| Plenty of other crap falling apart in my life right now and I'm not paying any attention to this until it's over, one way or another.
If I don't see you next season enjoy the rest of your lives.

| Looks like rocky times ahead.
This time, I hope an opportunist creditor doesn't decide to transfer his/her debt into club ownership.
It appears like Green has tried, but he didn't have the experience or the deep pockets that the club needed.
Personally, I have never thought of Green as a shrewd businessman. Green has overseen the progress of the club for the last 2 seasons, which has seen us slowly decline. Lowes was a bad fit from the beginning, and the club failed to crack down on his poor man management and lack of media skills. We finished the season where we deserved.

| Hello again! Turns out I don't need to go away and hide under a rock after all.
Facebook link in my signature below. Someone drop me a PM when we turn on Mick again.
No cryptic bellendery from him and there'd be considerably less of this.
Cheers.

Mick needs to be ashamed it was his "in the know" tweet which started this drama off about administration.

| Fair play to Mark Green. Indeed a forceful statement.
He is dead right though, if we as supporters want a club then we as supporters need to ensure they we survive.
We have no right to have a club given to us, it's a representation of our community that we can all get behind.
That doesn't mean running off because we are in the Championship for another year.
No matter where we are, we should support. Lets not be glory supporters.

| Am I missing the point somewhere. People blaming Jimmy, People Blaming Ferres. People blaming Green. People blaming Smith. I personally would like to hear someone higher up saying "You know what, the players performed awful. It was their fault". However, when my Grand kids say why did Bradford RL go out of business, I can respond that its my fault I just didn't drink enough beer.

| Yes, you're missing the point. You need to park this season and be grateful Green is up for another crack, because if not for him, whatever you want to say about this season, we would effectively now be dead. Yet he says if we keep coming then we have a new year and a full time team. If you don't buy into that then that's your choice. I've said my bit about the debacle of 2016 and now I am just relieved we can look forward. I don't blame anyone for being disillusioned, and just hope enough keep the faith.

The club need to either bring in more income commercially or sort out the on field issues. Constantly repeating 'if you want success you'll have to pay for it' isn't working and as you mentioned what happens if fifty percent of support base decide they've had enough?

| There will never be a shortage of fans that want an owner to match THIER ambitions with HIS money , I've seen it at Leigh , I've seen it posted countless times on these boards
I remember seeing the opinions passed on this board a couple of years ago of your previous owner and his million pound ' investment ' , I was disgusted with some of them
I regret that Mr Green will most likely suffer similar now , for doing nothing other than tipping money in , doing his best and telling it like it is

Exactly
Most of yesterday, once the gloating rumour generators had gained momentum, I couldn't think straight for worrying we were going to disappear.
They love it don't they, specially the likes of Ratty Schofield.
That statment needed to be made and its a good one as far as I am concerned.
Ross Heppenstall described it as a "diatribe" - so whats his problem then? There is nothing there that did not need to be said.
As for the abuse of Directors and drinks in the face of a player - just not on..
So yes - I am more than grateful to Marc Green for keeping the club going.
I did not intent to watch the pointless shield games - but on the back of that statement - I will go to them all now just to put my money in and continue my support.

So we need to park this season (even though it is only July). And we need to park last season because we got to the MPG, despite the fact that a lot of the performances dire. And we had to park the season before because we had a six point deduction for going into administration. I daresay you are expecting to say that we really can't expect much next season as there will be so many new players that they need time to play together. We may as well park that.

God, I'm terrible at parking as well.

| I like Green, and agree with most of his comments. I think a lot of us would be more onside if someone would just own up and say, "Yes we got some things wrong, particularly with some signings, and the scrum half debacle" However its done now. Will be there for the next home match, daft as a brush but still supporting, and might I add, grateful to Marc Green for keeping my club going.

Tend to agree with this. I am disappointed that there appears to be a complete lack of acknowledgment from the players that they have utterly loved up this season.
I've only seen Mellor and Addy and Chev say something but it was more playing the victim card. "we're hurting just as much as you" Can't stand when people play the victim in a situation they created themselves.
Not seen one comment like "we've not been good enough. Sorry etc" Actions speak louder than words, but at least an acknowledgment would have been nice.

This. I'm actually very happy with Marc's comments, and am currently looking for ways of making myself poorer in order to benefit the club, in solidarity with Marc's own efforts. It's possibly foolish on my part, but I [ido[/i trust the guy, which is more than can be said for all of the previous leaders at the club since I started watching in over 20 years ago.

| Marc is undoubtedly a better person to be in charge of the club than Omar Khan, Ryan Whitcut or Mark Moore. Which admittedly is like saying someone is a better babysitter than Jimmy Saville would have been, but nevertheless, it's a positive.
Personally, my jury is still out on him. But I am under no illusions that we're better off with him than a lot of the clowns that we've had (or nearly had) recently.
