    SMc, "attracting players to bradford city won't be an issue."

    also SMc, "we put offers on the table for four strikers, none of them wanted to come."

    Stuart McCall - 5th December - Its okay talking about Carlisle signing Rhys Bennett as a free agent but we don't need any centre halves.

    Stuart McCall - 12th December - We need centre halves.

    Stuart McCall - 5th August

    “I still think we need two or three more additions but I’d rather go with a trimmer squad anyway. We’re happy with the recruitment we’ve done and I don’t think we’re a million miles off where we want to be. We’re happy with the squad we’ve got.”

    Stuart McCall - 12th December

    Our recruitment wasn't good enough. I think most Bradford City fans would take 3rd bottom.

    I dont know how to defend him but I genuinely dont think you can class it as just rubbish - it is a lot of emotion and he does really care about what is going on (unlike some of the players) so straight after a game he does contradict himself, that is undeniable. It sounds like the work on the players the club wants is progressing (or was this again just an off the cuff response?) so it is so difficult to know what is best. I am 100% convinced Stuart now knows some of these players HAVE TO GO as they are not strong enough or good enough in all aspects - but do we stick with him to see it through? Very tough days ahead but vital we get the decisions right

    Another bonkers interview, fair play to Jamie Raynor for not backing off.

    I've no doubt plenty will laud McCall for showing "passion" but it was aggressive, unhinged and embarrassing.

    The only valid point that SM made was that during Covid it was impossible to get players out of the club.

    saying that most city fans would take 3rd bottom is just embarrassing from him.

    he said the recruitment could have been better but when the interviewer held back from saying ‘well you’re the manager, that’s your job’ Stuart flipped his lid.

    McCall - whether player or manager, if your life is going to be 'one million times better' by not being at Bradford City Football Club then this club isn't the right place for you.

    it's a privilege to be involved as a player or manager with this club and there are thousands of people who would swap places.

    if your life isn't good with Bradford City being in it then leave.

    The only way I’d be ‘happy’ with 3rd bottom is if we are 2nd bottom going into the last game needing a win to stay up.
    Then after breathing a sigh of relief I’d want to know that could never be allowed to happen again ever.

    Hard to defend him when he comes out with statements like that. Totally unprofessional on and off the pitch on the footballing side, it’s no surprise we are where we are.

    Please let this all end now. No matter what we think of him as manager, its quite distressing listening to him now. It's just like the end of his first spell as manager when he kept losing it in post match interviews

    I said right from the start, we should never have brought him back, he was finished as a manager after his time at Scunthorpe. It was always going to end up like this again.
