Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "WTF is "giving primacy of status" anyway? And I'm all for brave talk, but it's a bit Black Knightesque, isn't it, to genuinely try to claim that we are at the moment anywhere near "equal in status" to Leeds? SL Champions versus club just out of administration that hasn't even made the playoffs in several seasons?'"
There's no need for brave talk, in the same way that in the run up to a season ticket deadline there's no need for 3 articles about the Leeds Rhinos. Nobody's trying to make the case that we're of equal status to the Rhinos I just don't think it's the job of the club and the local paper to repeatedly make the case that we're not.
More to the point what is the benefit of it? Lulia was staying at Bradford yesterday morning and he's staying at Bradford now. All that's been done is raise the issue of him being wanted by a bigger, more successful club.
Just to add further context less than a fortnight after FC and Stuart Duffy went to visit GH to learn about dealing with agents and negotiating with players, Hetherington makes a bid for one of our best players.
Even, “Leeds made an approach through the correct channels".
It's not Black Knightesque, it's borderline obsequious.
