| Maybe we should have insisted he invest as a shareholder before giving him the job in the first place ?

Although you seem to have malfunctioning BOD I don't think SF resigning can all be put down to them.
SF is a good bloke but he is also very ambitious for himself rather than the club he's at. He wants the chance to run his own SL club without interference but with financial backing. The problem is Steve comes to the table with no real cash of his own. What he wants is to spend other peoples money without having them question him. I think if this were to happen Steve would probably succeed - however in the real world people with serious money tend to want to be totally involved in how it's used.
So unless this incredibly trusting individual exists which I doubt Steve will always be the firefighter who turns clubs around but is never the one to lead them to the promised land. It's sad but true because it happened twice at Wakefield.
Best of luck to both parties.'"
Potentially a fair assessment. I'd read about SF having itchy feet on the Wakey board as he joined but I didn't expect him to go so soon. The disappointing thing is, him & Foz were making progress steadily. There was a genuine feel good factor about the place going into the new season. Everyone knows it isn't an easy job and will take time, Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.

SF is a good bloke but he is also very ambitious for himself rather than the specific club he's at. He wants the chance to run his own SL club without interference but with financial backing, who that club is isn't overly important. This is not a bad thing as emotion is no great friend to an administrator. The problem is Steve comes to the table with no real cash of his own. What he wants is to spend other peoples money without having them question him. I think if this were to happen Steve would probably succeed - however in the real world people with serious money tend to want to be totally involved in how it's used.

This makes abundant sense. Steve's a good man but probably a frustrated one.
He worked alongside Gary Hetherington for long enough at Sheffield and probably thinks he has the know-how to replicate what he's done at Leeds if only he is given the chance. But, as stated, he comes with little or no capital so it's always going to be a problem, sadly.

| He gave his reasons for leaving, the club could not afford to fund the multiples of changes he wants to make. He wont be out of work for long, some one who can afford to pay for his dreams will set him on.
if you take on a job with a team who you know has no money, why ask for a blank check

| As a Bradford fan i have to say that i was impressed massively by your performance against as last weekend. the score line didn't reflect the performance in the end. I hope that you can resolve what ever off field problems that you may be experiencing as you have a great club with great fans and deserve to be successful.

Admin could be the solution. I can understand why Fulton's making a stand though if thats is what he has put in. Same at Fev - Feisal will want his coin back one day (with interest ).

| I don't think you can take something into admin. Doesn't it have to be bankrupt first and then admin is a way of avoiding actual bankruptcy?

| I heard SF wanted to bring in some business brains, people working for the club to take us forward but not putting any coin in themselves. This was then refused by the BOD.

| If Cas went into administration then we'd lose the ground and have nowhere to play - the WR land is an asset and would be treated as such by any competent administrator. If Cas do call in the administrators then it's likely we can wave goodbye to any chance of top flight Rugby in Cas.
...Still think it's a good thing?
Me, I reckon Smokey TA's behind this - the things some folk'll do to get out of a marathon.

Not that I necessarily disagree that administration would be a bad thing, but surely an administrator would have the same issues as the club in realising the value of WR? Also, regardless of how a sale tales place, if the club has outstanding debts, the proceeds of a sale would presumably be used to pay these debts. More of a concern for me would be the position it leaves us with regards to franchises. You would suspect it would leave us as one of the weakest when coupled with our league finishes the last two years.
Did anyone attend the meeting with Gill after the match? I'd be very interested to find out what was said.
