    Interesting interview with Aaron McLean on this podcast, talking about his time at Bradford and how Phil Parkinson treated him.



    From 46 Minutes 55 seconds in.

    Accuses Parkinson of trying to ruin his and Ollie Mcburnies career...

    lol. Was it Harry Redknapp who once said Emile Heskey was the only player he'd seen who could trap a ball 10 yds

    I think Ron Atkinson beat him to that one when he said 'Carlton Palmer can trap a ball further than I can kick it'.

    Surely there has to be another side to this story?

    Apart from him not being able to control a football or score any goals I can't think of any other reason for him to be dropped and shipped out of the club. Can you?

    " He's One Of Our Own"

    One of a very large number of False Number Nine's that City love to sign.
    Played up-front as a target man.
    McLean is approx 5 feet 2.
    Never going to work.

    If you look up “false number nine “ in the dictionary there is a picture of Guthrie.

    He came across well to be fair. Players sometimes just don't fit in and whilst we'll always back PP because of what he achieved and slate AM for his perceived failure I honestly don't think he said anything wrong in the interview.

    In fact, I thought he was very respectful and sounded like a decent, well rounded bloke.

    Totally agree even though he did not get on with Parky the difference between his comments about Parky and the Steve Davies interview was chalk and cheese, to his credit not one foul mouthed comment where as with Davies it was every other word.
    Most City fans including myself never took Aaron to heart he got some terrible stick, apart from that night at Morecambe but hearing his comments with regards how Parky wanted from him to play maybe he should have realised that was Parky's way and had brought Bradford City so much short term success, why would Parky ban him from training and ultimately want him out as that must have cost the club a small fortune to settle his outstanding contract.
