dont understand why he instigated all the disruption on our club if he didnt have a plan for the rescue many thought he was about to initiate.his shares have become worhless, i presume ,so why would he do that? or maybe we still havent heard the last from him.if he still has ambitions on taking control not sure how that would be received by the supporters or sponsors. he has ripped the club apart for no obvious reason other than his dislike of hood.
really hope it can be sorted soon.one more question.who runs SLE?

Quote: Adeybull "What caused this "vitriolic negativity", in your view?'"


Quote: Adeybull "Caisley was fantastic for Northern and then the Bulls. He led a revolution, and he deserves full credit for the achievement, not least for his driving ambition for the club and for Superleague in general. It sickens me that we are now instead talking about him as the guy who, we must believe with the best of motives, intervened in a dire situation and only made it even worse.'"


Your second statement is why I find it hard to answer your first.

The extent of my communication with Caisley has been a solitary email around 2001 where he gave me grief for something I posted on the old, official Bulls forum. I know you've mentioned in the past that you've met him and found him to be brash and abrasive. As such, I'd bow down to your greater knowledge of the guy, his motives and his personality, not to mention a far greater understanding of the inner workings of business and the boardroom (I've just sent my first set of accounts to HMRC - that was one seriously harrowing experience!) yet inspite of this I find it hard to believe that a person can spend 10 years in office throughout the clubs most successful period and then throw all that away in a ing contest with another board member.

I know the guy was hard to work with, could be pig headed and maybe wasn't the most astute business person Bradford will ever see, but like players I sometimes think we forget that administrators (as in people who would typically run the club and not those who may be about to liquidate it) are humans and not just names on a team sheet or year end report. There's no doubt in my mind that Chris (so named to drive home the point) would have sat down with his peers (probably his friends and family) and made a decision that was best for all the above and hopefully the club. If it turns out that he made the wrong call that should, IMO, be considered separately to his motives.

Cant say I've ever liked the bloke and the Harris signing was undoubtedy a calamity. But he does deserve credit for Bullmania and the success it brought.

Bradford gave us Hockney, Leeds gave us Moyles.:731.jpg



Those of us that were there will remember him walking out with the Bulls flag at the Don Valley and being cheered to the rafters.

He's the Bradford Macbeth.

Quote: Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza "Sorry but as soon as P & A were announced as carrying out "the financial review" we were going into administration come what may.

He allowed it to get to a state where the board didn't have a monthly review with the major shareholders for 2 years? Sorry the bloke is as much to blame as anyone else and I aren't swallowing the crap being fed to us.

Like I said hopefully that's the end of Coulby, Caisley, Hood, etc. being involved with the club.'"


I think it's likely you're right that administration was going to happen but the difference between an administration where Caisley thought he'd have control of the outcome and the unholy mess we've got now is the bit I think he didn't expect.
All the major shareholders and board members have been complicit in allowing this to happen, either by their action or inaction, and none of them should ever come anywhere near the club again.

Let's all concentrate on what we are going to do in the immediate future to try and save the club rather than reliving the past . All the mistakes made, who made them and how much of our current predicament was caused by any particular decision is interesting but does not help secure a future for league in Bradford.
