Time for RFL to say "enough is enough" ? : Sun Feb 02, 2014 12:10 am  
How long can the bulls comedy show go on - lurching from one crisis to another ?

Surely the fans deserve better than being owned by a succession of "ten bob millionaires", none of which appear to have the credibility or financial acumen.

Seriously though, and I mean SERIOUSLY - with the new league structure from 205 wouldn't this be a great chance to dip out and consolidate ?
Worse things happened in the early 60's and the club came back stronger. It seemed bad at the time when the club ceased to exist but it gave a clean fresh start. Could the same thing happen again ?

A decent Bradford team is good for the game, but that doesn't exist as it stands.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the existing thread on this subject. Where I suggest his (not unreasonable) points are addressed?

Nothing wrong with the team as it stands! The issue has been with those who have been running the club over recent years.

If the new board is allowed to get on with the job (and they DO have the financial acumen, btw - I have seen it with my own eyes - so has Paul Medley, as he told the BullBuilder meeting on Wednesday) - then I do not expect there will be any future crises. Or any lurching. That is how it looks to me right now, at least. Give these guys a fair go, eh?

Of course, if folk are just out for revenge for perceived wrongs, or want to see fans, players and club generally punished hard for the antics of their various club owners such that it would likely drive the club out of existence, well that is down to them.

:IDEA: Time for posters thinking of starting new threads on existing topics to think "enough is enough"?

head in the stand response from 2 posters above

a) it's not our fault
b) everyone is just picking on us

I was actually trying to draw a POSITIVE parallel with the 1963 situation, and am disappointed to receive the sulky responses.

The phrase is head in the SAND and I don't think anyone does have. That doesn't mean, however, that you're special enough to have your own thread on the topic when we've plenty already started that address the points you've made, assuming you're not too lazy to go read

Nope, can't understand why the mods would have culled the sulky responses, I mean, they let go posts which are way beyond being a bit 'sulky'.

Guess we'll have to make do with the reasonable, measured responses from Adey and FA....

Nothing whatsoever sulky or head in the sand in my post. Merely referring you to the existing thread where this issue is already being debated ad nauseum. And where you will see this action looks to have been taken precisely to STOP the bulls comedy, as you call it (tragic comedy more like?) from going on any longer.

On that thread, you should also see that the two posters you just attacked are anything but what you suggest. I am sure there are plenty of other adjectives some would ( and do!) use to describe FA and myself - some of which sadly are probably warranted - but I doubt head in the sand or sulky would be among them?

By the way, you said that a decent Bradford TEAM does not exist as it stands. If you had said instead CLUB, or better CLUB OWNERSHIP, few would have disagreed. It is to try and fix this that I hope is the reason why this has all happened.

Keep this thread open for mentalists and let the grown ups use the other thread.

Can someone let Wooden Stand know that this one is here.
