    Perhaps it wasn't an extension but just an option but communicated as an extension just to try and get everyone to calm down?

    Exactly
    Can't give credit to anyone for something that should have been at least a month ago
    Personally think after yesterday's post match ramblings he had been given the "Win this or your out" ultimatum
    Let's hope it turns out to be a good thing for both parties I know who will be happier in 12 months time

    Anyone who can get that rotten bunch of defenders to defend and bring some kind of structure to the team will be OK with me. They can then start again in August 2021.

    It would have to be a return on his terms I dont see why not, would he work with a recruitment guy that would be the first hurdle I'd have thought.

    I can’t tell if you’re joking. You do realise all those managers are worlds apart from where we are. Steve Evans? We’d be lucky to get someone like him IMO. Our fans slag him off yet he’s got a pretty decent record.
    This appointment is going to come down to ££. To attract the best possible manager then we are going to have to pay. On top of that any manager who does come in is going to have to insist money is made available to improve the squad. I have no idea if this money is available or not. Let’s hope so.

    Sparkes quote...
    “This decision was not taken lightly, and we have done everything in our power to support them during their time at the club.

    Not sure he'd take the job under those conditions.

    He can do much better than us. Won't happen.

    I think it'll be between Michael Flynn and Paul Hurst, with Hurst the more likely.

    Sad but had to be done. Will always be a legend at the club but was out of his depth as a manager.

    Believe it or it's an Evans sort of person we need at this club. That or a young manager.

    If we can tempt them Cowley Brothers would be a decent appointment IMO

    I’d be absolutely shocked if we got Flynn. I can’t see us paying what Newport would want for him and then giving him the money he would need to get us out of our current mess.

    As we stand we are managerless and with the players we have, very very close to being a non league team

    We need a big name in charge to relate Bradford City as still being a major and attractive club, otherwise we won’t get a second look with any decent players.

    Sam Allerdyce is looking for a final stab at management

    Could he be the man we need to raise the Phoenix from the ashes?

    Would be a nice final paragraph in his autobiography as being the manager who stopped the first Premiership club ever falling to Non League.

    Just a thought (and dream)

    What worries me the most, is that despite his terrible record, Stuart was the only connecting force between the club and the fans. We ALL wanted him to succeed. Now the club is disconnected in a way it has never been before. We don’t even have a “favourite” player to attach our hopes on.

    Sparks and Rupp have really got to pull out all the stops, or I can see this club sinking without a trace and no one caring.

    And until we have new players i can't see that improving no matter who is in charge. These players should be ashamed of the "performances" they've put in

    His contract was extended by a year but his salary was spread out more, meaning the club were no worse off financially. McCall took a pay cut essentially.
