So it's not just me then.

I think it depends on what level of interest there actually is in Macca (take Karl Harrison,a.k.a the forgotten man)as an example.) Would anybody be interested in Macca just yet?

And then on a new coach situation, there would be no uprooting reqiredif he coach already lived in this country.........

I would like to see an aussie coming in should Macca and the bulls part, but is there actually the cash to do this? Without knowing the Bulls finances, I cannot say, I can merely speculate and take whatever news comes directly from the club itself.

We are about where we should be in the league now, looking at the squad, so whilst his detractors should be silent, he should not be receiving too much praise.

The hopeful point is, that we are moving in the right direction at the moment and so we may improve on where we are - if this happens he should rightly be praised.

The best thing for me has been the improvement in the attack - with dummy runners and support players everywhere. If Macca is responsible for this - well done, although I have my suspicions that this is down to somebody else.

I wouldn't be handing him a new contract just yet, but the team are doing well.

Playing poor and winning is the sign of a good side.

Considering we are not spending up to the cap, McNamara is doing an excellent job imo. If it was down to me i'd see how the next month or so goes. If its more of the same then a 2 year deal for Macca, if not, bring an Aussie in.

tbh I think we wont have the luxury of waiting a month due to the impending england coach announcement and if we want to keep him we'll have to decide this coming week.

If the decision was made this week, i'd keep him.

He's doing a great job looking at our league position considering we're operating under the salary cap. He'll probably get a bit more to spend next season, so i'd see where he can take us next.

he'll only get more money to spend next year if attendances rise. We'll probably have some money freed up by menzies retiring but that'll get soaked up in an improved deal to retain langley. their may be a couple of other departures but not any of our bigger wages so we wont have much scope for strengthening unless we can get attendances and therefore income up.

Money to spend was limited this year due to building the state of the art training facilities, so regardless of who we let go, I imagine we'll get a bit more to spend.

I'm not sure whether Menzies will even go yet, but if he does, all of his money won't go on Langley (But I really do hope we hear good news regarding a Langley contract soon!!)

Who says Menzies is retiring? He easily has another year in him.

Judging by what I saw on the highlights last night, he sure does.

he's said in interviews he may do another year or he may look to move into coaching. If we could move him into coaching setup as an assistant that would be ideal for us imo. Another year playing may be a year too far imo. It also has to be remembered that we'll only have a quota space to recruit someone if menzies goes. nero wont count on quota next year so it doesnt help us in terms of quota whether he stays or goes and the other 4 ozzies are under contract for next year already.

Hi Adey



Over the last couple of seasons - yes. I even know of at least 6 people who have stopped going for just that reason. Not that anecdote can be used as evidence of anything much, but it is my belief that over the last two seasons a lack of faith in the coach has contributed to a decline in attendances.



I thought I said all that - so yes, I know, and I agree for the most part. However, do I think Macca is as good or better coach than Brown or Maguire? - No I don't. So would I replace him with either of them or similar if they were available, then yes I would. I know that this is not as simple as it sounds, given finances etc, but my ambition for the club would be to have a coach of similar quality and standing, I don't believe Macca is at that level yet, he might get there, but I'm far from convinced.

I don't agree with that. Maybe the odd game but if a team is consistently playing poorly, winning or not, it is a reflection of other issues. Not that I am saying Bradford are, I have not seen enough recent games to comment.
