    You certainly make everybody aware when you get something correct. What about those many many times when you are just wrong or just flip-flop to keep your options open? Maybe we should keep a long list of those examples?

    As a recent example, what about the post you made earlier today saying that players didn't find out whether they are released or retained until June 23rd? No, EFL clubs have to inform players every season on the 3rd Saturday in May about whether they will be released or offered a new contract. That's a month earlier than you said previously. You were obviously getting your information from your mate Ryan Sparks in the T&A who made the same mistake and quoted the same date as you. That'll teach ya! ;)

    Yes I aver to your knowledge. Why didn’t you mention that Zeli had another year? ;)

    You knocked Reeves given his Long standing injury, yet he has made more appearances this season than Ismail!

    If Ismail can keep fit I think he would thrive under stuart. However, that's a huge if.

    Wishful thinking, he disappeared of the face of the earth this season.

    So that leaves 1 GK, 2 LB, 5 CB, 0 RB, 0 CM, 2 W and 4 ST. I would maybe have kept Reeves & McCartan on but not surprised we've let them 10 go.

    I trust Stuart to build a team capable of challenging promotion, especially with how many clubs will have next to no money in the bank. Will be interesting to see how it all unfolds in the next few months.

    Who is to say we have money?

    Highly doubt we will be signing players until next season is fully confirmed and when.

    I believe both Donaldson and Zeli would've gone also.

    Zeli has been a poor signing but him and Donaldson should be buying their agent a drink when they see him because Bradford City got done over.

    Reeves was always leaving either way.

    There’ll be some very good players released from all levels this summer. Some of those players might see Bradford city as their best option. We should be able to pick up some real bargains now that we’ve released all the high earning crap.
    I’d start with bring Connolly back.
    Stuart can get Vaughan back onside with a decent strike partner.

    McCall should be able to sort midfield out he played that position long enough.

    We're still awaiing to see the receipt from "The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation" for the bet he had with me and @Offcomedun@Offcomedun with regards Reeves not making the starting 11 before Christmas, for a sucsefull businessman it's a little embarrassing.

    Zeli looks decent, but the fact his season went to the pattern predicted by @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler and his conversation with someone at Walsall tells you everything you need to know.

    Extremely poor value signing.

    Clayton I think is worth keeping, although I'm not sure he 'earned' another season. Hopefully he isn't on huge wages........

    And I was correct at the time, but he did not improve under Bowyer now show us the receipt, that's if you paid up.

    Imagine Lee Catermole & James Vaughan in the same starting 11.
