Taken the Dewsbury job 'till the end of the season apparently.

If true it ends 24 years great service to the Bradford cause, and one of my favourite players!

All the best meders!

be a shame but sometimes a change is as good as a rest - must have been a tough decision but got a feeling we will see him back at some point!

a great servant of the club and good honest pro who always gave 100%, i can still see him absolutely hammering Paul Newlove to pieces in the super league game at home in 96
thanks for your loyal service and all the very best medders!

Onya, Medders. Massive contribution in 91-92, would have been dead and buried then if we'd gone down. Tries against Wigan in 96 and against Leeds in the 97 semi were each incredible moments in the club's history. Adieu.

Potentially one of the best players of his generation, with phenomenal pace & power, who never fully relaised his potential when younger IMO. IIRC Reilly got rid of him because he didn't consider him mentally tough enough, so it will be interesting to see how he handles first grade management. Has certainly worked with some good coaches.

Always a shame when long serving people are the victims of times like these, though maybe he had first team coaching ambitions of his own that this will help him realise?

Bet he gave a cracking leaving speech.

He did but that was weeks ago the day after he (and Stuart Barrow) had been made redundant.

Since then he returned FOC when the other sacked staff did the same

There was no mention of this to the Acadamy players at Tuesday training, though I'm not surprised if things have moved quick (I only heard WJ had resigned yesterday)

I wonder who will pick and administer the U20s team to play in the curtain raiser v HKR on Friday (given that the U18s coach Jimmy Lewis has left to emigrate to Australia, and Stuart Barrow is in Australia with England U18s and is redundant anyway)?

Ditto re U18s team to play Huddersfield next week

All continuity now lost

Cant blame any of them
Same for players and even the Academy players whose plight was made very clear by the understanding Barry McDermott on B&A last night

Can't see Medders leaving the Academy Lads in the lurch whatever the circumstances, he will have a backup plan for them!

Got to wish Medders all the best. He's been an absolute star for this club over many years and wish him the best of luck in whatever he does. Hope, it's just au revoir and not goodbye.

Well and truly misinformed there I think. Sorry for the panic guys!

It just said on sky sports news that someone else has taken on the role in a caretaker capacity. So it aint Medders.

Paul Broadbent, not Paul Medley
