Mick Potter waves goodbye to Bradford Bulls
7:00am Friday 14th September 2012 in Bulls By Sports Desk
Mick Potter admits the tumultuous last five months have taken their toll
Bulls coach Mick Potter has revealed he is leaving the club and returning home to Australia.
Potter, who joined the club on a two-year deal from St Helens, has won praise for the way he galvanised his team under adversity after the Bulls entered administration and for agreeing to work on a voluntary basis after the entire coaching staff was made redundant.
Potter said: “I was always going to return to Australia and I feel that now is the right time for me to go and I have recommended Francis Cummins as my successor.
“He has worked with me throughout my time at the club and in my opinion will become a very good first-team coach.
“I have enjoyed my time at the Bulls and the supporters and people at the club are second to none.
“I feel too that, despite circumstances beyond our control, the team, through the rugby league we played, showed a lot of character in the midst of terrible adversity.
“(New owners) Omar Khan and Gerry Sutcliffe have come in and rescued the club and were keen for me to stay for a longer tenure and I made it clear to them that my decision has nothing to do with their purchase of the club. It has been the things that have happened over the previous five months that have caused my decision.
“I will be watching Bradford Bulls with a lot of interest from Australia and it goes without saying that I wish them every success in the future.”
Khan and Sutcliffe issued a joint statement.
It read: “We are sorry Mick has chosen to leave because we wanted him to stay longer with us after the tremendous job he has done in difficult circumstances. “He leaves with the best wishes of everyone at the club and we wish him well in the future.
“We hope to be able to announce a new coach early next week.”

I just hope that the hard work that Mick and the rest of the coaching staff is undone by dragging out this will they/ won't they be in Super League next season.

Good luck to you Mick. You are a true gentleman with the way you helped the bulls these last 4 months and you won't be forgotten.

Defensively we have still had problems and it seems like a very high percentage of our handling errors have been punished. The coach cannot do anything about that. Good look to him and sincere thanks for seeing the season out and giving us hope almost to the end. Easily the best season since Noble left although I think that Noble being in the background throughout this fiasco could be one of the reasons behind this decision,
Thanks to mick for all the hard work you have given to the club. You have bonded the team well during hard times this season and shown great dignity in these turbulent times. All the best to you and your family
Thanks Mick, enjoy whatever you do.

“What I hope for if I’m not there is that they don’t get some old person, or people, who have been at the organisation before,” said Potter.
“I hope they don’t get someone who has stuck in behind the scenes and tried to manipulate the whole scenario to a degree in order to benefit themselves.
“I hope they go with a young coach who wants to move forward and wants a challenge – not an old has-been.”

I personally don't believe anything other than some folk trying to start a smear campaign against noble because they feared their jobs were in jeopardy as noble is proven, he can bring back the glory days to odsal, noble can steer bulls back to the bull mania era, just look at his cv, it speaks volumes!

I recall Leeds were disappointed to lose Cummins to us at the time, so they spotted his potential and if Mick says he is the man to do it then I wouldn't argue with that.
Sad to hear this, he's been a great head coach and I hoped he'd be staying but clearly Mick had made his mind up. Best of luck to him and thanks for digging in despite everything that was happening.
This may not be popular but I think Cummins is still a bit young, we had an untried coach after Nobby and it was a disaster. I say bring Nobby in, as a kind of director of rugby figure, to work with Cummins for a year or two.

The greatest of all coaces were 'untried' at some point in their career. The chances of Nobby returning to the club are zero after he was accused by so many of jumping on the bandwagon when he offered his help and the club simply can't afford another top coach.

Thank you Mr Potter for all you have done and, like many others, which you and your family every success in your future endeavours.
Mr Cummins is in prime position but, as some have said, untried in SL. However, SL status is not guaranteed so debating that is moot. SL or the championship, I would like to see Nobby back at Odsal be it as first-team coach, assistant coach or director of rugby, whichever is the best for club and person. Regardless is the choice of Mr Khan, we must get behind all involved at the club, in fund-raising and in support. The RFL are continuing to achieve their aims of seeing the Bulls stripped bare and unable to compete in SL, making their already preformed plan of dumping us into the Championship that much easier.

On the subject of MP he was a hero for the way he coped these last 5 months, if there is any justice in this world he will be honoured as coach of the year.

Why do you all accept this situation, the talking should always be done on the pitch not by business/BskyB men with vested interests.
Can't believe you have a zombie like acceptance of this situation, I jacked in after BFD Northern got dropped and summer rugby came in.

I agree with Murphy's law that there is the sense that we will be in the Championship nxt season. Reckon there has possibly been a hint.
The RFL have dragged the last couple of months out to the nth degreem we have been unable to sign or re-sign players, leaving us in the position of the realistic prospect of having a squad not suitable or sustainable in SL and without the proper financial means to build one capable of competing. OK do not have the money, they have said this.
Cummins ideal man for the job regardless of us being in SL or not!
I, like everyone else just want this all done with please once and for all, if we are in championship, so be it, but just put us, the players, etc, out of our misery so we can move on as one!COYB

Again back to the T&A story. Does anybody think Lee StHillaire should be kept on, I think he has had enough time and should be shown the door, we need a defensive coach as well as a MP replacement. If it`s FC maybe his brother in law Disko could do it.

If they haven't already done so, I would imagine a lot of the out of contract players will prob be looking elsewhere, and those contracted also. The players will feel the loss of Potter badly, the bond these guys have had since this mess began has been there for all to see. There was a real "one for all, and all for one" feel about the place, and now the top man has had his fill and gone, and rightly so too. All the best to Potter and thanks for everything you have done! Players will follow him out of Odsal now.

1 year probation means nothing. If we stay out of administration or don’t breach the quota rules then how on earth can they kick us out when they didn’t now? Same with the next round of licences. No more misdemeanours and we will walk into a new three year licence. We did it 1 year ago while we were on the brink of bankruptcy. Rugby league is unfortunately broke and running on the fumes of profit so we will be fine as long as Mr Khan runs a tight ship. How long will it be though before people start coming on here with those comments we always get about when are we going to sign half of the Ausie test side. Forget that from now on. We will cut our cloth accordingly which will mean building the youth policy and picking up quality lesser known players both from here and down under. Chequebook signings have gone possibly for ever. It’s up to us now to support the youth set up. Everyone should join Bull builder and be proud of bringing the young lads through rather than wanting to sign expensive has-beens. A few years of hard work ahead now!

Not sure if others have seen it yet, but just read the SL website and they have given us a 12mth place in Superleague so at long last we can at least we can sure there will be rugby at Odsal next year. Whatever the side looks like I'll be there, lets face it I used to go when there were only a few thousand and we never seemed to win anything, I doubt it will ever get as bad as it was then and the one thing that we can say is that we are truely loyal to the players and club through thick (ex directors?) and thin (silver wear collections). Long live the bulls!
AND....
The Bulls website is on its way back! hip hip hooray...living miles away (as good as the T&A website is) its hard to get all the gossip, facts etc the website used to provide quickly. So please hurry up Mr/Mrs Webmaster/mistress.

FAKE, if we're you, thank god I'm not, I would be more worried about loosing your relief on council tax. Than baiting Bulls supporters.

I personally don't believe anything other than some folk trying to start a smear campaign against noble because they feared their jobs were in jeopardy as noble is proven, he can bring back the glory days to odsal, noble can steer bulls back to the bull mania era, just look at his cv, it speaks volumes!
Yes well done Mick.
You have worked without pay as Brian offered in the crisis.
And once back from holiday and realising he was upsetting an old friend by trying to help CC save the Bulls he very publically in interview with Ross withdrew.
Only for Mick to serve as his parting short such bitterness.
Mick has not worked such miracles with players on as much as they were.
In fact 2011 was dire was it not.
I think most working forward will be offered little.
because as Omar says he cannot do it without everyones help.
He does not even have to find 100k of his Bulls purchase money till 2015.
He has so far had to stump £150k.
And yes there is a £400k 5pc loan offer from good old Bradford Council.
who gave the Bulls £5 million of taxpayer money just 10 years ago squandered.
So expect frugality.
Omar is not Roman.
Roman is not Omar
Bradford is not Mayfair and the Bulls brand is not Chelsea.
Lets hope the great work of Bullbuilder continues and more John Batemans are found

1 year probation means nothing. If we stay out of administration or don’t breach the quota rules then how on earth can they kick us out when they didn’t now? Same with the next round of licences. No more misdemeanours and we will walk into a new three year licence. We did it 1 year ago while we were on the brink of bankruptcy. Rugby league is unfortunately broke and running on the fumes of profit so we will be fine as long as Mr Khan runs a tight ship. How long will it be though before people start coming on here with those comments we always get about when are we going to sign half of the Ausie test side. Forget that from now on. We will cut our cloth accordingly which will mean building the youth policy and picking up quality lesser known players both from here and down under. Chequebook signings have gone possibly for ever. It’s up to us now to support the youth set up. Everyone should join Bull builder and be proud of bringing the young lads through rather than wanting to sign expensive has-beens. A few years of hard work ahead now!
No more expensive aussie has or never was beens.
Build with Bullbuilder.
Bring back Nobby to oversea that long term development plan.

This may not be popular but I think Cummins is still a bit young, we had an untried coach after Nobby and it was a disaster. I say bring Nobby in, as a kind of director of rugby figure, to work with Cummins for a year or two.
