    Yep. Stuart had targeted Kai Bruncker for years I heard.
    He was desperate to add Lachlan Barr to his ranks aswell.

    Lachlan Barr was development squad.
    Let’s try another tack
    Here is a question for you an honest answer please
    In his two spells McCall spent roughly the same amount of time as manager as Parky.
    Which manager achieved most for Bradford city and before you talk about budgets Stuart had the best budget in the league the second season of his first spell

    it's like comparing apples and pears.
    worked under completely different owners, at a different time, with different constraints.

    and Barr might have been "development" (at 24 years old, ffs) but the fact is Stuart and his staff said no. then he was signed anyway.

    In this instance you are wrong. Even Abbott admitted at the fans forum that he didnt have the say on Tyrell Robinson, me and Ricc were there.

    I'm just making it up because I'm bitter and have a vendetta though.

    Dodging the Question then who achieved more. I seem to remember on e season Parky had to start a season with trialist because he didn’t have a budget . Which Manager did more for the club

    Whilst it’s true that the vast majority will never set foot inside those suites, I think you are missing the point. It’s the fact that the owner is trying to remove any recollection from our past great players. McCall delivered, as best he could, for Rahic and he treats his ‘legend’ status as something you simply discard.

    Put another way, if you had a child and you named him after someone special in your life (father, grandfather etc), but then divorced the child’s mother. Wouldn’t you be hurt if she then took action to change that child’s name just to spite you? Is this any different?

    Rahic is clearly ‘divorcing’ himself from McCall and wants all memories of him wiping, regardless of what he has done for this club and what the paying public interest think of him

    if Stuart had been afforded the same patience and time when in a poor run that Parky was we might be able to have this debate. sadly he got fired after a handful of poor games.

    Parky was picking up points even though we weren’t winning. And he had just won us promotion the year before

    Strange how this "Secret Bantam" has caused so much controversy yet nobody knows who he/she is ?.

    Well the season before this McCall had got us closer to the championship than we’ve been since administration.
