Anton McElhone

Nah, if he was an old school manager type he wouldn't have made an appointment like this. He'd have just rung someone he goes drinking with, or used to when they played somewhere together.

Looks like Drury is staying as number 2 ?.

“I will work closely with Martin Drury and the team. There are some great staff here and my work will complement theirs.

 

Difficult to say as he is Assistant Head Coach. What is Drury's title?

 

He was Assistant Head Coach was under Colins whether that title stayed when Collins left I don't know.

 

I think this is a great appointment and about time too.
Most on here seem to be happy with the appointment, with the exception of the usual one.
Look forward for things to be on the up from now onwards.

 

I reckon he will prove to be the single most important signing of the season.... Great appointment this and won't have come cheap I don't think. Well done City for getting it done.

 

I reckon such as Jones and Reeves will be shi*ting themselves now. Feck, how I am going to make my excuses now??

 

Probably get their mum to write a note for them.

 

Could they manage to schit themselves without getting injured.

 

but what if he manages to sort them out??

 

Good news then - even if that means they leave or indeed play.

 

The only thing that will 'sort' Reeves out is a contract termination.

he's effectively refusing to play, it's a breach of bloody contract. rip up his contract and ship him off if he doesn't want to play for us.

 

do you know he doesn't want to play for us? I keep seeing stuff like this with no evidence what so ever. I would have thought if this was the case it would have been sorted out by know, especially under someone like Hopkin.

 

To be fair the way he was dancing about at the Christmas do the other day, it certainly didn't look like he had a hip/back problem.

 

he's been out for over a year ffs.

it wasn't even a cruciate. it was something and nothing. the guys a waster.


even when he played he was pretty rubbish, sack him off I say.

 

He's mentioned in today's article https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/17273625.bradford-city-boss-delighted-to-bring-in-mcelhone/

"Hopkin believes McElhone’s top-flight experience will benefit the current medical team, physios Chris Royston and Dayle Avison as well as sports scientist Ben Nicholson."

 

Actually that's complete and utter b********. he clearly wasn't pretty rubbish. In fact I would say he was a key player which makes his absence ever the more frustrating.

 

Yes but that doesn't fit in with the theory that he isn't even that injured!!!

 

bit of a difference between throwing some shapes pee'd up and playing 90 minutes of football!
