Quote: G1 "Yes the Bulls are a perfect example of how you can take your eye off the ball on the field whilst investing in a modern, new stadium and facilities. A perfect example.'"
You raised the possibility of a near future Leeds coach having to work within a budget. I presume that budget would be less than the full cap spend allowed now, otherwise your budget point would be meaningless. Marry that restriction to anything less than a quality coach (as Bradford did in McNamara) and you are inviting a likely decline in fortunes on the field which will then likely as not be reflected on the terraces.
That was the context of the comparison made with Bradford, nothing whatsoever to do with Stadium re-development although as Gilder correctly points out the crumbling edifice of Odsal is a financial drain at the Bulls.

That wasn't what Brian Carney was intimating on Boots 'N All this week where figures in the region of 55 to 60% appeared to be tripping off his tongue quite readily.
Peter Hood was asked but declined to comment other than to say mounting/defending a legal action would obviously have an impact on the club's finances in the recent past.
I'll await Adey's or Bullseye's input on the subject. Hopefully not Gleadhills though as that is unlikely to inform the debate
