Correct, just need to keep an eye on the new lot whoever they may be.

| Quote ="vastman"Whilst I can only dream that I could have the loyalty of someone such as you I can but try
- you're such a wally you really are.
Let me assure you that though I could never attain your level of understanding or comprehension of everything my loyalty to the club is 100% whilst my loyalty to Ted a man I have never met outside of SWAG business is secondary
Has it ever crossed your mind that the reason I ended up in a position to know Ted and co was so I could find out what was happening, be involved and have the first hand detail to make my own mind up. This was preferable to having to listen to self proclaimed experts such as yourself who frankly seem to think they know it all despite an utter inability to view it from any other angle than that which suits the their own bitter agenda. All you really want to do is kick a man when he's down, you can flower it up any way you like but that's what you really enjoy. a good old fashioned scapegoat.
I'm not loyal to Ted anymore than I am unloyal to AG - I'll leave such childish and lame preoccupations to you. Fact is I know the full(ish) story and history regarding Ted era first hand. Thus due to my modest involvement I am in a position to make a first hand assessment. It's not the final say on the issue, I wasn't that in the know but it's based on some first hand knowledge. And thats really kills you, myself and a group of people who won't be cow towed into accepting your baseless finger pointing version of events.
TR made some big mistakes and made a gamble that didn't pay off, but ultimately he was guilty of nothing more than eventually killing off a club that had been on it's last legs for 30+ years. Wow, like that's the first time that's happened in sport of business in general. A club ironically he'd done more to keep alive than most, especially after Pearman when there was no AG in the wings to save the day and when by rights the club should have ceased to exist. If you were anything like the loyal fan you claim to be you know all that wouldn't you.
What you are is a bandwagon jumper - who I guarantee will be the first to jump ship when/if things go wrong for AG - I can see it now. To be honest you make me feel a touch nauseous if I'm honest (and you like honesty)
Ted is long gone, and unless you are in a position to take out a private prosecution using the mountains of of evidence you almost certainly don't possess it's best left that way Andrew Glover is now in charge and warrants exactly the same scrutiny than anyone else would in that position - Wakefield Trinity is not one man is it - only a fool would think otherwise.
Now feel free to splutter out some more bile in response, you seem to have plenty.'"
The usual level of bluff and bluster from the self appointed self righteous vastman. A comprehensive assessment of nothing.
I was trying to help you out, but, you keep posting the negatives and you show yourself as the twisted fool you are.
Try and come to some sense, see that things have improved and show some level of support for someone who is trying to make a decent show out of "our" club.
In case you haven't noticed the band waggon you jumped on has gone and left you looking foolish.
AG is at this time the future of our club, lets back him 100% show him what this club is about, you dont have to over excite yourself too much, but at least back him when he's/they are working hard to clean up the mess and put us on a even footing.

Is refusing to be towed by cows an even more emphatic refusal than suggesting that wild horses couldn't drag you?

You leave me out of it aswell - I'm not interested in being the meat in a vastman/kinleycat sandwich.
I only do issues-based arguments, not personal vendettas; as Edwin Starr once said - "War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin." Feel free to say it again y'all. Huh.

| Anyway, back on topic. In my opinion Peter Roe was dealt a crap hand by the club, he was left scratching around for players for some games, having to play youngsters who were far from ready, yet the minute he was gone and Shane McNally was in charge we appeared to bring players in, something denied to Peter.
In an interview (Radio Leeds, I think) after he left , in answer to a question about how things were at the club his comment was 'You can't sack the unsackable', I think we all know who he was talking about and let's face it at that time he was right.
I don't know Peter Roe and don't agree with some of his opinions on the game but I believe he is a decent bloke who loves the game of Rugby League who served his apprenticeship in the NFP/Championship and got his big chance to coach in Super League at Wakefield, only to discover that he'd been dealt a bum hand.
Just my opinion.

Nah, Peter Roe was sacked because he wasn't good enough for SL - end of. McNally didn't get extra cash because he was McNally, he got it because we left the CVA in 2004 allowing us to re-finance the club. Whether he could have done better with the money is pure speculation, but I'll speculate he couldn't.
Peter Roe was typical of British Coaches of that ere, stuck in his ways. Great in a part time environment but bereft of the ideas and imagination required at the higher level.
I don't blame him for failing but it does annoy that he wasn't man enough to admit he was out of his depth.
Put it this way, has Roe achieved anything since - no because deep down he knows and so does everyone else.
If the club let any coaches down then it wasn't Roe, Harbin and McNally have a small claim but Andy Kelly is the real victim. I'm not just saying this for Clans benefit, it's because I believe it. I'm not convinced AK was ever going to take us all the way but he deserved far more time than he got.
Just my opinion also.

Agree with you 100% Lindsay. Peter Roe is a man of integrity which is maybe why he didn't fit the bill at Trinity back then. He's also a very knowledgeable RL coach who, in my opinion, would have succeeded at Belle Vue given the same resources as McNally.

The question then is, before or after his time at Belle Vue, why has no other Super League club employed him? McNally scrabbled around and ended up with Phil Hassan and nearly the South African bloke who was playing union no-one had heard of.

Maybe because the popular perception is that nothing's any good unless it's SL. Although, credit to John Kear for recognising quality and potential when he sees it.
