We had a fairly well balanced viewpoint from Marc Green, who as you said was a bit on the defensive side which is quite understandable in the circumstances.
Carter on the other hand, didn't do his silly campaign against us any favours, for which I personally am quite happy about.
For example the amount they owed HMRC was in excess of £300k, and I assume the other £250k was to stave of the 9 CCJs, plus I understand Sir Rodney Walker loaned them cash.
Reported in a Wakefield paper last August>
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats were half-an-hour from becoming a Championship One club according to chairman Michael Carter.
In an exclusive interview with the Wakefield Express this week, Carter explains how close Trinity came to going into administration and falling out of Super League.
Looking back on the moment in August when he and director Chris Brereton took over at the club, Carter said: “We were half-an-hour from going into administration. Me and Chris were sat there at the point where we had to sign up to get a loan from the RFL and we both thought: ‘Are we going to do this or not?’ We believed what we could do at the club and we believed that we could take the loan and pay it back over the next 18 months but it was that close.
And previous report from Andrew Glover.
The Wildcats were faced with a winding-up petition from HM Revenue and Customs over an unpaid tax bill of more than £300,000 and their financial difficulties resurfaced recently when Glover revealed the club had been the subject of nine county court judgments.
Unquote:
Of course the putting up the Houses is a bit of a Red Herring, how is that anything to do with our appeal? When Carter has stated that they knew it could be paid off in 18 months. From the money coming into the club?
ie Full Sky money of £1.2 million per year, an extra £100k fromthe share out of Bulls sky package, plus of course the additional £300k from the pre Sky payment this year and a further £100k in July.
Grand total £1.7m !
Mr Carter I am not impressed with your assessment????
