Shaun Mcrae I would guess he will have been advising Pearson for a while now.

If Lynch wants to leave Bradford won't be able to stop him, just like Matt Orford.

Actually not a bit like Matt Orford - that was a totally different situation, the true facts behind which may well never come out. The closer analogy is Sam Burgess.

Think you're missing the point Dave.

pearson won't be held to ransom over lynch. he'll come for around £30k I reckon

Tony Williams would be a great signing but don't see it happening, what a monster.

Fair enough, but now if a player wants to leave despite having a contract the sad fact is he will leave happened to us with Carvell. All the power is in the players hands these days.

Bradford would be better served selling him to Hull for a fair price, rather than have an unhappy player who will leave for nothing at the end of the year anyway.

Lynch deal off

thought it was nailed on Paul

Maybe he only wanted to come because of Agar?

How come?

Mrs B scared him off

Due to big Willie Mason getting his visa and coming to play for fc instead

Looking at the article linked to earlier I'd guess that Potter spat his dummy and the Bradford board changed their minds or started asking for silly money.

I've been told Lynch has asked for a minimum 3 year deal....can't see us offering that. How old is he 31/32? Mind you decent injury record and if Lynch and his agent are haggling for a 3 year deal I'm sure they will be illustrating Adrian Morley as an example of a prop who can play on at that age. I would.

2 years with an option of a 3rd year based on appearances?

I honestly cannot see how Lynch signing can go from being "nailed on" by many "in the know" on here to now being "dead", just like that.

Maybe the new coach has a better option now avaliable??? Who knows.

I have no idea where it even started, just seemed to be 1 of those names out of a hat and its snowballed from there kind of rumours.

I like the Lyons rumour - that's the stuff rumours should be made of

Like many many others



No doubt Jamie Lyon will be the next one (again).

No idea why, Wolfe told me earlier it has fallen through. Seems Bulls or Lynch have changed the goalposts from what was agreed.

I agree...

Seems like Fielden all over again.

Thats what usually happens when decent players moving clubs gets leaked, there's an uproar at the currnt club so the deal is squashed to keep the natives happy

wait and see, it's only early September and we've signed O'Carroll and given Houghton a longer deal, got rid of Agar and are being linked with the Aussie #2!

Agreed, I reckon this story has still to run it's course yet. I'm fairly confident with Pearson now in charge you will see us signing more of our 1st choice targets than ever before.
