Pal of mine was talking to Broughy last week and was asked about his recent move...his reply was that he regarded Kear as his second Dad, he was happy at Wakey and happy to stay the problems were Huddersfields contract offer blew him and wakey's offer out of the water. The length of Wakefields contract was also an issue as our great leader Mr Richardson was very worried about us getting in the next round of applications and the length of contract reflected that.In relation to his debts he claimed it was all nonsense about gambling and it was buisiness ventures that had gone wrong.

In relation to Tronc allegedly when we offered him a contract we offered him a house in the sticks for him and his family and a new car...when he got here he got here he got one of Teds flats and shall we say a not so new car...when his misses came over, coming from the sub tropics of North Queensland she was as you could imagine non plussed and wanted out !!! and allegedly when he mentioned this to the club and we were not too happy with him and he left very much under a cloud and not as we all imagined.

welcome to mid aprils news!

cue mass hysteria and fallouts, including rare moderator tiffs.

tronc want in teds towers he asked for an house with a garden for kids so we stuck him in middle of pottabella so cant really blame her for wantin to go home to be fair

I knew it was Nathan Wood's old banger again!

"Everything the Wakefield board do is for the good of the club."

cue trb!

oh and it wasnt in the bella, think you may find there were some movements internally so to speak!

So the board should have given Brough a 5 year contract and bought Tronc a nice house in horbury with a Merc...

I applaud Ted, the crowds are down and we must be running a very close budget.. better crowds last year and we still were in the red with the tax man at the end. Its obvious the RFL are itching to ditch at least one SL side when the franchises come along and they have never been our biggest fans.

Just my 2 penneth

actually you might need to look at what allegedly the two were promised, tronc especially.

Bella is where the council moved Paul Sykes. Another disinterested lump who could have done something for the City.

please point me to the thread containing a copy of Shane Tronc's contract and then I will make my own mind up.

this forum is far better than the soaps that we get on our telly,

I have to suffer days upon days of eastenders saying "whats going on" when I can just come on here,

I fair bet other fans look at our threds and p!ss them selves reading some of the antics that get on here, better entertainment by far

I'm here!

Just watching and reading. I don't know the specifics - so I won't comment on them, but I do have a general gist of things at BV and therefore I stand by the club once again.

Ooh what a bad man I am!

He was in a modern semi-detached house with a garden in Durkar initially.

And Brough was offered 3 years so that goes into the next franchise, so Ted can't have been THAT worried.

Whether promises have been kept or not - it's a nice life to be in a job where when you move halfway around the world and they sort everything out for you....

yes it is!!

its that car that every week is causing an obstruction

Correct..he was living in the next street to me, and he had a brand new sponsored Seat Ibiza to drive SWMBO and the kids around in....so he was hardly slumming it !!!

It would seem that Fred Gee has been the victim of the old 'Pork Pie'!



Mmmm - should we have a separate thread on these?

What...pork pies ????

Hofmanns do some nice ones, Phil

it must be Pertersens old care that stayed in the shop car park for weeks after he left! I have heard the same with tronc off a very reliable source. Not heard anything about Brough, but this does not suprise me Ted does very little to ease anyones confidence he talks the talk very well but does he walk the walk ???? NO

I hope it had a sunroof; that's a tiddly car for a big unit!

It was an S-reg 'Rolls Canardly.'

Don't most of the players get Hyundais from Horbury Bridge?

Would that be in the gym when you had a spare moment from counting all your cash??

Yeah FV cash

King John passed me the other day in one of those funny looking little Volvo's; I felt a bit sorry for him - surely we could run to a nearly-new Mondeo?!
