I would like your opinions on what is going on at bradford.

There seems to be a backlash against deacon, he kicked warrington out of the game when i was at odsal last year.

Your transfer policy seems to be, get rid of all star names and buy lots of players that are slightly better than average so that you can't tell the difference between them?

You will be in a better position to judge then me, whats your views?

We get to see the players weekly. It was a similar position when we lost Fielden. Most people were unhappy, not because he left but the manner of his leaving. At the time he had had only 2 or 3 decent games in the previous 18 months the WCC being the standout. I feel that Deacon is getting into a similar position. When he is godd he is very good but can a club with so little talent afford to carry him for the majority of mediocre games. I also think you are being very kind when you say we buy slightly better than average players otherwise there must be some real dross out there.

Whats going on is that we don't have a wealthy backer in the mould of a Moran to bankroll the club or deal with unexpected financial arisings; we have a very expensive old stadium we can't afford to run; we had a little local difficulty with our near-neighbours that could have bankrupted us (thanks Chris); and - I suspect from what we were told and anyway from looking at the squad - we have probably not used some of the offshore and similar schemes that got some clubs a lot more bang for your bucks but now also a visit from HMRC and claims of salary cap cheating.

Well as cover for FB/Centre and provided he's over his injury (let's not forget Feather seems to be doing very well at Cas now he's actually gotten fit). The only question that hangs over him is the jail time. If he's likely to go down then we should stay away.

You'd condone someone convicted of assaulting his estranged wife at the club?

Contract terminated? Warrington must be prepared to cut their losses for some reason. Maybe he's not getting over his injury or his recent troubles are an influence. I'd say it depends on those factors as to whether we should be interested.

Remember his case is sub judice until he's been sentenced so no speculation please folks.

I would definatley, he's better than Sheriffe and Halley.

How can you say that about a player who hasn't played for a year. If you don't want Hally he's welcome at wakey anytime!

How cant I say that, Ive seen him play for a number of years, the same as Ive seen Dave and Rikki play since they were both boys. And by the way, I do want to keep Dave.

I realise that we can't make any guesses on the outcome of the sentencing. However I'm going to do so anyway.

I think he is likely to be sentenced to death and hanged. Surely then he'll be willing to eat humble pie and play FB for us as a Zombie.

When you think about it, the resulting vacant expression and stumbling motion will be almost indistinguishable from our present players.

What a bloody pathetic stupid suggestion.

If he's gone down with a bad case of dead, he'll not need to eat - be it humble pie or anything else - will he??

I despair sometimes...

If he is a Zombie then its brains he will be eating.

He can start with Platt.
