    I think that neatly encapsulates my view. Perhaps extra motivation may mean that he will have a purple patch in his career. It’s his chance to rejuvenate himself. I get the impression that he will give the full 100%. He has a lot to prove, especially if he wants to be playing in the EFL, for the next five or more seasons.

    Threlkeld played CB for Salford so will probably move inside now.

    There was uproar because of how it was done and how rahic treated him. Not because he was decent, he was poor and was never good enough. One day this fan base will stop championing for failures just because they like the club.

    I think some people actually think nostalgia is a good pick-me-up for fans...

    Oh dear, oh dear...

    It's a football club, not a frigging PR exercise.

    Jamie Devitt gone to Carlisle. We've missed out there.

    Carlisle have signed some absolute guff tonight.

    They'll probably finish ahead of us next season.

    But this is a player who held his own in league 1 apparently. Who now can't get a game at Hartlepool.

    Let's just get this over with, announce Delouneso so he can score his two goals.

    Probably as many times as we've signed Billy Clarke.

    It's only the second time, but he was Carlisle for a long time.

    He's only got game time at Carlisle and Morecambe, back when Morecambe weren't miles better than Bradford City.

    I said earlier I'd be going tomorrow come rain or shine.

    But now I've seen we've massacred our own already dreadful defence, I'm not sure I'll bother.

    Its the sort of signing that perpetuates the slow death of the club, on a number of fronts. He's not good enough, he's stepping into a position and area of the team that's already weak, so he's set up for failure from the start. Because he's been here before, and with his career since he was last here, we know that he isn't going to be up to it and when that proves to be the case, the frustration and anger of the fans will be 'another example of the toxic mindset of supporters', which just continues to manifest as a doom and gloom atmosphere around the club. The reality is, fans just know what's coming and they're growing very, very tired of it.

    Repeating the same behaviours and expecting different results. We're a shambles, top to bottom.
