I still think that if Mc did make the quote reported he must in future stay well away from the press. Why would he make such a quote and give the Bradford paper an exclusive.
To say if relegated the squad would go part time is the totally wrong message to send out, when other clubs in the championship have built and invested in squads for next year and are about to go full time.
How can the statement be defended by any Wakey fan .
How do you think the full time players at the club are likely to take to it. how do you think any junior player will greet the news, whats the present squad attitude likely to be.
I hope this matter can be cleared up quickly .

Simple answer. If the players want to stay full time professionals at wakefield then win the next game.

The statement actually says the club would be forced to CONSIDER going part-time if relegated. For goodness sake stop making mountains out of molehills !!!!!!!! and concentrate on Saturday, God knows what folk will moan about if we actually win.

Its not a moan its quite simply a response to a bloody ill timed statement. Your right cocker the club should concentrate on the game any statements can then be made after the game.
I would have thought if anything had to be said the club would have been better offering a positive response that the players, coaching staff, and supporters could have taken some heart of. Saying the club would be forced to consider does not cut it. The club would have been better keeping stum.

He didn't just make that quote. He did a full articles worth discussing it.

In which he still didn't say we would go part time - just that it would be one option that would have to be considered.

Classic case of a selective headline used to make a statement of the bleeding obvious sound interesting; got to love local paper hacks!

I think we will win tomorrow, but if we do not I fear for the future of the club. I honestly think that if we do go down that is it & we will never, short of massive investment, get back into SL. Looking at the clubs in the Championship - this seasons top four plus Fev - I cannot even see us getting into next years middle eight. Tomorrow is a pivotal moment in the history of this club.

Whilst not greeing with all SP posts, I do think that there is an element of truth caused by MC's lack of engagement with the fans.

Like it or not, the fans are customers of the club & without them we would not survive. There as to be some better way to engage & bring fans back. To be honest for the last couple of years I do not feel like it is our club. Say what you like about Ted & Mr Glover, at least I felt at the time that it was our club & I was part of it. This may only be a perception, but a perception can be as bad as reality.

It's okay Snowie et al having a go at SP, but that is how he feels & he is entitled to that view. I bet he is not the only WTW fan who feels that way.

Hull paper quoted us as having signed Rankin, even ringing Michael Carter to say we had. Guess what, we hadn't!

Papers tell lies,I know,I've witnessed it first hand.If they said night followed day ,I wouldn't believe them.

I'll bet he is. OK Wilzay and Klav come close but they do show occasional glimpses of sunshine.

My guess is that he's reincarnated NGB4C, who similarly drifted into an ever tighter spiral of pathetic angst.

But with better grammar.

One reason I aint bought a paper for years you cant even know if its the correct date on the bloody thing they make that many things up and change things to meet their own agenda. What happens happens its out of our hands well almost we can still play a part by supporting and being loud and proud

it will taste better than them lemons you keep sucking on

Your loyalty is admirable if a little misplaced but all clubs needs supporters like you. I expect you will go whatever division we are in sadly you are a minority and human nature demands success hence our sharp drop in attendances.
I note that he does suggest that if the club are relegated then it depends how many season tickets we sell which will decide if we drop to part time. He is once again passing the blame onto the supporters because how can you buy a season ticket if you don't know which players you will be supporting. It's a classic catch 22 situation.
I hope your faith is justified and he took the action he did for the right reasons and not just to save money. I suppose tomorrow will tell and yes it is sensible to have a plan B but not to make it public but I think that's more an ego trait.

MC did try to engage with fans on here and twitter . he also tried to engage with some on sunday, unfortunately they were ignorant half wits who just wanted to shout abuse and not listen to what he had to say. I have always found the guy quite approachable and a really nice guy to chat to. he is always round the club and I am sure if SP wanted all his questions answering he would be more than happy to do that but I have a feeling that he won't even try, he has his own agenda?

It's funny that because I found him completely ignorant and unapproachable. But that was when I wanted to discuss an issues that he didn't like. From my point of view the man is the complete opposite of your description.
He seems to only engage with people when they are blowing smoke up his rear end. But that is my point of view. I don't think the guy is purposely running the club into the extinction. I think he's too stubborn to admit he isn't always right and to ask (spend money) for help and the overall good of Wakefield Trinity.

you see this is your opinion,
maybe you don't like his stance against yours as he wasn't willing to move which is understandable if he wants it to run a certain way, you find most business men unapproachable if your telling them they should change the business plan,

going away from MC what do we all want from the club, financially we have been inept for yrs, we finally get someone who wants to get this right and then their pulled to bits while he's still doing it, if this was your club and your money would you continue to plough money in while we continue to get a negative attitude from the stay away fans, its bad enough from the ones in the stand

I wouldn't mind the players on the pitch has caused most of the arguments on here

Who are the stay away fans with the negative attitude?

The point of my post is we all have opinions on what we do and don't like. Yet on this forum you are instantly shot down for asking questions of the club by people who will follow blindly. SP asks some very good questions and its nice to have a balance of opinions.
Do Wakefield fans not learn, we have been so badly run all this time and just because someone comes in and says the right things at the time we all believe their every word. Well most of you that disagree with SP were all Glovers best mate when he was at the club, even when certain posters were telling you its all gone belly up people argued with them, look where that got us!

I aren't suggesting in anyway Glover and Carter are the same before someone gets the wrong end of the stick.

Hounding people off the forum will only make this a duller place than it already is!

said it for ages the club needs a front man. Someone who can issue press releases , engage with the press , media and fans. provide a link with business, offer informed advice, take control of sponsorship and public relations.
Sometimes its not what you do that causes problems its the way you do them.

Ironically Elston was exactly that and I thought quite good at it.
It went wrong when they gave him financial power too.

I work with one every day, sick of hearing his opinions while he continues to rip the club to bits and not even contribute anything to the club, but he is quite willing to go to the pub and watch the game from there, how the hell do you expect club to get any revenue in while you get support like that,

SP has had a few good questions but is hell bent on harping on about MC taking the club away from BV, funny how we are in a better position now the threat had been made, if we had continued to just ignore the problem it in its self would of fetch the club to its knees, as for player selection its done within a budget so as he has said the club gets what it can afford, then what we get two of the best players going off the rails you just can't make this up

yes I would support my club at what ever division it is in but it doesn't make me any less determined to see success there, so if everybody took the stance of only supporting a successful club yr in yr out then it would get pretty boring, today I'm going to feeling that nervous tension that should get you back next season either way.
as for season tickets for next yr how can you predict what happens until you know what league we will be playing

Lets reverse the question you asked. How the hell are we going to make any revenue when the club do nothing to retain the fans? You seem to have come to the conclusion MC has. Essentially your blaming your work colleague and the 2000 others who have had enough of watching dross @ £22 a time for the state of the club! How many times this year has there been any attempt to engage with lost supporters? How many times has it been acknowledged the performance on the pitch is not acceptable but the fans who turn up have had no apologies and no response a week later from the players?

I competley admire your devotion to the club. But you can't expect everyone to feel the same as you! It's not the fans fault and it never has been!
