That is exactly the problem.
Just because you don't like someone personally doesn't warrant a campaign to smear everything he does.
If you don't like him, don't be friends with him. Simples.

A lot of the people having a sustained campaign to talk down everything he does just come across like a 13 year old boy turned down by the pretty girl at school and trying to get her back.

Yes, I agree, and well summed up

And as poo tart says now look forward .I am also a leeds fan and certainly enjoying the matches this year even in lower league. So with all sports you have to go backwards to go forwards on occasions. Thing is. To support your team / owners all the time whatever the situation

Freudian Slip?

Nice. I've had many insults on here but that one is new.

Pop Tart we understand how you are feeling its hard for you, in the words of Stephen Flemming you are emerging from the cellar, pleased that the beatings have stopped, scared what the future holds.

You no longer have to follow the party line and forced to act as the regimes mouthpiece, it will take time but trust me you are now able to post your own opinions. We are here to support you as you venture out into the light.

I think the rumours of my demise may be premature.
I'm sure there'll be plenty of myth/lie busting for me to do in the coming months.

Sorry about that pop tart my thick fingers. Think you should be made patron Saint of trinity. You must have the patience of one to try and remain neutral between some on here even if they can't see it.

Lock this Takeover updates and start a different one .Some thing like ( Takeover updates ,and new owners) no point in going down the same road of insulting each other over what we happened in the last 4 year .A new chapter as opened for Wakefield let us older fans enjoy while we can

There you go again, diminishing the opinion of others and naming them “the problem”
In some cases it’s not necessarily “just because you don’t like him” though, maybe Carter has materially cost them.
In a case such as that it would stick in you craw to hear everyone heaping praise on him, wouldn’t it?

My analogy is
If you got robbed by someone and knew it was them, I’m sure you’d be quite vocal if all you heard from others was how honest the robber was!

So maybe people should stop shoving how virtuous the old owner was down everyone’s throats then vilifying those who won’t have it!

Right, time to move on!

Errm no.
Lots of ifs there.

But if someone had robbed me, I would accuse them of robbing me, and be able to back it up, rather than create stories about other things he's done to turn people's opinion.
THAT is the problem.

And I think you have it the other way round. The only time anyone says "he saved our club" is after someone has had yet another dig at him.

And I'm certain Minards hasn't done anything that could be in the category of your analogy but it doesn't stop people making stuff up just because he sat next to Carter.

Expect this will be a popular one for the Member Shareholders.

"Good afternoon all, please note the next Shareholders meeting is Wednesday 04th October at 7pm in the Rollin Shack.

John would like to introduce Matt Ellis to the members & a discussion with him will follow."

I’m very interested to see how things progress once this takeover is hopefully sorted.

The coaching team and recruitment/salary manager and set up will obviously be the first to be sorted.

There is actually some reasonable pick ups looking at the out of contract superleague list who could do a good job for us in the championship so I’m looking forward to seeing who we recruit.

Would like to retain a couple of those out of contract from this year. Hopefully some news back end of this week.

move on the failures don't need to be talked about anymore.

But the successes do

There is a Shareholder meeting next Wednesday where John will be introducing Matthew Ellis.
Will be good to hear what he has to say.

I was talking about them two failures who's names should never be mentioned again. CEO AND CHAIRMAN = FAILURES, now let it go pop tart the dream is over. Rejoice and embrace our new owner.

The King is dead, long live the King!

What a sad, inaccurate comment.
But, looking on the bright side you have new targets now to get the knife into-bet you can’t wait!

Think it is more the person who said it is sad, take over well on way, the past as gone ,new future and he is still at it

exactly what I said, move on from tje two failures and embrace the takeover, if pop tart still wants a love In there's not a lot anyone can do

But you keep running in like a silly schoolboy trying to get your last insult in and then asking us to leave it alone.

You are not doing yourself any favours.

Yep you’re right

But the jesters are still in the court!!!
