    The thing that confuses me is the
    disconnect between what the manager
    and players say,and what is actually
    happening.

    Elliot Watt said Macca makes you want to
    try harder,but I'm not seeing it.If they are
    trying harder then they are not trying hard
    enough or they just aren't good enough.
    If they aren't good enough neither is our
    recruitment!

    It's a case of do as I say not as i do with fordy but once he's backed into a corner (a bit like he is now) he goes very quiet and hopes it goes away.

    Agree that it’s very improbable either Ryan or Stuart will be replaced (unless new owners come in), but if as you mention things are the same in February we’ll be odds on to go down and then out.

    I totally agree , we may still be in this position come Feb. I don't think we will. There is enough in this squad to get away from danger, even if that is achieved on the last game of the season. If we are still bottom 2 come Feb, that will be the time for Mr Sparks to show real leadership and who is to say any incoming coach or manager , can not get a better tune from this current bunch of players.

    It is totally pointless for anyone outside of the club , to point fingers and call people happy clappers or yes men.
    I don't believe that anyone inside the club , can be happy about the current situation.
    A lot of the issues are beyond there control, Rahic, Covid , Salary caps and the crazy amount of injuries , mostly to our attacking options.
    I know other teams have similar problems, but i don't think any have had the shit storm we have.

    FFS Trevor change the record. You don’t know the full facts around McCalls contract extension, let it go.

    Think when a team goes from play offs to get into the Championship to 2nd bottom of div 2 then questions need to be asked.

    Everyone, outside the club should be asking questions.

    NO!, See the post above, The club is far to important to let it go just like that, You may have low expectations and standards but do not expect the rest of us to share those views, When McCall starts winning games consistently then I may let it go,

    Baffling, sparks has been in the job 2 mins and you want to criticise him over a contract extension you know little or nothing about, or do you ? if you do come on spill?

    get behind them and see what Jan brings if quote ‘the club is far to important’

    I don't see what this lets what Jan brings is about!

    We won't go down
    Other teams will be getting players in Jan.

    What is this difference going to be in Jan? WE SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION!!

    Replying to Steve just doesn't do you any favours if you are looking for me to answer.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117, I can't see that you've had the courtesy to reply to @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler yet. For someone who's got a lot to say on this forum, what's stopping you on this occasion?

    Also, please tell me, if you'd had a promotion at work and then, a few days later saw a comment "Fordy Out" splashed on the internet, how would you feel? I don't know Ryan, and neither do you. The guy has been in the job two minutes and you're already making an unjustified statement, behind the safety of a keyboard. You've made a similar statement that @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler has pulled you up on. We're all waiting, Fordy.

    Hindsight is a wonderfull thing. I dont recall any decenting voices , when we reached the playoff final under our european owners. In fact we all thought it would be the next step forward. How wrong we were.
    As someone with your supposed business accumen , you should know that running a business is not a walk in the park, especially if the CEO is an absolute power mad crackpot and it can take years to turn that company around again.
    I just dont think name calling brings anything to this discussion.

    @andyc@andyc, I wouldn't expect an answer. Fordy's bluff has been called and he's busy trying to fill in the big hole he's dug for himself.

    I don't expect an answer. It would just be nice if we could all discuss things without name calling and chidish comments.
    We all afterall have one thing in common here. To see Bradford city win football matches , hopefully entertain us in the process and improve the clubs standing from all aspects.

    That's because you can't supply any because you know as much as the next man. Then spout off thinking you know who is a YES PERSON but as soon as your picked up on it your sliver back into your little world to think of more stupid remarks to make.
    CAN'T YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH?

    Nonsense!

    Look it is this simple. 2nd to bottom in the league and with the worst squad for years.

    I don't really need to say much. The results highlights the club is failing and I wouldn't be proud to be connected with failure. Don't think its time for anyone to say that they have done a cracking job.

    Or wait a minute its all Edin's fault still!
