Must admit my passion for Wakey will never die no matter what division we’re in. I was a ball boy when we were in the championship and I’ll be a spectator next year in the championship. I’m not happy about it but what can ye do.

But that's the problem.
The squad on paper was OK but big players weren't available for much of it like Jowitt and Tanginoa and some just didn't perform like Proctor and Atoni.
That isn't Mash.

He has other things to carry blame for but no coach can solve those two things and for a team with small squad like ours, that is massive.

No Team in S L would have lost 15 games on the trot even with half the team out , He is just the worst coach we have had at Wakefield Rember he was on the first team coaching staff last year .so he new the problems ,and made them worse

I disagree.
And knowing the problems isn't really enough is it.
If we had problems last year, and then lose Fifita, Batch, Miller Arona......and then Tanginoa, Murphy and Jowitt through no fault of his own he's already set up to fail.

Add to the his NRL signings were duds..... you lose 15 games.

I'm not saying he's a top coach, but I'm not sure anyone else would have done better with what he had

You may or may not be right PT but somebody else should have been given the chance to do so.
Let's face it another coach could not have done much worse could he?
There would have been a cost implication, of course, but there's an even bigger financial loss now to contend with!

What can ye do? Give your head a wobble Pat mucka. It's pretty damn clear what we need to do.

- Start everyday by posting on here AND on Facebook, alerting people to the fact that MC/JM simply do not give a toss about the club.

- Once that's out of the way with and people are aware, get back onto Applegarth because as we all know, he isn't fit to coach and should be sacked immediately.

- Finally if you find yourself bored at all, jump on here and give Poptart a bit of stick.

Rinse and repeat until our once great club is back to where it needs to be.

On Wednesdays we all meet in the Hark to Mopsey in Normanton, it's set out like an AA meeting but you get 5 minutes to scream and shout about the situation the clubs in. Got an extra box of tissues for this week as I'm forecasting some tears.

If you're planning on coming, could you refrain from wearing heavy boots? Bit of damage occurring from where the lads have ended up stamping their feet.

If Scarlet is right and Ellis is retaining Mash and Long they will be queuing all the way up the road.

He believes he is being retained, it may not be what a new owner might think

Better this than to bow and doff your overpriced WT baseball cap in his presence. I have said many times about supporters like you “none so blind as those that cannot see”. We have survived the last few seasons despite them but not due to them. They have hollowed out the squad to what we are left with today.
I wonder do you think we would survive if they stayed in charge and had to furnish the debts they have accrued?

Honestly, do you not read any of the comments after you post this every couple of days.
1) there was no one else so the is no "despite them"
2) they have made the company a business that can survive with admin or selling players
3) they have created a way to 'furnish' the debt
