Id like to think that we could see a chairmanship in the style of Newcastle United. Everyone hates the owner, and he put the club up for sale, Yet he continued to back the club and look at them now, even though he makes very unpopular decisions, its always percieved to be in the best interst of the club ie. Sports direct arena?!

I loathed him.
Still do.
I never wanted to be him.
The reports I heard back from meetings during the SL formation debacle were very enlightening. |

| Quote Asim="Asim"The likes of Agar, Tasker and Noble are the types of people I'd want helping move the club forward from where we are at the moment.
Caisley? Not so much, but if he is the man bringing them together then so be it, we also have to remember that prior to the mess that the Ietsyn Harris case turned out to be and the legacy of the way the Odsal settlement was spent the club had gone places under his leadership.
I've seen a few comments about losing goodwill because Caisley rubbed people up the wrong way and offended people, that's undoubtedly ture, but only because he was in charge of a club doing well. Hood has made similarly ridiculous comments to the press (suing the RFL, demanding two points because of a refereeing error) but is just thought of as a laughing stock by the rest of the game for it, if the Bulls had achieved anything on the pitch under his watch he'd be on the way to the same kind of unpopularity Caisley has.'"
This.

I used to talk to a former chairman of Widnes. He loathed and despised Mr Caisley for what happened to Widnes. He made it clear that it was pretty well open warfare with Caisley And Lindsay after that. |

But it only 'went places' because money was being spent that wasn't there. I could travel the world on my credit card but would eventually face the consequences.
What's the point in 'going places' if your ultimate destination is bankruptcy and chaos.
Caisley rubbed people up the wrong way and offended them because he was arrogant and offensive. Nothing more, nothing less.
Just because he throws a few names into a conversation with the T&A does not make him a legitimate option for leadership of the club. |

Indeed, don't get me wrong, he isn't a person I particularly like or have any fondness for.
I am not saying that we simply forget the errors he made at, and moving towards, the end of his time but, for the most part he led a progressive, successful regime. I am not denying or forgetting that if he hadn't squandered the Odsal settlement windfall or signed Harris to spite Hetherington we'd probably in great financial health now.

If these "few names" have agreed to work with him it very much does make him a legitimate option when these people have knowledge, experience and expertise that is sadly lacking and very necessary in the club's current predicament. |

He certainly rubbed the fans up the wrong way on frequent occasions. Not least for keep berating them for not turning out in bigger numbers. He specifically blamed the fans in the (I think it was ) 2004 annual report, with a quite damning attack. When I get home I can post it up on here.
He also attacked fans for watching the games on Sky rather than coming to the ground (I helped Bullseye write the BISA press release in response to that one so I remember it well).
Examples.

I hope they pointed out - strongly - the irony of this public money being spent to sponsor the dark side instead.
