Quite a few arguements ongoing within this thread however I think the title of the thread has it pretty accurate. We probably are the worst team in the comp, and have been since midway through last season.

Regardless of the circumstances around our decline over the past 6 years, we are a club who supposedly has access to the full salary cap, is coached by a (supposedly) good coach, and are watched by sizeable average crowds. Compare our performances to those of Wakefield, a club who have been in abolute turmoil for the past 6 months, who are reliant on loan players from other clubs, who are spending way less than the salary cap, and who without a4 point deduction would be sat above us in the league table, there really is no excuse to be performing the way we are.

Very good point.

The way Wakey have got over their adversity should be an example to our players.

If ever there was an irrefutable argument, that is it.

No, your perception is as bad as your memory, you said that the coach and the chairman "had to go", so how come you now believe he can sort the mess?

Do you think we would be playing any better with a third coach? Why?

As for the general point, your OP was 1st May, at which stage we were a candidate for worst team in the comp in [ianyone's[/i book, and if we maintain our current form we will be, no clairvoyance needed, so no cigar for you. As for the table, the table at halfway 'proves' nothing. If it did, they'd be presenting the pots tomorrow, but I don't believe they are.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg

And what do you suggest he does to sort this out?

I do note you've avoided actually answering FA who's already asked you this question and instead have just posted an attempt at abuse.

:



im really worried about the club from top to bottom

even our reserve and junior teams seem to be in turmoil!

i think every supporter would be happy if our players "appeared to try and give a toss" .. however .. maybe its hard for the guys who are only on one year contracts as perhaps they know they are on their way out!

think we'd all be happy to lose but only concede 24 points! ..

However Barry Eaton did make me laugh today by suggesting if we had to go out and get someone .. it should be a british forward?

it would help if the coach and the chairman .. came out and said it like it is .. rather than media Bullrubbish ...

we want passion and commitment top to bottom!

Your schoolboy sarcasm apart, I note you don't say what you disagree with or why, just that my view is "deluded". So, that's your winning argument is it? Riiiight.

And again, you show yourself up for what you are. An idiot who's got no real grasp of any fact beyond your own opinion which you've confused for fact.

You claim that it's your opinion but you don't put forward anything to support what you say and when anyone disagrees with you, you attack them or claim their a "club plant". You claim that you should be allowed your opinion but you also don't seem to believe that other people are allowed their opinion or that they're allowed to disagree with you or poke massive holes in your arguments.

Soon we will be dancing the Fandango FROM 2004,TO DO WHAT THIS CLUB'S DONE,IF THATS NOT GREATNESS THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS. JAMIE PEACOCK:



Quote: paulms "By the way, I started watching Northern in 1964 and haven't missed alot since then, but this is up there among the low points (or is it down there?) in all that time. Full time players, full time coaching staff, part time effort and commitment. Junk.'"

Ive not read all of this thread,but you said you started in 64 !well your a long way offthe same situationas Northern were in 63-64 and the previous years that lead up to the liquidation of the old clubyour not getting crowds measured in the 100s and you wont be getting crowds of that level,but it is a very worrying situation,If the Giants win SL this year they could attract a lot of the support you had this year on the cut price tickets
