From the presence of under £50 on the club account in the summer of 2018 to Jake Webster's resignation as head coach after the first league game of the season a few days ago, there's always something dramatic about going on in BD21.
Even co-owner Ryan O'Neill compared the club to a “dysfunctional family” this week, so you have to trust him in his self-awareness.
I'm clearly not inside Kaley, so the comments I gave are based purely on observations from afar, but here's my view on the drama that has already involved the club in the first two months of 2025.
O'Neill and his co-owner's husband, Caue Garcia, get a lot of sticks, many of which I think are unfair and misguided.
We shouldn't compete “who's wrong” but the club was effectively skint under Gary Fawcett under £34.23, and then the very important Austrian holding took over, and soon was plagued by controversy.
Whatever your thoughts on O'Neill and Garcia's politics and views, they have a club on a much more stable footing than they had before they took over just six years ago.
The Cougars have received a great deal of support for trans rights, especially in the past few years.
If you're not homophobic to homosexuals, why is it okay to suddenly become transphobic?
I'm not talking about the trans-athlete turmoil, it's still a continuing discussion in sports, but purely against the rights of people who live in the bodies they want.
And the latest decision to see the Cougars come for abuse is a boycott of American products.
Millions of people around the world are vehemently opposed to Donald Trump's politics, and everyone has that opinion or other right.
It's a very harmless gesture from Kayley, but for some reason they've become open to all sorts of abuse and politics.
The Line and Garcia detractors, often run out by O'Neill, are to “stick to rugby league.”
Well, the Cougars were a very progressive club under their pair in 2022, becoming the third team to complete a “invincible” season during the summer days of the British Rugby League.
No one could accuse them of taking their eyes off the rugby league ball as O'Neill and Garcia invested heavily on the side to help them achieve that feat.
Frankly, their support for marginalized groups and boycotting certain organizations was not correlated with pitch performance.
But I certainly believe O'Neill and Garcia have made some suspicious decisions about the team over the past two years.
After a fierce defeat to Sheffield, the plundering Rhys Love Grove felt a kneel at the time when the Cougars had won five of their first 11 matches at the Betfred Championship after the promotion.
Love Glove has moved on to coach Super League side London and Hal KR, but the lack of proper succession planning meant the unfortunate Zimel Coleman had been in charge that summer for a long time.
The Cougars were too late to eventually appoint Matt Foster. Matt Foster would have kept them if he had been brought in a few weeks ago and adjusted towards the end of the season.
He had the league 1 top last July as Foster is a club legend as a player and no one really criticized him for relegating the Cougars.
However, he was fired from Blue and the club claims he and the director of Rugby Webster are clashing with something like a transfer.
Now call me old school, but certainly should the head coach have the final say on that?
And given that Webster has been in charge for nine months and, frankly, has a much worse record than Foster, it seems fair to suggest that Keighley made a big mistake last summer.
Sometimes, the Cougars don't help themselves either. This week's club statement has resigned Webster and O'Neill from holding the door responsible for “social media toxicity.”
To be clear, when Webster talks about protecting himself and his family, personal abuse and threats are completely unacceptable and dishonorable by either O'Neill or Garcia.
But “Social Media Toxicity” about the outcome and players is a completely fair game, with a 72-12 defeat to York in the Challenge Cup and a 44-0 league defeat to the absolute pathetic Rochdale from Webster and his players.
The Cougars fight back legitimately with some of the criticism they got, and it crosses the line too often.
But sometimes they may be able to learn to take one or two things on the chin.
