Quote: Adeybull "Mr Caisley has not presented any plan.
He has presented a plan for preparing a plan.
Mr Hood has said instead that there is no time to be lost, and that if the pledge fails its administration.
Yet the Caisley review will surely not be a five minute job?
Go figure?
Mr Caisley has not actually promised anything much. He has got people reading what they THINK he said, rather than what he ACTUALLY said, I suggest?'"
Absolutely. It is a very shrewd piece of PR from an extremely polished, well-versed operator.
The thing is, Chris Caisley hasn't just reacted now out of the goodness of his own heart to rectify the problems at the Bulls and save the club. Rather than being driven by passion for RL and Bradford, he seems to be driven largely by self-interest.
Caisley has been anticipating this moment for some time and planning his reaction for just such an occasion. Really, he has no more of a fixed plan about the way forward than the current board do but because he represents change, his words are being well received among a significant section of the fanbase. He left the club in a state of near disarray, slipping out the back door at just the right time, and has now spotted a chance to capitalise on the fallout and act as saviour.
Significant change is clearly needed at the club but is this the answer? Unless Caisley outlines clear plans about what he intends to do to rectify the current situation and lay down a structured framework for future survival and success, then clearly not. The last thing we need is to be sold more vague pipe dreams.
Is a man who places a winding up order on a club really someone who is acting in its best interests? Someone who can look at a situation objectively and suggest a way forward without bias or agenda?
