It is time to move on with regards the name of the club, is is absolutely pointless debate any longer, it detracts away from the real problems we are going through, with our current club coach and the running/administration of the club.'"
He never implied that,
I don't think anyone apart from you has taken what he said to imply that.
Don't think anyone thinks the name change is the root of our problems.
Don't think anyone is obsessed with the matter.
It was not the point of his post, merely a part of the overall picture.

When there is only 35 of us here on the forum, I wonder what is a great many.
I fully accepted that some did express concerns but we all know who they are, so I'm unsure why GF needed to raise it again. Obsessed, I do think some will not let the name change go, or it would not keep getting raised over and over again.

| The re-branding would have worked if it had been done properly - i.e. with a decent marketing budget (DOWN Gutters!). I did think of an admittedly drastic solution to the 'get rid of Powell' problem, but I didn't fancy spending what years are left to me in Parkhurst!

No! don't want to see that happen to you however drastic the situation is!
The RFL seem to be pulling out all the stop for Bradford, so how about them taking Powell to work in Development in the South? but I seriously wonder who would take us on as a club now at this stage of the season and the mess we are in, would anyone other than a top coach be able to put in some input to what is getting close to saving the club?

I wouldn't worry, given the evidence of the past 2 seasons there's no jury in the land that would convict you!!

| It's the name change that is to blame
If Powell's contract is up at the end of the year, wouldn't it be nice if the club come out and said that it wouldn't be renewed and that they were actively searching for the new man? We can all wish though.
Nice to see that another thread has been derailed by GF though.

Where did I say that?

On this we agree
But on this....
Quote Moe Lester="Moe Lester"Nice to see that another thread has been derailed by GF though.'"
Powell is the problem.......to the extent where the CEO has gone on record and said that all the other woes are don to the team not performing....where does my post below derail this thread...?
[size=50 Quote Moe Lester="gutterfax"The Club have covered themselves in anything but glory this year. From the moment the name change was 'touted", a good number of regular posters expressed their concerns, but the CEO ploughed on with the re-brand, whilst the chairman for some unknown reason, retained the coach who had managed the club to 6 wins and a draw over 27 games in the SL.
Fast forward just under 12 months and the coach has delivered 3 wins in the SL and the CEO and his hand picked team of expertts has delivered a drop in fans and no sponsors to speak of.
I don't "blame" either of them by the way......I actually feel a bit sorry for them in that they have been appointed to roles where neither had the experience required to perform to the expectations of the Chairman.
Both have enthusiasm in bucketloads.......and both should be thanked for their efforts, but since they both came to their roles, the club have managed 19 competition points from a possible 94, we have had no shirt sponsor to speak of, the boxes are as empty as they have always been and we have gone from an average of 3,380 at the end of 2010 to 2,876...15% down..........so they should be thanked on the way out the door in my opinion that is.
Failure has got to stop being rewarded.........'" [/size
...please, if you're going to be an argumentative idiot, have something other than your and jaybs opinion to back it up....otherwise you just become more marginalised in your standpoint.

It's not about me always being right.....it's about you being constantly wrong
As for being marginalised....all I've heard from you and ML is that the club should move east because:
It's less distance to travel to games for you
There are thousands of RL fans in East London
er....that's it.

Go on you keep on believing you are right! if it keeps you happy.
I have never mentioned moving East for months, as there are far more urgent problems to be concerned about, such as if we will be around as a Super League club for much longer if serious action is not taken.
GF I have gone to every ground the London Club has played at never stop from the first match at Fulham, even though I never liked a few of the grounds. When did I ever say it is "less distance for me to travel East" please produce the evidence? you are always quick to bring others and myself up about being wrong. In fact it is 250 miles each way to London for home games for me, wherever we play only adds on 10 or so miles for me, I'm not around 11,600 approx miles from the The Stoop and hardly visit like some?
It is about time we stop all these "petty" games, there are serious problems to be put right, not one of us have all the answers whoever we are, currently survival is more important for the club in Super League.
