Richardson to stay on at Wakefield
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ted Richardson will survive as Wakefield chairman despite financial difficulties that could have led to a ban.
He entered into an Individual Voluntary Arrangement last week over a failed property deal but the Rugby League is unlikely to use discretionary powers to oust him.
Fortunately for Wildcats, they do not rely on Richardson's investment and their bid to retain a Super League licence should be unharmed.
However, the Championship One promotion candidates, Blackpool Panthers, could lose league points if they are found to have breached their salary cap by an RFL inquiry.
Elsewhere, Francis Cummins and Willie Poching have announced their intention to leave Leeds' coaching staff at the end of this season.
