The Sun right on the Pulse then.

Its not exactly looking good... bringing back events of what happened shortly after the Pearman Saga.

But I'll wait for the usual bodies to come on here and defend the club, I'll expect something like....

"Its all usual stuff in the off season, we get rid of a receptionist she was only a temp anyway, we will bring a new one in when the season starts again. As for the wages, unfortunately the link between our account and their accounts broke down, BT are to blame somewhere down the lines, not Wakefield, we have money spilling out of our banks.

P.S. Keep believing, stay strong, think of the 22nd October... new ground and all that blah blah blah."

Countdown begins now for the disappearance of this thread 10 - 9 - 8 .........

We are most defintely up that creek without the correct equipment to get us back.

Oh wait 22.10.2010 all the problems disappear.

We don't deserve our place in the top flight while the club is being run by Dopey, Grumpy & company. I always thought euro disney was in Paris, but it seems there is another mickey mouse organisation in Wakefield.

I have read all these comments about how Ted would give his shares away if the right person came along. Anyone who believes that probably starts their day with the words 'Once upon a time'. The fact is although he and his BoD have kept us a float and in the league they are also the causes of our downfall. No proper business man would plough money into something and then get rid of it for nothing, especially one who is in an IVA.

Like it or not the Titanic had more chance staying afloat.

Quote from the sun
"=#FF0000The players deserve much better and I hope the club's promise of only a 48-hour delay is adhered to."

The players will have the same feeling as we did this season then

=#FF0000short changed If you ask me they should count themselves lucky to even get a wage after some of the sh!!!!te that was served up by them.

It's a shame that the Sun doesn't report how good the club are doing in the community and helping young people.

Just how much more can this club and its supportters take. We are told so called facts, which usually turns out to less than the whole truth. If this club is to survive, not just in superleague, but survive. Things have got to change !

your spot on

micky mouse could run the club better than the the set of muppets currently at the helm

Bang on, cant believe this thread has not been locked yet due to its negative contations!

I personally don't believe a word that is written in the s*n, so i am not going to believe this until i hear it from a reputable source.

I'm here!



It's not usual, and it is difficult, but there are things being done to secure the future of the club. The issue which interrupted the payments is resolved and normal trading has returned, but you are right - the 22nd October is absolute key to everything going forward and I hope that would put any personal issues to one side and join us by the Town Hall on that day to support the future of professional sport in Wakefield.

Is that enough Wildcats blah, blah for you?

Not that it would matter with The Sun, but losing John Huxley will be a blow in terms on dealing with the aftermath of stories like this.

Take note all you fisherman.... use the correct bait and eventually the fish will come and catch it !!

In all fairness what could he do ? Tell The Sun it was all false ? Even though the rumours of it been all over the players facebook pages appeared on here at the beginning of the week.

I don't really go for all the "we're doomed" posts so I would probably be tagged as a club supporter but not paying people who work for you is the worsed form of mismanagement. Nees to be sorted quick and something put in place to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The receptionist being layed off is not a good enough excuse.

So I still support the club, cos that is what suporters should do in my opinion...........but I don't support a management team who do this.

They have been paid accoring to the club website. wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/2010/10/club-statement/

They have been paid. End of story.... Not that they should of been paid after that season

Looks like a genuine cock-up. Problem is things like this in troubled times can get players in the frame of mind that "why should I give 100% when I might not get paid for it."

Even if we get the ground we aren't endearing ourselves to the RFL.

The main issue here is, this question.

Which is the only club in Super League, Championship, Championship 1 & 2, National Conference, Saturday League, Sunday Pub Team League who recently has had to publish news on their website in response to stories about having to fight off both a tax man attack and a players not been paid story ?

The Answer.... Wakefield Trinity Wildcats

The club which is still dreaming of a SL franchise next year and dreaming of a new ground by 2095.

To put it simple... the stories dont exactly fill the average supporter with much confidence over the clubs immeduiate future... do they ?

He could do nothing with The Sun, I think I admitted that, but his experience and contacts can help get more positive stories in other outlets than perhaps others can.

Mud sticks, again. I guess no-one can sort it out. Even that Chloe girl gets better publicity than we do…

Obviously I need to be friends with players on Facebook to get gossip these days too!

When I ran my own business the first thing that you realise is that the 1st priorityis to make sure that money is put aside every month for the Inland Revenue and the 2nd priority is that there is enough money to pay your employees on the correct date of the month.
