    Don’t disagree, but that takes time, and we can’t do that until Rupp he has had enough, and he won’t care what their motivation is.

    Give Stuart a chance and we'll be out if this league, look we’re we were 2 years ago, and with squad now (debatable), he deserves another crack at the whip, as now the time to act.

    I think the last time he was appointed it came across as appeasement to the fans, get everyone on board etc. and it ended up working surprisingly.

    It will work in terms of getting the players off the floor, but I am not sure he can drive us to promotion with this squad.

    He struggled with this league before, what makes you think he would do a better job now?

    Warnock would only be in it for himself, to say he got to 1000 games - he's made that quite clear. he wouldn't be here for the good of bradford city. that's not the right type of appointment and he'd probably be off in the summer.

    take the emotion away from the situation and McCall's track record in this division doesn't say he's the right man. it would be a fan appeasement decision and that isn't the right appointment either.

    No, no, no. Stuart isn't a good manager. His record should demonstrate that to anyone. A lovely bloke and our hero but please, no more disappointment for him here.

    It's probably telling that promotion wasn't even on my mind after the last few weeks.

    He's no master tactician granted. I'm curious as too how he has disapointed though?

    Disappointments for him. Failed in his first stint and failed at Wembley. Disappointments for him.

    Apologies to Norman, Brisbane, Feats and a few others but here goes.
    Short term until end of season arrangement McCall back as a COACH only. F**k** Warnock to f**k*** get them (ok, that's enough of my Warnock impression) properly organised and set up. Warnock gets his 1500 games or whatever, McCall gets back to VP - and I am only guessing here - the majority of fans back onside. The R&R team then has time to find a manager with a plan for the future and able to come in at season's end.
    TBH, not sure what the answer really is but it can't go on like this.

    This is as terminal as last season now, the players morale is shot to pieces , there is no way back from here without pressing the reset button.

    Stuart would get my support as he would at least command respect from the players and will know the club, I feel we have nothing to lose right now.

    and if it doesn't work and he leaves again (which eventually he would) does he get a 4th or a 5th go at it?

    No joking Brisbane, I think it's his destiny. There will for certain be a return or two.
