Apologies, that's my fault I was making a light hearted quip.
Re Brian Smith, I guess he has just had enough but a strange one so early in the season. 2 coaches gone already, wonder whom will be next.........

You know you shouldn't tease, it only enrages the enemy .

I’ve no idea why he’s decided to pack his bags & to be honest I really don’t care, just standard guff for a Wakefield fan, you just play the cards your dealt. I can only dream of my team winning the treble one year, followed by abject despair regarding the numerous injuries blighting another straight forward year of total domination.
Regarding who’s next, I care even less .

No, I am not Ali G. He is a fictional character portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen.
You, on the other hand are obsessed with Hull KR.

| Brian Smith is reported to have left for personal reasons -- whatever that means.

If rumours are to be believed its more likely to be for personnel reasons.

| It seems as if Wakefield is badly run. How could the club lose such a prominent and experienced coach in such a way? I don't foresee Wakefield staying in Super League beyond this year.

Brian Smith had a "frosty" relationship with Michael Carter since Christmas, according to Carter.

Brian Smith is a difficult man to work with, unlike his amiable British brother Anthony.

Coach demands club spends money it doesn't have, Chairman refuses.
How is that a badly run club?

I think that you are right. I will retract my earlier statement.
Brian Smith is the problem.

I think that should be “Was"& "Part” of the problem, but ultimately only a small part of what the problem is with Wakefield Trinity

Wakefield are not badly run. Carter has worked his off to get them back in the black. However, you can't polish a turd.
There is a lack of investment whether that be a lack of sponsorship or from shareholders.
The fan base don't help. They have a massive chip on their shoulder and do nothing but whinge.

Not me mate. Haven't you got a Castleford/councillor Box conspiracy theory to get back to?
You lot were even claiming the council had planned road works on Doncaster road to hurt your attendances at one point last season.

| Taken from BBC-
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats chairman Michael Carter has admitted he had a "frosty" relationship with former coach Brian Smith.
Smith, 61, quit his role as head coach on Tuesday after 10 months in the job, despite signing a new deal in October.
His former assistant Stuart Dickens has been put in charge of the team for Friday's game against St Helens.
"By his manner you could tell this wasn't a decision that was going to get changed," Carter told BBC Radio Leeds.
"We've had a frosty relationship since Christmas and those reasons will stay with me. He was the highest paid coach we've ever had and it's the highest playing budget we've ever had here.
"Quitting is not an option for some of us and we have to live with the hand we were dealt."
Smith joined the club in May 2015 and helped them retain their Super League status by beating Bradford in the Million Pound Game.
But the Wildcats have won only one of their five Super League matches this term and are 10th in the table.
Smith criticised the effect the schedule was having on his squad before leaving his post.
"From my point of view I've tried to back him to the hilt with everything he's wanted, but I guess at the end of the day it was never enough," Carter added.
"I want somebody in as quickly as possible. We need stability and we need to start to focus on winning games."

Well that's that then wildthing thinks I'm weird and a troll.
Maybe you should follow your own advice and not bite. Resorting to hurling abuse just serves to prove my point. Thanks for that.
