He called us a laughing stock I believe. If we are so short of money can someone explain why we have increased our cash in hand to over £750,000 and reduced the shareholder’s loan by £80,000.

| Quote ="The Avenger"I think those saying Applegarth was the reason for the upturn in performances last season are really doing Willie Poching an injustice. I get that people want to find compelling reasons for Applegarth appointment but attributing someone else’s work and efforts to him is a bit of a reach. We saw some very good performances from the team sporadically throughout the season, we strung 2s and 3s together then had a decent finish which IMO was in character for the team.
Applegarth will stand or fall on HIS teams performances and results during the coming season just as Willie has!
On that I find some of the statements by the club/Minards a little bit disingenuous. Based on Carters constant insistence that we spend less than everyone else in SL, where exactly did they expect us to finish in the League?
We lost by one score or less on 8 occasions and finished 10th above Warrington and 10 points clear of relegation. Yes it was frustrating and even worrying at times but Willie Poching was never afforded a complete pre season which included spending the recruitment budget on players he felt we needed. Despite that Poching had a 47% win/loss ratio, tell me the last Coach who bettered that?
Exactly what type of review can you possibly have undertaken, asking players who are leaving the club? Speaking to staff behind Willie Poching’s back while he’s still in post? Sorry but it doesn’t ring true to me and Minnards complete shut down of any insight into what the review entailed suggests to me that there was no review and they just took the decision because they didn’t feel happy with Willie.
Good Luck to Applegarth, I hope it works out for him, the club and the us (the fans).
In 12 months time the decision might look like a stroke of genius but no matter what the outcome good or bad, I’m not convinced by the BoDs explanation.'"
Pretty much echoes my exaxct thoughts.

| Probably because the business is not being run on debt and is in a healthy state.

For what it is worth, Terry Connor spoke highly of Mash and put over some good points.

You just go onto spirit of 1873 which shows the last financial report for the period ending November 2021.

Wilkin said he didn't know Applegarth so couldn't say anything about him.

You need to see somebody about your split personality, answering your own questions. It was something to do with a podcast he does with the woman from Sky.

TBH, I couldn't give a sh*t what Wilkin thinks or says.....
He's a complete tool.

| I get the feeling you believe I made it up but it on the Twitter account for someone called Erin Moore. I stand corrected he did not state the club was a laughing stock but was somewhat less than positive about our new head coach, who he doesn’t know. It was more an implied insult regarding our selection.

Errrm. I thought you didn't do social media? That's why you are always moaning about the website and the club not communicating to you.

You can read twitter until you are blocked and asked to sign in or register. I hope this clarifies your confusion, nothing very technical.

Nope not at all. I'm still confused.
I'm not clear whether you made your point about Wilkin up just so you could call the club ridiculous or whether you can see social media posts by the club and that while thread was made up. Or both
I'm going to bed now. Have a think about it.

Nothing really. That was the problem.
A brief news clip Sky had that Jenna Brooks asking him what he knew/thought about Mark Applegarth and he said he knew nothing. She typically giggled away and that was it. The tweet was removed by Sky soon after to save face for Wilkin mainly and the giggly blonde too I guess.
Sky, Wilkin and the woman are the only ones who came out of that one minute spot with any negativity. Good to see many, including Adrian Vowles, weighing in since to highlight what a prick Wilkin is.
Terry O'Connor has since done a report on behalf of Sky. Face saver I presume.

| Wilkin has a dig at Trinity every chance he gets, and apart from being out of his depth, he's so damned boring. Makes O'Connor sound interesting! Surprised Sky keep him on!
