I'll wait until I see anything confirmed. If true does it mean something in the wings or a death knell?

not sure but the HMRC WUP was due to be heard before 11 this morning , in the Companies Court. Coincidence?

Steps down from what? Owner, chairman? If it paves the way for new investment then fair enough but I hope he is still involved in some way.

Anybody know much about Mick Carter? His background, financial backing, business acumen?

Does not sound good. If true, hopefully this guy has seen what needs to be sorted and can do it. Has he any money to pay wages though??

I think its the wrong person stepping down, but that may happen as a consequence regardless.

Michael Carter is an accountant by trade and recently came into a significant amount of money; not enough to bankroll a SL club in a Ken Davey-esque way, but he's certainly not short of a bob or two.

Thanks Bren. I hope this is a positive move for the club then.

I think he was also the first director to join the board shortly after 1873 was formed.

Wasn't his money made with a bus company , the Yorkshire traction company in Barnsley seems to ring a bell.

I think he also had the number 23 squad number last season.

I guess thats who the devil within was, with daddycool being kept out of the loop.

Anyhow if true...,.GOOD LUCK MICK

"But plans to move to a new ground have stalled"
That part of the article worries me the most, what does it mean???

Wow this has come from left field. Hopefully it will herald a change in other areas too as it is needed.

Lazy journalism.Techically they have until the enabling development is built out.

I thought Elston would be gone instead, this has come out of the blue

I thought he was the new messiah?
Just for Elston to do the honourably thing now.
He must see he is holding the club back!
Maybe AG didn't want to sack him so let someone else do it!!

The Yorkshire Traction Company was purchased from the Government on deregulation by a Management Buy Out and was headed by a Frank Carter. It was sold to Stagecoach in 2005.

Could well be his family.

Noticeably his Twitter account no longer says he is chairman of Wakefield Trinity

Free buses to Newmarket then?

Correct.

Think AG is going away for two weeks now, sure he tweeted this at the weekend
