It's just contradiction.

Do you really have to resort to being so disingenuous? I have presented no conspiracy theory. Your words again. I have expressed an opinion.

It is my opinion that Caisley's intervention served to fatally undermine whatever plans the then-board had. I suggest any argument that he did not realise the effect his intervention was likely to have does not itself bear scrutiny. Nenertheless I have no idea what the motives behind the nature and timing of his intervention were, although the timing was at best extremely extremely unfortunate in my opinion. I see others have separately expressed the same opinion, on this forum and elsewhere, so they must feel the argument DOES in fact bear scrutiny.

You choose to hold a different opinion, and that is your right. But I'd kindly ask for a bit more honesty when attributing opinions or statements to me.

You're an influential poster who has presented a sequence of events in support of your 'opinion' that Hood and Co had a plan/investment and that CC timed his intervention to scupper those plans. This suggest that he has first and foremost acted spitefully and not in the best interests of the club, or even, in his own best financial interests.

I've challenged this. That we don't agree is self-evident but how is this disingenuous?

very good, confess I missed it first time

still not gone bust yet then

good publicity stunt.

Surely if Hood had a plan in place to save the club before Caisley stepped in, then he could publish said plan.

ie we had x and y lined up to invest x and y amounts of cash, we where going to cut costs here and there. But then when Caisley stepped in x and y lost confidence that their investments would be safe or wanted to see the counter arguement.

Whilst I agree Caisley may see administration as the best option, it may actually have been the only option.

If there were said investors why did they not invest during the weeks the fans were pooring money into the club??? Surely if the £1m was all that was required when the investors saw the fans hitting £400k that would be the time to move.

I have no self interest in this, from day 1 it seamed a little strange to be asking the fans for 500k without any plan for the other 500k. If there was a plan then why did they not let the fans know, it would have helped move the fund raising along, they may even have got more investors on board than they needed, if the money was going to be in place.

Well we are where we are.

Wonder how long it'll be before we hear anything concrete about the future? The wages are due on 14 June apparently so I would expect something before then unless anyone knows different.

They'll be no announcement till Saturday at the earliest I'm guessing. Probably Monday to complement the victory over Leeds.

It could be worse, we could merge with Sheffield.

BOOOOOM! One - Nil to the Bradford boys! That's good, VERY GOOD even



Bet he has no comeback to that classic putdown

Short memories in Huddersfield it would appear .. oh .. and they STILL HAVEN'T WON ANYTHING

Compliment? Or take the shine off?

Might be a good day to bury bad news?

Yep usual sad bitter Giants fan with a short memory.

Of course your view, "counts for nothing", it's just an opinion, an opinion on a message board FFs, just like mine, Maislebugs and Adeybull and all the rest. There are as many opinions as there are raindrops in a thunderstorm; the big difference is some of us accept this eternal truth and others get all wound up about it. We rarely know the facts (in so far as the facts can be determined and demonstrated) so it's all subjective anyway....

Shame some people seem to think they know everything and present their posts in such a way, whilst also being dismissive of everyone elses' opinions who do not sing from the same hymn sheet.

Hilariously this particular poster often ends up with serious egg on his face.

It's like goldy and silvery, only made of iron.

I generally like Adeybull's comments.

He's exactly the right sort of supporter that Rugby League, and Bradford need. So what if he witters on occasion, and does a very good Capt. Mainwaring impression.....hardly calls for all the grief he receives..

Come over from the dark side Adey. There's a better class of numpty here on Southstander, and we have cake!


PS Leeds by a comfortable 20 + points on Sunday

And on the flipside, it may just be me but I think we need a resident grouch who picks holes in everyone's arguements and generally gets on peoples nerves. That may sound perverse but it keep the rest of you from falling into a consensus-fueled mutual hugfest.

What grief??



Most folks are too frightened to upset "the mouthpiece" in case they get a stern ticking off from His disciples.

"Most Folks" ?
What's your source for the assertion

OY!! Adey has signed a contract - I've got it here on a bit of paper.....somewhere............anyway you'll have to try harder than that to coherse him



Oh, well played yesterday BTW..

My source? Just look at the facts. Pretty much over the last few years only four people have regularly stood up to Adeybull, of which I am one of them. Four from the entire board is a very small minority which suggests that "most folks" either agree entirely with everything he says, including the numerous contradictions or alternatively seem unable to voice their dissent for fear of the outcome. It is well known that Adey has a right lot of sycophants that applaud his every word, just to be another sheep in the pen.

Internet, serious business.
