Regardless of location, they’ve apparently interviewed multiple high quality coaches but gone for a candidate without a proven track record.

Accepting that I might be on my own but I see this is a largely a positive appointment that also demonstrates a pathway for other coaches.. Since taking the interim role there have IMHO been noticeable signs of improvement particularly regarding a more entertaining style of play. Yes Sunday was a battering but blimey look at Leigh's team sheet, was that result really a coaching issue?

Secondly personally I did not know much about Matt Peet until this season. Not a "big" name/big statement appointment as such has already won the CC

Brian Noble as a consultant, yes hands up unless Mr. Dunning requested such an appointment that is somewhat baffling.

Finally, has it all taken too long to announce? Yes, no doubt.

I get the impression,based on the reactions across social media and from on here that the fans forum could get a bit lively!

I doubt because the club will carefully manage whats asked.

The problem is, you can see it at Odsal and even on this board, the vast majority have stopped caring.

The crowds are continuing to fall. It would be interesting to know what the clubs budget is based on next year - is it based on 1k crowds? If not, we’re heading for trouble again.

The club has made its decision, but they must know that this appointment won’t inspire people to renew (and certainly won’t help bring back lost supporters).

Results now are the main thing that will bring back lost supporters. Shall we give it 10 games….?

Matthew Shaw saying on Twitter that we're on a "bottom half" of the championship budget next year.

If that is the case professional rugby in Bradford is dead and I think it proves we are being kept on life support simply to keep Odsal in use.

Isn't he the Halifax loving clown that gets aroused at any thought something negative could happen at Bradford and if there is no hint of anything will make up any b0ll0x at all to get his fix or am I thinking of another Twitter-tw4t?

Agree and this is why I won't be watching the Bulls in 2023
Club are still pushing the challenging for playoffs line when it's clearly not true.
Last year we had a group of 10 who went to games
It's now down to 2-3. With the 2-3 remaining unlikely to renew.

He is a well known Fax supporting RL journalist. Gets more right than wrong.

Looking at some of the comments on the clubs Facebook account, I really hope Dunning doesn't read it. Whilst we all have reservations about the motivation behind his appointment, he himself hasn't done anything wrong. It makes me cringe that the poor bloke may see some of the extreme responses.

The spending "in the bottom half of the league" is just a bit of headline grabbing and gets the desired effect as its Bradford. Note, he hasn't tweeted Widnes, Londons budget for next year...

He can't know ANY teams exact budget for next year as no club would divulge that info. Plus I'd league positions, St sales will all have an impact on budgets. He's just looked at it that we're likely spending less than Fev, Toulouse, Fax, Newcastle and thrown in the line "Bottom half budget" as it's creates a reaction.

York and Keighley will have bigger budgets next year than Bulls so that's already 6 teams, John Kear also said he has a bigger budget at Widnes so that puts us in lower half of league no?
