For anyone wondering why ME has been so quiet for ages, but now all of a sudden is extremely vocal again, these two little gems might give an insight into his character and motivesdo you actually think that I am surprised or particularly bothered that we are bottom of the table?'"


Quote: Mystic Eddie " The main reason I seem to take glee in a Bradford loss is because it annoys the likes of you and your merry men who hate the fact that I have a right good point about McNamara. '"


Funnily enough, what “me and my merry men” take issue with ME over is not that “he has a right good point about McNamara”, but that (firstly) he has relentlessly pursued his single-issue total obsession on here without ever acknowledging any of the practical considerations and consequences others have raised and (secondly) that he seems to positively revel in and take pleasure from the Bulls’ misfortunes because – in his own strange mind at least – it makes him think everyone will finally see the Mystic Messiah was right.

What makes it all the more sad is that, to the best of my recollection, none of “me and my merry men” have ever said McNamara is the best coach we could have and that no-one could do any better. All we are effectively charged with in ME’s eyes is having the temerity to point out the implications of sacking the coach before his contract is concluded, and having the temerity to question ME’s motives for his obsessive campaign,

Pretty well everyone on here is expressing their views on the coaching situation borne out of frustration and bitter disappointment. And, for the record, I both respect them for expressing their views and strongly defend their right to express them. And that includes the latest iteration of “Our Friend” who has contributed much of interest and relevance, and with some passion, to the discussion. The one person who I will not say that about is ME, since I say he has simply taken advantage of the current situation to continue pedaling his single issue obsession. Any fool can do that, and it’s not clever; just sad.

Quote: Adeybull "I think most of the other contributors will have formed their own view about that anyway af, but I'm sure ME will be happy to prove to one and all that he is indeed good for his promises by donating the £20 he forgot about to Bullbuilder as soon as it is fully up and running.'"


I will happily donate twice the amount I was gonna sponsor Debaser in the first place as I have no interest in participating to something that you are involved in TBH.

Quote: Adeybull "more obsessiveness..'"


I really get to you, don't I?

Shame for you I do not give in to your bullying tactics.

For the record, I am not that bothered that we are bottom of the table because it will hasten the departure of the man that put us there.

Good. Maybe you will now bugger off and leave me in peace now or find someone else to bully.

Im not here to gloat(we've got nothing to gloat about) , but what sent the bulls in to the postion they are at the moment?

Money? coach? players? the board? other?

The bulls was what super league was all about! It was a great away day at bradford, the place was buzzing.

On the field the bulls was power, size, speed and played good rugby.

It's a serious question, what went wrong?

Ask Chris Caisley

1. Everyone else caught up, both on and off the field
2. Money.

Clubs like St Helens had the good fortune to become owned by a very wealthy individual fan. In the case of St Helens, you were doubly blessed in that owner also being a very capable and shrewd businessman, as indeed were several other clubs (such as Huddersfield) similarly blessed.

Bradford, alone amongst the early heavyweights, did not.

Other clubs could, and can, spend well beyond their means. Just have a look at the latest published accounts of nearly all of them. Bulls cannot.

Then of course we had the disastrous and ruinous signing of Harris, and the dreadful and enduring financial consequences. As Ewen succinctly answered, ask Chris Caisley.

The difference between Leeds and ourselves is they have a coach that knows how to get his team firing when things aren't working out.

I've kept out of this debate for a long time after making my thoughts perfectly clear. It's now time to add my piece. What has been learnt from last season not much by the looks of it. Its mistakes poor takling anda Under 11's game plan all over again.
