don't talk out your ring piece.

You couldn't be further from the truth.

Dave@Trin2013 - Although you say you don't think we can be choosey, I think we have to be exactly that. If we are to let players go that are in my opinion good players, we need to replace with good players, otherwise take the cash and invest in the youth we already have.

If Aiton has to go so be it. Cash it is.

If Cockayne goes, I'm happy with a £30k fee.

If Poore goes he is much harder to replace and we shouldn't be looking for average players to do that. I'd rather go witha weaker front row that is all potential and local than generally average players that will not help us (obviously I'm making a personal judgement on the names being talked about)

Some of the rumours of current squad benefits and contract deals need to be cleaned up in my opinion.

The likes of Smith, Mathers and Poore and others seem to get lots of extra benefits that are more than they would get elsewhere.

I'm happy for them to be paid well but cars and flights etc are too much, and they will know that.

I think they ought to be giving something back to Wakefield for this year if they want to stay, or move on and let us balance the books.



I'm not saying they have done anything wrong, and I'm only going on rumours but any other business would work on bonuses for the extras, and not standard contract. And if profits are not coming in, the bonuses should reflect that.

In that case, pay up and move on

The cynic in me wonders about a third possibility. if 'we' think you might not make it and he'll become available for free.



I [uhope[/u your club can get everything sorted and that isn't the case, but it's the way of things, I'm afraid.



My [uguess[/u is that Lovegrove will choose to stay at Rovers. We might though pay a small fee for Poore, as it is rumoured we've parted ways with Tuimavave. The Cockayne thing is bemusing to me on an increasing number of levels, so I really haven't a clue on that.

Yes because a club with money worries pays a fee to tie up a loan deal obviously

Just a scenario here...What if Rovers want Poore but not quite on his current salary? He won't want to take a pay cut & Wakefield won't be prepared to subsidise the move but if the shortfall is broadly similar to any transfer fee I'm sure a deal could be done. You'd effectively be letting him go for free but getting rid of his wages. Possibility?

I thought it was your round

if you care to take ten minutes to read the twelve words I wrote, I said it was rumoured. Not what I believed, not what I hoped... There were rumours, terms haven't been agreed... I was highlighting a possible link between the two. As a moderator, I'm sure I don't have to inform you that this is actually a forum



So you can lower the drawbridge and stop being so moody and defensive about it.

You said this.

We have paid a fee for a loan so it's obvious we can afford a fee, The last 10 words of the quote above clearly means you are giving this rumour far more credence than you should.

didn't give it any level of credence - I just threw it out there. You're getting far too defensive about very little



I;ve no idea of HKR's financial affairs, only the odd rumour which I never claimed to hold any water
