i refer to this trb when i say swag had prior knowledge

thats about right mate. might all work great in text books until you start trying to run a business yourself. when you have run a business for a number of years you learn that some bills don't get paid on time. in the building industry winding up orders are issued all the time but nt carried through. i'm sure a lot on here are just using this as an excuse to put the boot into the board and ted and his familywho i think do ok with the limited resources they have at their disposal. this is a storm in a teacup that will end in 3 months when the debt is paid off. then i am sure the doom and gloom merchants will find something else to whine about.we had a great season last season and assembled a great squad for next season. can't wait for it to start. p.s you should all stop wetting yourselves and get on with discussing rl

Nah - he only found out through me. Seriously, the first we knew about it was yesterday afternoon.

We did know about it just before the club's press release was put on the home site - and I can fully understand why that happened, but I feel the club could do a little more to placate the masses - that's personal opinion of course.

What does this have to do with SWAG (other than undermine their efforts to get us what we all know we need and want to keep us in SL)?

I think he just means that PB is in the SWAG 'in-crowd'

The more I look at this, the more it looks like old news from September which someone has now seen fit to leak to the media. And old news where the problem was resolved, quite possibly by selling players but that is speculation.

I thought we'd already had Mischief Night?

There's only one question for me, and that's based on the sale of BV. Most people on here only found out this season that the ground had been sold to clear outstanding debts. The figures mentioned at the time indicated that there was still a substantial amount in the war chest for other projects, and a final payment on the ground was still to be made. I don't have the facts at my fingertips, so I'm relying on dodgy memory here, but even taking this into account, I would have thought a debt like this would be covered comfortably by the money remaining from the sale of the stadium. I'm not trying to stoke the fires here, but for me, it just doesn't add up, even when you factor in the decline in revenue from this season. We must have had one pretty shocking season financially for all this to make sense.

I don't understand tax/business stuff/etc.
And I think nor do most have the ability to know-it-all.
So, instead of soap-boxing, why don't we take that comment on board?

It's a little difficult to believe their confidence that the money will be paid off, when they are the ones who got us in the brown smelly stuff to start with.

you can only pay tax on what you earn so i dont see ya point here, yes crowds were down but dont we get paid when sky covers our games

We have to take that comment on board, there's no other choice, otherwise, start counting down the 84 days (minus a couple) you can still enjoy the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats experience.

It doesn't mean (within reason, of course) that fans shouldn't question why we've got to where we are now, does it?

THEY are the ones?
As has already been said in previous posts, umpteen number of businesses are in a far worst state, because of choices that have to be made. We, WTRLC, have an apathetic public who will relish the front pages of our local comic tomorrow, (I have not bought it for a long time), and a bunch of people trying to make this club work, against a boat load of odds.
As stated, I don't understand taxes stuff etc., so cannot slate the people trying to keep us successful. I just assume that those slagging off the committee do understand that accountant stuff.

NO
