Next manager

Boothroyd is from Eccleshill so im assuming he still has relatives/friends in the area that may know this Phil Bradbury.

Assuming its true, its not hard to figure out where a potential leak has come from.

 

10 years since he held a manager job at club level in England, its not going to be him.

 

I dont think that matters - he has the experience anyway......the alternative is we appoint someone who has and has failed numerous times in the last 10 years.

 

2nd favourite in the latest odds is out at 12/1 now. So looking like Holden or as I said yesterday someone not on the list.

 

Why we discussing what some Twitter/X attention seeker is saying?

However, I find Boothroyd so god dam boring. Like mega boring as a person. I just hope it’s not him.

 

I'd be surprised if a managerial announcement was made today, as its match-day and would be very distracting. Id expect it tomorrow if there's to be one.

 

Because nobody else has a clue and all the other names are picked out of thin air.

Its a forum fella. You discuss things.

 

Rather have Holden than Boothroyd. This has to have been the most underwhelming managerial hunt we've had? Since PP left, there's always been a candidate linked who'd tick most boxes.... but Jesus wept this has been just flat since day one.

 

Im not keen on either but Holden has achieved absolutely nothing in the game apart from failure.

He looks utterly woeful on paper.

 

I'm saying it is gonna be Nigel Pearson. Announced either after tonight's game, or first thing tomorrow

 

I'd be happy with that, but cannot see it

 

It is to be hoped that Sparks pulls a rabbit out of the hat, a manager currently employed by someone else, because the out of work managers list is very underwhelming and depressing

On what basis?

 

Whoever it is, I don't see why they can't announce it this morning and say he'll be watching from the stands for tonight's game before taking the helm tomorrow. Plenty of other clubs have done something similar, and it's only the poxy cup game, not an important league game.

 

Just a gut feeling, nothing more than that. He left Bristol suddenly having not done anything wrong, and isn't he a northern-ish lad, Nottingham area? Not that that means much these days...but i'd certainly be happy if it was him

 

Normally Simon Parker rubbishes these types but he hasn’t on Boothroyd. I can’t believe it’s took us 4 weeks and this is the best we can get. Must mean we are cost cutting at a degree even I didnt expect,no other reason? He hasn’t managed a league club in 10 years.

 

You would think so, but this is Bradford City we are talking about. The current hierarchy are non-existent when it comes to communication with the fans, which i'm sure most of us find rather infuriating

 

Was thinking the same but these days, approaches always either get leaked or get published by the approached club. Unless they've managed to somehow keep an agreement and compo completely quiet? Staying silent is something Sparks is good at.

 

It's very uninspiring isn't it? I cant believe after 4 weeks that we have these names linked.
