| Quote ="1315trinity"I really don’t know what the hold up with the takeover is, but international conglomerates change hands quicker that our club!
I’m sure it’s has to be right for the club BUT if it didn’t go ahead JM would still be at the helm.
Personally I don’t have a problem with that but someone with rugby knowledge must do the recruiting!
I sincerely hope it does go ahead because if it doesn’t the future looks very bleak to me.'"
They absolutely don't, and this proves where the problem is.
International conglomerates don't tell everyone they are doing anything until its all agreed.
Carter made the stupid mistake of telling everyone it would be done in 4 weeks before they'd even spoken about what each side wanted to do.
If he'd said nothing they could have just worked at their own speed and stopped all the noise.

Thought he said four weeks after heads of terms were agreed, I.e. spoke about what each other wants out of the deal. The due diligence period has been excessive, although because of who I don't know.

Carter's lived off the saviour tag for the last 10 years and while doing so totally ignored the hole the club was sinking in season after season.you can blow smoke up his bottom all you like he's been at the helm for 10 shambolic years'"
Can not get my head round the fact ,that Carter took over a ground that looked,as though it was just fit enough to get house's built on it, and now, a new owner as just bought the club that is part of a 100,000 million plus business and the East Stand as been sponsored by a building company that is the biggest in G B and yet fans are still having a go at M C ,and J M, Just got to say there are fans who have some kind of vandeta against M C and J M tell me Lampyboy and the rest how long have you watched Wakefield just in S L who was it before that St, Wigan ,Leeds ,could it be Bradford in there a day because you are certainly not true Wakefield fans, Wakefield as a club had sunk in to the ground way before Mr Carter took it on He as got the hole filled in ,set for some one else to rebuild ,from the ground up ,now the foundation have been laid .

That’s why those clubs remain in the Championship, the more ambitious ones such as Leigh, Featherstone, Bradford, Toulouse , will find the extra funds to achieve promotion, until now, but who knows with the IMG lottery about to start

Nah you're right, they just nearly went out of existence.

| I have supported the club over 50 years MC was doing OK when it was him and Brereton but after he left for whatever reason and MC was in total control the squad and on field performances began to falter. We are now where we are, it’s a pity that he was unable to find additional support in his 10 years tenure especially with him constantly reminding us he did not have the resources and enough supporters turning up to move the club forward.
It is not a vendetta just some of us trying to point out his many failures whilst in charge for which some have glossed over because he once saved the club from the company he was the accountant for, whose owner for all his failings did not reclaim his money invested during his spell.

No, because fortunately there was always somebody worse than us. Sadly this time we were the worst.

| Powell on a 4 year deal just one of the changes, the rest appear much needed to run a RL club.

| Yes about time, a complete breath of fresh air. Seems quite a while since we had such positive and ambitious statements being released. Much better than all the dour woe is me stuff, that has been pumped out over the last few years.

| A very positive statement of intent from the new owner. Seems to really understand the importance of investing in fans both on and off the pitch, and what is needed to turn the club around.

On the back of this news, I look forward to getting a season ticket and seeing what the year brings

| No beating around the bush, massive statement.
Appoint Daryl Powell as the new head coach on an initial 4-year deal.
Appoint a recruitment and salary cap manager to ensure we have fully researched every new player signing for the club.
Ensure the youth setup and youth scouting setup delivers the best players coming through the Academy/Scholarship and once they reach first team level keep them at the club.

| Quite the statement of intent that. If the actions match the words then it could be a very interesting time moving forward. Fingers crossed.

| Indeed.
If the choice was this or survive and continue as we were I think we'd all choose this.
