We need a rugby team on the field so all non playing staff should be shown the door and made redundant and costs such as the shop closed down ASAP if its as bad as suggested. All merchandising must be done on line to save costs or sold on match day from the shop there by volunteers.

| The only problem with using volunteers instead of paid staff if that we are supposed to be a professional sports club, and should be run like a business as one should be.
We are not too far away from the days when the board relied far too heavily on volunteers, and that didn't work out in the club being well run did it?
Said from day 1 that we shouldn't treat Glover as some kind of messiah. Yes, his money "saved" the club at that point, but I fully believe there will not be a point in my lifetime where this club, in some form, does not exist.
You can fool double glazing punters with hype but you can't fool that majority of rugby league supporters, only the few who hero worship owners and chairmen in the hope of picking up crumbs from the top table.

Keep franchises out of our game: |

| Club statement ? Sounds familiar ? Isn't this the very same statement AG Made when he took over. Apart from a few figures changed to protect the guilty. Some have welcomed it as open and honest.If so why does it not explain why we are in this mess again so soon after the last debacle. why not say if JE is still involved. AG was not open and honest., If just told you the bits that suited him .MC is doing the same. How long before if starts employing his friends and. family .How much is he actually going to put in to the club. Probably no greater percentage of his income/wealth than I am or any other committed supporter. We need to in back to being a MEMBERS club. Where being a member means you have a say in running a club. Electing a committee to oversee and monitor the clubs employees. A radical idea ? Well no. It's just how clubs used to be run before we trusted in corrupt business men .

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Welcome to the part time Championships in that case

| Wakefield must be the worst run club in Rugby League, this must p*** the fans off, going bust every other week.

Probably no better or worse than any other club

| The sooner RL wakes up and smells the coffee the better the game cannot sustain full time professionalism since SL started Wakefield Halifax Oldham Hull Paris Workington Leigh Castleford Celtic London Bradford Widnes Hull KR Salford Sheffield others not in SL have had problems Dewsbury Featherstone KeighleyHunslet Swinton Barrow have all being bust or have had real money problems others like Huddersfield Warrington St Helens and now Salford are propped up by sugar daddies the game is in a mess
My love for Wakefield will never die my love of RL and the farce that SL has brought to the game has.
I will not attend today or next week I will not allow a knee jerk to the situation I need time to consider renewing my season ticket and continuing to pay into the 1873 If JE was to be sacked the decision maybe easier

It looks like he put too much faith in JE. Lets face it running a window company is one thing but entering what is traditionally a loss making business of running a SL club is another. I think Glover realised this but at the same time misjudged Elstons ability when he delegated him big responsibilities.

It gives me no pleasure to be visiting the Wakey site again under these circumstances, last time I visited was to commend your support after I joined you all in the south stand at the LSV for your game against Salford
My post was just in response to the suggestion of returning to a members club, I doubt it would work
All the best

| Sometimes saying less is best, we like probably quite a few clubs are strapped for cash but they don't advertise it quite so Publically. I blame many on this forum for their paranoia forcing our new chairman into an ilconcieved statement. He has with his announcement allowed open season by the press on all our players signed or not. If we sell more players I hope some on here are happy with their contribution.

| If you want proof of the Agents comments look at the post from Get Em On Side below - taking his bat home and not attending next game. Well aren't you the future! Well done Chairman - one down already! Get a grip!

| £400k hole, equates pretty much to the cost of selling seasons tickets too cheap last year. Bradford did the same you would have thought we would have learnt from them. Question then is who's idea was it?

| A bit of honesty, the fans want to know the situation; it's been explained.
If you want to walk that's your prerogative.
