It says in the latest press release regarding funding for the stand, that it will be partly funded by some of the £33M Keighley Town funding. Do you know if this is the money which has already been agreed? There was 2.25m awarded to the foundation which was far as I know comes out of that 33m. I've not seen anything else on the numbers so I'm making an assumption there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team manager has also left recently who was at the club for a long time Your ex-media guy has tweeted the club is a circus hence why he left Luke Gale leaving Does feel like something is going on behind the scenes at the Cougars.

Mr Hicks Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 All Rhys ever said was "Trust the process" so let's "Trust the process" If the owners get it wrong so be it but from what I can make out they are successful in business so let's move on to the next chapter.

Dovster Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I think the expectation of the fans was to stay up this season and that currently is being met. However the owners have invested heavily and the team are not meeting their expectations. Difficult decisions have to be made and the owners have shown they are willing to make them. My only fear is that we have tried to move too quickly and not left time to consolidate our position. I can understand why the decision has been made as long as we have a plan b.

Mr Hicks Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I have seen the email that is being sent out. When you have the second highest playing budget in the league after Fev then our league position is a failure. Maybe it is naivety on the directors part paying such high wages but I presume it was the coach who brought the players in. Ioane and Doyle are probably the only 2 signings that are what I would call earning there money. Crooks doesn't have a good quality centre inside him, Walker not outstanding to say he has dropped down from Super league, Sid just doing a job which I've seen teams have players who are better. If I owned the club and was pumping vast amounts of money in I would want to see results as well and certainly want to see us at least compete with the higher placed teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I owned the club and was pumping vast amounts of money in I would want to see results as well and certainly want to see us at least compete with the higher placed teams I am quite surprised you believe what you have apparently read. Do all directors of all the other clubs have intimate knowledge of other payments to players at other clubs? It just needs the return of Jack Miller... They won at Whitehaven then lost at home. Earlier in the season they lost back to back.Why wasn't the sacking done then? They were still,allegedly,on the second highest playing budget in the league,at that time. How does a head coach control what directors wish to pay out to players? Perhaps paying a head coach the second highest in the league may make him more accountable. Perhaps paying a head coach the second highest in the league for going the extra mile way beyond his responsibilities as a coach may have been fairer. I take it the next appointment will be an experienced head coach? Perhaps the club should stop giving out so much information to members of the public about whom they know nothing about.Unless it's just misinformation for the gullible. Perhaps I owe Andrew Henderson an apology... 2 No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBull Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 The Doctor has left as well. That’s someone from all areas now - medical, coaching, senior player, team manager. There has to be a common issue, likely with the owners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have been told the owners were very positive and supported by the fans that turned up. Jy-Mel Coleman is stepping up to be interim Head Coach with Buster stepping in to help. Jake Webster is taking over as Director of Rugby. Certainly a win this sunday would go along way to restoring belief amonst the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongStandingBull Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 As much as we have the rivalry, I’d genuinely hate ANY other team to go through the mismanagement Bradford fans have had to suffer. Sounds like Doyle is doing well for you which is good to hear but silly money was thrown at him. Imagine he’s not the only one. Currently not looking good for Keighley with this exodus. We at Bradford know better than most what owners can spin in statements and fan forum. Best of luck (apart from on the pitch against us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck (apart from on the pitch against us) TBF I think Keighley could probably match the Bulls regarding dodgy owners. I am an optimist (I think you need to be following RL) and I don't think things are as bad as some clearly do. I hope I'm right. I think the owners spent big thinking there was a chance of SL. Although I don't think they were thinking of this year. Doyle just gets better and better. Thank you for your kind sentiments - I hope you still feel the same after we hammer you on Sunday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
