Why not? You could make constructive suggestions at least. You are one of the most consistently negative posters over years. Even when times were better.
I'm not happy with the recruitment over the past couple of years and particularly the decision to swap hall for dagger . But, I can't escape the fact our ground improvements, against a sea of obstacles placed on us by the council and developers of Newmarket, are a huge positive for the club. Some fans make horrendous accusations against Michael Carter. Absolutely unfair. You get in his shoes and see what it was like to try to get us to progress, then tell me it's not for fans to find solutions

It would be hoped that the former which is his principal role would not require him to take on the former. The conclusion for whatever reasons the club failed to generate enough income to sustain our SL position.

Unfortunately it’s a sign of the society we live in where is socially acceptable to sit behind a keyboard and spout vitriol and personal accusations and even abuse about individuals . It’s the side of RL that i find very unpalatable ,and yes we all have our opinions on every aspect of the clubs running, and long may that continue .Not one single person who supports or cares for the club is happy with the situation we find ourselves in ,and lots of things that have happened recently have had the most laid back fan scratching their head , but it’s a game and the people who run it are only human with families and as such should be treated accordingly imo . That doesn’t mean they can’t be questioned or held accountable but verbal abuse isn’t the way to go about it and has got to be stamped out

Said this all along PT.

As a Director of Rugby, MC makes a first class CFO and I’m the ideal world would have stayed in that lane.

Alas, I know perfectly well that we don’t live in that perfect world.

Being fair to MC he does all the other stuff, and does missus MC so I’d agree a lot of the sniping is unfair.

Always have been, but surely we can all remember the off seasons from 1999 til when he took the reigns. There didn't seem on a winter where we weren't subject to a winding up order from HMRC.

Thankfully those seem to be a thing of the past.

We are not skint.
We are not rich.

Big difference.

We've been skint since the coal merchant died in the late 60's.

The latest set of accounts would say otherwise.

I guess it's a question of definition.
I'm thinking skint means we can't pay wages, rather than not having spare cash.

Either way, finances are always tough at Wakefield.
