Hope Wakey can get through this. I know that this may be irrelevant but have they had/getting a points deduction like Crusaders? If so, this would not help as getting a playoff position would help them financially.
this is the reality for Wakjefield from the people who are in cahrge of the club. they are actively trying to sell players to stop Wakefield going from Administration to extinction.
Quote:O’Hara said the sale of players could be avoided if a take-over was completed – and he admitted the decision of a previous prospective owner – Steve Parkin – not to go ahead had contributed to the departures of Obst and Ferguson.
He stressed: “I have got to get the best possible price.
“I have no wish to decimate the club.
“If Mr Glover had conducted himself professionally, or a deal had been done with Mr Parkin when we came out of court on Friday, he could kept who he wanted and done what he wanted.
“He (Glover) has not told me who he wants to keep and who he wants to go. There’s over 30 people on the pay role, non-playing people – at enormous cost.
“And at the moment I still don’t know what the players are entitled to, in terms of bonuses.
“Nobody has come up with any money at all.
“At the moment costs are clocking up and wages have got to be found from somewhere, let alone finding any money for creditors.
“If players go that reduces the wage bill, which has been the basis of the club’s demise.
“If I don’t make these cuts, whoever buys it is going to have to have deep pockets.”
at the minute it looks like O'haras are trying to save the club with the RFL because no one else can

That can't be possible can it? The RFL have it in for Wakey don't they?
BTW in case anyone is interested I do feel for the Wakey fans but some of them seem to have become so fixated on the whole RFL=BAD idea that they just can't see it.

Absolutely awful.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Yes, it's a real shame for Wakefield's fans (at least). Dark times for them.
O'Hara's are damned if they do & damned if they don't, so if you get a load of vultures howering around, picking over the bones, then they have no option.

Wonder who will be next to go from Wakey ? Starting to seem pretty much nailed on who isn't going to get a franchise now then, doesn't it ?

Can we please just talk about the problems Wakefield are facing? ta.

Quite right. Have some feeling for Kear who dislocated 2 fingers when some amatuer backroom staff member forgot to put down his rubberised mouse mats where he drums his fingers!

Liking this new style. Like a teacher. Authoritative.
