"You people who love WTW or are just footy lovers need to react before it's too late for a great old club.

Yes I believe it's that serious.

Ask better questions if you want to discover the REAL TRUTH."

Maybe the better questions and 'real truth' Brian is referring to, he's already raised himself publicly many times? I'll probably get shot down for this, but he's always had alot to say in post match interviews about strange referee decisions/lopsided penalty counts, unfair fixture runs and things like that. Conspiracy, just excuses or something completely different? I suppose only he knows.

[quote="cocker"]Yep when the going got tough he walked. No way did he not know what our situation was , and as for previous statements regarding heating/coaches to Fev I've never heard anything so pathetic! Lastly he chose Facebook to communicate why he left.....how professional is that?[/quote]

What other form of media could he use, I bet if he went to the press you would be on here lambasting him for it. I did not read anything particularly contentious in his Facebook post unless of course you have the need to justify that the club was not at fault in anyway.
I admit it I have no idea what went on but neither do you but yet you are certain of where the blame lies. I doubt it was easy to leave considering he had persuaded players to join us and why would someone who knew they could go at the end of the season decide the only course of action was to walk in resign and leave.

Re: Brian smith quits!! : Thu Mar 10, 2016 10:31 pm  

Sorry SP but I get the impression B.Smith would have come out and said exactly what was wrong instead of some veiled attack. Also where have I said where the blame lies?.....I remarked on comments he is supposed to have made regarding funds "being cut to the bone with no heating/ coach to Featherstone." No where in my post have I said what was to blame, it is you that seems relentless in your blaming of the club .
I think I thought he was more of a professional than to finish the way he did.....yes he did persuade players to come to the club , it will be interesting to see if they are happy to stay in such a terrible place !!!!

Any that leave would not be unusual at Wakefield, that is one thing we are very good at loosing players not at the end but during the season.
With regards the club next time you go just look around and you will see the state it is in. We still have supporters in the east stand who thought after 4weeks they would have been able to mark the reserved seats to stop anybody just sitting in them.

I think it says that he struggles to accept his own failings and lashes out to protect his own self image.

I've lost a lot of respect for him with that parting shot at the club which isn't born out of concern and is little more than bitter s4!t stirring.

The truth is more likely that his methods don't work in the modern game, an opinion that's backed by his failure at his last two NRL clubs.

The jobs too hard and will take too long for a bloke of almost 62 years old who anchors for an easier life back home in a warmer climate.

Unfortunately he can't be honest with us because he can't be honest with himself!

Re: Brian smith quits!! : Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:51 am  

Spot on Avenger... the bloke has had his day in the game the job at this club is too hard for him and unlike at Bradford where they brought a whole load of top players in and got into heavy debt that a few years down the line would cost them big time Carter wont let that happen here and its sour grapes because of it

Re: Brian smith quits!! : Fri Mar 11, 2016 11:27 am  

I was all for the appointment of Brian Smith. I didn't expect miracles just keeping us in superleagued last season and an improvement in the defence this season. . Walking away after 5 games is the action of a coward. Refusing to give proper reasons to the supporters for leaving is equally despicable. Posting a cryptic message on Facebook saying supporters should ask better questions is malicious and the action of someone who not only has no feeling for the club but is also actively trying to destabilise the club. I am no supporter of MC. I think he treats's the supporters with contempt at times but I don't think he is to blame for Smith leaving. If BS knows different now he is back in Oz he should tell us what he meant that Facebook message. On another note. Who was the CEO who rang MC before BS had resigned?. Brian's brother r obviously knew he was jumping ship so it must have been the CEO of Warrington hoping to offload a certain assistant coach well known to supporters of this club. Let's hope MC tells them were to go.
