Joining the club from Salford as performance manager apparently. Anyone know much about him?

No Idea! I'm just glad it isn't Billy Pierce as a "What a Performance Manger"

Did I not say this in a previous post Along with Damien Irvine

Is there any truth in this? Damian Irvine now at the club as a consultant also players performance guy Russell Mcfarlane from Salford now at club along with another former Salford employee Martin Vickers Maybe this could be the huge announcements that where touted

Yep, I remember you saying that.

So other than sounding like one half of Ant & Dec - is he any good?

What exactly is a 'performance manager'?

I think he's in charge of pressing play on the remote when they watch the match videos.

A trainer.

All part of the stealth takeover by Koukash!

Is that what Mick told you?

Hey Frank, welcome back

Ah, you've been quiet since everything you told us when we went into Admin turned out to be total hogwash...

With all these new staff Does that mean Stuart Duffy will be surplus to requirements of the new regime?

Depends who's temporary and who's permanent.

I got one of the letters regarding claiming back for the season ticket from the credit card and that was signed by Stuart Duffy, General Manager, so he is involved in some capacity.

I will ask again is Damien Irvine involved?
Its better in my view to bring people in that have had nothing to do with failed incarnations of the Bulls,
Inc Duffy and Robbie Paul.
However bring in fresh thinking experienced managerial staff to take us forward.

If Irvine is involved permanently then I’d have expected him to be figuring prominently in press releases etc. If he is up at Odsal it may just be a temporary thing. I’d like to see him on board permanently as the club needs some fresh faces.

I think Duffy must be a reincarnation of Rasputin, bloody hard to kill off!

I think there's a saying for that particular circumstance - something about "throwing the baby out with the bathwater", I think?

There are any number of good people involved with the failed club - even ones in fairly high positions. Somehow, I doubt very much that either of the two you mention really had any great input into how the financial side of the business was run. You can't really start from scratch, or at least, imo you're making it extremely hard for yourself if you do, and it's pointless when there is such rugby expertise already at hand.

Frank has clearly licked his wounds and he doesn't deserve to be constantly reminded of that every time he posts!

I guess with all the turmoil at the club there had to be someone familiar with the "old" set up to assist setting up the "new". I must admit though I wasn't pleased to see Duffy swanning around outside the stand at the Keighley game in his club suit and tie. Whatever fate throws at the club he always appears to come up smelling of roses. I sincerely hope he's not on a big wage.

Like a cock roach in a nuclear blast? Lol

Spot on BB

Russ is the new Laura Hutchinson. Just had a chat with him about player sponsorship for next year. Sounds pretty competent.

Duffy or Frank or what ever he wants to be known as needs to explain =#FF0000<potentially libellous statement deleted>
