| Quote ="TRB"Wowww there!!!!
I made no comments that were anything other than my own feelings on the matter. I have not commented either way on the financial stuff, other than to say that I am not aware of any truth in the rumours of any difficulties, as I do not have a definitive answer to give.
My comments were to the effect that what we see on the pitch usually reflects events off it. There are clearly unhappy people at the club - I have no idea as to why - other than the usual 'it's contract time' bit.
If anything, my understanding is that the club are planning to take us forward - and perhaps some of our players have realised that they are not good enough to be part of it? I really don't know!

There is something which is unsettling them - whether that comes from within the club or without is debatable!

| Quote I'll tell you what I know about this supposed situation!
Over the last ten days Ive spent at least nine hours a day at Belle Vue. I've spoken to just about every player on the books, the Commercial Director, Commercial Manager, Chairman, Vice Chairman, Coach, Receptionist, Groundsman, Bar Manager and Mrs B who's been at the club for 43 years.
Not one of them has offered any kind of sign that there's any form of financial problem at the club. . NONE. . NADA. . ZIP.
Now either every member of staff have been briefed about towing the party line and have taken the art of acting to a level that Pacino, De Niro and Sir Lawrence Olivier himself would be proud of or . . . wait for it guys cos it's worth hearing. . .
There is no financial problems at Wakefield!

Here speaks the poster who suggests the club sign taumata. A guy who will not qualify for a visa/wp
They haven't offered a sign? What were you hoping to see? Ted and John Kear busking at the Ridings
You have done your job and got a few brownie points at HQ. Back in the real world the points listed by wadski stand.

Your obvious desperation for their to be financial problems at Wakefield is sad.

No desperation at all.
There are financial problems.
The club tried ' denying' players were being moved yet players/coaches etc in the game know otherwise.
If you think your fall in gates is not having a major financial impact you are in la la land.
carry on denying such things if it makes you feel great.

There would be financial problems at your club if it was not Davey's hobbyhorse.
I am sure that every player and coach in SL are breaking their necks' in an effort to supply you with the latest gossip at Wakefield
We would have to be a relative of La La to think any differently dont you think, and how can we deny such things when you and wadski are on hand most of the day to remind us, but at least it shows the pair of you care and on behalf of the Wakey fans I would like to thank you for your interest. By the way its just an observation really but it must be awfully boring still, on the Hudds board that you prefer to voice your concern about a club you allegedly dislike so much You might do well to keep in touch with your own board so that you dont miss out on any gossip just a thought.

Yes, like many SL clubs it is great to have a backer like KD. If Richardson walked you would likely go bust.
Not every coach etc etc. But I was making reference to the scully/Korki swap hours before anyone else - go figure
You are welcome to your knuckle dragging observations. Like other wakey fans you would rather speculate on poster motivations than deal with the facts.
Will watch your reserves on saturday. Wonder we will rack up 50 pts....again

from the sale at the end of 2007 the money has gone from £1.7M to 0.5M. That is £1.2M down in 17 months and includes a season where they reached a CC semi!'"
Your own accounts arent too healthy.
I believe Huddersfield Giants Ltd have a current negative net worth of 4m and for the last two years(accounting) you have blown circa £1m and that included a year in which you were in the CC FINAL.

The contrary is believed to be true actually!
At least 2 separate buyers wanted the club, but TR refused to release his grip. This led to a senior official leaving the club and a major fall out with a sponsor.
Do I need to "alledgedly"?

And this means that you are not having difficulties?
KD has made it clear he will be around for several years and that he would never leave the club with any debt. We fans are very lucky.
If you have the smarts to look at accounts then you can the smarts to look at all that is happening at Trin. I doubt it is rosy to you.

Whilst I appreciate the reference I deal in facts only. I have not posted anything further on the Wakefield financial position for a couple of days - mainly because there are no more facts worth mentioning.
I could have raised the issue that the club branded the gate against Huddersfield a success on their own website, stating that the crowd was bolstered by the community programme.
[url=http://www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/community-activities-give-wildcats-crowd-boost-i605684.htmlLink[/url
I could have mentioned the reverse economics of swapping a higher paid player for a lower paid one whilst still paying the higher salary for a player not playing for you.
[url=http://giantsrl.dnsupdate.co.uk/latestNews/NewsArticle.asp?Index=2753Link[/url
I could have mentioned about the sale of Leeds-Bradford airport and the 5 councils all getting varying amounts of millions from it. Wakefield MBC has spent it's money on 'general expenditures' - this money could have been allocated to your stadium project but clearly has been used to fill a hole in it's own funds yet where will the £30million for the stadium come from?
[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/8021160.stmLink[/url
Whilst you like to lump me into the same bag as MarsdenGiant I can categorically state all I have done is pull together all the facts that are out there that most people know about and put them into one easy to read list (with a cheap quip from myself which I hold my hand up for).
If there is no problem at Wakefield then feel free to bury your head in the sand and wait for the new stadium to rise from the ground in the middle of a recession.

The only ‘theory’ I have is, you were at one point, a Wakefield supporter, who became disillusioned for whatever reason, and swapped allegiances.
Yet you still haven’t answered the question – are you an ex-Wakefield fan?

And presumably if Davey walked Hudds would be okay financially, because all those so called fans that Davey is paying through the turnstiles for free would still support you.
Oh its not every coach now, sorry I thought that, that was what you were implying when in reality you were just trying to give the impression that you knew everybody and his dog connected to SL And fwiw there were quite a few Wakefield fans knew yesterday morning what you knew re Korki/Scully so you might go dwell on that or as you put it go figure
Not sure what knuckle dragging observations are love thats right over my head. And like most Wakey fans I deal with the real world and not that of make believe we seem to spend most of our time speculating what rubbish bitter and twisted posters from the Hudds board can drag up about us, as laughable and amusing as it is it does get boring reading your drivel after a while.
Oh and finally good luck to your reserves' at the weekend. I hope you get all you wish for. With you having half your first team squad in and we just playing the academy players' your wish will probably come true.

I have followed Wakefield for the best part of forty years, in that time they have won jack-all, but I would never change my allegiance to another club, I would have thought it similar to a Jew converting to Islam. But your fixation with all things bad about Wakefield Trinity must have a deep rooted reason. I’m just trying to help you release those demons .
