McCall IN/OUT (with new Poll)

can’t see that. Ryan is a communications man a bit like James Mason. Surely Julian will replace himself with another professional CEO who knows the football industry inside out

 

Maybe both of them. Bolton a bigger club than us and apparently struggling. We are good at kick starting other teams season's though.

 

Excellent at promoting the club via all the different modern media modems but a CEO in the football industry needs to have years of experience re all aspects of the football business from dealing with agents , players contracts ,commercial etc etc. Not saying that people can’t gain this experience with time but surely we need at this moment in time a true pro to arrive and sort things out and yes will need to be paid top wack say £150,000

 

I was hoping the lack of actually being able to go to matches would increase attendances, a sort of post war boom scenario.
Not with the product currently on offer.

 

Fantastic sarcasm!

 

As Gary Neville said football is in danger of eating itself.

Liverpool fans raised 120k for foodbanks yesterday by boycotting the PPV game.

Bradford City are putting fans off with how they are going about things on and off the pitch. It's going to be difficult for them unless fans start to see a plan, some direction and ambition.

 

The only time i can actually recall , direction and ambition , was Mr Richmond . Even in the 80s under Stafford and Jack it was done on a shoe string , lack of ambition then cost us a place in the old first division.
I think the outside image of Bradford as a whole , is the reason there is a complete lack of investment in all parts of life around here. Even the locals that have money are reluctant to invest.

 

This @Mike Hunt can answer why not?

I live in Leeds mate. I think most in Bradford just like looking at their online banking and seeing the numbers.

 

Outskirts of Bradford now , still a bd postcode, born in Great Horton , lived in Eccleshill most of my life. still a proud Bradfordl lad.
Yes i would invest if i had silly money , and not just in the football, you can not take it with you.

 

Bradford has money but it likes to play the poor card and Bradford Council plus the T & A don't help at all.

 

That thought had crossed my mind, and would definitely fit with what Rhodes said. I don't like it though, so I'm trying to ignore it.

 

Same. 5pm yesterday and my thoughts were 'I'm not paying a tenner to watch that rubbish again on Tuesday' but deep down, I know exactly what I'll be doing in 48 hours time.

 

It would be a shocking move, completely lacking in any sort of ambition or invention. I could see us doing it. If so, we're done.

 

If the club makes Ryan Sparks CEO this club is finished.

 

I can well see it happening the supposed other options are better CEOs than himself and would need no tutorage
It's Mr Rhodes way of doing things
Promote from within and bring back who you know
No interviews necessary
We have been done for a while now

 

Let's just see what happens eh ?
It's out of our control anyway...

 

Ryan Sparks has done good work on the
commercial side but that's not a CEO job.

 

Maybe he is due a promotion

 

He was promoted in July.

 

Don't be silly..

He's a marketing bloke and he had a promotion recently. For a so called positive person this if you can't see the negative effect of hiring Spark's as CEO then you clearly have no love for the club.
