Disgusting,
A Johnny come lately compared with many who’ve supported or been involved with Trinity for 50 or 60 years longer than he has so who is he to preach that relegation is a good thing for the club!
I’m absolutely fuming at this statement, no wonder there’s no fight or desire when the CEO has said it’s OK to lose and see us drop a division.

He wasn’t around when we were a poor mid table 2nd Division team and he wasn’t there when we romped through the season as League Champions followed by being Crowned Grand Final Winners and he doesn’t know the struggle that people went through to defy the RFL & SLE to claim our rightful place in the top tier, a place hard earned on the training field and hard won on match days. He certainly doesn’t know how that team bonded with the fans to create an amazing experience throughout the season with Fuller, Casey, Bostock, Southernwood, Hughes, Fisher etc singing “ I know what and who I am” with the fans.

That he should so meekly and feebly accept relegation without an ounce of effort or a semblance of backbone is sickening!

Just go Carter and let someone with a bit of pride and fight take over!

I heard a very good description once of Carter. A bloke playing fantasy super league manager with a real life team. The bloke came as an accountant and openly admitted he knew nothing about rugby. A few years later he is making all the rugby decisions. He has totally trashed the squad and left us with the worst bunch of players we have ever had in SL. Then he comes out with the relegation statements. Well if he had kept his nose out and employed a good director of rugby who actually knew what he was doing, then relegation would not be an issue.

But but but he saved the club 10 years ago apparently?

A little verse about who's to blame
White flag Carter is his name
No guts no bottle no will to fight
A man who thinks he's always right
The fans think you no longer belong
This time Michael you got it wrong
So take your money and be on your way
Cos relegation is not okay

I’m trying not to fall out with you PB but we’re you not best mates with a previous chairman that left this club destitute and had even less on field success that Carter. Just a thought.

The point is PB, there wouldn’t be a book left, to write the new Chapters, had it not been for Michael Carter.
When he’s goes, I hope you’ll and all the others who have criticised him beyond reason, will now support John Minards, he’s played a big big role in getting the stadium redeveloped, and will take us forward, he’s has red white and blue in him more than some on here.
