So, that's practically the whole of the core Bulls support, and many people from outside the club, including Steve O'Connor. Nice one.


Or, the direct quote you replied to was thisBradford Badger wrote
BB was obviously talking about, and only about, people who pledged and paid. Therefore, so were you, unless despite quoting that comment, you weren't talking about pledgers, but about hypothetical persons who for unspecified reasons might give money to Hood.

In fact, we got what it said on the tin. We stopped the club from closing the doors. If we had not been "daft enough" to do so, then the club wouldn't even be here for you to pen your poisonous comments about.

And as Adey says, no-one will now ever know what would have happened without CC's last minute intervention and call for EGM.


Act, yes. The issue is, act in what way. One option would have been for all to temporarily bury their grievances and differences, and get around a table to solve the crisis. So far as we have been told, that did not happen, indeed it seems the two camps simply refuse to meet. If I had been CC, that's what I'd have been looking to do. And that's also looking further back than just recent weeks; Coulby suggested there'd been no dialogue for at least 2 years.


I'd sadly agree with that. When I heard indications of our total capitulation and the breathtaking numbers involved, it was obvious to me and still is that these numbers were too much for us to cope with. And the weird statement that the payments were "covered by the Sky money" is sheer bravado, but bollox. Like being fined £25K, but saying to the wife, "Don't worry love, it's covered by my wage".

It would surely have been better to fight on, and I remain of the same view that we had a decent chance. The arguments ranged at my view at the time was that we [ihad[/i to settle, because if we lost, it would bankrupt the club, and that was a gamble we couldn't take.

Can anyone now see the flaw in that logic, albeit with hindsight? Now we may have the worst of all worlds. We may go down the tubes, yet Leeds have all our money.

Well Panto season as started early, Billy Pearce to play Peter Hood, Brian Rix to play Caisley (why him? cause his trousers were always falling down)

If there are investors or sponsors out there with even a small number of working brain cells then they will take one look at all these unedifying exchanges between our shareholders and promptly close their cheque books.
Both parties claim to have the interests of the club at heart - but putting aside all past actual or alledged mistakes - this continuing conflict really could deliver the last rights to the club.
You might be able to re-write history, or spin it but you certainly cannot change it - the only thing the BoD, the club and maybe even the long suffering fans can do is influence the future

Agree with your thoughts what the investors might think - sad but unfortunately true.

As for history; well it's usually written by the winners - until the revisionists come along. Revisionism is often derided, and the word used as a pejorative, but in truth the original history (the one written by the winners) isn't necessarily an accurate reflection of what went on either.

How can anyone make even an attempt at a rational dicussion when petty politis are being played out? the new board have to stop messing about and tell us what they are going to do.

Not much business, of any kind, is done in the open, Julie. Most of it goes on behind closed doors (or out on the golf course ) and well out of the limelight, so I wouldn't expect to hear very much, one way or the other, until things are actually sorted. Even then I wouldn't expect much detail.

That said I get the very distinct impression that there is some 'seeding' going on on the boards; possibly from both sides but certainly from the new board. There seems to be stream of either new, or very irregular, posters coming on to deride any speculation they're not happy with, and to post 'exclusive' news snippets, on which we, apparently, must "just trust them".

I've supported the club for many years, and in all truth I don't give a tinker's cuss who is sitting in the director's box, but I'm losing faith with all of them right now.
