Quote: PHe "BS is not man enough to say what was wrong and then states that there are others at the club (players/coaches) who have a similar opinion to his, thereby possibly opening up a rift not only between MC and the 'others', but also not knowing who these other opinion holders are. This 'stirring' could cause more unrest.'"


The thing is he can't name the others. BS was lucky he had other options but some of the players/coaching staff may not and rely on the wage they are getting, Looking at Friday's lack of effort by some he may be right in what he is saying.

It needs a response from MC and a true one at that.All this is doing is casting negativity about Wakefield Wildcats and we can do that no problem icon_biggrin.gif

Wait a minute!

Brian Smith is responsible for the performances so far and more so for the one on Friday! It's that fact that he's trying to distance himself from at the expense of the club and now some of its coaching staff.

I think Mick Carter can be accused of a few things but not being truthful isn't one of them, he's truthful to the point of being dour!

Who's casting the negativity?
Let me help out, The answers Brian Smith!

Heard a few interesting things from a few people recently regarding BS. Heard he wanted to invest in the club himself and was given short shrift. I think this fits with the almost bitter edge to his comments in my opinion. Also heard MC hasn't quite been as truthful as everyone thinks about how long he has been involved at the club!!

Good coach or not Smith's gone now, he gave up the right to voice his opinion as far as I'm concerned when when he walked out on us last week leaving us in the brown stuff having spent all our money on players what are perceived not good enough, and now he's decided to cause some mischief from afar under the guise of being worried for the club and it's fans, if that's the case why doesn't he just go back home and retire gracefully instead of causing no end of embarrassment for Carter the club and those fans he talks so lovingly about.

Getting drunk and rambling on Facebook is not a very dignified way for him to end his tenure - and that's on top of walking out at a crucial part of the season having been unable to improve the on-field performances.

I had respect for BS and was pleased when we retained him - but I've lost that respect - he's handling himself like a rank amateur.

Brian Smith should say what he means or shut up! Ask the right questions? What's the point? If he has real concerns and cares about the people left behind say what you mean Brian! What has he got to lose? If not stay quiet and get on with your life back in Australia!

You and I don't normally see eye to eye but agree with you 100%. All his comments have done nothing but cause more worry and unrest, and has the potential to cause further irrepabke damage. Why doesn't he either tell the entire truth ( or from his perspective anyway) or better yet why doesn't keep his bitter trap shut eusa_think.gif

Well for me if you are going to say anything then bloody man up and say what you mean or is troubling you if not shut up lets face it One of our fans took MC up on his offer to go into the club and see for himself what is going on at the club. If anything was seriously wrong would you think for a moment MC would make that offer and do you think the said fan would keep quiet after no I thought not. Brian Smith I challenge you to be a man and do one or the other - put up or shut up

Quote: know "If someone knows Craig Poskitt, as I don't, could u please pass this on.

You are kidding yourself if you think anyone knows anything about budgets or finances including this 4th head coach at WTW under current regime.

How could you "know" that I knew?

Oh I know MC told you so! Will this outburst of unfounded rubbish help you to get that job u apparently want at WTW?

And to set you straight and lots of others perhaps the lack of expertise, desire and commitment to do something - anything - about those financial problems was and remains the issue for everyone who cares about that great club.

Perhaps you are the savior Craig. Good luck with it. Look forward to seeing what you come up with but make sure it's legal as Wakey have enough problems without that.'"

MC has been quite economical with the truth over a few issues at times but it's his club to run as he see's fit so thats his choice. Sadly due to a lack of people queuing at the door it seems we are stuck with him and as such this club will never move forward and will wollow in the lower reaches of superleague until the day finally comes and the luck runs out and it drops to the championship.

All this ugly affair is doing our club no good at all, we have enough problems already but it does raise questions.

Is an accountant the best person to run a SL club?

What does BS know that made him say enough is enough? If he didn't care wouldn't he just continue to see his contract out and keep taking he money?

Why have our last three coaches quit? Agar said he was fed up with lack of resources, Webster said we needed an experienced coach to take Wakey forward, Smith walked out after a Frosty relationship!

MC has done a great job at balancing the books and keeping Wakey alive but does he have what it takes to be competive, does he have any ambition or was he simply balancing the books, paying off the debts and getting some of his money back? His he really working for free? If so why?

At the end of the day it's his club and he can do what he wishes, I just don't see any way our once great club will survive in SL with MC and it seems his last three head coaches agree we need help.
