To his way of thinking, it would make perfect sense. Then, if Wakey got 6 points back on appeal, logically the chairmen of all the other SL clubs would resign on principle, and Wakey would be top, albeit in a SL of one.

If the appeal is all above board and conducted in accordance with RFL rules and say we get 2 points back then he has nothing to cry about.
You look after your team and we will look after ours springs to mind.

He knows that if we get our points back, or some of them at least, then it's a dogfight between Wakefield and Bradford to survive. They've done their best Wakefield, with the letter they wrote to the RFL, and signing our two best players, to ensure we get relegated. But if we get our points back then Mr Carter knows his team will struggle. Can't wait till June 1st.

Me too can't wait to beat Wakey !

come on you bulls !

Running scared (though I don't know why. We'd struggle to stay up without a points deduction) is Carter. Reading between the lines it wouldn't surprise me if Wakefield aren't far off an insolvency event. He wants to stop signing players and start living within his means. Doesn't matter if your debts aren't big if your income is all. The ground only holds 5000 and they can't even fill that. The fact he's had to put up his own house as capital for finance prove they aren't cutting their cloth and he hasn't a pot to in for underwriting losses. He'll reap what he sows.

I see we now have Richie Mathers in the papers moaning about the possibility of us getting some points back

Pretty obvious what their tactics are,pity they don't have as many tactics on the field

Disappointing, but not a great surprise from the Wakefield club. Which paper is it in Roger?

There's a little piece in today's Sun,only a couple of paragraphs but I reckon there will be noises coming out of Wakefield every couple of days till the appeal date

I think we should tell Carter to give us Sammut and Scruton back and we will drop the appeal. We will probably only get 2 points back anyway and those 2 players may get us more points through the season

Its a bloody cheek they have.

After speaking to someone at the Bulls last night, I have it on good authority that despite what was said by Mark Moore about Wakefield doing things correctly when signing Sammut and Scuton that it was in fact done on the dirty.

Wakey players made the contact with the said two, and we received a pricely sum of £7.5k per player!!!

If true, I really do hope that we get the points back and end up stuffing them!!!

Me too

I wonder if Sammut and Scruton will come out and say it's a disgrace if we get points back

Why would it not be true?

After all, if you want to come on here suggesting that you are somewhat "in the know" due to your "contacts", then you would think that you be trust them.

My contacts at the club tell me Bulls actually paid Wakey to take them off the wage bill.

There's certainly nothing in the administration accounts to show we received a penny in transfer fees.

I suppose, as a Bulls' fan, I don't really care who goes down - as long as it's not us. But, I m getting as I'd just love to see those sanctimonious prigs go down, I'd just LOVE it...

Would that be in a Kevin Keegan type way of " I would love it"

Yeah, exactly. I knew it was and ex-Liverpool manager but I couldn't think of the name..

Actually Newcastle at the time I believe.

Yes ,after they had just lost 4-3 at Liverpool

Eddie... stop being a knob by trying to pick an argument with anything anyone says.

I don't and have never claimed to be "in the know", nor do I have any "contacts". I was merely speaking to a member of staff in the football department in the coral stand after the game who told me this.

I've never had any other bit of information from this person so I wouldn't know if they are reliable but i would have to assume that someone on the staff with much experience would have the full story.

But they'll never, ever, know as much as Eddie....

I am not trying to pick an argument at all. It is just that this place is full of people who claim to have some form of inside knowledge or quote things from a club employee.

Most of them are a load of twaddle.

Why you would be so specific about something you don't necessarily believe is odd.

Oh dear.

I've seen some mjor dummy spitting on rlfans over the years but this thread is the big bazooka of them all.

A chairman has the "audacity" to raise the point of the unlevelled playing field that exists then all of a sudden hes Satan in half of Bradford!

wikipedia Moral Hazard and then apply it yourselves and the RL authorities. Something you need to think about next time you go on one of your spending binges

Sorry to be a pedant, but Keegan was never Liverpool manager (I know it was Bulliac who said that bit) and that quote was after a 1-0 win at Leeds.
