I remember after the victory over Bradford one chairman indicated if we had lost then he would have to reconsider staying on.

A blank canvas but, in the Championship, really doesn't sound great.

I agree about us accumulating a lot of dead wood.



There should be a huge incentive for any contracted players, as most would be unlikely to gain a SL contract elsewhere.

The fact that some actually believe that relegation is a positive just shows the mess made by the current incumbents. It is not and never will be a positive, I agree our performances over the last few seasons have been bad but who is to blame for that not the supporters. We had a good, possibly very good squad only a few seasons ago then for whatever reason (reducing expenditure) this was trimmed and players replaced by less quality and now less numbers. I suppose when you have such a personality in charge and taking on the director of rugby’s responsibilities he believes that he knows what the club needs added to by the fact that we have survived when all looks lost.

Honestly I always start agreeing with your post then you manage to throw a Carter dig in.



Relegation bad - I agree

Used to have a good squad - agree

Expenditure reduced - yes I agree

Replaced some with less capable players - yes but I'm pretty sure they didn't do it on purpose

Carter at fault - well I can't imagine he's signing players on his own. He sets the budget not the target list.

If we go down, the playing performance suddenly becomes a minor part of the requirements.

League position points come from an average over 3 seasons. So I guess its better to come top but that's a small fraction of a point.



The ground, social media, etc will be what gets us back.

Better to stay where we are if you want to see good rugby......or we'll see a possibly winning side going to Keighley for a long time.

It doesn’t sound great, but honestly ask yourself I can’t see us winning a game never mind actually staying up.

He didn’t need to take part in the playing part of the business, something he is completely unqualified for.

He still has to set the budget and agree contracts.

I don't know how it works but can you say he signed someone either Poching or Mash didn't want?

Don't know what wilzay's done, but I've followed Trinity for 67 years both home, and for most of that time away as well, and I agree with him entirely. does that not count to anything? I've probably put as much into the club as MC has done over the years. You're a relative "New boy"

It does count for something.....but really it just makes you (and me) really loyal customers.

The club needs you and should think about how to make you happy and keep you loyal, but it doesn't give you any decision making rights.



I've shopped at Asda for years but they never do what I ask them either.

He probably allowed some to leave that WP wanted to keep but maybe our new coach didn’t or was persuaded we didn’t need. I presume he was in charge of negotiations for contract renewal which I guess he considered a success for an accountant.

Probably...maybe....presume....guess



So you don't know.

No, but it doesn't stop you telling the manager of Asda that their butter is crap if that is what you think.

Indeed.

He might throw you out though if you don't do it in a polite way.
