I am not the least bit worried about the championship, when you have the resources Wakey may be getting, promotion will be a breeze. 

Not under IMG's system it won't.

As a Wakefield Trinity supporter for fifty years (hence the grey hair and almost permanent look of disappointment) it will be fantastic if we can attract someone as committed to the club, and with the financial clout, as Derek Beaumont at Leigh.Sure he has his 'moments' but he bleeds red and white (or leopard skin print.)

We've had a false dawn or two down at Belle Vue over the years ,  eg Pearman and Glover so whilst I hope it happens I'll wait until the cheques are cashed and the money is in the bank before I get too excited.

Well not for the fans of Leeds, Saints or Wigan, but I should imagine - no positive - that 99% of the rest of the devoted Rugby League fans would welcome the domination of those three to end.

Although id be bitterly disappointed if Saints didn’t win anything this season Harry, it would be great too see a new club lifting the SL Trophy, and a different name being etched onto the CC who have not won it for a while.

What's that got to do with anything?

Because you’re the wise old veteran from a club that’s been and done it all and therefore well qualified to pass on sage and patronising advice (again) - or not.  “You’ve not won anything yet” from a fan whose team (despite many years of financial support from a sugar daddy) has won nothing during that time and to this day has a very mediocre fanbase.
 

The reality is that even if we lost every game 70-0 for the rest of the year, we will still have been the stand-out club of the season simply for staying up against almost all predictions, never mind being well in the play-off race come the start of the second half of the campaign (with the second best defence in the league).  I know you will never bring yourself to admit that, mind.

Mr Carter may not have lived up to expectation, but and I do not know the answer to this question,  if he and the other "clown" you refer to and I take that to be financial, would Wakefield still be in SL today, would Wakefield still be in existance.

That is an honest question, I honestly do not know.

Forget about the "other" clown.  Carter is the true antichrist, anyone else is collateral damage.

In answer to your question though, probably not.  

There may well be a totally new guy in charge shortly who will no doubt eventually become a "clown" by ruffling some prima donna's feathers, or not be as profligate as some fans yearn for or not sign a fans favourite player etc etc etc.   

Lets see how it pans out.

It was in response to Harry's quip from an earlier post, it was said tongue firmly in cheek.

Chill out and enjoy the rest of the season and the 70-0 batterings

Imagine if a money man did come in after all this time and it just so happens to be the season after Wakey are relegated and on the pitch performances the following season count for very little.

At least they've sorted some of their ground out after 25 years though.

Well as long as they don't get us relegated and deliver sheet show after sheet show without a win, anything is an improvement is it not.  If you are happy with Carters performance and a Chairman who has sat by and failed to restrain him then fair enough.

I'll be no happier than the four or five times we've been relegated previously under possibly four or five different Chairmen/Owners but happier than when the two previous Chairmen/Owners nearly killed us off completely.

Best of luck to the next Turkey.

What you've done this season is exceptional, but you're over egging the pudding a bit there. Sure, a few people were predicting Leigh to go back down, but the overwhelming majority thought it would be Wakefield.
