And herein lies the arguement. If the club had come forward and explained these sort of questions so the fans had some form of an understanding why we are in the pickle that we are in, then I would suspect that more than 10 investors would have come forward.

Too much secrecy.. too many lies... within the select

Starbug, you make a lot of good points and the grief your getting is because a lot of it what people don't want to hear.

They is no doubt decisions have been made which have contributed to the situation we now find the club in and things could been done a hell of a lot better, but as a club with small support and no wealthy benefactor it's also a case of trying to spin too many plates at the same time. Those plates have been wobbling for a while and are now falling off.

Personally I believe the inevitable now is administration. The lack of info and confusion regarding the share offer has largely contributed to that. I think most fans accept Trinity will be the club to leave SL in July, if they are still an entity of some sort. The key now is making the best of what the future holds.

If Mr Richardson has invested his own money over they years in the Wildcats that will have been in the form of loans, if Mr Richardson then decides to call the loans back in that is his right, especially as it appears he is ready to stand down.

One easy way to do this would be to drastically reduce the wage bill to players, something that is surely obvious to us all that has happened for this coming season. Lets not forget there is the money from SKY and the lower the wages the more money left over.

So it is very easy for TR to recoup the monies he has loaned to the club at the same time selling his shares to the genral public. TR can walk away form the club with no loss to himself but at the same time no gain.

' left over ' , how do you equate that with losing money , year on year ? , yes he might want to cover perhaps a guarantee or two against himself personally , but to suggest ' no loss ' after how many years ?

Get real

I suggest it is you that should get real and wake up to what is actually happening.

Whatever peoples opinion TR is a succesful businesman and succesful businessmen are not in the habit off giving money away.

Let me put it simply for you:

4 super league players on 100k / year

Release those players and sign 4 average players on 30k / year

Savings = 280k

Now tell me an investor cannot recoup the money and while there may be money left over it has still gone but to the investor who wants his money back.

You have looked at the squad for this season?
