| MC and his partner CB saved our club. He has invested (loaned, I believe but good luck with that one!) a considerable amount of money. So, my thanks for that!
He has probably let himself down by interacting with some fans on social media sites, often the sewers of modern society!
The bloke is obviously passionate about his involvement with the club and I am in no doubt he is as sick as us about the players performances.
He is the gaffer so the buck stops with him but some contributors go too far in their personal attacks on him - then again it's easy to do anonymously isn't it.

| Regarding the last few posts made above.
Some of you say the players we have are under performing. Well I disagree, most are performing to their normal level and trying their best. The simple fact is that they just are not good enough. Many of us knew what they were capable of and their limitations when we signed them. They are only performing to a level we that we expected.
Some also say we have signed a world class coach. Well you can't have it both ways. If he is world class then his record with his doesn't suggest that. Also if he is world class, why are the players not performing properly as some of you are suggesting ?
Could it be we have a very good coach, but even he isn't capable of getting this squad to compete ?
Or our players are better than they are showing and our coach is not as good as is reputation ?
Or do we have poor players and a mediocre coach and they are all trying their best which is just not good enough ?
Lets hope they can all do their very best on Saturday and win us the game.

I have said before that he is responsible for the on field performance because any coach can ask for a player but it will be the Chairman who decides what we can afford based on his calculations.
He has been here two seasons and in that time we have initially quite slowly seen the club regress but in the last season this has accelerated to the position we are in now.
Some say he stood up the the BOI the problem is he did not want to stay at Belle Vue he preferred Dewsbury which confirms to me he does not understand the connection between the ground and the supporters.
In conclusion if we are relegated he is responsible just like many would have said if Ted was still in charge.'"
What a t****r. you are. Without Carter their would be no club.

One of the points you fail to register is who else in this great city has come forward to put their neck on the line and put their money where their mouth is??? answer NOBODY absolutely NOBODY. Also if he didnt tell the BOI he was giving notice on the lease for Belle Vue there wouldnt be a club for you to moan about next year! Are you really stupid?

| It's fairly obvious that SP has an axe to grind with MC - and has been for some time; I'd guess he was connected to the Glover regime in some way, or has some other reason to be so relentlessly negative. I have little time either way for people who are so extreme in their viewpoint - positive or negative - that they can't see reason, and I'm afraid SP falls into the latter category.
It's not trolling per se, but it's equally pointless to respond.

| Yep well said, he's done a solid job and if we survive the weekend as a Super League Club then tomorrow is another day.
One slight amendment to what he said a couple of times, it's not all about winning, it's about competing and playing with a passion for the shirt and personal pride.

Agree with this. If only the players had competed in at least some of the ridiculous losses we have sustained MC would not have had to endure a lot of the criticism thrown at him.

I haven't been on this forum for very long compared to others. I fully understand the reasons that you think you have been shafted by Yorkcourt and agree with you. I have always been puzzled though as to why you blame Box and WMDC. I watched this clip and down the right hand side of the screen were other suggested clips. One was titled Wakefields new ground gets the green light. In it James Elston seems to thank WMDC for all their help in getting final PP through. So whats changed? Its a genuine question as it was before my time on here.

We wouldn't have a Stadium scheme if it weren't for WMDC. YC wouldn't have an industrial estate without us. Were we used as a Trojan Horse to get to part 2? The actions since OPP was granted have at least raised sever questions over the willingness and ability of WMDC in this process. They have a chance to put this right - will they do it? If they do, they can have my glass of Champers!

Because when it came to the point where they had to deliver, they failed/refused to do so. They allowed a sloppy 106 through and after that they refused to insist that the first massive build counted towards the stadium build.
Look at the difference in attitude from Box between your (Cas) stadium and the Newmarket one. And also Denise Jeffries who is 'not in the business of providing Rugby Stadiums' but took great glee in being in the Cas stadium champagne fest the other day.

| I believe some or our more rabid forum members believe I have a vendetta against our chairman. I do not but I do with what he has done to my club. He sells a squad reduces the salary, then mid season releases some more further reducing the salaries and now he suddenly takes the moral stance and releases two more but manages to retain one, a useless one and probably the cheapest just before our most important game.
We also adopt a policy of keep the supporters in the dark, they are like children and wouldn't understand the workings of a business. I regret that many do and that is why the attendances continue to fall. Is it the club's fault no it is us the supporters despite only winning three league games, one cup match and three play off games we should all be happy to keep putting our hands in our pockets. I know many of you will but sadly without SL I fear you will be in the minority.
If we lose on Saturday I will personally hold him responsible because what we have now is a direct result of the decisions he has taken.
I am not part of the previous regime just a supporter for over 40 years, I have seen previous chairman make mistakes but this one just carries on, does he not have anyone who he will listen to because the little voice in his head just keeps saying yes carry on.
I hope I can apologies and what we have keeps us in SL .

| Presumably Chris Brereton is the junior director with a lower investment in the club, but what is Chris's actual involvement in the day to day running of WT, and what does he inject in the way of club policy or is he completely sub-serviant to MC?

| I am not their spokesman, but I can confirm that Chris and Michael work full time for the club along with the handful of staff we still retain. They are both very integral to the workings of the club.

| Its interesting that the local papers of our opposition have run stories regarding our club before a game. we had the same thing going on when we played hull and h k r stating we had signed a hull player.
If M C did state the club would go part time it would have been a stupid thing to do. I very much doubt he gave a Bradford paper an exclusive, why would he.
A relegated club that could even consider a part time squad shows no ambition and would probably lose any full time players it had on its books to other S L clubs in the process.
Leigh have made some good signing already in preparation for next season and I think they would mount a much stronger challenge.
Bradford are probably looking at the opportunity on Sat and forming the opinion that they might not get a better chance to get in to S L for at least another couple of seasons,

You can doubt it all you want but it would appear he did say it. Doubt t&a would make it up and leave itself open to a libel claim.

| Any other chairman would say nothing sadly not ours. Sheffield look to go full time we look to regress to part time. I will leave it to the usual suspects to defend this one. I suppose it could be his way to demoralise the team further.
Over to you Chairman Chisset.

| Your request suggests that you have no reasonable reason why he should say that. I state I have no vendetta against the club after all I have probably been supporting them for over 40 years. I hope your beer is not as sour as your reply.
