| What will sacking Potter and Duffy do? It's the players that we need as we have an abundance of average/crap players in our squad. I have faith that we will see a recruitment drive for quality next year as this years hasn't worked.

You fail to actually back up your opinion with any substance to back up your arguments. That's why no one actually takes anything you say seriously. So really, the only waste of air is you

| IMO as a club we have gone from been a proactive club to reactive club at boardroom level.

| I'm willing to reserve judgement on Potter until next year.
With 2 pre-seasons to recruit and put in place your own system, I will then Judge. Can't really do that with what we have seen so far.
I'm sure everyone involved is trying their best to get some class signings to Bradford.
I do get the impression that Potter is unhappy with the performance of certain people - There has been little in the way of contract extensions for those that are running out this year.
Potter doesn't go from being a disciplinarian to a softy overnight. Would like to know his reactions after each game

| Sacking MP and SD is not the answer, maybe they should be looking at a few of the back room staff LSH for instance he has done absolutely nothing for the past 4 years or has he …..

| Completely agree with Red.
The Club is far too soft at Boardroom level and this simply filters through the rest of the Club. My "evidence"...
- Not sacking Macnamara after the performances over three years
- Not realising what everyone else could see that Orford wasn't coming back (they even posted his Golf Clubs back to him whilst he was "sick"icon_wink.gif
- Linked to this, the gap in our overseas Quota this year is a joke
- Not setting the high standards expected by the playing staff (Langley shot off home after the last home game at the final whistle - surely the younger players would benefit from having him around after the game ??)
- And as for the "reaction" by the players to the last two games (laughing / shrugging shoulders) - unacceptable
- Tweeting about Nandos is this years Cake Baking competition - FFS !
- The player turnstile at Odsal will be again in full force this off-season which surely can't help matters
- And as for the lies about being anywhere near the cap - don't make me laugh. The club is trying to achieve the impossible on the cheap. We will never know, but my fear is that we have spent less this year than any other Club in the League
There you go, shoot me down............................

We were collecting frequent DHL-er points. That may have seemed like bad business but we filled half a book full of stamps there.

| It does look like this season is going to have to be yet another that is written off but, to be fair, after the last two years and the number of new players being brought in it was never going to be a quick job to fix, especially as the confidence of the players carried over from the last season was probably... delicate... to say the least.
A lot of people on this forum seemed more than happy with Potter being appointed head coach and, with his experience and the quality of the players brought in the team should be playing better. I don't know why it isn't and I would imagine the board are in the same position... so what do we do? Sack him, lose money paying him off and replace him with someone mid season who will come in with more new ideas that the team will then have to adapt to? I understand that in the society we live in people want instant gratification but, whilst I can understand the frustration and desire to make something of our season I can't see changing the coach doing that much.
As for the board leaving? Again, to what end? I don't think there were many people complaining about the decision to hire Potter or the players we've signed (based on who was available)
What happened to signing Mason? Having a high impact player who can go on and lift the team with a few big hits would be a big plus.

By all accounts he pretty much laughed at the idea of joining Bradford. Another error to claim an interest without actually talking to HKR or Mason about it behind closed doors.
And he's garbage!

according to hull kr fans they had actually agreed a deal for him to come and mason was the only one who refused. he prefers to sit on his behind collecting a big wage for doing nothing before taking up a big money deal with toulon (if they still want him). playing for anyone risks him getting injured and losing his payday so not something hes likely to do.

I think he may have gone (back?) to the T&A boards. I'm sure he'll feel right at home............
