| I don't believe a word Carter says and I never have. He's very good at spin, very good at playing the victim, playing the sympathy card and splitting the fan base . Hopefully not too much longer till he walks out of the door cause I dread to think the state were going to be in if this deal collapses.

| Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "Why should the financial hole be enormous unless he plans to take his investment back whatever that actually is. I wonder how do you know he pumps large sums of money because he stated from the outset and even prior to the Hull game that he could not do this and that any expenditure came from what the club generated.
The reason we have been flirting with relegation is down entirely to the club’s lack of investment in the playing squad culminating in the debacle that is this season. He had a chance to build a legacy just a few seasons ago but opted to let the balance sheet rule hence we were at that time the only club to run with a profit.'"
Because that’s money no longer available, unless someone else fills it, pretty obvious really. In SL maybe not so bad but in the Championship!
Also he’s an unpaid CEO, what makes you think we can get another one of those? JM can’t do it he has other commitments as far as I’m aware.
For a decent CEO what would that cost?

You can blame age for two of those, chance of silverware for one, and the previous coach for one.
I agree though as regards Miller and Aydin from what I hear.
Doesn’t change the point, everyone hated Ted at the end but look what replaced him, actually forgotten his name.
The grass is not always greener

| Yes I remember when Steve Parkin pulled out at the 11th hour ,it would have been a different story if he'd have taken over.

Yep that deal was so close to happening, who knows how it would have ended up. It was pretty much signed sealed and delivered, he just wanted a guarantee from the RFL that we would receive a franchise and TBH the rightly at the time would not do that.

After Ted before Glover took over at the beginning of 2011.

Trumpeting that all our financial problems would be a thing of the past. Remember it well.

So I was living overseas when Glover was running the joint - I mean, did it all start well with him and he just got out of control with being the big man about town or was it always doomed from the start?
He can clearly make, sell and maintain windows and conservatories, so business doesn’t seem alien to him, or is it businesses that don’t make profit where he came unstuck?
