Should have given it Anderson in the first place. No nonsense. Will get the defence sorted out, get the forwards working well, you won’t get anything fancy but you will get simple and effective. He will be able to put something in place quickly that will work with the players you have. It’s not champagne rugby but it wins games. And the players will respect him.

A fine endorsement, can we tell him you sent us.

Well you don’t have much choice right now with other suitable candidates who may have been able to step in having moved on to other things. Tony smith likely won’t touch you after Brian’s short tenure with the club and the way he left. Anderson is involved in the international set up but should be able to come in on a short term agreement to try and drag you out of this mess. You need something because WP can’t get you out of this mess and the players seem unable to do so without leadership.

Actually no - it hasn’t at all other clubs. In a recent fan forum we learnt that our sponsorship at Huddersfield is the highest it’s ever been. Ken Davy realised that trying to grow the fan base to increase revenue was a lost cause so the emphasis was taken away from there. Instead he reduced ticket prices and increased the focus on business sponsorship. The business sponsorship brings in more revenue than money lost to ticket sales.
He didn’t build a financial advice business and sell it for 75 million by not understanding finances!


This is exactly what I have been saying for a long time,it is the job of the CEO/owner (call it whatever you want) to bring on the investment or get in people who can bring in the investment, it quite simply isn't good enough or proffesional to say "nobody wants to invest" a good CEO/owner gets the people to believe in the product and puts the necessary plans and procedures into place to make this happen.
We are (at the moment) playing in the elite level of rugby league but being run like a corner shop

Well there you go then, perhaps those financial genius's on here what know how to run the club could get in touch with Mr Davey to find out where Mr Carter is going wrong.


It's Mr Carter's job !!!!
What do.you think would happen to a CEO in any other business that didn't bring in any investment and just allowed the business to die

It's difficult to argue with your logic here, massive problems with the fans split on whom to blame wish I had the answers like you appear to have, what I can't get my head round is your sudden concern for the plight of our club when for years you've shown nothing but open contempt for our club not forgetting the ridicule shown by you when Mr Davey not for the first time reached for the cheque book to take advantage of our financial plight by offering our players the moon on a stick, anyway enough said go get the kids off to school and get the housework done, and thank you for the input btw :D

Hello there :D
In answer to your question unless your trying to catch me out or you genuinely don't know, I would imagine he would join the ranks of the unemployed, unless you have another theory.

100% correct but all you seem to read on here is that there is nobody willing to invest,people.seem to forget that one of his roles as CEO is to get the investment or to employ people who can get the investment.
We are a massive city compared to nearly all the other clubs and can't bring in the money needed !!!
After around 40 years of watching this club I have never seen it in such a bad state.

Not that I actually give a toss either way, but isn't it a chap called Thewlis what runs shudds? Mr Daley's job is to provide the wedge, I'm sure Jools will be along shortly to explain it from the thread to the needle.

So you are saying Anderson should have taken over from Chester 3 year ago that was when the The **** started to come to Wakefield
