The likes of Agar, Tasker and Noble are the types of people I'd want helping move the club forward from where we are at the moment.

Caisley? Not so much, but if he is the man bringing them together then so be it, we also have to remember that prior to the mess that the Ietsyn Harris case turned out to be and the legacy of the way the Odsal settlement was spent the club had gone places under his leadership.

I've seen a few comments about losing goodwill because Caisley rubbed people up the wrong way and offended people, that's undoubtedly ture, but only because he was in charge of a club doing well. Hood has made similarly ridiculous comments to the press (suing the RFL, demanding two points because of a refereeing error) but is just thought of as a laughing stock by the rest of the game for it, if the Bulls had achieved anything on the pitch under his watch he'd be on the way to the same kind of unpopularity Caisley has.

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.

Bugger that for a game of soldiers.

I want whatever hardware the Valar used to give the good citizens of Numenor a chance for a spot of swimming. THEN the buggers will learn what having a bad day REALLY means...

He was also active in wanting financially troubled clubs thrown out of the league, not just in running a succesful club.

I think this perhaps sums up best how I feel about the whole situation to be perfectly honest.

Well said, especially re: Hood and Caisley and popularity. Caisley had a smack of the Man United's about him; he was in charge of a club doing well, who everyone loathes and wants to be.

Id like to think that we could see a chairmanship in the style of Newcastle United. Everyone hates the owner, and he put the club up for sale, Yet he continued to back the club and look at them now, even though he makes very unpopular decisions, its always percieved to be in the best interst of the club ie. Sports direct arena?!

I loathed him.

Still do.

I never wanted to be him.

The reports I heard back from meetings during the SL formation debacle were very enlightening.

I used to talk to a former chairman of Widnes. He loathed and despised Mr Caisley for what happened to Widnes. He made it clear that it was pretty well open warfare with Caisley And Lindsay after that.

But it only 'went places' because money was being spent that wasn't there. I could travel the world on my credit card but would eventually face the consequences.

What's the point in 'going places' if your ultimate destination is bankruptcy and chaos.

Caisley rubbed people up the wrong way and offended them because he was arrogant and offensive. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just because he throws a few names into a conversation with the T&A does not make him a legitimate option for leadership of the club.
