    Paying Eoin Doyle to score a hat load for Swindon because our pathetic manager couldnt get a tune out of him.

    Bringing McCall back after two previous failings.

    Paying James Vaughan off so he could have his wish to leave and sign for Tranmere.

    Replacing our CEO with a 29 social media guy.

    Extended McCalls contract by a year, to sack him two weeks later.

    22nd in L2 fighting with Stevenage and Barrow to stay in the league.

    We are an absolute shambles, an embarrasment and an utter humilation of a club. Complete reform is needed - owners, coaches, medical, players. And yes, this shambles has gone on far longer.

    May I add the sneering posters on here who thought we were above linked players like Matt Crooks, Lyle Taylor, Paddy Madden and Matt Godden.

    I don't think people are realising the severity of the situation we face.

    There are zero positive signs, very few chances to recover.

    The handling of the striker situations was criminal, circa 60 goals a season walks out the door, and you end up left with Donaldson.

    And an unproven kid that did well in a JPT game against our second string.

    Pathetic.

    A lot on here said Ivan Toney and Tom Eaves weren’t good enough when we looked to replace Wyke before.

    Yes they did. Eaves especially came in for criticism.

    Football manager experts think they know best spouting crap on social media.

    There's so many more failings. How about entrusting last January to Bowyer them sacking him a couple of days later.

    Don’t think anything will change unless we collectively take action now - ala plane banner

    I think you put the blame at the door for the club for the recruitment pre season, as bad as Stuart is in the market I think he makes a dig about the club in post match interview about us basically having no idea what we were doing at all.

    I dont understand the logic of giving someone a contract extension, teeing up a head of recruitment guy all linked to Stuart and then sacking him. Their doesn't seem to be any logical thinking to what we are doing....

    As football manager surely Stuart is 100% for his own recruitment. Didn't he know what agents would be asking for in money before making offers, didn't he have wiggle room so if Salford offer Henderson £50 p/w more we can match it (and with the salary cap the margins could be that small), specifically with Henderson didn't he think to ask Gary Jones to put a word in with him ?

    Leeds fan thats you mate. Having silly losing bets with your Leeds pals.

    As I say when the club stops being a shambles I will have many good positive words to say about it. Right now the club is a joke.

    There's also many, many, many more that people suggested who won't even be professional footballers right now. It's easy to act like Billy Big balls after the event. It's what @Sergio Pinto III@Sergio Pinto III likes to do to try and get a decent wind up going.

    Was it not a transfer that took place before the cap came in so the full amount of his salary would have not have counted.

    Glad there someone else who thinks the same.

    My simple answer to this is Bravo for expressing it.

    Inconsistent communication.

    Ryan Sparks, T&A 28th July
    “We would not want someone like James Vaughan to walk out of our club and we certainly wouldn’t hand him to a rival without significant compensation.”

    11th August
    James Vaughan signs for Tranmere.

    Ryan Sparks WOAP 21st Jan
    “Ryan stated there was a shared will within the club to restore Bradford City back to where it was before it had unravelled – back into League One as a starting point. And then the club can look to build from there”

    Julian Rhodes later in the year
    “Promotion was never the aim this season” (or similar).

    You missed we can’t sign free transfers at any point as they take weeks to get fit
