To be fair to Green - I like his statement!

Just need the players to roll up their sleeves now!

Am I missing the point somewhere. People blaming Jimmy, People Blaming Ferres. People blaming Green. People blaming Smith. I personally would like to hear someone higher up saying "You know what, the players performed awful. It was their fault". However, when my Grand kids say why did Bradford RL go out of business, I can respond that its my fault I just didn't drink enough beer.

Yes, you're missing the point. You need to park this season and be grateful Green is up for another crack, because if not for him, whatever you want to say about this season, we would effectively now be dead. Yet he says if we keep coming then we have a new year and a full time team. If you don't buy into that then that's your choice. I've said my bit about the debacle of 2016 and now I am just relieved we can look forward. I don't blame anyone for being disillusioned, and just hope enough keep the faith.

The club need to either bring in more income commercially or sort out the on field issues. Constantly repeating 'if you want success you'll have to pay for it' isn't working and as you mentioned what happens if fifty percent of support base decide they've had enough?

There will never be a shortage of fans that want an owner to match THIER ambitions with HIS money , I've seen it at Leigh , I've seen it posted countless times on these boards

I remember seeing the opinions passed on this board a couple of years ago of your previous owner and his million pound ' investment ' , I was disgusted with some of them

I regret that Mr Green will most likely suffer similar now , for doing nothing other than tipping money in , doing his best and telling it like it is

Exactly

Most of yesterday, once the gloating rumour generators had gained momentum, I couldn't think straight for worrying we were going to disappear.

They love it don't they, specially the likes of Ratty Schofield.

That statment needed to be made and its a good one as far as I am concerned.

Ross Heppenstall described it as a "diatribe" - so whats his problem then? There is nothing there that did not need to be said.

As for the abuse of Directors and drinks in the face of a player - just not on..

So yes - I am more than grateful to Marc Green for keeping the club going.

I did not intent to watch the pointless shield games - but on the back of that statement - I will go to them all now just to put my money in and continue my support.

So we need to park this season (even though it is only July). And we need to park last season because we got to the MPG, despite the fact that a lot of the performances dire. And we had to park the season before because we had a six point deduction for going into administration. I daresay you are expecting to say that we really can't expect much next season as there will be so many new players that they need time to play together. We may as well park that.

God, I'm terrible at parking as well.

Re: Marc Green : Wed Jul 27, 2016 8:25 am  

I like Green, and agree with most of his comments. I think a lot of us would be more onside if someone would just own up and say, "Yes we got some things wrong, particularly with some signings, and the scrum half debacle" However its done now. Will be there for the next home match, daft as a brush but still supporting, and might I add, grateful to Marc Green for keeping my club going.
