If you let Craig poskitt near your club your done for he nearly bankrupt us when he was commercial manager and then did same at fev.
Whilst I know we are rivals I wouldn't wish him on any club

Media and Commercial are covered at the club by two seperate individuals who both work extremely hard and have a good measure of success.

The only position open to Craig Poskitt would be Chief Executive but I think that's Chris Breretons role.

OK I'm craping myself now regarding bs comments what the hell is going on !!!!! Please tell us the truth no bull !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes he has to hold thing back to ensure that the dirty washing behind the scenes isn't aired in public, so i'm not bagging him for that. But people who have worked there see the goings on and things are not always as they seem to the outside world. Some people take everything that comes from the club as gospel but that can be dangerous as it can mask some issues. Brian Smith has gone about his departure in very much the wrong way but at the bottom of it is his concern that there are some deeper problems at the club than people would like to admit. Smith though needs to come out with specifics or stop posting stuff on facebook about it as without doing that nothing will ever bring about the change he obviously feels is needed.

Interesting, I am exactly that age too so we must have shared the same painful experiences over the years. What part of the Merrie City were you dragged up in?

I could be way off the mark here but listening to Yorkshire radio today the wakey fan Richard said about tomorrow nights show should be interesting with what will go on tomorrow afternoon so whether it involves Wakey we will have to see.

But according to MC at the time both Agar and Webster both decided to quit, he was prepared to back them and was upset when James quit. Don't get me wrong like every other fan I was happy to see the back of them. Not that we have done much better.......

All very depressing once again, i thought with Smith in charge we could have been building a future but it appears it was built on sand again. It seems this club has a major attitude problem from top to bottom and it is all leading to it heading in one direction, down. MC has balanced the books yes which is an achievement in its own right (and should be thanked by all for that) but by god we need a change and some serious investment from somewhere. He nearly called it quits at the end of last season, maybe for the sake of his own health he should have. Mr Carter and his sidekick has served their purpose but you get the feeling it is now or never for the club. He said he took it on to try and recoup some of the money he'd put in, well it's time to cut those losses and get actively looking for a buyer. Without somebody with deep pockets i fear we are done for as a top flight club and i'm sure as an intelligent man he must know that.

All that said please not Poskitt and his fake Sheik mate. They are bad news.

I would like to comment on a few points

1. Regarding fault yes its hard to judge, but regarding responsibility the buck always has to stop with the top man.

2. I think the vet will arrive soon disguised as an RL official. The club and everything about it are an embarrassment to SL and many people are starting to say that. I can't see the RFL putting up with us for much longer.

3. I can give you 10 years so I even have less chance than you. However I was lucky enough to see some special years of this
club and I suppose that's something to be thankful for.

Ted Richardson part 2 !!!!?????

Well I'm a lot nearer 60 than 50 and if I'm honest I don't see me going to a Grand/Wembley final even if I follow in my mums side of the family who most lived to a big age mid 90s. I think this next Coach has to be bang on or I fear the club will slide out of SL and could tumble even further down. Alas I don't see a sugar daddy as he would have been with the club now I will do the Lotto on Tuesday but like Wakey the odds are against me

It's amazing how the avenger digs in when he thinks someones got a few years behind em he's attacked me with a similar venom now he's on to brian smith , I'm suprised at your remarks bren in my view I'd much rather believe the aussie version of things than that of carter and his partner who I think are two unpleasant men and I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw em.Back to you avenger , presume your not in my day for nobody wbut ould have insulted me pick on an old guy if you get pleasure out of it 20 yrs ago you'd have been stretched out , no I haven't been drinking nor am I dreaming

OK gents chill ,would MC make a comment please asap

Can I have that last bit again, in English please!

It's got nothing to do with age fella and everything to do with spouting absolute rubbish (in your case) and bile (in Brian Smiths).

please give it rest with the ridiculous in my day you'd be "stretchered out" and "you'd be spitting blood" boasts, you sound like Uncle Albert from Only fools and horses.

Quote ="Wakefield No 1"Full control.. m.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/spo ... -1-7794243'" interesting particularly this bit. Quote “He wanted to take over the club, but could not come up with any feasible, written business plan,” Carter said. “It was all ‘let me take over the club’. When we asked for some business plans and a written formal offer, there was never one forthcoming. If you are making an offer to buy a business you’d expect to see that in writing. He did want to take over the whole place. That was featured in a number of arguments around January time. He did want to take over the entire club, but never came up with anything formal in writing. A lot of arguments centred around that.” Carter said Jon Flatman, who left his position as Wakefield chief executive earlier this year, had been working alongside Smith on the ex-coach’s proposal. Smith has been critical of the way Wildcats are run in a series of posts on social media since his sudden departure." '" Who the hell is Jon Flatman?

Easy enough to understand ,and take it as you read it cos I mean exactly what it said

He's a much travelled Rugby administrator who's spent time at London Scholars and Hull FC to name but two.

Smith and flatman spend time working on a proposal but submit no plans. And then Smith leaves the club because he wasn't given what he wanted.if MC said give me a plan then why wouldn't Smith do that and then leave citing that. And why would he waste his time with flagman if it wasn't a genuine plan to take over.

Someone's lying!

So was/is brian smith part of a group trying to take over trinity? Or was it just him and flat man?

So BS had to be convinced to coach us after the MPG but then wanted to buy us?

MC has said many times on Twitter that he would sell for a pound but no one is interested, well BS was but it didn't happen because he didn't have a business plan.

You can't make this up!

Or, BS wanted to buy Trinity (unlikely) got brushed off, get a sulk on then walked?

He could only raise 99p I was told lol

I dismissed this posters suggestion from last Tuesday, but after reading that, there appears to be a lot of truth, & for that I apologise.


It’s all getting a little squalid listening to plans going on regarding the future ownership of the club, whilst the ones who actually give a toss are served up sub-standard performances for our delectation.

I’m sick of hearing the same old line “Yeah but, without Carter we’d have been doomed, he even put his house up as collateral”. Maybe he did, but it wasn’t to save the club, if it had gone bust (again) he would have lost a lot of cash. He knew how the club worked & how he could cut costs, which he did, then lo & behold the Sky monies increased.

The players may be on comparable wages to other clubs, but if Wakefield’s answer to Gideon is still in austerity mode, maybe their conditions of work don’t inspire giving that extra effort.

Sell if for a quid

.

Why did MC ask BS if he had a business plan? If BS had wanted control has said, surely he was going to put up some cash? not so long ago I thought MC was looking to offload Wakey.Has this all now changed as things seem to be moving on the Stadium and also the adjoining land that is up for sale? This saga just gets stranger and stranger. Will there be a full and frank statement put out by the people involved to clear the air, Wakefield Trinity fans deserve a full explanation .
