| It seems very clear to me, Caisley's response is pretty much on the money (pardon the pun).
What is clear with Harrisgate, is that nobody, but CC, GH and very few others are privy to the precise details of both the compensation package, what was discussed between Hood and CC and subsequently agreed other parties. Even more clear, is that irrespective of that outcome, you cannot reflectively operate a business that is rear view mirror facing. It's akin to a divorcee blaming their ex hubby for their future.
The club was hamstrung, no question. Given that, all the more reason to change direction and take the club forward. As I have said many times, that doesn't require huge swathes of cash, simply inventiveness, commitment, common drive, energy the belief to take positive risks. We have played far too safe for far too long and simply whined about Caisley when it suits.
What is also evident is that we have solely concentrated on a recruitment programme at the expense of other elements of what is required to make a sports brand unique. And that recruitment has been woeful, absolutely abominable. No blame can be laid at CC's door for that or indeed anybody else's.
As for Sam and George, the club held their contracts and as such were in the box seat irrespective of any external influences. Hardly a new scenario given teams around the world deal with this daily. That we didn't procure a figure commensurate with their value, is our fault.
The club have forgotten the core building blocks of what projected them into the public psyche nationally.
There are two sides to every story and fair play to Chris Caisley for putting across his side in a pretty candid manner.
As for Reading Bullette, it doesn't require Professor Brian Cox to work out who that is.
As for for the lengthy list of questions to him, perhaps email him Adey directly c/o Walker Morris (his email isn't hard to find) or indeed pop into Leeds and ask him yourself. He may even surprise you with an answer. But then you won't do that.

| Quote: Roofaldo "But didn't feel the need to seek a public apology or retraction of the statements? You would have thought a solicitor would know how damaging such libellous comments could be to his good name and would seek to ensure the public record was corrected, wouldn't you?
I'm just saying, is all'"
Maybe he didn't want to take Hetherington on again so soon after his and the clubs massive step down over the Harris cock up!

| Meh, an imbalanced response to a load of imbalanced criticism.
As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between.

| Quote: Bullseye "Well I've been to Walker Morris to speak to CC before on Bulls matters. Maybe we should write to him and ask him what he thinks? Would make for an interesting exclusive on here...'"
Good idea. I think Adey's list of questions would keep him busy for an hour.

| Quote: af "Can answer one - Caisley flatly refuted Peacock's allegations when I interviewed him a few years ago.'"
There is a problem with the phrase "flatly refuted" though, as it sounds more like a simple denial rather than an actual refutation, which would require some sort of evidence, at the very least corroboration from a third party, perhaps, and not just saying it ain't so. As it stands it's one word against another.
