    So admittedly you are another bloody dancer that only cares about himself.

    Oh I like Ryan because he talks to me! Grow up!

    You know he shouldn't be in the bloody job but clearly just trying to defend him for your own gain.

    You scared to talk to him yourself... being as outspoken as you are?

    Thought so. So stop talking out of your ar se... yet again.

    What gain am I personally going to get by defending him? Tell me please.

    I'm not helping the club! I can afford to help the club in many ways but I am not wasting my time on a club that isn't wanting to help itself.

    The owner seems disinterest in what is happening and doesn't seem bothered.

    I'm not going to milk the club( you can if you want) but honestly I would rather give my money to charity. This summer I feel the club took the mick out of everyone of us. As football fans we all knew that the squad wasn't good enough and if I recall it was Ryan who was saying we are fine. Rupp is backing us etc. McCall saying we don't more players etc.

    Now it's like Jan transfer window and next summer - Go feck off will you!

    Nice answer but you did not answer my point about what I had to gain from this? As you well know its nothing. Your assertion that you are not helping the club says a lot about you and your character. But we already know that.

    For years now I believe the club hasn't helped itself and in my view an owner that doesn't seem bothered. I am not sure I believe this Edin thing now. Yes, Edin might not have been best for the club.

    So, i am not going to help someone or something that doesn't want to help itself. If things change then yes I will help.

    As for your gain I don't know. Money, adding Bradford City to your profile. It seems to me people that are connected to the club just don't like speaking out and thats another reason the club finds itself where it does...TOO MANY DANCERS!!

    I asked you a question about should he be in the role and you defend him - DANCER!! You know he shouldn't be in the role!

    Adding Bradford City to what profile? That you allude to? What profile is this ? You continually talk out of your arse.

    What’s he done to deserve a chance? I don’t wanna be taking chances on some PR novice businessman. We’re 2nd bottom of the football league, looking high likely we’ll be relegated come May. Sorry but any man giving that fraud a contract extension doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt.

    The issue is, who would want to buy us in a pandemic? Especially when Rupp wants £10m for a club who don't even own their own stadium, catering, training ground. No idea what he's valuing at the club as the squad is worthless.

    We as fans just have to keep spreading the news and protest in hope someone out there see's it.

    He's in the job now so give him a chance. Same as anyone.

    Social media and forums are the bain of our lives these days. Any bugger is threatened with being run out of town the moment they do something someone doesn't like.

    Ridiculous.

    Sorry BB, He's today's Martin Drury.
    Completley out of his depth and the cheapest option available, which has been a recurring theme in recent history.
    We are sleep walking into oblivion with such appointments IMO

    If he’d have come in and sacked the manager, appointed a new one along with a director of football/someone whose gonna run the recruitment side, then I’d have gotten on board. But his first major decision is to give the manager a new contract despite everything. Clearly out of his depth, we’re in the last chance saloon in terms of saving our football league status, now is not the time to give a chronically under qualified PR kid a CEO position. I have zero sympathy for him, he took the job, he didn’t have to.

    The problem is if McCall wasn't given a new contract it was going to make signing players in January harder as players will be reluctant to join a club between managers or who is dead man walking. Even if its just a bluff saying 'We are sticking with him' means players joining can feel they have a long term future. You also have the loan situation, one of the reasons more and more clubs now have specialised loan managers is to try and reduce the situations where a player goes on loan, the manager gets sacked and then the player is frozen out. A Club in Citys situation would set off alarm bells to loan managers, you would have got the Samuel type players only who the club is just waiting for their contract to expire so they can release them but now they may see them as slightly more stable and better prospects may be more viable

    There is also the other factor of is there plans for other changes, there has been rumours mentioned both on here and twitter of a DoF type person and in which case the last thing you want them doing right away is having to help look for a new manager, they need time to agree on a vision which will be a big factor in which people in future are hired as manager. I would imagine McCalls contract has some kind of break in which will either get triggered either before the end of the season or at the end of the season or he will and it will be used to give the DoF longer to get a vision implemented and find the right manager to take that on

    Interesting that you're expecting a permanent signing or two - I can't see that happening given that we won't be signing free agents. I guess if someone is allowed to leave, but those sorts of transfers you'd be looking to get on a short term deal anyway. Can't see a lad getting cut from Barnsley and getting a three year deal.

    Loans probably aren't overly fussed who is managing or how long term their appointment is as long as there's a sniff of first team football. They might enquire about the situation maybe ask for reassurance, but that's about it.

    I don't think the length of McCall's contract is going to make much serious difference to our recruitment drive in January, which I would guess is going to be another miserable failure.

    Sorry mate I struggling with this one.

    Let's not get hooked up on this Jan transfer window. All clubs barring Man City will be looking to do business in the Jan window. All club knew its coming!

    Football is about results. We have lost 8 in the league! 5 defeats on a row and sit 2nd to bottom but we offer a manager an extra year! That highlights to me a club which has no drive and no ambition. It will be difficult to attract quality players in this position.

    As for DOF coming in and his first task would be to look for a new manager. First of all a DOF isn't coming in and second we got a CEO in with no experience and he bottled sacking McCall, so lets not put it on the new person.

    I repeat football managers no matter who should it is should be judged on results and McCall's are not good enough. McCall needs to go!

    So you are so bothered about the club that since, 16 July 2018 you have posted just 216 times on here. All negatively. You are a shit stirrer. Nothing more nothing less.
