It's all psychology designed to make the next big judgement call go his way - straight from the Fergie manual!

I hope no one man is bigger than the club

I couldn't care less about Tubbs or Sheffield Eagles in all honesty, they've been one of the sport's takers rather than givers, sure I felt sorry for them over the merger with Huddersfield & was delighted for them when they won the challenge cup, but them playing all those years at the DV really deterred me from going to games over there, I've watched a game at Hillsborough v Saints & I've watched games at Owlerton, and as recent as last season I watched us get our pants pulled down at Bramhall Lane in the play-offs and they clearly were the best team that day but for such a large pulling area I don't see how the club has evolved too much. Having been involved locally in our junior game at various levels & got to know a few of the equivalents at Sheffield/Hillsborough Hawks I feel for them as individuals 'cos there are some good people involved, but how are they ever gonna pull decent crowds in ?

What a load of nonsense, everyone the club have done since being reformed has been thanks to the directors, the RFL haven't helped in any way. Regardless of what you think of him, rugby league can't afford to lose people who have worked as tirelessly as he has to develop the sport. I dont think for one minute he will walk away, I think he is just fed up with the lack of support from the RFL on a number of matters, including the mess over the travel plans down to France last week.

Perhaps he could send threatening texts like he did with one of your ex-players. Joker of a club ambassador.

To be honest I have no love for Sheffield Eagles, The Don Valley stadium was bad enough, but Bramble Lane? A soulless ground with two dirty pubs next door. We always go and always get insulted. I would rather go to traditional ground such as Batley Fev, Barra, wish we were going to Barra this year, brilliant Wetherspoon near by.
Incidentally I went to the last ever Yorkshire CCC game at Bramble Lane.
County Championship games then were 3 days, I took 2 days holiday off work and as it went to very exciting third day called in sick and went to the match. Yorkshire won in the afternoon and Keith Macklin interviewed a few Yorkshire Members including me about the end of Cricket in Sheffield.

On the six o'clock news that night, not a very welcoming morning from my boss next day?
