Ruining no, without him the club probably wouldn't be here. But he has probably taken the club as far as he can and we desperate for some extra investment from somewhere.

Quote: housecat "Think your right my friend'"


He always said that he would step aside if anyone else wants a go.
At the time, he was willing to sell for a quid if you fancy it ?

Quote: Bullseye "Surprised as I thought he'd made improvements since Webster was coach. Before he turned up I fancied us to beat you lot in the playoffs in 2015. After he arrived you were a different team.

You can't expect massive improvements given the resources available. Gradual improvement with some setbacks along the way was always likely.

Obvs he doesn't think he's getting the backing he needs.'"
Couldn't agree more with your opening paragraph. Not a total surprise though as Smithy doesn't have a great track record for seeing out contracts.

Anyone who thinks he will step aside and sell it for a quid must be an idiot
The bloke is milking the club for all its worth why else would he be involved I can't remember seeing anywhere that he's a mad Wakefield fan . The sooner the fans on here realise the better and stop seeing him as some sort of savour

Quote: FIL "www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/35755957'"


BBC Radio Leeds reports that Smith asked for his contract to be terminated after speaking to the Wakefield players on Tuesday morning.

Be interested to hear what was said.

When he was appointed I felt this was a change in fortunes for the club in a very positive way and while I don't know his reasons for resigning I feel very let down at the moment so until a statement is released I guess we will have to bit the bullet and wait

He seemed pretty genuine at the time.
He wasn't making money from the club, it was costing him. So if you fancy a go, give him a ring.

I think he simply announced his decision to the players rather than resigned on the strength of that meeting.
................saying that, if it was because of what was said in that meeting we are in deeper poo than ever.

He has said before that he stayed after being convinced by Carter based on what was going to be done to help him. If (and I don't know) he didn't get the backing he wanted he may as well go back to his original decision to go back home.

I really feel it's a missed opportunity by the club.

We will see what the future brings.

Whilst i agree he probably wouldn't sell it for a quid, the rest of your statement imo is absolute garbage. Milking it for all its worth????!! Whats that exactly???
Does he have to be a fan?? I don't claim he is a god, but at the same time, there wasn't a queue of people lining up either before he took over or since, so on those grounds i think it is fair to say, we wouldnt still be in Super League without both MC and CB.

Should they walk away tomorrow, yes someone else may step in, but i assure you they would be walking into a lot better situation than the current board picked it up in 2 years ago.

Anyhow, my preferred options for the new coach in order are:

1. John Kear
2. Glen Morrison
3. Karl Harrison
