New CEO?

C'mon Hunty you cocktease, who've you heard?

 

The forum would implode on itself

 

As always you make a lot of good points Fordy but boy are you negative!
I just hope any City supporters with depression issues don't log into this forum because if they did they could well end up on suicide watch after reading some of your posts.I
I actually saw this coming because of Rupp being an owner who is the total opposite of Rahic when it comes to getting involved in the day to day running of the club. Having heard Sparks talk I thought he might get the job.
Yes he is inexperienced but seems ambitious, both for himself and the club. We will have to see what he comes up with in the future. Yes he may have got his first decision wrong in extending McCall's contract, only time will tell.
Hopefully some of the contracted players will be looking for January exits.

 

Corrie not on? Get in the real world.

I've a good word about Jamie on BBC Leeds radio..Great at interviewing.

 

So you admitting to yourself that Rupp is worse than Rahic? That's a start then.
You admitting offering McCall a new contract when Bradford are in 20th in Div 2?

Look, Rhodes had to go but he is more than likely consultant getting paid.

It all stinks mate! I will get over the smell but I am not happy.

 

What's wrong with Abbott? (now Rahic has gone).

 

I believe one of his first jobs after arriving at Notts County was to sign Chicksen. Nuff said.

 

I didn't say Rupp was worse than Rahic Fordy. I said he was the exact opposite. Rahic got too involved in the football side of things whereas Rupp shows no or very little interest.
I'm with you in that we need to find someone to buy him (or his investors) out.
My brother lives in Germany and told me that Rupp is a very wealthy, successful respected businessman but is not known for throwing money around. A bit like my brother actually, always having trouble finding the bar!

 

Maybe Abbo reailses Chicksen;s at his level playing for Notts County.

 

I’ve not been McCall’s biggest fan and that’s been done to death but I don’t think that’s a reason to write Sparks off.

Opportunist suggests taking advantage of someone or something, that’s a stupid statement to make here, it’s just a job. Good on him for showing ambition.

like I say though, time will tell.

 

If McCall isn't a reason to write Sparks off, Sparks is definitely a good reason to write Rupp off.

 

It looks like Sparks has been lined up for this job for a while as he was attending meetings representing the club when the league formulated plans for the new season. I thus have two worries;

1) we were wet behind the ears when it came to the transfer cap. The likes of Salford and Bolton did their business early and got players in on the 1.3k pw rate, not their true (higher) wages.

This has hamstrung the club as we didn’t land many of our supposed targets. Anyone other than Watt? We’ve taken the easy route scouting wise and resigned players we are familiar with and made a few panic loans to fill up numbers already swollen by making several youth lads seniors. It’s all been done laissez faire, on the cheap.

Had McCall even heard of Samuels before we played Wolves in the Pizza Trophy?

2) Sparks said James Vaughan wouldn’t leave without the club receiving ‘significant compensation’. A few weeks later he left on a free.

Doesn’t inspire much confidence that he’s running the show now and responsible for transfer dealings.

I don’t doubt he’s hardworking, passionate and enthusiastic. But this is a baptism of fire and he’s been chucked under a bus by Rupp and Rhodes.

 

Don't be silly man, having square ones is an honour. Only teams that have won the fa cup can have square ones.

 

Nooo triangle ones mr grant

 

I thought Rupp was a reason to write Rupp off Jon! It’s sure grim right now, though did u expect anything else today from that shower.

 

Wrong way round.

 

Has anyone else heard Lennie Lawrence in to help McCall?

 

At Stevenage isn’t he?
