    I'm guessing the strategy being that if we kill the grass off we don't have to pay someone to cut it. Respect is due.

    But the pressure on the relegated teams, must be all-consuming. All four teams that got relegated were all expected to be in the top half - it isn't as though, they were poor clubs. That leads to an over-bearing expectation, the following season

    We've lost one in ten and a lot feel that the manager must be sacked, as I said last season those vibes permeate on to the pitch

    I read the Scunny boards before our match and they make ours look like they've been written by some kind of positive spin group!! MInd you, they are severely in the doo doo - but as some of us cautioned at the beginning of the 17/18 season, spending money on ageing players can only go one way unless you get promotion and they have simply been reckless

    He's taking the piss out the fans now with these sort of comments. He is really losing the plot.

    "I always look at the positives and from going 2-0 up back to 2-2, I’ve seen teams rock and then they concede a third.

    “But the lads responded and went again and tried to get the winner. We’ve got to dust ourselves down."

    He's lost the plot. The players look as clueless as him. The coaching is nothing short of pathetic. No game plan, no strategy. The arrogance that he thinks he can say this sort of stuff as well knowing the fans will be wound up about it. He's bad news. The sooner he goes, the sooner this club will get back on track. Wasted a massive chance for some silverware this year and go for the title. There's been no one to fear all season yet we've played all season with a turtle's head in our y fronts right from August.

    I've been a keen fan of Bowyer and stuck up for him with some of the flak but he deserves absolutely no protection now, it's the same thing every fcking week. Sort of summed City up when a striker who's done nothing but score all season has a great chance at 2-2 and he hits it into row Z.

    We won't go up playing like this and we are free falling very quickly.

    To be replaced by who? Bear in mind he is contracted until next summer so you need to pay him off, so thats no money for players this January.

    There's load of options out there, here's a list...

    Nathan Jones
    Steve Cotterill
    Brian McDermott
    Paul Tisdale

    Just a few names I wouldn't mind seeing at City.

    Julian Rhodes strikes again. Did nothing at the back end of last season to earn that length of contract. We ended up in a worse position he took us backwards. No wonder GB is showing the arrogance he is as he's got the board by the bollocks. Will be a disgrace if he sees out his contract.

    There is really no ambition from the board..Thinking cheap season tickets will make us happy..NO we want a Manager with a brain GUMPTION and a team who give everything on that pitch
    Bowyer has lost the fans and Rhodes pipe dream of 20k season tickets will not be achieved under this clueless Twit
    Get Neil Warnock or Nathan Jones.2 managers with a footballing brain and GUMPTION

    Yes pay him off
    Show him the door
    If played correctly we have the players capable of automatic promotion
    This is a VERY poor league and we have 2 strikers any other team in this division would kill for
    Whoever we replace him with cant play any worse our league position is false compared to our performances and i feel we are about to be found out
    To be fair one thing any new manager needs his own backroom staff !!!!!!!

    Mate, Bowyer isn't the only manger out there.

    For me we just urgently need a new RB but we have the squad.

    I honestly feel if we don't replace Bowyer we will all regret this season and see it as a waste. It will be a season of what if!

    Mansfield recently when out and got the manager from Bristol Rovers. Why can't we go out and get a manager from another club. Go get Wellens if we think he's the man.

    Nathan Jones is available.

    Maybe, the players need a manger they can look up too a respect what they did on the pitch like a Nolan, Kewell or Keane.

    Warnock and McCall are both available.

    We need a manager with a clear blueprint for the future.

    I question Rhodes finding a new manager because Bowyer just hasn't worked and giving him a 2 year contract was always a mistake. It seems Rhodes thinks about who he can work with rather than who can take the club forward.

    Gary Bowyer isn't the right man for the club and we need to get rid now.

    Bradford City has no football identity. If we stick with Bowyer then Rhodes must go also!

    Rhodes - mistake after mistake over the years overseen a team from the premiership down to basement league he should be nowhere near the club.

    can we afford NOT to sack cliche man Bore-yer, season tickets will be down a few thou if things dont change.

    he cant be on a fortune surely?
