Burrows

Let me know the full list of candidates and I'll tell you. Although my point is more regarding the underhand tactics and self gratification of our leaders.

Well that's just it we don't know the full list, as far as we know he could well be the best applicant.

As far as the second sentence you will have to spell it out for me.

No

Thats exactly whats happened here, fringe players in return for Murphy.

When is Walshaw going or any other Wakey youngster who shows he is above average?

In the past we've sold through lack of funds, whats the excuse now.

think looking at a past post it was a done deal last year , maybe the terms have changed maybe not but the source that the poster got it from is as reliable as a Mods ban button

The sad thing is we will always be a selling club.
Until the people of Wakefield support in sufficient numbers or we gave the financial clout to match those clubs, they will always be able to offer our above average players.
Junior development can be a double edged sword, we can produce the players, but we can't keep them if another club covets them more than we can.
Until we can regularly turnover 2500 plus ST holders every year at higher profit, than we are bravely struggling to do this season, we will always be playing catch up.
There is an argument for not "wasting" money on such junior talent, when you can pick up scraps from other clubs, until we are strong enough to retain our own.
It's not one I personally subscribe to, but none the less it exists from a purely financial point of view.

Is there any need to be a smart ? I didn't actually think you was talking about the Coaching situation when you talk of underhand tactics etc but wasn't it common knowledge that he wasn't first choice and we wanted Millward before him and Gentle.

Agar is more a pal of Davide Longo than Elston.

Either way, it's looking very cosy again at the top table.

The problem with the cosyness at the previous top table, was that it was proved to be detrimental to the good running of the club, and that many of those where not qualified to do the jobs they had fortuitously found themselves doing.

Saying all this, RL is a pretty small world and there are plenty who are going to be friends, I couldn't give a monkeys if they are as long as they are the right men for the job.

I'm not making a judgement either way - just saying like.

Its just so happens that the best men for the job are all bestest buddies, thats a stroke of luck eh.

Agar was always going to get the job despite JE telling us different.

You did say it was, so I assumed you were.
However if you weren't and I fully accept you may not have being, without letting the lunatics completely daub the assylum with their own faeces this time round, we have yet to see if this set of inmates are going to have a negative affect on the running of said asylum.
They all appear to be qualified to do their jobs, so that should make a significant difference.

If you say so bud.

Until we see the list of applicants its hard to think otherwise.

And it's different now in what way - you still don't get it do you.

Still is the problem. I've said it from the start, AG does not have the money required to do what we all want him to do. This is made worse if what I'm told is true that AG made himself a major obstacle when Parkin wanted in.

Now I'm not saying Parkin would have been better, but I do think money would not be as big an issue.

From what you have been told ..........go on then do as , as one does vasty name the source

all this Parkin is making me vomit , its getting as tedious as the mystery sheik who was going to pump trillions into the club only he didn't like teddy and vausey wouldn't let him sit on the back seat of the supporters bus.

If parkin wanted to wade in with his size 15 dockers and wave his magic wand bringing in 17 world beaters and Wayne Bennett he would of done , fact is this is planet earth a place you n a few others should drop by a few times .

hope this hasnt started you week off to bad sweetcheeks

We are still in SL, we are more stable, we have a plan, we have a strengthening squad, matchday revenue is going in to the club coffers, e are in a position to attract spectators via the season ticket offer, and even if we don't get 2500, it'll be more than the 100 or so we had last year.
If you don't think that's improvement...............

Dont know about the rumours regarding AG, so cant comment. The thing though with Parkin was, if he was really really really interested he would be the owner, so either he wasnt that interested or he was interested only in part of the deal, and that appeared to be the ground.
As far as i can see, there are two ways we can go forward, with the money and owner we have and the people of the city behind the club or with a sugar daddy with a load of cash.
We are part way down the path with the first and nowhere with the second, so its a bit of a no brainer.
As ive posted on numerous occasions, AG doesnt have the ££££ needed to bankroll us, what he has got though is the ability to improve the general efficiency of the club and market us better (and that will all pay dividends), but until the people of wakefield get of their s we will always be a small club that sells most of its best players.

exactly!
