..and like everybody else, I'm struggling to see how they'll explain the inept performances we saw last year or what Mr Duffy will get out of this.

Afterall, it isn't yours or my fault that we have a coach who

a) failed to motivate his squad
b) tactically masterminded our worst season for how many years
c) brought in poor signings and then awarded them with 3 year deals (Platt)
d) could only defend his poor tactical choices and game plans by blaming officials

or a club that

a) has failed to acknowledge last year as a failure
b) seems to have no interaction with fans apart from a fans forum

(This post is tongue in cheek btw, I will be at the fan forum and will also be getting my away shirt next week)

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

As you have done throughout RER. It will certainly be interesting to hear what they have to say.

Except I presume to you, since your mind is as closed a book on the subject of the Bulls as a book that has been nailed shut, superglued together and pressed under a ton of concrete. They could get Barack Obama, Billy Graham and Abe Lincoln to speak, it would make no difference to you, so what's the interest?

e) has turned year on year losses which would have lead to to the bankruptcy of the club into consecutive years of profit.

f) has turned around years of under investment in the youth system.

g) has reduced by almost half the clubs reliance on overseas players.

h) has resolved a disastrous legal dispute with Leeds Rhinos without losing any of our best young players.

i) Has finished in the play offs despite losing 2 out of the 3 best players in the country to our fiercest rivals.

There still remains the mystery of your temporary reform, some time just after the Quins away game IIRC. What happened there? Reminds me a bit of this, though I'm not sure why.

Consider you quoted him and when you do so it makes the small print quite readable, your defence carries no weight whatsoever.

TBH I am puzzled as to why the likes of you and your fellow club parrot (and anagram of you) FA are so obsessed. OK, I was prepared to cut the coach a bit of slack but the bigger picture just does not lead to believe that he is anything else but incapable of coaching our side competently. By all means copy this out toname and shame me at the fans forum (you too Mr Duffy) because there is no reason to suggest that we are going anywhere else but backwards under Steve McNamara.

His 2009 recruitment is questionable TBH and I just have no confidence in him whatsoever. As I have been saying for a while now, he will soon prove me 100% correct.
