| I'm not one of those constantly saying that 'the club should make a statement, but I do wonder whether the complete lack of any information from the club isn't helping. Lack of information creates a vacuum, especially in our social media / instant news culture, that some are only to happy to fill with rumour and speculation. It's not just Mick, by any means, who gets sucked into filling the vacuum.
Over the past few months we've had a whole series of worrying things happening at the Bulls, and very little information about steps being taken to address them. It all started imo, with the departure of Rob Parker, who (unless I missed the memo) wasn't replaced. He's been followed out of the door by Steve Ferres and, now, (temporarily? who knows?) Robbie Paul. So far as I can see we are now down to the skeleton staff that we had during one of our Admin periods i.e Stuart Duffy doing everything! Added to which we have the curious case of our owner / chairman taking an extended foreign holiday during the season. And thats before we even start on Winding Up Petitions, HMRC, the abject failure to make the Top 4, wages not being paid, people allegedly refusing to play etc etc
Is it any wonder that speculation rises? I'm not expecting the club to feel they have to make daily statements for assuage the fans. But, come on, Marc Green is the guy that came into the club saying that he was an honest, straight forward guy who was going to totally transparent and open. Perhaps a bit more information would be a reasonable expectation?

Think it's generally known as, "mission creep" - and in this case one of the 'messengers' turning into the message..

| Quote: Smack him Jimmy "The day I found BCB existed was like a huge burden being lifted off my back.
Because if I cant get to a game I used to have to listen to radio Leeds and any radio station that has got the word "scum" in its title isn't worth listening to.
And they ironically refer to them selves as west yorkshire sport - when they dont even commentate on the majority of clubs outside the suburb of headingly.
BCB commentary is a good laugh.
Hobbo has a typical Yorkshireman attitude - he calls it like he sees it.
Mick gives a good balance.
I dont follow twitter cos I've got a life. If you believe everything written or said in the media you obviously dont understand what the media is for. Call it propoganda or call it the rumour mill - its purpose is to stir up debate, so its clearly working.
Talking about the announcement I heard we are signing a world class player who will deliver first class performance ..........................no wait a minute.........sorry, must have misheard......we are actually signing a world class darts player who delivers first class proformas'"
Cheers and thanks for listening. Me and Hobbo appreciate your kind comments.
Do you have a name? I don't think I can say 'Smack him Jimmy' ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| Quote: Stul "The thing that is making me chuckle is Mick accusing people of being anti Ross/Mick - as if the two are indistinguishable.
One is a professional journalist and reports stories. The other has been banned from TRL twice because he couldn't stop accusing referees of being cheats and spreads rumours when he hears half a story.
They are not the same things at all.'"
Of course we're not the same things.
Ross is written journalism and I'm broadcast journalism.
