| I have it on good authority that AG spent most of Friday with a sweeping brush in one hand and a feather duster in the other, mucking in to get the place ready for the game.

| Quote ="Rhino Roy"Mr Glover has come in and clearly made improvements in and around the club as well as the facilities as previous posters above have highlighted. The little things like toilet paper in the toilets, light bulbs replaced, painting done etc etc. I also remember them stating that they can go to maximum salary cap if they chose to.
After that statement I would have expected some decent signings and admittedly it would be difficult at this stage of the season, but there has been no such signings of any calibre apart from young inexperienced kids really, so is that all Wakey can expect ??
Its no secret that unless a small miracle happens wakefields fate is already decided, and it appears to me like that has been accepted and therefore the club are clearly not going to be bringing in any high profile players and spend up to the cap, or to be honest come anywhere near the cap. Mr Glover wont be bringing anyone in and will carry on with what you have until the decision is confirmed at the end of this month (although I think he knows already) and then he can justify why he wont be spending on players this season.
I am sure as a club and a business they will want to keep hold of the cash, as well as the parachute payments the club will receive next season, and then probably be able to put together a very competitive squad for the championship campaign in 2012.'"
Just because Andrew Glover has said the club can spend up to the cap doesn't automatically mean top class players will arrive. One they have to be available and two they have to want to come. With the club the current favourites to lose their license no player of any class will sign. To think otherwise is incredibly naive.

Can anyone clarify/shed any light on the 'paperwork' aspect regarding new signings. AG or JE alluded to this at the recent fans meeting, but I still don't understand it. If it is the RFL we are waiting for, then what was the 'fit and proper' person farce all about when we were in administration. If it is something to do with overseas signings, then if there are UK signings to be made then use some leverage now to get them. As well as the team has played so far, I feel that we can't go on much longer with the same personnel, the kids can't just keep on taking the knocks and JK seems to be trying to rotate them as much as is possible.

| I thought it was to with getting a licence to bring in foreign workers.

Domestic players obviously wouldn't be an issue, but that would be down to availability of players of the requisite standard.

That's only for overseas players. Can't see any British players of suitable quality being available to sign right now, especially for the positions we need. Think the only realistic target we could end up with would be Tansey. Ability wise he's better than what we've got but his attitude could be a major problem especially with us being such a young team.

It was because Jinjer and his team were trebling up with the pints.

| Its a shame that the previous owners of the club have taken the club to the position they did, and Im sure that if they had been ousted a few years back things would be different. all they did was s around in hospitality, paying the whole family inflated salaries, and benefits and ran the club into the ground. The Richardsons should hang their heads in shame, they have all but killed the club

| one thing thats puzzling me about the franchises (apart from it should be P/R) is that why not announce the club who will be demoted at the END of the season, and not three quarters of the way through it?

Hope your right.......the RFL are a disgrace, but knowing their past form, they will definately promote widnes this time and then you can bet it will be halifax's turn the next time around......providing they tick the boxes in that period.

| Everyone bangs on about rfl being bent etc etc. However after listening to JE at the fans forum it sounds like they have been more than helpful to 'us' over the past few months whilst under the old regime. Think rfl will be glad to see the back of ted et al but I think it will be too (not so much) little (as ag is making great strides in a short time) too late for us. However having believed a franchise decline would be the end of us previously I now believe it would just be the beginning of a new chapter in the history of wtwrlfc

| Quote ="snowie"yes the floodlights was brought up to to the standard that their should of been, does it not show how the old regime just ran the club down'"
For heavens sake is it not possible to attach any fairness or logic to anything involving the old and new regimes?
Mr Glover is not running a club with a huge debt owed to the inland revenue. A bill built up due to the faulty belief amongst all SL that they would get away with image right payments.
Mr Glover did not build the flats and the pull off the deal of the century to keep them after the CVA. Nor did he build the half decent toilet facilities we now have, or the crash barriers around the ground, or the bottle bar, the Wildcat shop, the new turnstiles and the list goes on. He also didn't pay the last time the floodlights were upgraded in 2006.
I'm not defending Richardson or attacking Glover but some perspective please. The fact is Glover has a clean slate and as yet has not had to spend any serious money at all. Lets see how enthusiastic he still is in 3-4 years time when the bills are stacking up again - and they will.
I'm not having a go at you in particular but this new messiah stuff with Glover is getting very tiresome. He's done nothing wrong, trouble is he's actually done nothing major yet. Many RL clubs especially us have been taken down the garden path before.
Untill we get definite clarification regarding our long term future especially Newmarket I'd hold fire. You only have to look at clubs like Rochdale and Oldham and many more to see how badly things can go from very promising starts.

I was under the impression our historic tax bills were nothing to do with image rights, that matter has yet to be resolved.
Also, when comparing the past and previous owners. To my knowledge Mr Glover did not manage to sell the ground for GBP 2.8m only for the club to see approximately half that figure with no explanation as to where the rest went.

| Ted gave an explanation of where the 1.1million that didn't go to the club went. It was ringfenced as the clubs contribution to Newmarket.
The very same Newmarket that we have since been told that we don't have to contribute to.
So where is it now? Probably Cyprus.

There is a lot of truth in this post again from Vastman. We're a month in to a new regime, let the dust settle. It's as bad as those on here making players into legends after a couple of decent games.
