Presumably we are skint again and needed some money quickly, otherwise why would you sell your best player to a competitor in the lower reaches of the table.


This is Wakefield: Together we are skint.

It looks like we are back to where we were a few years back.
Elston hid behind Richardsons failing (probably with some justification).
He has been the main man this time around and AG has put his faith in him.
For us to be back where we were per spirit of 1873 so quickly only shows how badly both have performed.
For me (if this sale and its reasons are confirmed) Elston has to resign if he has any shred of dignity, he's had a go but he is nowhere near capable of the doing the job.
I would also urge the directors to get a grip of this situation and act quickly.
Sadly for them to get us out of this alleged hole is going to cost more of their money, but that's the cost of their failings.
Failure to act quickly and decisively will in my opinion lead to a downturn in recent support and potentially further losses.
Time for our directors to grasp the nettle!!!
Steve Ferres doing owt?

People like you are the reason I detest Cas' fortunately there are decent Cas supporters and I respect them, sadly the club is tainted by gits like you!

The sad thing sbout his comment is that it's true.
I think the importance of supporting the club now is more important than ever though.
It's clear where the blame lies; the door of the CEO.
If anger is to be directed, I feel it is important that it is directed in the right way.
Turning our backs on the club now will only make the job of those charged with re-balancing the club that much more difficult if not impossible.
A clear statement from the club to the supporters is imperative.

To be doing likewise to another team gives me no satisfaction is the only solace, as I know exactly how I felt last season when stories like this started to appear . All I can say is stick with your club .

If its true that Tim Smith has gone then others will probably follow...

All creative attacking play has come from him this season and I can't see a surprise high profile signing replacing him whatever big money has been offered to buy out his contract if the rumour is true. It's strange that there is nothing on Salford or other forums?
Looks like Goulding will be getting the 6 shirt next season with Wildie at seven unless Agar is looking at a French import Theo Fages in exchange from Salford?


Sad day for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.....

Totally unfair to pile all the blame on Jimmy if the bloke who employed him had delivered on all his promises we would not be in this mess.

As much as I enjoy TT why the hell buy him and struggle even more then get rid of TIM SMITH?

Depends how you look at it.
IF AG put his faith in the CEO to deliver then he had been let down as much if not more than the supporters.
As far as I am concerned the book stops at his door, without question others have failed too but JE is the rugby man AG entrusted to use his money wisely.
Clearly that has not been realised.

And Fozzard?????

If/when I see official confirmation from the club then I will be pretty p*d off but until that point it's another one of those that goes down as an unsubstantiated rumour as far as I'm concerned

We have to trust Mr Carter now, and i do, but he cannot do it on is own, if he is honest then i think the fans will back him, what else have we got, am low dont mind telling you

This.

Totally peed off if this turns out to be true but not surprised as its par for the course in supporting wakey.

Also can't believe the half truths that have come out from the club about the whole situation.

Is Tuson gonna bother coming? If I were him I'd be asking Wigan if that / year deal was still available

Heads need to roll for such bad mismanagement

Never trusted Glover since his biggest night in the clubs history stunt he pulled at Cedar Court.
I am not saying Jimmy is not at fault but I don't like to see him take the blame for everything if others
are equally as culpable.

Stick with your Club.

Throwing the teddies wont make things better. I feel your pain as it's been done to my Club on plenty of occasions when we were on our bootstraps. Hopefully, you will have a decent fee that doesn't get swallowed-up in a financial hole. Players come and go, but your support is for your Club.

I'll apologise in advance for any gloating Salford idiots that may appear, but I'll be surprised if you find any. Old wounds take a while to heal.

Chin-up Wakey.

JE spends the money

I know what you're saying mate but define equally?
He's the ....ing CEO for gods sake!!!
I'm not a fan of the twitter stuff and the building up of events that has gone on.
I would further add that a lot of half truths and misinformation has come from the club possibly to cover up the current situation. This will make the clubs job of getting the support onside doubly difficult.
But there are two facts as far as I can see it.
1) whoever is on watch now, be that Michael Carter or whoever need our support to get things back on track, not our apathy.
2) turn our backs and the club may just disappear down the hole we all desperately fought against three years ago.
Together we are stronger- maybe that is only the case in a crisis???

If the club do not get stable from october onwards, it will be our last season i fear

Well I for one hope your optimism is substantiated. I will, despite my initial rants probably stand with the club, as have done may years through thick and thin, all I ask for in return is honesty from the club. I cannot stand any more of this 'Yes we're winning the battle' stuff and the next minute serious rumours about a player, no, THE player, being sold. Perhaps it's more crap, if so, then the originator should think about the consequences before posting again and I hope that's the case!

If selling Tim smith has saved is from admin and entry into championship so be it. We live to fight another day, wildie, Goulding, Kay , your time is here and now!!

It's certainly a way to look at it, I'm more concerned as to why we are in this hole again though.

Good post, i fear that there may be only 2 or 3 thou that understand the club, the rest want bother if we end up proper in the brown stuff

Went in and bought 2 Gold season tickets today, cash. What a numpty!

Wish I had done the monthly, then I could cancel and waste no further money!

Hey, Salford have known as much misery as we have over the years and I am pleased for the genuine Salford fans that they now have hope AND they are seeing the fruits of a true investor. I am forever grateful for what Andrew Glover has done for WT but it is now apparent , that clearly, he hasn't got the financial clout to truly invest in the club, to the required amount.
Good luck to you guys. As soon as my club is run with the ethos that bills are paid on time and we don't spend more than we earn then I for one will continue to support them even it we do drop -and I think we will.
