| 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.

I'm not unsure and why are you encoraging me to make contact with officials at the club? I will be watching a game of rugby league tomorrow and supporting Wakefield Trinity, end of!

Completely agree, I come on here less and less, the place has gone to absolute sh@t.

I dont see anybody quoting 'statements of fact' just what they have heard, sometimes something they have said themselves and which then get exaggerated into more serious rumours, but all they are are rumours. Some of these have now got very nasty and personal. That is when I would expect a moderator to step in, not add more fuel to the fire that doesnt exist.

Did you see the word correct as well or was it selective vision?
A £1.2 million first year loss, three winding up orders and a double figure amount of ccj's in the last 12 months tells everyone something is wrong somewhere. And the other stories that are going round from well connected people are reason to be worried. Its not about points scoring, its not about gloating, its about wanting to know what the hell is going on with OUR club AGAIN.
