Looks like a genuine cock-up. Problem is things like this in troubled times can get players in the frame of mind that "why should I give 100% when I might not get paid for it."



Even if we get the ground we aren't endearing ourselves to the RFL.

The main issue here is, this question.



Which is the only club in Super League, Championship, Championship 1 & 2, National Conference, Saturday League, Sunday Pub Team League who recently has had to publish news on their website in response to stories about having to fight off both a tax man attack and a players not been paid story ?



The Answer.... Wakefield Trinity Wildcats



The club which is still dreaming of a SL franchise next year and dreaming of a new ground by 2095.



To put it simple... the stories dont exactly fill the average supporter with much confidence over the clubs immeduiate future... do they ?

He could do nothing with The Sun, I think I admitted that, but his experience and contacts can help get more positive stories in other outlets than perhaps others can.



Mud sticks, again. I guess no-one can sort it out. Even that Chloe girl gets better publicity than we do…



Obviously I need to be friends with players on Facebook to get gossip these days too!

When I ran my own business the first thing that you realise is that the 1st priorityis to make sure that money is put aside every month for the Inland Revenue and the 2nd priority is that there is enough money to pay your employees on the correct date of the month.

All very well, but when you get a tax bill on top of the regular tax bill it becomes a problem so unless you have huge profits or a wealthy benefactor you negotiate with HMRC a plan to pay off the debt. Also the lack of player payment was a technical difficulty rather than a fiscal one.

The money was there all along. These things are never just black and white, but merely shades of grey!

Maybe the players are on performance related pay?

Bloody well should be, then we'd have plenty of money to spare!!

Why the hell would Geoff Burrow, the players union ( gmb ) chief go running to The Sun telling tales, surely a man in his position should not behave in such a immature, pathetic, irresponsible manner. I hope the club are in contact with his boss as his actions must be a gross misdemeanour. I would be in direct contact with the lawyers and looking to sue. Also should the players be running to their union with such indecent haste ( paid two days late ).
