    Yet Manchester City's case is going on for years, maybe its easier to deal with clubs like Everton and Forrest, I accept neither should have broken rules but it appears your megga clubs may get more leniency that the likes the above.
    Unfortunately as we know with regards or recent past history its always the fans who pay one way or another.

    Owned by a country mate and too powerful and far harder to prosecute.
    I think they will deduct them 10 points for next season, which will not have any effect at all.

    It could cost them the Premiership Trophy buy hay who gives a sh1t they miss out for once, it does look that way with regards who you are not what you've done.

    Blowing in the wind and yes, still in Spain which is colder and wetter than Wetherby. Sun today, first time for a week, looking forward to tropical Bradford on Saturday.

    My husband has just been talking about how poor our team is. He says that the basics are not there. Passing to a player in the same shirt; can’t head a ball; no position awareness of themselves or their team mates or the opposition, unable to read the game. We know we are in league2, but the basics should be natural to professional. Fitness, our squad never seems ready, @Bantam-in-Greece@Bantam-in-Greece mentioned not being ready to go and I agree.

    Can't wait for us to appoint Billy Clarke or something.

    Gary Jones, Felipe Morais, I don't think we should get too hung up on who comes in, yes, they're going to be new to the position, yes, they're going to be inexperienced, but the question is, do they have the understanding and ability to oversee the implementation of all of the key attributes the club has lacked since Lawn left.

    I don't even think the task required is that especially difficult, it's just that Sparks is making it look like the toughest job in the world.

    My mention of Clarke was a lighthearted joke more than anything, Jon.

    Anyone coming in is a positive step forward for me.

    We just get our learning and inspiration from those running the club, how many times have we brought an old face back?

    For what it’s worth I don’t disagree with you, any role filled should be done with a proper and extensive recruitment process and not someone we know. That said this club has form for it so Jon will probably be close to the mark (only a slight joke).

    The first item to be addressed is the appointment of a CEO. Someone who has experience of running a football club. Unfortunately we have an owner who is not interested in undertaking decisions regarding the actual running of the club, possibly like some of the owners of Premier League teams. However they make sure that the person who is in charge is knowledgeable about how to run a club and is capable of making it successful. If he is not successful then he is replaced. That person makes a decision as to how the club should function and appoints a manager who will perform along these lines. Recruiting staff will also be appointed with instructions as to what type of player should be identified. If the Owner/CEO wishes to have a DOF alongside the CEO to assist regarding the footballing aspect then someone is appointed. The fault at City is there is only one person who appears to have any responsibility is a person who was in charge of the commercial activity of a small Rugby League team, was brought in the take over the commercial activity at VP and then was given the job of CEO without any knowledge as to how to do the job.

    As long as it's not one of Ryan's mates.

    Or someone he met last week. We know how Ry loves to avoid the interview process.

    I wasn't even suggesting it should be those guys, lol

    There must be a bunch of professionals studying the sport at a high level. Let's just avoid Featherstone, eh?
