| Quote mystic eddie="mystic eddie"Again, I did not say that either. Please, if you want to be on a message board, learn to read the posts correctly.
Lowes was a duff coach before we got him. That is WHY we got him in the first place. We did not exactly have anyone beating down the door to come in. He was a cheap, convenient appointment, made to appease the fans who could not take to Cummins because he was Leeds through and through.
As I said, he is thick. Hence the meltdown. But there have been far worse within our club than him over the past few years. And remember that WE appointed him. WE knew the type of character he was. Therefore we cannot really complain about it now.
Should he go? Yes. Who would I have that is realistic? John Kear. (before I am asked)'"
Did I say you said that ? please learn to read the posts correcttly

Upsets me? Get a grip.

Incidentally, as I was often asked during Bananagate. Who would you have in to replace him?

| I don't see why the bloke is getting hammered, what he said was raw, emotional and was not just him whinging about how badly reffed he thought the game was but mainly his distress at the impact on his players. I don't agree with what he said, but I admire his motivation for saying it, a leader sharing his teams pain.
On the other hand, he wouldn't have given a monkeys toss about the impact of relegation on Wakefield players or the club or, for that matter, nicking the promotion place from the winners of the league.
What he said was a result of unbelievable stress, and I admire him for saying it.

Surely Charlie knew?
But then he is that amiable yet omnipresent portent of knowing very little (as it turns out)

Big Bad Jimmy who's he then ?
John Kear possibly, knows the players in the championship and has coached in SL

| Quote Pacific="Pacific"I'm not a Bradford fan but I don't think some of you realise how lucky you are.
You have a coach who has a winning mentality, has an authentic connection to the club and would give his life to see the glory days come back again.
After a huge transition of players and taking over after threats of administration, Lowes has brought stability, secured the signatures of quality players and made you peak at the right time of the season. More importantly, he seems commited to a long term plan of progression for the club.
Both Jimmy, and you - the fans- are frustrated right now but when you put all this is perspective and realise the odds you face in getting promoted I think you'll relaise how grateful you all are to have him as your coach. He was wrong to say what he did yesterday, but there are fans who are crying out for their coaches to speak truthfully and say what they are thinking.
His rant has made the loss seem 100x worse than what it really is. Had he gone on TV and said something like "Disappointed to lose. Wakefield deserved to win. We've achieved more than most expected us to this year though. We'll learn from this and have a better chance next year". I suspect none of you would be talking about this. Think of the positives, you beat Salford convincingly and also Leigh at their place. You're in a batter position to gain promotion next year now you have experience and more settled squad.
Put things in perspective!'"
Pacific, I accept you are not a Bradford fan but you would give Martin Luther King a run for his money - excellent speech, very motivational, it worked on me, thank you.
Having just heard Jimmy's rant on sky, I must agree with what mystic Eddie and a few others are saying. Jimmy, understandably was very emotional immediately after the game - how many of us weren't? Did he talk some cr@p - yes. Was he a hero when he played for us - yes. Ok so he's not been the best coach we've had - but he's not been the worse. Steve McNamara was a good player (remember him and Jez Donagher smashing each others heads open but getting back in the line with blood pouring down their faces) but he was a rubbish coach - so they gave him the England job!
If Jimmy goes - so be it - but a revolving door of half good half bad coaches is no good for anyone.
Whoever coaches us just needs to get the players to be consistent (and improve), Too many games we've seen a B-team turn up when the A-team had done a great job the week before. I don't care if the next coach is Bugs Bunny, I just want us to get a winning mentality back; and give the fans something to look forward to watching.

| I think he deserves another year. He managed his squad sufficiently well to get us into the game that mattered and we were beaten by a Super League club. During the year he had to work out which players had the capability to do the job and to assemble a team he thought he could rely on to implement his tactics/gameplan. We weren't quite good enough but he would start another season knowing much more about his squad.

| So you call your coach thick, then say he has fallen out with players...
mmm... I presume all of you who say these things work with the squad and coaches on a daily bases then
As for the rant, if you watched the interview with your coach on the Super League Show on Sunday night then you would have seen a measured calm response to the same questions. Sticking a camera in a losing coaches face a few minutes after the siren was only looking for car crash TV, and my god they got it.
Read Danny Lockwoods piece in today's League Weekly for a very fair assessment of the £1m Game concept.
Your entire team now have acquired really valuable experience of what this new structure requires to get promoted, and you want to throw that away. The coaches remit was to get you in this game, and then it was a lottery, your owner knew that and in reality so did all of you.
