| It was refreshing to see someone at a club being so forthright & open about where it is at.
If the £400k is raised, let's hope it just doesn't disappear into a black hole with the club going bust anyway.
Wakey have made great strides forward & are on the cusp of making another big step with the new ground.
Good luck to them.

WHY WHY WHY do we attract the wrong people over and over again? I just knew this was wrong. Lots of little things looking not right from the word go. Hee we go again

The part about selling more players is more of a threat really, if the fans don't back the club and if the club can't atrract some investment then it will become a fact of life.
Lets hope for the best charlie.

Yes it is more than an idle threat. Please everyone get your season tickets, get your mates to get one, bring friends to the game Sunday, go to the shop and buy one item however small. Yes its happening again , yes we are not happy , yes we may have had enough BUT are we going to give up NO !!!

| Al, when you say "The statement by our owner was like jsckanory returning" are you referring to the "all is well" statement from Glover the other week, or the "we are in the e" statement from Carter on Saturday?

Wouldn't say he said all is well but yes that fairytale Tommy.
A insult to the fans of this great club imo.

OK, thought so. In your considered opinion then, is there worse still to come out in the wash?

l don't have that info but I can say it seems that problems have been found on a daily basis and they all add up.
Hopefully it will be sorted and we can move forward.

Can we trust Mr Carter though Al? We have trusted and been burnt before. We have no option I suppose. . I feel like a women who as had several husbands and got lied to 5times married and divorced cheated on. The ups and downs of being a Wakefield fan.

| Wow!! a wonderful insight into the mind of NGB4C!!!
I get your point though, its knowing where the lies end and the truth starts, and in fairness to Michael Carter hes probably finding this out too.

I trust him and at the end of the day fans & folk of Wakey have to decide whether we want a club or not. At this moment Mr Carter has nothing to gain and everything to lose

| Well with 8k through the gates most home games the answer is YES!
I think all the supporters really want is a well managed sustainable club?

| I honestly don't think Ted R or Andy G came in to this intending to break the club. I'm sure Carter is the same.
It's a different reality when you come to actually making it work. It's hard.
If I won the lottery I'd back/buy the club as well
But I still wouldn't know how to run it. I'd have to employ people who I think can.
And when you do that, you are sometimes let down.

No he hasn't, and that's probably a good thing.

| The threat to the club is real, the possibility of further players leaving is very real!
The call to action and the plea for investment is not idle nor is it a ploy!
You know what they say about when the going gets tough. . . .
Time for us to get/keep going and start someone else going as well!

I honestly don't think the people of Wakefield are the ones to look towards for putting things right.
The people of Wakefield have shown their efforts to the club by turning out in their thousands at every home match to watch a very mediocre team. The have bought merchandise and buy drinks and pies.
There's a recession on out there and money for a lot is tight.
I agree keep let's keep supporting and most no doubt will BUT investment is needed from Mr Big. He has to be found. Selling Ben Cockayne for £30000 will help, for how long, a month? putting season tickets up will help but the same numbers won't buy and if team is ravished, how many of the non season ticket holders will pay to watch next season.
No, things may be put right again but let's not kid ourselves that it's sunshine and roses after that because it isn't! It always going to be a struggle because we are not big enough. Simple as that. The fact that we're having a 12000(?) capacity stadium (whenever that happens) speaks volumes for the ambition of the club.
I'm just spelling things out as I see them but, surely somewhere , globally there is someone who would like to invest in a sleeping giant. If we can still wake the bugger up that is!

| I heard some stories last night, some of which would make your toes curl up and some of which would give you hope for the future.
I'm not sure what I can share yet, but I'll try to find out.
From what I gather though, MC is doing his level best to secure the club in both the immediate and the long term, and a name that was once touted as the saviour may be back in the frame.

Toe curling, too right.
In the frame, sounds like some sort of double glazing slang.

That's the point though. It was a REALLY good deal but not enough took it up to make it work properly. I would have paid more I think but it's easy to say that in hindsight. I'm going to give some back this weekend by buying a ticket even though I have a season ticket. I know not everyone can do it but if all season ticket holders did that it would be over £80k extra in one go.
And as for the players being ravished........I realise it's a typo but I don't think we'll be allowed to give that kind of benefit in kind to the players.
