OK then clever ar$e, let's say instead that the players aren't trying and are playing to get the coach the sack. Is that what you'd rather believe?

Well, "clever ar$e,", we know that on several occasions some of the players "aren't trying" as much as they should. How do we know this? Because other of the players have gone public and said so. Not that they needed to - we all have eyes - but when players state this as a fact, it sort of eliminates the need to be a "clever ar$e".

Moving on to whether they are doing this "to get the coach the sack", is a weird theory and you're the first exponent I've come across. So no, that isn't what I either believe, or would rather believe, for the record it sounds like a completely barking theory to me.

You should if they did, but they don't, so you aren't.

Given Bradford's unique population profile, wouldn't some Sheikh from Abu Dhabi be interested?

They've got some brass and there's a surfeit of places for 'em to eat.

Bradford Bactrians. Has a ring to it.

Of course his time is up. his time was up 2 years ago though and the club will continue to do absolutely nothing about it.

anything below 6th for this club is unacceptable, and thats pushing it. we are 12th, an absolute laughing stock, and Steve McNamara is to blame, because he doesn't have a bloody clue how to coach a Super League team, nevermind one as big as Bradford with such history and expectation.

We have done nothing but go backwards at an alarming rate ever since he got the job after Nobby was hounded out, and this is the price we are paying for it. dwindling crowds, a no hoper coach, with several below required standard players, a few of which are way over the hill, and wouldn't get in any other SL first team.

I don't want to say debacle but..

You're obviosuly upset but your rant is untrue.

What you are trying to do is to change history, everyone is upset at what has gone on this season so far, and we were not that much better than mid-table last year but finished 5th which is 3 places higher than the Warrington team being held up as a shining example of coaching currently occupy.

But before that, in 2006 we were 3rd or 4th when Noble left and stayed 4th all season. That after the loss of our "star" prop Fielden and our coach. In 2007 we started off well, and spent over the final half of the season in 3rd place, where we finished.

Now we're talking broad brush here, but how can any reasonable person call those years "going backwards at an alarming rate"? Seriously? I mean, try and be objective even if you can't be fair.

Think you're being a bit childish. It didn't seem anymore of a rant than some of you opinions.

In Macca 3 full seasons in charge, where he has made his signings we have gone backwards at an alarming rate.

07 - 3rd
08 - 5th
09 - 12th - ?

Yes, that is indeed an alarming rate.

I said No as we could mathematically make the playoffs. The point at which it is mathematically impossible for us to make the play offs his time will be up for me. I hope it's not this season but the bulls making playoffs this season looks about as likely as Jordan and Peter Andre getting divorced in a civilised and dignified private hearing.

Cant really agree with that logic. A few years back when it was still mathematicaly possible for us to stay up the chairman sacked the manager and appointed king kear - we won four of our last six including an away win at your place (in the days when you were decent) and we stayed up. If the chairman didnt act when he did we would have just continued being garbage and gone down.


Interesting that you mentioned Jordan in your post though - maybe macca will try to sign her - he did sign Sykes and Sherriffe who are without doubt the biggestTITS in Super League
