How many sports managers and coaches get sacked without having their contracts paid off unless its gross misconduct or something really serious I would suggest all contracts get paid up. I get the presumption here is an agreed contract verbally for a year but nobody unless party to that agreement have a clue about the detail

Totally agree with that last sentence.

I’m not sure some people realise what a poor reputation in the sport Trinity used to have. It was deep seated and went much further back than Ted and Glover. Trinity lost is reputation with local business, players and many RL folk as far back as the late 1970!s.

Even now I still know people with a distrust of the club though in most cases not the darn right hostility there used to be. I know from personal experience a number of players whose family ties were Trinity through and through who none the less were advised by those same people not to join the club.

If MC has one great achievement under his belt it’s re-establishing Trinity as a club that can be trusted. He can’t please everybody but one day soon I suspect our new found credibility will pay dividends.

In this regard this action can only help. The sight of a young coach who was given five seasons to achieve though ultimately fail not being thrown to the wolves and looked after is a great advert and will most certainly stop anyone bad mouthing the club. So imho it’s a win for both parties.

If Last is going to Castleford I suppose we could run with just one assistant coach which will part cover the outlay for paying Chester’s contract. This will at least give us an option to bring in a new head coach or if WP gets the job another assistant.

Any agreement is between Carter and Chester.
Time to move on

That's counter productive.
You are setting the new coach up to fail again.

If it's not in the budget we need to go with one less player somewhere.

As Wrencat says, it’s nothing to do with us and best left with the people running the club. There is surely too much strain and pressure anyway. A tough decision, the right one, has been made and all need time to rebuild and refocus for a very tough end of season, just let them all get on with it.
Me personally, I have found this last few months unbearable watching the deterioration but I will be there watching us hopefully give our best effort v Wire.

In answer to the thread title: 'Good'

Absolutely stinks especially for the fans who gave there season ticket money up now its going on a complete plank. Chester if he had anything about him would refuse it or donate back to the club. I wanted it to succeed but this is absolutely ludicrous verbal agreement. Shocking

Luckily we have a CEO who knows how to deal with people and businesses better than you.

Talking about a complete plank, how are you?

Whilst I personally have no strong feelings about it and can see the logic in doing what we've done; if, and it's big if, we had no legal obligation to do so (I don't pretend to know either way if we did or didn't), then I can see the perspective of those who did help out by donating their season ticket money who are a bit miffed we are forking out for this.

How long can we link every aspect of running the club to those of us who didn't ask for a refund last year?

I gave up mine for the sole purpose of seeing the club survive 2020.

I handed over this years cash to the club with no strings attached.

I am not miffed at all with my donations at least there is a club to support after all what has gone for the past 2 seasons

Obviously a way of making his parting a whole lot more palatable by the guy in charge, after all they are friends as well as business acquaintances and as such feels this is the right thing to do .

Whatever the relationship, it was the 'correct' thing to do.

Honouring the agreement is indeed the correct thing to do. Offering the extension agreement in the first place wasn’t.

We have difficulty attracting staff and players of quality as it is. The least we can do is show that employees will always be treated well with honour and integrity.

Some U-turn that, a verbally agreed contract extension to getting the sack!

I think that's a fair point.

That sums it up for me as well.

If the contract was signed then fair enough but if t wasnt well this is wrong
The money could be spent on a player.bit like start of season when player money went on last.

No it's not a contract can be enforced through a verbal agreement

In contract law "a verbal agreement between gentlemen is as legally binding as a written one"
MC has done the morally right thing, whether you agree or disagree with it. One thing you can say for certain over the last 6-7 years MC has always acted in a morally right manor and as an ex-chairman of a community club I have had first hand experience of him doing so.
It backs up the fact the WT is a family orientated club
