    Agree I do think it's time for Stuart to utter his usual "I can't take this club any further" speech
    Not likely I am afraid and even less likely that Mr Rhodes will push the button
    We are stuck in this rut till we get a new fresh thinking CEO with respect not Mr Sparks
    Until this happens nothing will stop the downward spiral and who knows where that will end

    I saw that starting lineup and put a Salford win on my acca. Trying to get those lot today to get a result would be like polishing a turd using a pan scourer.

    I repeat the example of a truly brilliant, despite his other undesriable attributes, manager in Brian Clough at Hartlepool in the 60s. Took a team of no hopers into promotion candidates in no time.

    I think the Cowley's are realistic, but I think it would be an awful appointment.

    McCall is the wrong manager but nothing will change until the people above him change. Someone else needs to take over the day to day running of the club from Rhodes and Rupp either needs to sell or make a significant investment in the club. I can see them sacking McCall in late December in an attempt to deflect blame from themselves, but we can't lose sight of why it's turned out this way.

    Seriously mate..We need to stop doing things on the cheap.

    Like Salford did, if we want a manager and hes at another club then we need to get him.

    Not saying I wouldn't have some of them names suggested but we really do need to identify who we want not if the managers are at the job centre.

    If we sack a McCall we will probably end up with Donaldson in charge, that’s how ambitious we are.

    I hope Rupp wakes up soon and realises without big changes he will be left paying 400k rent on an empty stadium when this pandemic is OVER.

    Wellens is a Man Utd lad, linking with Man Utd legends, at a crappy Man Utd knock off club.

    They have infinite money.

    Not only are we not run by City legends, our fans don't seem to even want them here (because they wouldn't be here on merit, unlike the excellent managers running Salford like Scholes and the Nevilles (lol)), plus I can't think of a manager out there with a genuine rapport with the club (like Wellens at Salford Old Boy's Club) who we could 'buy' from another club who would be a perfect replacement for McCall.

    But by all means, if you know the name...?

    Forget the rapport with fans..Parky didn't. Get the best manager for the job and the long term.

    Honestly, I think I would go young and ambitious. Couldn't care less if they had a connection with Bradford City.

    As this rate like @Biker@Biker said it will Donaldson as manager because the rubbish players we are signing he will be the stand out name to appoint.

    Donaldson is young, and possibly ambitious. Collins was ambitious. Need more info.

    Agree but can you make a silk purse out of a sows ear?

    As for making major changes in and out. Salary cap has put paid to that IMHO.

    Need one with a network that understands what good looks like. That will help the club move forward and demand improvement.

    When for example Warnock said Bradford City train at a school someone on here connected to Rhodes was going crazy.

    Hard to disagree with that. But I wouldn't give McCall another transfer window to sort it out. He cant not be trusted. After all he fecked up scunthorpe.
