FACT: A CEO is responsible to either the chairman of a company or in this case the owner. His job is to ensure that he builds a team around himself to make the business successful and to ensure that continuity is paramount. JE is punching way above his weight in his present roll and Glover needs to grow a pair and show him the door because with his crass signings during the Kear - Agar transition and his failure to stabilise the club now it is apparent that he is not the man for that roll.

No idea whether your right or wrong but if you arent paying certain bills you have more money to spend on certain players! The club I presume get the sky money every month which goes to pay the players but not the bills?? just a theory...

Love 'em yes but very disillusioned right now. And finding it hard to keep justifying pouring money into a failing club, yeah after year, decade after decade.

There's Only One F in Wakefield:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2334.png



Quote: bazzo44 "Think AG thought JE knowledge of RL players was good, thats why he gave him the green light to sign them at first, lets face it, AG did not know a RL player from a golfer'"


Smith? Collis? Amor? Raleigh? Kirmond? Ali? Cockayne?

We have a right to question the management, but come on, I think this is all a bit unwarranted tbh. Until we know what the situation is, best keep the powder dry. We are performing at our level atm, and had the best season in a while last year. Why always with the negative waves?

EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_31007.jpg



In terms of player acquisition, it is right that AG knows next to nothing. I was told from a good source that he had hardly been to a game before he bought the club. I was told something tonight that suggested we are in the usual doo-dah financially.

Strategically, I think AG is getting it right. He is building a solid base for Newmarket by getting membership numbers up and doing what they can to promote things. They can't magic the crowd numbers. What he is perhaps getting wrong is realising that everything has to be run right before Newmarket. Macron need to be paid. People who deal with the club expect to be paid.

What I was told tonight almost made me cancel my 1873 direct debit. I haven't been to many games this year due to personal commitments, but the "got to stand behind the sticks" mantra made less interested in making the trip. I give them all the benefit of the doubt at the moment, but i think it is really Newmarket or bust.

JE is a shareholder, albeit a small one but it probably makes it difficult to remove him. His track record is indeed poor.

Seems within the last few weeks a new co has been set up,"Wakefield Trinity Wildcats Ltd" with the same two owners, AG & JE.........makes you wonder what this is all about?

onetiger = half a cabbage The night is dark and full of terrors. Winter is coming.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17219.jpg



Quote: Shifty Cat "Basically you don't trust him because of the Cedar Court meeting, each to their own mate.


I haven't got a clue what goes on at the club just like most others and I won't even pretend to. But as far as Glover goes, he's got far more right imo than he's got wrong and how can't you respect a guy that took over the club, when we dead and buried. Stuck thousands of his own money and given a bit of stability to the club. Sure he's made mistakes but he was bound to having not owned a RL club before especially this one but I'm not going to hold that against him. Must be a bit of a nightmare running this club, juggling money, not enough fans, no multimillionaire owner, old ground, lost sponsorship etc.

Also if I was him I'd wonder why I'd bother tbh because there does seem to be a collection of fans and I'm not talking about you at all, mostly people on the terraces, that seem to have a circle jerk at every piece of bad news or rumor at the club.

Anyway we might not always agree but I do think you're a great poster.'"



No doubt at all its been hard to make ends meet and thats why fans like us spend what we can to help the club in our own small way, or at least untill we feel that "together we are stronger" does not ring true

Does someone want the explain to me why we signed Nick Fozzard and Mr T when we can't pay the bills, someone who's business minded maybe could explain because it makes no sense to me.

In fairness, this is common practice - most businesses you deal with will actually own several registered companies; it's usually about tax efficiency, but there are any number of legitimate reasons for it to happen.

Is it common practice with RL clubs or just general business?

Surprised it wasn't registered as "James Elston and Andrew Glover Football Club Ltd".

I know this started as a positive thread but these little snippets are sounding depressing familiar. No doubt its a struggle getting money through the tills/gates with such a small supporter base, and I hold no ill will to AG, Trinity would already be in the Championship were in not for him, but I'd rather the day to day running of the club was done properly instead of mid season signing and contract extensions being made ahead of good business practise. If Trinity have to sell some of their better players to keep the club afloat so be it.
