I´ve been as sad as anyone about SOME of the player departures but I have never felt so confident that we now have a guy at the helm who is running the club as it should be.
He has mytotal backing.

Quote: Daddycool "Having watched you dig a bigger hole this last week or so, it's now time to update your information.
I never owned 40%. I originally owned 5. And did the books on a part time basis, but was not an employee nor was I a director until the 29th august when AG transferred his shareholding to me plus agreed in a signed document to write his loan off. Now I've just checked my share transfer document to check I didn't actually dream it.
As for the 'fit and proper person ' test, I passed that at the same time I became a director, and the rfl ratified the change of ownership.'"


Whoa.... Hang on a daw gone cotton picking minute... There Muskrat...

In my humble opinion, even doing the accounts part time (as if that statement absolves the responsibility) any professional worth their salt would have been making rapid interventions...

Hell... I trust accountants as much as I trust a kid in a candy factory! I have said before... You are all the club has... And that scares the poop out of me!

I hope he has the facts if he didn't he would be in the wrong place. If AG transferred his shares and agreed to write off his debt then that is fair play to him however i do remember you saying that you were looking to buy him out, I guess things must have changed.
This means therefore that you are free to take any actions you feel without the fear that the club will be pulled from under you. I still state that based on your current record you have sold or released a large number of players from the first team squad and signed one. I will therefore not be hanging out the bunting quite yet until you and your board members have assembled your squad so that I and looking at the ST counter a large number of supporters can access how well you are doing.
Your optimism for next season does not exactly fill me with confidence nor do I understand your stance regarding the restructure.
I see your band of brothers/sisters are looking to banish any dissenting views from the forum, I guess it is so that everything they read will paint a glorious picture for the future. A forum is exactly that a place for discussion both good and bad and to try to banish one side is just dictatorship.
I have a specific question for our chairman on the shirt night will you be able to buy and collect on the night or just order for delivery at some time in the future.

Quote: Agent XIII "Snip.'"


Please do nt associate my comments and thoughts with the railings of a madman...

To contextualise I have some senior finance people in my team and I take their professional advice very seriously... And the are able to temper the strategic and investment decisions we need to make... They are, however, no where near at the time we make the decision, there are other criteria which take precedence once the financial constraints are understood and managed.

In my decades of experience I have not met an accountant who is able to act outside their professional constraint... It's not in ther training, personality profile or experience... Carter may well be the person to wrest control... But the person to create a vibrant and visionary future.... I think not... The club needs to attract that type of character... Carter and glover together would have been powerful... One type without the other? Chaos!

We have gone from one extreme to the other...and neither will work by themselves.

I regret you may think of me as a madman which of course I am not but your views are in many ways similar to me. I have never known an accountant running a business not even an accountancy business so welcome to bedlam fellow inmate.

Not sure how a qualified accoutant can say doing books on a part time basis absolves anybody from the this mess.
What was needed was a stucture exsplained so that investmenr could be attacted

will other directors loans be written off ?

recapitalisation should take place so that moving the cash flow problem down the line and just selling players isnt the only self defeating option

No general call for capital investmest and the structure that either individual or trust could invest in has been anounced.

Funny how lack of facts can spoil a good story. Like others I don't buy I only did the books MC. I was not a Director nor employed sounds like "not my fault guv". As said facts spoil a good story or can be shielded by blind faith.
The facts known are negative - players having to be sold, Ticket sales not what we need and we still some finance issues. So that's alright then?

Posting after a night on the sauce is never good. Especially when it's your first post.

Well what an informed response. Not felt the need to post before and you have just evidenced why it's really not worth bothering. Keep the faith - blind or otherwise - as you seem to have nothing useful to say you may wish to return to your own sauce.

Ha. All I ask is to be coherent in your posts. Read my other posts. I have some quite good things to say icon_smile.gif and the best thing is that people don't need an enigma machine to understand them.

I mean you no insult but you do need to change your tack... Genuinely you are increasingly incoherent... And disconnected.... And a little one eyed.

I remember having long chats with old Ted... And talked long about other investment, and more people sharing his control.... But he was not interested really... This was his club... And the only time he trusted someone to join in (Pearman) it ended in disaster, and he was never going to give control away again

AG should have had a steadying hand alongside... Instead he had Elston.

Now we have a new owner who exhibits a completely different ethos to all previous incumbents...

The club needs to creat a vision for the people of Wakefield to buy into... One which portrays a conservative and prudent financial agenda, but that is the only evidence of prudence and conservatism... Everything else is about customer, sales, excitement, positive... If we don't ave those attributes then hanging out for Newmarket will be pointless.

Glover had the external face right on the button... Carter has the internal face absolutely right...

Hence my previous point, if it could ave been done... together they would have been powerful.

So did Glover, so that means nothing.

What's with this "paper trail" thing that I keep hearing about, Michael? Some tax evasion game? How can a 400K shortfall after doing the books become a 600K shortfall?
