Quote ="mwildcats"I think the OP.. was a good one, and one we need to keep asking so we don't get in the situations we have again.
So I think initially the 3000 members was to keep paying the squad of players we had last year, obviously we have lost some of the high earners & others smith, aiton, poore, amor, mellars & cockayne.
I dont think we have 2000 members; yet we have signed Godinet, Anderson, Ryan, Moore, Shulver and paid a transfer fee for McShane.
The chairman stated that when he looked further into the defecit if was much more than the 400k (perhaps 500k+) .... we have signed a few more sponsors but I think we all are surprised at the situation we now face ourselves in i.e. numerous half decent signings from the other side of the world all costs associated with that.
Yes KH might have negotitated good contracts.. but think there will be dark days ahead especially I predict a dramatic drop in attendances. We need to start the season well to encorage the walk up support.
So I am thankful to all the present team at WTW; however due to what has gone on before us.. we need to be on our toes, and ask these valid question's.'"
I agree. In the last ten years we seem to have had some dark days, yet we've bounced back in face of adversity, and I think we're in that bouncing back stage now. However on one hand I cant help but wonder when our next slump will be, but on the other hand, we now have KH on board and some links to Leeds Rhinos, which it pains me to say, but I think they're the best administered club in SL and I just wonder if KH is putting those processes in place at Wakefield.
