It was a bit of advertising yes, but then at the same time, his TV advertising had the Wildcats logo there too, so that can be deemed as advertising.
I think Francis and Nicks time at Wakefield were at different times.

| Glover did half the job really well.
If you could merge him with Carter you'd have the perfect owner/CEO.
His marketing and publicity for Trinity was great.....just didn't keep an eye on the pennies so much.

Pretty much agree with that statement.
Having said that, he was not the only person on the board who was made aware of the financial status, or authorised to make payments on behalf of the club. All financial reports, such as aged creditors/debtors, cashflow etc, was presented to everyone involved in the fortnightly board meetings.

He certainly did.
Also for his sins, a certain person, with fingers in loads of pies, not too poplular with Wakefield fans, put his hand in his pocket to pay an unpaid tax bill of around £175k.
Where would we be now, if that hadn't of got paid when it was?

I hope you are joking!
It took Ted 15 years to bankrupt the club, it took Glover 18 months to do the same. Trinity have dad some appalling leadership through the years, but Glover is second only to Pearman. who bankrupted the club in less than 6 months.
You and everyone else are entitled to your opinion on Carter, but re-writing history you're not, compared to those two in particular he's a genius.

| Just remind us who was the accountant and therefore financial advisor at the time of Glover’s reign and what amount of money that he invested did he take back out because I presume the amount he didn’t is included in the director’s loans on the accounts.
