this is the reality for Wakjefield from the people who are in cahrge of the club. they are actively trying to sell players to stop Wakefield going from Administration to extinction.
Quote O’Hara said the sale of players could be avoided if a take-over was completed – and he admitted the decision of a previous prospective owner – Steve Parkin – not to go ahead had contributed to the departures of Obst and Ferguson.
He stressed: “I have got to get the best possible price.
“I have no wish to decimate the club.
“If Mr Glover had conducted himself professionally, or a deal had been done with Mr Parkin when we came out of court on Friday, he could kept who he wanted and done what he wanted.
“He (Glover) has not told me who he wants to keep and who he wants to go. There’s over 30 people on the pay role, non-playing people – at enormous cost.
“And at the moment I still don’t know what the players are entitled to, in terms of bonuses.
“Nobody has come up with any money at all.
“At the moment costs are clocking up and wages have got to be found from somewhere, let alone finding any money for creditors.
“If players go that reduces the wage bill, which has been the basis of the club’s demise.
“If I don’t make these cuts, whoever buys it is going to have to have deep pockets.”'"

The RFL have it in for Wakey don't they?
BTW in case anyone is interested I do feel for the Wakey fans but some of them seem to have become so fixated on the whole RFL=BAD idea that they just can't see it.

| Yes, it's a real shame for Wakefield's fans (at least). Dark times for them.
O'Hara's are damned if they do & damned if they don't, so if you get a load of vultures howering around, picking over the bones, then they have no option.
=#FF0000edited, MR.
Wonder who will be next to go from Wakey ? Starting to seem pretty much nailed on who isn't going to get a franchise now then, doesn't it ?
Seriously dark days...

Quite right. Have some feeling for Kear who dislocated 2 fingers when some amatuer backroom staff member forgot to put down his rubberised mouse mats where he drums his fingers!

You're back! I tried to keep the place tidy in your absence but in truth not many Hull fans have been here so it's been like working for HCC. Can't begin to imagine why?

Aye, I nearly killed myself in The 'Diff and now I've got HN51 again due to over excess.
At one point on Saturday night, I think I joined the French Communist Party. Still, as I said to one of The Skein on Sunday, it's better than going to Salford where you have to become a Tory for the day to get a decent pint.

Have your wings clipped and your plume shaved, this will remedy your symptoms and also make you immune for future strings of the virus.

I wondered what I was doing wrong! I'll have to get the 'Harry Enfield' tapes out and have a practice.

| I will buck the trend here.
If Wakefield are in trouble then teams will sniff around for their players thats the world we live in.
Hull needed a HB/Hooker back up and Obst fits the bill.
Sure, Wakey fans will be miffed but thats the situation they are in.

| I feel for the Wakey fans Yes, it's the nature of the world we live in for business to be conducted in this way, it doesn't make it right though. It must be very sad to see the likes of this happen to the team you support. I hope the club can come out of the other side of this.

| The sale has gone through and Wakefield are out of admin, which I'm sure is a big relief to them.

Two completely seperate posts and points. But well done for loaning them a couple of players. Still reckon they'd rather still have Ferguson back but it's just good news Wakey are back on their feet..

| The Hull KR fans have arguably been the most supportive to us during this rough time.
Cheers for that guys, much appreciated.

| but even when times were good lets not forget that the grounds a hole where you can't even see the tryline unless you're 20 rows up and no effort was made to improve facilities, little things like that make a difference to a clubs turnover, hence us trying to better the southstand.
