Is there any need to be a smart ? I didn't actually think you was talking about the Coaching situation when you talk of underhand tactics etc but wasn't it common knowledge that he wasn't first choice and we wanted Millward before him and Gentle.

| Either way, it's looking very cosy again at the top table.

| The problem with the cosyness at the previous top table, was that it was proved to be detrimental to the good running of the club, and that many of those where not qualified to do the jobs they had fortuitously found themselves doing.

Its just so happens that the best men for the job are all bestest buddies, thats a stroke of luck eh.
Agar was always going to get the job despite JE telling us different.

You did say it was, so I assumed you were.
However if you weren't and I fully accept you may not have being, without letting the lunatics completely daub the assylum with their own faeces this time round, we have yet to see if this set of inmates are going to have a negative affect on the running of said asylum.
They all appear to be qualified to do their jobs, so that should make a significant difference.

Still is the problem. I've said it from the start, AG does not have the money required to do what we all want him to do. This is made worse if what I'm told is true that AG made himself a major obstacle when Parkin wanted in.
Now I'm not saying Parkin would have been better, but I do think money would not be as big an issue.

From what you have been told ..........go on then do as , as one does vasty name the source
all this Parkin is making me vomit , its getting as tedious as the mystery sheik who was going to pump trillions into the club only he didn't like teddy and vausey wouldn't let him sit on the back seat of the supporters bus.
If parkin wanted to wade in with his size 15 dockers and wave his magic wand bringing in 17 world beaters and Wayne Bennett he would of done , fact is this is planet earth a place you n a few others should drop by a few times .
hope this hasnt started you week off to bad sweetcheeks

We are still in SL, we are more stable, we have a plan, we have a strengthening squad, matchday revenue is going in to the club coffers, e are in a position to attract spectators via the season ticket offer, and even if we don't get 2500, it'll be more than the 100 or so we had last year.
If you don't think that's improvement...............

Dont know about the rumours regarding AG, so cant comment. The thing though with Parkin was, if he was really really really interested he would be the owner, so either he wasnt that interested or he was interested only in part of the deal, and that appeared to be the ground.
As far as i can see, there are two ways we can go forward, with the money and owner we have and the people of the city behind the club or with a sugar daddy with a load of cash.
We are part way down the path with the first and nowhere with the second, so its a bit of a no brainer.
As ive posted on numerous occasions, AG doesnt have the Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£ needed to bankroll us, what he has got though is the ability to improve the general efficiency of the club and market us better (and that will all pay dividends), but until the people of wakefield get of their s we will always be a small club that sells most of its best players.

Apologies for the sarcasm but I couldn't resist.
My point was that the Agar situation gives us no cofidence that the Murphy situation will be done for the benefit of "The Club". Ultimately some individual or individuals in a position of control will do exactly as they like and sod the club/fans/potential fans.

I think you make a good point in the regards that the appointment of Agar is always (in some fans eyes) going to put individuals in a tight corner, thats for them to sort out IMO.
What we must remember is that with all sports clubs, what's best for the fans, isn't always best for the club, and if the club get it wrong big styleee, then decisions such as the one mentioned can come back and bite HARD!

Glover did say on twitter that Collis is Agar's first signing so I'm thinking RA is in control of the squad now.

Take more than a lame brain like you to spoil my week, don't flatter yourself.
Read it again silly Mutley. I was suggesting Parkin had the kind of cash needed, never said he'd spend it - try harder.
I suggest you join planet earth son, I'm more than aware how RL works and the state it's in. This is in total contrast to you, a person who appears to be mentally disturbed.

can't see how that could be true though. he signed about a week after agar being announced. agar is our third choice man, so unless he was sounded out way before he signed for us then i fail to see how he could have been really involved in the collis deal given that we must have been speaking to him for weeks and weeks. he may have rubber stamped it when he came in, after the deal was done if you like, but i cannot see how he was an agar signing.

You mean the Parkin that was buying the club and then gave back word at the last minute leaving is us in the proverbial until Glover came in, isn't he the man that only seemed interested only if we were guaranteed SL status, who also seemed to be more interested in Newmarket than anything else.
What you been told then Vastman, please tell because if the dude wanted in he had the chance to buy us for next to nothing in the first place long before Glover was on the scene.
