    I suppose if you forget for the moment about the £2.3mill windfall from the League Cup then yes, we continued to progress afterwards without throwing cash at it!

    Mark Lawn had his loan repaid out of that ,so £1.3 million from the cup run . Which is a lot of money in the real world, peanuts in football terms. We also climbed a division that year , managed to stay up and improve towards the championship, without spending big on transfer fees etc, whilst staying relatively debt free , until we were bought out by are german friends, who have managed to undo all that work in two years.

    The loan that had already been spent on strengthening etc, so whichever way you look all the windfall was spent on the team

    We had progress under Parky but there is no guarantee that we would have progressed any further without the takeover. In fact the first season of the takeover was our best season culminating in the Wembley final. The corellation between spending and success is proven, otherwise nobody would spend anything. Its how you spend that extra revenue.

    No thanks mate. Feel free to do what some United fans did and make a Phoenix club, but you’ll find not many want to go watch a Bradford team play northern village teams.

    The club needs an owner with the hunger to take us forward, and people below them with the skills and drive to pull it off.

    If we are to go up the leagues we need competency at the top, not drop down 6 divisions.

    This is a class way to reply.

    Yeah, fully get what you're saying mate. Look, I think we can change things and maybe now Covid will make the people at the top of Bradford City and lower league clubs that we need to protect the club going forward.

    We play Barrow next season mate..We are not that far away from the village teams in reality.

    I'd say for someone who tells everyone they lack ambition and we should be demanding stuff from our CEO and owner, to then come out with an outrageous statement that we should go non league and build from there I'd suggest is rather ironic ?.

    Bloody hell Barrow, I didn’t need reminding Morecambe is bad enough. Might have to hire a caravan by the Irish Sea at this rate.

    If Harrogate or Halifax get promoted then reality will sink in for some.

    West Ham safe now. Can’t see bottom 3 getting another win between them let alone two to catch you. Norwich and villa still to play. Job done I think.

    WH are safe mate. 6 points from the Burnley, Norwich, Watford with Villa last match. I think WH will pick up the 6 points they need from them games.
