After the Community Trust issue with RW I don't want him anywhere near our stadium plans.
So who’s paying then. I never get this attitude, it’s real cut your nose off to spite your face stuff.
Give us an alternative please I think you owe us that much. Or tell us why you think it’s right that our club dies because you just don’t like RW.
RW is a bit like Boris, he’s no bigger liar than most of them, he’s just a bad liar who got caught. That said has anyone got Rodney’s side of the story? No, thought not.
There are two issues here. 1. Did RW scupper NM with his actions. Imo yes but only in the short term. In the long term NM was never going to happen and that was decided by two individuals long before RW came along, we just didn’t know it. It certainly robbed us of some leaverage but again I really don’t think it would have mattered in the end.
2. Are we all really so naive that we don’t think we will need to deal with the RW,s of this world. We shouldn’t have to because the NM fiasco shouldn’t have happened but it did. Now we are swimming in a sea of sharks and to survive that you need a few sharks of your own.
The latter to me is RW. I don’t like it, I don’t think it’s right that we are where we are. There is only one victim here, that’s the Ratepayer pure and simple. Nobody seems willing to stand up for us in any meaningful way. We have no choice.
As for MC and JM they are in a hugely difficult position with at least one hand tied behind there back. Remember, to us Trinity is an institution, a mission, a belief but to the rest it’s just a business and not an especially attractive one. Our BOD have very limited ability to play the moral card before they quickly start to look like businessmen looking to get money for nothing. It’s not like that but not more than 10% of Wakefield’s population will ever accept that.
If RW is involved so be it, the time for hot air and semantics is over, we need real movers and shakers and like it or not they don’t tend to be nice and squeaky clean. Tragic I know but we are where we are and if we are not careful we will soon be where Bradford and Oldham and other past greats are.
He who dares wins Rodney, sorry couldn’t resist
