Of course.
I set myself up as I felt, and still do feel, that there is a void to be filled. My services are self-driven and expendable. I don't enjoy the dust, but I can take it.

Agreed.
This is getting out of order.
I certainly fall into the category of "doom and gloomer" as TRB would probably testify to and ive had little faith in Ted since he allowed the situation with Pearman to nearly finish us off.(Due dilligence etc)
However i believe some of the comments being aimed at TRB are unwarranted.

| Quote: TRB "Understood - well and truly.
But, the RFL have been kept informed, so have Colin and Rodney etc... These seem to be the most important people to our club at this time and, if we can keep them convinced of our future, then we will ride this one out.
IF those above decide it would be better to have a change of name above the door, then we will have to address it. I have got to know Ted and co quite well in the past 10 years, but I know them because of my support for the club and I have always seen Ted as the custodian, not as the club itself - a point that Ted is always keen to make himself.
I do not see anyone ready to fill Ted's boots at this time - that is not to say someone will not appear from the mist!'"
The only issue for the club is the perception it gives of the people involved in the club. Nothing else.
Ted has had his critics (myself at times) but as "custodian" as TRB puts it, he has not done a terrible job, and I don't see any other super-administrators jumping in to take over.
There are plenty of top business men that have been through what he is going through and been successful in later years. Richard Branson did it 3 times. I think we'd be ok if he came in with some pennies and wanted to be involved.
In the current economy, there are better businessmen and better businesses than Ted's going to the wall. It isn't always because of mismanagement. Sometime cash flow, sometimes banks calling in debts/overdrafts that were ok previously.
Let's let Ted sort out his problems and get on with running the club. I'd be ok with someone else taking over, especially as Ted probably has other things on his mind right now, but it only needs to be someone else in the club (not a family member though!).
To those that suggest Rodney, you obviously don't know him. He is a make big things happen guy, not a day to day running of the place guy. He has fingers in a lot of successful pies but he leaves the running of the place to others once the job is done. That's why everybody wants him involved.

| and TRB is a forum member just the same as anyone else. Don't see why he should be getting grief in this conversation.

Who is giving him stick ? I have not, and he is a big boy, I am sure he is more than capable of defending his own reply to any posts, without 4 or 5 of you lot making a debate into a us and you situation.
The situation on, and now off the field at Wakefield is very poor to say the least, and if you dont agree than thats your opinion.
I want to be wrong, but I will show my ar5e on the end terrace if we get a new licence.

Fair comment.
Can we remain on topic please (but thanks anyway for the support!)

Of course I agree with the on and off situation at Wakefield at the moment. I doubt many will disagree.
I still think TRB is getting to much stick (and not just from you) yes, I'm sure he is more than capable of sticking up for himself. Thats my opinion, not an us and you (them) situation.
If you don't like people having an opinion on your posts send a PM. Thats the only way you will get people to
'butt out'

| Dont really see what ted having an IVA as got to do with wakey trin RLFC ... and to link players going is just crazy as the money never went into teds pocket it saved the concern (WTWC) money .. Yep it looks bad if you put the neg spin on it and of course some will as some will put a positive on it . but the plain fact off the matter is that ted Richardson is one man and by entering an IVA just might be the catalyst to actually save the club.

I've just had a word with the Head of our IVA team here and he says the following:
You can still be a director of a limited company and in an IVA. The only exception to this would be if the company's rules prevented this, but these could quickly and easily be changed with an Extraordinary General Meeting. Basically the person has 'ring fenced' his own finances from his businesses and set up a formal agreement to pay back over a fixed period. This means that his creditors cannot try to get payment from his company(ies).
As an outsider my first thoughts were that this guy has put everything, including his last penny, into your club to keep it where it is today and instead of lambasting him for it, you should be thanking him.
