Leeds shouldn't have sued another club like that.

What a stupid post to make. Did you not read the statement and the reasons for such legal action?

Bradford had the choice to fight or give up. Leeds had acontract, Bradford tried to get round it and found they had broken it.

They fought and lost. Leeds just played the game well.



None of that is Leeds fault.

OK, how about we just pop accross and poach Roby from you and induce him to breach his contract. That, presumably is OK with you?

Interesting that the news of the Harris saga and subsequent monetary agreement is announced the same day as the redundancies - thereby deflecting most of the interest away.



That is all.......

You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time...

Agree with that.



Pity no one mentioned almost half a million we gave the Bulls for Fielden.

You can`t blame Leeds for this sorry mess , a lot of time money and effort was spent in engineering Harris away from Leeds. Harris as well knew he was doing wrong ,he broke an agreement in doing what he did. It wasn`t just the money they paid out to Leeds either Harris got a good share out too.Plus if I remember correctly at the time when Noble wanted Harris there was an arrangement with Wakefield to take 3 players to help pay for Harris one of whom was Robbie Whatsit Paul. The Bradford Club was cock a hoop and proclaimed Harris as a player despite not having a "signed agreement" with Wakefield who pulled out. I remember this as I attended the Presidents dinner in Leeds at the time where someone mentioned it on stage and everyone was gobsmacked. So you were stuck with the three players as well , Noble who had been on GB duty then went on holiday leaving everyone else to sort it out and although at least one was sorted somewhere else fairly quickly Robbie Paul was a good 18 months before he went to Huddersfield because he had just been given a new 4 or 5 yr contract on good money and I don`t think Huddersfields terms were as good .

The way I see it Harris, Noble and Robbie Paul should come back and give a hand out at the Club they have had some of the good let them help out with the bad.

It`s a sorry mess all round and as usual the fans are paying the price I`m afraid but I cannot see how anybody conected with running the Club can be left with any credability.

Quite. What were the figures Hood told you again?

Can we just be left to feeling like $hit with our own fans?

He told the fans the amount Leeds were originally claiming.



He never stated the amount of the settlement.



Happy to refresh your memory on those points.



He dropped out - and it was an accident - the all-up costs of the Harris debacle at the meeting we had with him before Easter. It was very close to a figure someone sort of dropped out a couple of years ago, again by accident. The legal and other costs were higher than the figure Coulby is current quoting in what looks to me like seriously disingenuous terms. The amount of the settlement itself is a little higher than I had worked out it had to be.



Does any of it matter any more? I never had you down for engaging in [ischadenfreude[/i. Disappointed in you.
