The new staduim plans are progressing very nicley thank you, so is the squad for next season


As for finance Ted's always wheeled and dealed , whats with with obsession with Wakefield? theres a few SL clubs with worse financial worries than us

amazed that so many are feeding the obsessed! (and now me too, d'oh!)

wakey taking steps to be financially prudent makes complete sense. yes we have lower funds than most clubs and from where i'm standing still do pretty well all ends up. rather surprisingly the lower gates are producing lower net gate receipts, no shiit sherlock! maybe we should instead go and immediately sign a couple of high earners just to show we aren't going under.
maybe we have taken a calculated gamble in offloading players who are dispensible in order to spend a higher cap next year? maybe thats just too rational an argument? who knows, certainly not MG

In which post have I said two players equate to several?

Having a larger squad allows for some player rotation (as well as covering injuries). maybe wakey players are immune to such benefits. Most clubs find otherwise.

I do not doubt that some people are saying this. Just like they said it re thorne Park....and that was pre recession!

I know. So it amazing how so many wakey fans want to pretend otherwise. Some seem to think the rushed stadium naming scheme, the shares issues and 'movng'several players is unconnected to finance. You coud not make it up.

Other than Pitts, which is out of the hands of the club if he turns down our offer in favour of a move to Leeds, those two are the only ones we've offloaded (or sent out on loan) what is dumb about that when we have so much cover/alternatives in those two positions?

Thornes Park project was a council project, the new stadium is been put together by a community trust headed by Sir Rodney Walker. To say that you're so obsessed with us I thought you'd have known that.

Maybe squad rotation has not reached your part of wakey.

First Pitts could have stayed til the end of the season - if you made him an offer someone must rate him!. You could not playe Bibb /Rooney / Winterstein nor Petersen atm(if the sourecs on this are correct). Yet no one has been brought in. If you want to think that is simply good squad management...go ahead. I disagree.

the difference being you insist this means the club have significant money worries rather than just taking a business decision in order to move forward.

So lil old Thornes Park had nothing to do with trin?! Priceless.



You have a community trust.......wow.

Try reading what i write rather than making it up in your head.

I do not insist that a single indicator means financial problems. However when there are falls in gates + 'rushed' stadium naming scheme + a 'shares issue + several players off loaded etc it is not unreasonable to assume that there may be problems. The funny thing is the number of wakey posters who want to bury their heads in the sand or twist and turn through umpteen rationalisations.

Are you really that thick?

Sam Obst a player who plays halfback similar to Jamie Rooney was being questioned by plenty of Wakey fans after having a poor run of form. He was dropped for a couple of games, result = comes back a fresher, hungrier player and puts in two outstanding performances against Leeds and St. Helens. Rooney was given a similar chance before he was shipped out, he didn't respond in the same way that Obst did.

Moore, Bibey, Wilkes and Stosic have all been in and out of the team over the last 6 to 8 weeks for all different reasons. Bibb before he was loaned out was given a chance and didn't take it.

Murphy in for Petersen = rotation.



Kevin Henderson is now back in the squad and playing pretty well fighting for a new contract after missing a chunk of games for unfortunate reasons.

I'd also argue that bringing players in towards the end of the season when the team are playing well doesn't always have the desired effect.

Thank you for confirming that rotation works.

And even better that more than Pitts have been off loaded.

Once you grasp that having more players available allows more potential rotation you will be up to scratch. do let me know when you manage to grasp that fact.

Whats this 20 questions It would appear you dont actually know everything Wakefield then. I see your still practising the technique of selective misquoting in your act, rumour has it, it got you in trouble on the midgets board just mildly interested thats all

Never claimed to know all about wakey. Just seem to know more than the majority of wakey posters

Which is easy enough.

Have I been in trouble? Does rumour have it? oh dear.

It is so funny seeing some wakey fans getting so rattled about a few facts and then desperately claiming all these actions by the club do not suggest financial woes.

What is sad is you taking pleasure in the possibility of their being financial worries at Wakey. Even worse coming from a Hudds fan who but for some good luck i.e Davy and the stadium could well have been in financial trouble themselves.

If Wakey are so short on money how are they going to pay Newton and Morrison next year both players who will be commanding a relativley decent wage?

Maybe its a touch of payback from the crap dished out by Wakey fans in past years?

Do you feel sad? i don't feel sad at all.

We do have KD - who hs pledged his support to the giants long term - and a stadium. Its great. thanks.

With Scully / Drew/Rooney/Martin/Peteresen etc etc likely to be off the wage bill in 2010 I think there will be money for the 'Bradford rejects.'

Note to self, DO NOT FEED

FEEEEED the LAMB and he will drum......

its amazing init , we can put a man on the moon and cure back pain with infrared technology but every time you think you have got rid of thrush then up it pops with its horrible smell and disgusting appearance.

oh hello , everybody look its marsden back again

Why is it when Cas and Wakey, KR and Hoops start on these boards it just becomes a pi$$ing competition?

Is that a statement or a question

FEEEEEEEEEEEED the LAMB and he will sleep...........

I think the wakey fan J.T. was right when he wrote elsewhere:

"The fact that we have no wingers makes it even stranger that Petersen has apparently left for some unknown reason."

It is hardly surprising that it looks like short term penny pinching rather than brilliant management strategy.
