very well said Mr Carter,think some of his critics should put up or shut up,the man has done his level best in running the club,he did,nt come in to see us giving the performances we have this season,he for one as tried is upmost,and yes he has made mistakes and I don't always agree with the signings but I don't know the ins and outs of the deals or what he as had to spend,i think he has tried to get the best value for the club rightly or wrongly,keep going mr Carter,i for one think you have done well for the club,lets hope we get the right result on sat

Yep well said, he's done a solid job and if we survive the weekend as a Super League Club then tomorrow is another day.

One slight amendment to what he said a couple of times, it's not all about winning, it's about competing and playing with a passion for the shirt and personal pride.

Agree with this. If only the players had competed in at least some of the ridiculous losses we have sustained MC would not have had to endure a lot of the criticism thrown at him.

I haven't been on this forum for very long compared to others. I fully understand the reasons that you think you have been shafted by Yorkcourt and agree with you. I have always been puzzled though as to why you blame Box and WMDC. I watched this clip and down the right hand side of the screen were other suggested clips. One was titled Wakefields new ground gets the green light. In it James Elston seems to thank WMDC for all their help in getting final PP through. So whats changed? Its a genuine question as it was before my time on here.

Excellent interview from MC

Here is hoping we survive and that the signings are indeed exciting

We wouldn't have a Stadium scheme if it weren't for WMDC. YC wouldn't have an industrial estate without us. Were we used as a Trojan Horse to get to part 2? The actions since OPP was granted have at least raised sever questions over the willingness and ability of WMDC in this process. They have a chance to put this right - will they do it? If they do, they can have my glass of Champers!

Because when it came to the point where they had to deliver, they failed/refused to do so. They allowed a sloppy 106 through and after that they refused to insist that the first massive build counted towards the stadium build.

Look at the difference in attitude from Box between your (Cas) stadium and the Newmarket one. And also Denise Jeffries who is 'not in the business of providing Rugby Stadiums' but took great glee in being in the Cas stadium champagne fest the other day.

I believe some or our more rabid forum members believe I have a vendetta against our chairman. I do not but I do with what he has done to my club. He sells a squad reduces the salary, then mid season releases some more further reducing the salaries and now he suddenly takes the moral stance and releases two more but manages to retain one, a useless one and probably the cheapest just before our most important game.
We also adopt a policy of keep the supporters in the dark, they are like children and wouldn't understand the workings of a business. I regret that many do and that is why the attendances continue to fall. Is it the club's fault no it is us the supporters despite only winning three league games, one cup match and three play off games we should all be happy to keep putting our hands in our pockets. I know many of you will but sadly without SL I fear you will be in the minority.
If we lose on Saturday I will personally hold him responsible because what we have now is a direct result of the decisions he has taken.
I am not part of the previous regime just a supporter for over 40 years, I have seen previous chairman make mistakes but this one just carries on, does he not have anyone who he will listen to because the little voice in his head just keeps saying yes carry on.
I hope I can apologies and what we have keeps us in SL .

Presumably Chris Brereton is the junior director with a lower investment in the club, but what is Chris's actual involvement in the day to day running of WT, and what does he inject in the way of club policy or is he completely sub-serviant to MC?

I am not their spokesman, but I can confirm that Chris and Michael work full time for the club along with the handful of staff we still retain. They are both very integral to the workings of the club.

Its interesting that the local papers of our opposition have run stories regarding our club before a game. we had the same thing going on when we played hull and h k r stating we had signed a hull player.
If M C did state the club would go part time it would have been a stupid thing to do. I very much doubt he gave a Bradford paper an exclusive, why would he.

A relegated club that could even consider a part time squad shows no ambition and would probably lose any full time players it had on its books to other S L clubs in the process.

Leigh have made some good signing already in preparation for next season and I think they would mount a much stronger challenge.
Bradford are probably looking at the opportunity on Sat and forming the opinion that they might not get a better chance to get in to S L for at least another couple of seasons,

You can doubt it all you want but it would appear he did say it. Doubt t&a would make it up and leave itself open to a libel claim.

Stands to reason. He's an accountant. What does an accountant do when faced with a drop in funding?

Any other chairman would say nothing sadly not ours. Sheffield look to go full time we look to regress to part time. I will leave it to the usual suspects to defend this one. I suppose it could be his way to demoralise the team further.
Over to you Chairman Chisset.

He frequently says nothing....especially about things we want to know about

what a hand job you are, if I personally know you but you hide behind your computer then please tell me to my face, you've certainly got some vendetta against the club if not MC or CB, if this was your club you wouldn't spew your verbal e on this forum, here's wishing you get tarred and feathered

Your request suggests that you have no reasonable reason why he should say that. I state I have no vendetta against the club after all I have probably been supporting them for over 40 years. I hope your beer is not as sour as your reply.

Do you suffer from piles Scarlett?

I still think that if Mc did make the quote reported he must in future stay well away from the press. Why would he make such a quote and give the Bradford paper an exclusive.
To say if relegated the squad would go part time is the totally wrong message to send out, when other clubs in the championship have built and invested in squads for next year and are about to go full time.
How can the statement be defended by any Wakey fan .
How do you think the full time players at the club are likely to take to it. how do you think any junior player will greet the news, whats the present squad attitude likely to be.
I hope this matter can be cleared up quickly .

Simple answer. If the players want to stay full time professionals at wakefield then win the next game.

The statement actually says the club would be forced to CONSIDER going part-time if relegated. For goodness sake stop making mountains out of molehills !!!!!!!! and concentrate on Saturday, God knows what folk will moan about if we actually win.

Its not a moan its quite simply a response to a bloody ill timed statement. Your right cocker the club should concentrate on the game any statements can then be made after the game.
I would have thought if anything had to be said the club would have been better offering a positive response that the players, coaching staff, and supporters could have taken some heart of. Saying the club would be forced to consider does not cut it. The club would have been better keeping stum.

He didn't just make that quote. He did a full articles worth discussing it.

In which he still didn't say we would go part time - just that it would be one option that would have to be considered.

Classic case of a selective headline used to make a statement of the bleeding obvious sound interesting; got to love local paper hacks!
