Apparently there are a number of fans who question the commitment to the club of our Chairman.

Well in the hope that this will end any speculation as to his 100% desire to see Wakefield Trinity rise from the ashes of the Elston era, here is some information regarding our accounts.

We seem to have made a small profit from the 2014 season which in turn followed what looked like an inflated profit from the 2013 season.

The accounts also state£853,500 is owed to Chairman Michael Carter.

I guess for the few even this might not be enough but surely it illustrates that right or wrong the decisions being made are always made with the best of intentions and not designed to cause hurt or hardship.

Can we all get behind this, we are in the fight of our lives and we need to pull together again!

Never thought Carter was doing this for any other reason than to protect his own interests, and with that amount owed its completely understandable.

Out of interest how much did Glover agree to write off? i think it was a similar sort of figure.

The real story here is that Michael Carter has put over £850,000 of his money into our club!

If he was just protecting his own interests then his money would be in his bank!

Indeed, but if he wasnt protecting his interest he'd have writen his debt of too.

I am happy with how Carter is running the club other than a few key areas.

Having read the full article it confirms he wants his money back.

Do we judge the Chairmen of other clubs in the same way then?

Are Fulton, Davy, Lenighan, O'Conner, Hudgell, Moran and Co all protecting their own interests?

I don't get your warped logic, as I said before, if you were protecting your own interests you wouldn't put your money in or even get involved in the first place!

As for writing it off,
Glover wrote his money off because he wanted to walk away and have done with it, despite the bad wrap he gets on here I believe he had a conscience with regards his part in the position the club was in.

If or when that decision comes to Michael Carter I'm sure he'll do what circumstances dictate and allow.

Why shouldn't he?

He should and I'm not criticising him for it but it concurs with my first post. If the club went kaput he'd lose his £850k.

Does it say how much Brereton is owed/has put in?

I thought Glover agreed to not get his money back until the club could afford it, not having it written off?

My take on this as far as I know is that Glover wiped off what he was owed so he and Elston wasn't brought to task with what happened to the money that were owed to a variety of people or organisations.
But I could be way off.

Also anybody that questions what Mr Carter is doing should look in the mirror and give their head a good shake.

Its simple but some people don't get it NO CARTER would have meant NO CLUB sit and think before SLAGGING off

Only my first bit is for you Mable

No, but from the figures shown I guess it's around £100k - £150k

No fans also means no club. Carter cannot continue to alienate some of the hard core support like he has done in the past and quite rightly deserves criticism in this regard.

I don't disagree with any of that but I hope people see the level to which MC and CB have gone to keep the club solvent and allowing it to trade.

I think the both of them would be quite candid about the steep, almost vertices, learning curve they're in with regards some elements of running a sports club.

Criticism is fine by me when warranted but it should be measured and constructive and always given with the knowledge that whatever the circumstances the clubs intentions are good yet sometimes naive or poorly informed.

Its M C club I have said before he can run it as he sees fit. if i had put my house up I would adopt the same attitude. I think hes been on a steep learning curve and during that journey would have been advised to sit on his hands and button his lip from time to time. He seemed to adopt a totally f u attitude and tried to lay the problems at the club firmly at the supporters door.
Its in interests to run the club so eventually he can get his stash back, and you can not blame him for that.
Criticism comes with the job and will come in all sorts of areas, and will quite often split opinions .
