When all along the writing was on the wall.

A clear out top to toe with a new board etc is the only way to try win back a bit of support and confidence in the club.

Including Duffy..'"


It's simple, everyone needs to go, clear out all the deadwood. Especially Duffy after his threatening letters after I posted the truth about the meeting and what was said.

No one sent you a threatening letter.
How could they? You retain anonymity.

Quote: Top House Lad "As a point of information, Stuart Duffy, for almost all the Marc Green era, was not part of the management team but worked part time in the football department. When everyone else had either resigned or disappeared he was asked if he would take the role of General Manager, which he has done throughout administration when he has been very much of a go between. As a further point of information he has not been media manager for a number of years.'"

Stuart Duffy was football manager and in charge of looking after the salary cap for Ferres and Green. He is more involved than you think. It's interesting to note that the administrators cited a lack of management information as one of the major issues they faced in trying to provide bidders with info. Stuart Duffy was football manager then GM and the man tasked with keeping this information up to date and available. He controlled the lodging of player contracts with the RFL and therefore when bidders asked what everyone was being paid so they could asses the level of finance required they were told the information was not available!

Duffy wants to be in charge but hides behind ignorance when the brown stuff flies. People have been sucked into this for too long and a complete clear out is needed. Get some fresh ideas in and build some energy.

I think technically speaking there has been a clear out as we no longer exist. Not sure how we'll go without some continuity when our saviour rides in on his steed...or donkey

Quote: HamsterChops "More interesting in the paper are Martyn Sadler's comments. He mentions how League Publications are a major creditor of the Bulls (them being the company that produced the matchday newspaper). Says he's less than pleased about being left in the dark by the administrator in relation to the bids, says the creditors received no information at all about them and that the administrator seemed to spend an awful long time on holiday during the administration period.

Coupled with Green's comments about not being involved at all in any of the bids, or indeed with the club since the administrator was appointed, it does suggest that the creditors were not involved at all in rejecting any bids for the club. That was all down to the administrator, who didn't consult the creditors in the slightest.'"


Surely the creditors are only made aware,when the administrator approves a bid.Not all parties that are bidding.

I know what you mean but Stuart Duffy needs to go, more faces than the town hall clock playing staff off against each other.

Looking forward to getting no work done for the 8th straight week constantly refreshing various sources of social media that have absolutely no inside track on anything. The gallows humour keeps it all worthwhile.

Stu Duffy wasn't asked to be GM, he pushed himself into the position. When the Welfare investigation starts against him the fans will get the truth.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.:



It's a deadline, I suppose. And it's been pushed back once already. So by the rules of this admin, it can't be pushed back again - it has to be scrapped on a flimsy excuse that something basic has changed, then a new deadline introduced

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif



Quote: KCNBABT "I know what you mean but Stuart Duffy needs to go, more faces than the town hall clock playing staff off against each other.'"


Duffy should have been booted out long ago. This wee clown has been there throughout all the crap and yet still seems to be there stealing a wage from the club. This is a guy who has a long history of deliberately lying to the fans and then giving them a pile of abuse whenever they disagree with him.

Sadly too many people seem to think that he is "the man."

Indeed. I don't honestly know if I expect any news today or not, but that opening match of the 2017 season is getting closer and closer, sooner or later one of these deadlines is going to have to matter as options for reforming and assembling any type of team in any league will disappear for 2017.
