Quote ="FIL"Some big announcements coming by the sound of it https://www.totalrl.com/impending-annou ... elegation/'" Well Carter has come out publicly and admitted he has made numerous mistakes. Mash is also holding his hand up and shouldering the blame. It doesn't repair the damage done, but fair play to them both for saying that and accepting their actions.

Maybe if they had admitted they were not up to the job earlier we would still be in SL

I.hope to god they have not signed any of these players coming in before the takeover and Powell coming in.

Easy to say in hindsight after the event.

Fact is at the present they don’t have the benefit of that and with the upturn in form and a few good wins I’m sure the coach and club had reason to believe they could achieve survival up to a few weeks before the end.

Perhaps if we hadn’t won those few games and seen an upturn changes would have happened.

They no doubt tried their best but failed (and we were in it till the 2nd to last game).

As I say though it’s east to criticise in hindsight.

Anyone could see it wasn’t working 10 games in. No point in Mark holding his hand up now.

It wasn’t but when we won 4 games in a relatively short period it did start working and we looked on course that form to survive, at that point it looked like MASH and the club had fixed the issues. For whatever reason that ended up being temporary and wasn’t sustained though in reality we were very close to getting out of jail but for a few close losses and golden points.

I can’t imagine the Darryl Powell appointment happened over night, Matt Ellis has been working at the club as an associate director (I’m sure someone will point out if I’m wrong) for a couple of months, you’d think MS will have run future signings in front of DP? Won’t he?

Ellis not Shaw

He was on the advisory board rather than associate director. But your point is well made.

He joined back in June too, found this:

Bugger, of course it is

For those that don't read it, there is a big piece in the RL Express about it

Going to be a very interesting shareholder meeting Wednesday
Looking forward to it..

Very interesting read but I couldn’t help but think of a similar interview with the great John Pearman, but this does feel very different and exciting. If this level of investment does come off, I really can’t see how IMG criteria could keep us out. The game is too weak to exclude any owner pumping these kind of funds into the game.

Very positive piece that. Looks like a root and branch is/ has taken place of all systems and processes. Relegation although not what anyone wanted is now an opportunity especially to sort out the playing front. With having what appears to be a new owner prepared to the business with investment the only way is up.

Great to hear some positive stuff for once. Really looking forward to seeing what players we are recruiting to complete the squad.

Well is says 13 are signed up presently though only 8 are announced. I would imagine they will be announced along with the season ticket going on sale.

A lot more meat on the bones from Ellis in comparison to Glover's all the clubs money worries are over hype.
Pearman's plans just seemed like a con right from the start.

He is certainly saying all the right things thats for sure, lets hope all his plans come to fruition. Be a lot of fun if they do. No hiding place for Powell though, he’ll be under pressure to deliver from the get go.

If that does not get more season tickets for next season nothing will

This is the thing now. The fans absolutely need to buy in and come back to support trinity getting back into the superleague. Hopefully a refreshing year on and off the pitch will generate some positive momentum.

Pearman had no money of his own, he wasn’t any wealthier than many of the fans sitting in the stands. His plan was to bring in an investor called Cobex which never materialised and ultimately that lead to the Administration. I’m not sure Cobex ever existed except in the mind & plans of Pearman.

I always presumed Pearman's card was his inside knowledge of land deals during and after his stint as Wakefield Council Leader. Wasn't he a director of a Land & Property Management Company at the time. Ted seemed to get hold of some nice pieces of land back in the day too.
