Mr Studd is not confused- he just likes stirring . He 's one of the few people who is able to convey a sense of sarcastic smirking merely using his voice. His default mode seems to be cynical enjoyment of the problems other people or organisations face.
Studd is becoming more and more a professional contrarian, especially on Twitter and can be patronising in the extreme if you dare to question him. He has a column in Forty/20 mag where he discussed the Bulls last month and some of the same themes came up. To be fair some of the article is hard to disagree with, although it was mainly listing our failures. However the only real argument he had was “it couldn’t have been worse under fan ownership” – not sure what sort of argument that is really. Sure we raised a lot of money quickly, but not all of this was from just Bradford fans and he never questions if the apatite was there for the fans to own the club. IMO it wasn’t in 2012 (Hmm try and save the existing club in SL or try and go it alone as fans in League 1 as he suggested. Tough one that Rod) and it isn’t now either. The question isn’t it couldn’t have been much worse, but I can’t imagine it being any better either.
Studd would do well in modern politics, he comes up with crazy ideas with the flimsiest of evidence and then it’s up to everyone else to disprove him. He got a bee in his bonnet about the Bulls losing against Leigh at the Blackpool weekend and said he hoped it wouldn’t come back to bite us if we didn’t make the top four – as it made the fixture list unbalanced. He made a gleeful post when we lost to Fev that he was right all along, until I pointed out that Fev also lost at the bash so it made no difference to the Bulls at all. He quickly deleted his post and never mentioned it again.
I unfollowed him recently and my life suddenly has a lot less anger in it.
