Lets hope it doesn't beat any longest thread, because it'll be locked once things are sorted.

He has presented a plan for preparing a plan.

Mr Hood has said instead that there is no time to be lost, and that if the pledge fails its administration.

Yet the Caisley review will surely not be a five minute job?

Go figure?

Mr Caisley has not actually promised anything much. He has got people reading what they THINK he said, rather than what he ACTUALLY said, I suggest?


Absolutely. It is a very shrewd piece of PR from an extremely polished, well-versed operator.

The thing is, Chris Caisley hasn't just reacted now out of the goodness of his own heart to rectify the problems at the Bulls and save the club. Rather than being driven by passion for RL and Bradford, he seems to be driven largely by self-interest.

Caisley has been anticipating this moment for some time and planning his reaction for just such an occasion. Really, he has no more of a fixed plan about the way forward than the current board do but because he represents change, his words are being well received among a significant section of the fanbase. He left the club in a state of near disarray, slipping out the back door at just the right time, and has now spotted a chance to capitalise on the fallout and act as saviour.

Significant change is clearly needed at the club but is this the answer? Unless Caisley outlines clear plans about what he intends to do to rectify the current situation and lay down a structured framework for future survival and success, then clearly not. The last thing we need is to be sold more vague pipe dreams.

Is a man who places a winding up order on a club really someone who is acting in its best interests? Someone who can look at a situation objectively and suggest a way forward without bias or agenda?

I was not aware that Mr Caisley having apparently sought to wind up the club he professes to love was in the public domain?

That was why I specifically made no mention of it in anything I have posted hitherto.

But I was aware of it. And would very much have liked to have been able to say it, especially in the context of unexpected additional cash outflows that may or may not have contributed to the current situation.

I have only just come on the forum so apologies for the delay in commenting on this one (and Im only up to this one in case anybody has also commented as I do below)

Irrespective of Mr Agar's trade, which is irrelevant, I believe some people eat meat "down south", he is a great supporter of Bradford. I believe he currently has responsibility for the Academy / 20s teams and he is at ALL games home and away.

He has been involved a long time and was involved with the signing a young kiwi some of you may have heard of with a (new) double barrel surname.

Posted fyi


Amen to that brother :ROCKS: :ROCKS: :ROCKS:

Rolland Agar is the man to lead this club forward be that under Chris Caisley's consortium or from taking over from Peter Hood.

My question was merely a hypothetical one of course! I couldn't possibly comment one way or the other.

Just been reading some of the comments on the T&A article about Caisley. Can't believe the number of people making direct comparisons between the Caisley and Hood eras without any appreciation of the change of circumstances and who may have been responsible for them. Some people on there seem to think Caisley will simply wave a magic wand and you'll be winning trophies again with Noble at the helm.

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Anon.

Clucking bell, this gets more and more like LOTR every day .

Saruman has just shown his hand and employed his silken tongue, what you now need is Gandalf, a few hundred Rohirrim, an elf with a bow, a dwarf with a bl00dy big axe and a bloke with a broken sword. Shouldn't be too hard to find in our wonderful ethnic melting pot. Although an AK47 might be more realistic.

Really feel for you now, can't think of anyone in RL that I dislike more than Caisley.

Indeed - that is the problem with the rumour mill, in the absence of hard facts as is the case here and in quite a few other stories that do the rounds.

If it transpired that it was true, it would surely be something the club - or at least Mr Hood - would have wanted to have made public? I fear we may get to see quite a lot more rumour and innuendo flying around now :(

I thought Caisley's "bad guy" image was a myth created by bitter Keighley fans.

Or are we all in agreement now about him?
