McCall IN/OUT (with new Poll)

Baldwin will only come as CEO if there is an option to buy clause in there somewhere

 

Is that fact or opinion mate?

 

I hadn’t seen that Rupp had said that, just that the appointment would be later in the season

 

It wasn't Rupp that said it, Rhodes said he'd identified his successor, but Rupp had asked him to wait for a while before appointing him.

 

This won’t be popular but it’s probably likely that Rhodes is training up Ryan Sparks in the next few weeks and Rupp wants him up to speed before Rhodes departs. It’s the only explanation I can think of for the reason of a delay.

 

Slightly off topic but is their a chance that McCall the manager is doing damage to McCall the player?

I try to separate the two but I just had a conversation with a seasoned City fan whom was scathing of him in his management role, not (IMO) giving enough credits for his playing role. Crux of his thinking was McCall the manager is doing more damage to the club than McCall the player, did for the club.

For the record, I don't agree.

 

McCall will always be a legend here

I understand why Rhodes brought him back but the damage it will do the club in Covid times is massive. We are already seeing the effects of I Follow switch off already.

 

The damage doing it that way is massive..Huge in these time!

 

That might suit Rupp and be worth a delay
in appointing anyone Rhodes may have lined
up.I think if Baldwin came on board as an owner
and CEO that would be great in my opinion.

 

The way the club is atm if Julian is leaving we need a CEO who hasn’t just been in business but has been successful in the FOOTBALL world re the running of a club from top to bottom so can look at all the present personnel in every department and sort out accordingly . Bradford City needs to be put back on the map and quick

 

That would be a disaster!! Seriously, If Rupp does that I am done with him.

The reason I can see for a delay is McCall! A new CEO isn't going to want to come in a sack him straight away, so it makes sense waiting to see how McCall does then if it's poorly Rhodes will have to get rid.

 

End of season so we all get full of optimism and buy season tickets again. New hope yadda yadda yadda

 

Or the fact that watching on i follow is asolutely dreadfull. Single camera angle and the awfull Andy Kiwomya, add to that its league 2 football . The best salesman in the world would struggle to sell this dead duck.

 

Struggle to get people to watch it if it was free.

 

This is true but the issue will be to get fans back and fans won't come back in numbers if we continue as we have started this season.

 

We need to be a professional organisation on and off the field

 

You might be right , but having watched city for over 40 years . I am hardened to it and used to paying for sub standard products , the joys of following a lpwer league football team. Its in my blood.

 

Yeah i'm in the same boat. I'll be watching on Tuesday to see which manager is getting grief after the game.
