The big question now has to be if Mike Forshaw has also left the club.

It will be very interesting in MM brings in his own fitness conditioner.

Arise mr Hampson, the gig is yours.

The article where Lenagan slammed Noble for not having the players fit enough was interesting so i'd guess Nobles mate will be down the road aswell.

Lenagan pointed out what everyone on here has pointed out in that what the hell were the coaching staff and fitness conditioning team doing allowing a couple of players to be so overweight!!

They obviously couldn't watch them for every minute of every day but Noble should have threatened a couple of players with the axe unless they sorted their fitness out.

If certain players turn up for next year in the same shape as this year they shouldn't be near the first team until they've got their acts together.

Another top class Prop signed up by one of our rivals! Can't believe we did not make a move to re-sign Sculthorpe, starting to have my doubts already about this new coach!

Bradford really are a fading force.

I'm genuinally saddened by the state of Bradford at the moment.

What makes you think that Steve Hampson is any better than Mike Forshaw?

He got Darren Clarke down to 15stone and fit enough to drive around a golf course on a buggy so he must be blinding

So Forshaw is the only one still left standing, Pendelbury's gone Veivers has gone and of course Noble has gone so now were just waiting for the axe to fall on Forshaw.

Look's as though were having a complete overall of staff that many of us wanted, any word on when McGuire's arriving?

Lenagan said mid november for the start of pre season in an interview somewhere.

Me to, living in the West Yorkshire area I've always had a soft spot for Bradford and too see them as they currently are is a real shame.

It just seems to be getting worse and worse for them.

Agreed the notion that someone like Hampson should come in would not even be mentioned were it not for the fact he was an ex player of the club.

The jobs for the boys mentality is one I hoped we had moved away from, we need the best that our funds can bring in, not an ex player with a HND in PE (maybe a bit harsh but you get the point).

Jonh, that was the point I was making. As much as I liked Hampo as a player I'm not convinced he would be any better a conditioner than Forshaw is now.

MM has "form" as a conditioner himself so maybe it's better that he passes on that knowledge to Forshaw or we look "outside the game" for someone new.
