We barely brought anyone in before the start of the season and now, when a lot of senior players are leaving and Poching has the chance to build his team, he’s gone. Don’t understand. 

[David Shepherd]

Seems odd, given his late season performance.

Danny Orr 

[Jughead]

Four wins from their last five games and finishing 10th. If you’d have offered that, I’m sure they’d have taken it. As for who they appoint, I’m not sure.

That said, Daryl Powell is bomb proof it seems. 

[Old Frightful]

Brett Hodgson’s available…

[Davo5]

Really strange decision 

[paulwalker71]

You'd have to think there is more to this

Fallout with Carter? Player revolt?

Because what would Trinity have expected? They finished 10th with one of the smallest budgets in the League and weren't seriously in danger of relegation for the last few weeks of the season after hitting some good form.

What's that OF you'll drive him over yerself  

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Bizarre, didn't set the world alight but did what needed to be done. Don't see anyone out there who could offer improvement and who's available and who wants to come to Trinity.

Exactly. He had turned things around from a mid season crisis

Isn't that par for the course at Wakefield? 

It's not as if Carter is particularly supportive of his players in many of his media statements.

Surely if they knew they was going to sack him they should have had Tony Smith lined up before his move to the Black and Whites

Rumoured concerns with coaching standards voiced by senior pro's during the season. I had issue with their playing standards for a good portion of the season so it's a bit off for them to criticise the coach.

So, "player revolt" then?

[Just Browny]

Odd. He seemed to have got them on a decent trajectory and probably deserved a chance to show if they could keep it going in a new season.

Maybe they are going to stash some money away for when they get relegated next season. Absolutley ludicrous decision.

Carter has his faults but the main one is being too loyal to his coaches. Chester lasted two years longer than he should've and he signed a new contract which was financially honoured despite his sacking.

If we had any of those players left that could be true!

One of those Fifita? He gets away with it because some fans idolise him.

And I suspect that this sacking will hardly encourage a potential coach who could offer improvement to come to Wakefield. It does seem very harsh on Poching.

[Forever Trinity]

If you read the detail he was signed as head coach for 12 months at which point it would be reviewed, that review has taken place and an extension has not been agreed hardly a sacking. based on the full season and how we hit rock bottom after the Magic weekend its no surprise.
