Repeated on sky as the above poster said. So if MC refuted this, why do we think it is being peddled by all and sundry?

Basically we're as spineless off the field as we are on it.

Something stinks at the club at the moment. At this rate Belle Vue will be houses and Trinity will be a memory.

Spineless on the field??
Egg.... Face.... Much.

Easy to say that now.

Yet again you're made to look stupid, why do you even post during games?

No just sensible to wait 'til you have all the facts before spouting off.

Was more disappointed when MC said he would look a a decent offer but then Carney not 2 minutes later said that MC would be open to 'any' offer!
Fair play to Bill Arthur talking about the Council being able to build Shopping Centres and industrial estates but no land for a Community Stadium.

Why should we go close to admin again? We now have an owner who doesn't spend money we haven't got.

Unless I am a very bad judge of character, having met him a couple of times, MC seems a decent and honest player. I think he has the club's best interests at heart and I will be astonished and disillusioned in equal measure if he proves me wrong and sells us out. By serving notice on the ground he has stirred up a stagnant situation which may get some movement in the right direction. He has the whole game talking. I don't know if the rumour is to do with him but either way it is also getting us noticed and the injustice of our situation talked about. It is better than being quiet and stagnating as it was. Wee all need to keep shouting and hope we force them w'it power to listen

Think Michael Carter was honest and open last night on their plight, and the poor journalism.

Although Eddie, Clarke and the rest of their motley crew were as positive as ever about us, I think Bill Arthur stood up for the club, as their current plight, and pretty much nailed it on the head regarding councils granting retail parks etc, but can't deliver a stadium.

Has Bill been reading some of the comments on here

I have to say though i wish MC had just said we are not selling our superleague licence, end of story. Saying he would consider it just keeps the speculation rolling and now its out there on tv for all to see. Somebody has already said to me this morning that it sounded like a 'make me an offer' speech. Now i doubt it was but if its come accross that way then a few ears may have pricked up at the news. I guess we'll find out soon enough whether anyone actually is interested one way or another and can put it to bed.

Another thing i've noticed, in a couple of interviews now he's used the phrase 'i'll be fighting for the atadium whether i'm involved with Wakefield or not'. Wonder if he is considering stepping back from the limelight a bit. Might not be the case at all and it is just a throw away line but i can't say i'd blame him to be honest.

The way the Sky team ran with that licence nonsense was scandalous; only good old Bill cut through the crap and talked about the actual issue - the failure of WMDC to deliver on what they promised the citizens of Wakefield.

I have sympathy for MC - with a mic in his face, he can't say much that won't be picked apart and scrutinised after the fact, with most observers able to find evidence for their own theory in his responses. It sounded to me like *all* club owners talked about it at a SL meeting in Feb - and he's said no more than any other club owner - but Craven has linked that with our stadium plight, and created a story out of nothing, which has now become a narrative. That's how the media works - you find yourself trying to get in front of a non-story, which makes it a story - or you say nothing, which makes it a story. You can't win with these people!

Whilst disappointing to hear MC say it may be considered, it sounds alot worse when taken out of context from the interview like it has been. Typical media though really. I would expect the comment from MC was just either an off the cuff/on the spot statement, if not maybe some politics is behind it and this is just another move on the chess board. Either way I fully trust MC

Yeah its feasible, I was saying at the game that if someone came along and offered us enough to get out of the stadium hole, then might be worth considering. Take a short term hit for a potential long term gain.

But it won't happen, no one is gonna pay £10m for a SL place.
