| Quote: bren2k "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.'"
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?

| 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.

| I have been reading this board for over 4 years now and can't believe some of the things people are saying in the direction of the Elston's.
who brought Glover to the board room?
Who worked hard to get a super league license?
Who put the roof on the ground?
Who increased supporter numbers?
If you can do better then please contact the club with your CV and explain how you can repair the hole in funds left by a big sponsor going into admin due to tax issues.
They may not be perfect but every time I have spoken to James he has been passionate, loyal and wanting to make Wakey a success.
Stop hiding behind a keyboard and support the club one we would not have if the Elston's simply walked away just 2 years ago!

If as he has stated, his source is the club I can't see how you come up with that.
Perhaps daddy cool can spread some light on the matter, unless he just dismisses the things that aren't right and leaves well alone the stuff that's true.

El Rey, why should anyone quiz the club about rumours started on this forum. It is about time you stopped twisting the knife,fueling the fire for all the nutjobs coming out of the woodwork and stick to moderating, or give up that privelege.

The 'if' says its a rumour. Even if it is true, its not his responsibility to spread the dirt on corporate matters. Bitch about the team, the ground, the stands til you're blue in the face, but until you buy into the business - it ain't none of yours.

Your answer lies here here if you are unsure.

For the avoidance of doubt - IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS!
How would you feel if your neighbours started talking about your income, debts, financial aptitude?

As long as the questions are questions and the opinions are opinions, and not statements of fact, he's entitled to post what he wants, moderator or not.
FWIW, I'm on your side, not because I'm on the inside track, but because I trust in common sense. That may be my downfall though, and yours too, unless you know something that's worth sharing to dampen the hysteria.
