be better without it. |

I really don't know but I assume whilst he is there WT exist (in a fashion) but if he goes we no longer exist as a company just a pile of debt.
Until the white knight arrives, is it not a case of better the devil you know than nothing.
Quote: vastman "'" Yes Ted needs to go even if he hasn't deliberately done wrong IMHO. But before he does he owes us the time to allow others to step forward. Quote: vastman "'"
So for me it's yes but not until a mechanism is in place to move the club forward.'"
erm, let me think! QUESTION,... who owns the ground vastman...
Has the wool been pulled over your eyes too ?  ? |

ok il give the other side.
he messed the ground up at denby dale.
he messed the ground up at ossett
he didnt check pearman out properly
thornes park balls up
I.VA. C.V.A
benidorm flats
selling our best players
running the club as a family business
the way hes left us in a mess
these are a few off the top of my head
finally vasty hes ruined the good name of our once great club. a name that stood for something, a name that years ago was one of the biggest names in the world.
yes hes ruined our good name and that is un forgivable.
