A bit disingenuous there Avenger.
Do you think that Trinity have been a net gain for MC or, do you think that the club has cost him money ?
Also, I've personally been to enough events and other stuff at BV to see the guy doing stuff that very few club chairmen would do.
Yes, he was shoveling snow, working behind the bar, attending fans forums and all of that while digging into his own pocket.
There weren't too many takers for buying the club for a quid when he offered it ??
Regardless of whether his motives were to try and recoup his investment, but for him, the club would have been gone so, hoe DOES deserve some gratitude.
Although many fans think that he shows too much loyalty to the coach, maybe that's not such a bad thing and maybe the fans are just a bit too quick (including myself) when losing patience with the coach.
Leeds are looking good with two of our former coaches in charge.
Having said that, you do wonder just how many games we have to lose, before MC and Minards feel that we need a change.
For me, just like John Kear, MC has enough "credit" with Trinity to be beyond reproach
I can remember buying a couple of pints, which he served and joking that I couldn't imagine Roman Abramovich serving behind the bar at his club, can you.

He did it for a photo shoot and nothing more, you can be as blindly loyal as you like but it doesn’t change that.
Bitter about what?
What have I blamed him for???

That's not true
He was there shoveling snow in the morning, along with around 50ish fans and thanked those who had given up their time to get the game on

I’m not talking about that which was a genuine attempt to get the game on. I’m talking about his famous picture stood on his own immediately in front of the hospitality block pretending to shovel snow off the line which was nothing but pure opportunism meant for the fans.

Lesser men would have walked away some time ago, with the amount of abuse and hostility directed at them, by a minority of so called supporters. Why anyone can direct so much bile towards the people keeping this club afloat at a time of great uncertainty, is quite beyond me. Please, will all you “faint hearts”, claim your season ticket refund from the club, and walk away, the rest of us will do whatever we can to help the club survive along with those in charge.,Remember, those who are not with us, are against us.

What “bile” are you accusing me of here?
I know there are quite a few on here who hang on to his every word and won’t hear anything they perceive as negative about him but again, can you point out the “bile” in any of my posts?

You are telling everyone you know why he did something when
1) you can't possibly know
2) he still cleaned the lines which kept the game on longer
3) the publicity we got as a club for him doing that was massive
So why is it a problem to you?

Load of bunkum ,it’s a forum and forums are for debate as long it’s in good taste . Unless you know something I don’t you are still allowed to voice you opinion whether that is positive or negative in this country and on forums .We all want the same thing from this club and that is a competitive team ,unfortunately at this present time we are far from that prospect .So to expect fans to blindly follow a club that they invest their hard earned cash in only to watch it slowly go down the rattle and keep quiet is frankly ridiculous.

| The thing Is, everyone else in the lower reaches of the league looks to have improved.
They have moves and a structure.
What happened to the move when Grix made the extra man round the back and we scored a lot of tries off It?

Constructive debate is good. What we get a lot of on here is not constructive. Some of the threads on here have simply become platforms to almost vilify anyone connected with running the club.i Social media has become obnoxious and unregulated, I never poison the dam thing, it concerns me that forums such as this could end up the same way. I’ve no problem with people having different views to others, my objection is the way some views are projected.

People like avenger are parochial and think you can’t learn the game unless your born to it. After nearly a decade in the game at a very high level I think MC knows the game and that Trinity are very much a part of his life.
I think it was a very disingenuous thing to post by a poster who should know better.
It’s also a myth, JK is Cas through and through but imho is the best coach we have had since Ken Trail. The list of Trinity old boys who failed miserably is a long one, with only Toppo and Kelly having any real success,
Ditto the people running the club.
Most notable of all the players, name the last Wakefield born player who signed for the club and became a genuine legend. Its not Ellis or TJ, as yet it’s not your lad though maybe one day.
Nope it’s mainly men from the other side of the world who’ve kept Trinity alive. Frankly the last people I want in charge at Trinity are people from the not so Merrie city, they seem to be poison.

Whatever his motives were, he DID save the club, absolutely no doubt about it.
If he has made mistakes, which I 'm sure that he has, I guess that he's paid for the privilege.
If you or I were in charge, we could do the same. Mind you, it wont be me. No money and nowhere near enough nous to run a RL club.

| Those who defend our current coaching set up when do you think we have a problem or does it not matter and we just struggle on with Chester until we are relegated and he leaves anyway. I will admit I struggle to find anything positive carrying on with Chester but I will let the like of PT etc. to convince me otherwise.
