I am not Wakefield based, so can anyone summarise the gist of the Wakefield Express interview?

M.I.B. ??....nope - M.I.R.W.B !!! Sent from my steam-powered Sinclair ZX81.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46136.jpg



He basically says that there are not too many quality players available on the transfer market as clubs are holding on to their talent because of what's happening in 12 months i.e. 2 clubs to be relegated from SL.
He also says that if we do bring anyone in then someone else will likely have to leave to make way. However, he is confident of announcing new signings "in due course", but states that this is down to the coaching staff to decide on who they want. We are currently talking to Lee Smith and Ali, along with Ollie Wilkes, Danny Cowling (likely Halifax-bound though), Liam Kay and Matty Wildie.
Apparently the playing budget has not been affected, despite our financial problems, as plans were already in place.
More to follow in next weeks Wakey Express apparently !!

Thanks for that, interesting to see. Yes clubs are keeping hold of their talent but the young ones who havent been properly 'descovered' e.g playing in reserve grades not given a chance would be a risk, but a risk Id be willing to take.

Much of nothing to be honest.

So presume where not going to spend the full cap next year despite the messiah's promise when he first came in?

It goes to show that even with the very best of intentions unfulfilled bold statements can back fire badly.
Something that could go a long way to define his ownership?

Can't say I hold it against Andrew Glover for stating in year three Trinity would be spending the full cap. It was well intentioned. I suspect he's been let down by his management team, together with a dash of naivety on his part.

He also had no idea what he was taking over and the business of a sports club.

Quote: The Dreadnought "He also had no idea what he was taking over and the business of a sports club.'"

He did his due diligence he should have had some idea of what he was taking over.
I will pose this question is it a new regime or just the old people spending a new owners money?
If its the latter maybe AG or any mystery man in the wings may want to change things to avoid the mistakes of the past?
