Quote ="alegend"Just one small comment about Poching , 42% record win record and we get rid ,to put a youth coach in who was way out of is depth .Do not think you fit into the fans of !!!we can not get rid of Applegarth he is Wakefield through and through !! but got to change it, like top teams if coach , players are not up to the job they get rid and it does not depend on weather they come through the youth team,or been there one year or 10 .If we do not we will never move forward .'"
The 42% win record only exists if you factor in the run at the end of the season that, by all accounts at the time, had little to do with him.
Finance is behind everything. We can't afford a good coach because they cost money. So, we end up with a substandard coach who we then can't get rid of, because we can't afford to pay them off, to then recruit another even cheaper coach (as we've spent the coaching budget on getting rid of the old one). A vicious cycle and our relegation has been coming for years, a slow death, with Yorkcourt refusing us the medicine we needed.
