    There's much better out there than McCall though @Bronco@Bronco ,he's very good at team spirit and got the best out of what was basically Parkinson's side with the likes of Meridith, McMahon, McCardle, Darby, Hanson Clarke Cullen. I just don't think he's good at building a new squad and when the time comes to sacking him whoever the chairman is ,Lawn in 2010 ,Rahic in 2018 they are treated almost as the man who shot Bambi. He was well backed at Scunthorpe but another losing run has done for him.

    Are you sure it wasn't Bowyer who asked to review things after the season ended?

    Just shows how hard it is to get it right, the vast majority of clubs move managers on after a couple of seasons or less, think before long Bowyer will have competition from both McCall and Parkinson, funny old game ;).

    Why would Parky or McCall come and work for Rupp though. Parky didnt fancy it last time he was here and McCall was sacked.

    Before anyone says it was all down to Rahic, not so sure about that. Rupp was equally responsible.

    Now if we have new owners in place, that might be different.

    I would say Bowyer in pole position, if he wants the gig extending, if there is no change of ownership

    Your correct of course there are many and possibly better as you say....................................you have to wonder why Bradford City keep getting is so wrong.
    I think in Rahic case he got off lightly, poor old Anna Soubry cant go home because of threats :(.

    Bang on, I don't think there's a city fan out there who would slag Stuart off, but I don't think he's the manager to take us forward. He's still my city hero though.

    The club is broken.

    If McCall, Moore or even Parky becomes available we've to go back to them.

    Bowyer is a Blackpool man! We need a true City man now.

    Under German ownership I think the Club has lost it's connection with the fans. Local former heroes can bring comfort and a sense of belonging and indeed identity back, but these are not, on their own, a reliable solution.

    It's players we need, not a manager.

    How is Darren Moore a true city man?
    He moved to Bradford City for a fee of £310,000 in June 1997. He played 18 times during his first season with injuries limiting his starts. But in 1998–99 he started 44 games helping City to promotion into the Premier League for the first time. During the summer he refused to sign a new contract and fell out of favour with manager Paul Jewell. He played just once more for Bradford, in the League Cup against Reading.

    Politically no but he does get teams working for each other.

    I would take him as a team coach or youth coach.
