    For the excuses on here we were terrible against Exeter and the score line flattered us, however for how bad we were against them the opposite was true last night. Most enjoyable game of the season for me and good to see we learned lessons from that game and could have won by more in the end, hopefully we carry on improving.

    I agree but sometimes passing teams get pressed and harried and can’t always play that way and have to be more direct Cook makes us more adaptable

    We tried that against Exeter and that approach doesn't suit us. Also first half last night with little effect. We'd have to go back to Parky ball to get the best out of him and that's not what we are as a team.

    That won't happen. They might see how they get on next season (if appointed) then take them but clubs won't be in no rush to hire them.

    Deano and Jamie are City legends who showed passion. Anyone who wants "coaches" who have gone off and done weird things like studied the game in Iceland and Portugal over players with that status can't be serious.

    McCall was a legend who showed passion, but not up to it as a manager this season, unlike the duo you deride.

    You are the one that cannot be taken serious if you think Windass or Lawrence would be a better option.

    T&S have so far come through all the tests with flying colours. The job is effectively theirs to lose as it stands.
    But there's no rush to put pen to paper. Neither of them is going anywhere. Despite the fear of being poached by another club, they're still rookie managers, so I'd be amazed if a club came in for them after only 10 games in the role.
    They seem happy with the current situation and so does Ryan, so why push it?
    Since Parky left, with the exception of Collins, every appointment has been rushed. The only one that has worked was Stuart's second stint until Rahic undermined him. Even his third stint was a panic move to appease fans. So, I'm pleased we're not making any snap decisions.
    There's still a lot of football to be played until the end of the season. Let's see how the rest of the season pans out before we need to make a call about who'll be in charge for next season.

    You should be a Grimsby fan with the amount of fishing you do, but fair play you get a few nibbles.

    It didn’t suit because we didn’t have a centre forward fit shows my he will be needed in some matches

    McCall was a City legend, so was Jackson.

    You need more than passion otherwise Roy Keane would be up there with Jose and Pep.

    Grow up pal.

    A tricky one for the club because they have to pay two wages - and equally. The lads wont ve expensive but they certainly wont be cheap if this form continues into May....other clubs will be aware too.

    T&S can name their price in May - possibly even now. They couldnt a couple of months ago. Smart playing the waiting game for all parties...

    Jacko saved us from relegation to the National League and Stuart has the best win percentage of any spell of a permanent City manager.

    Passion is all that matters.

    Were that true we could easily pick a squad from off this forum...

    I can't believe you are all rising to this troll's bait.
    The guy is clearly on a windup and is succeeding, it seems.

    There's nothing wumming about wanting a manager with passion for the club, and a commitment to playing the Bradford City way.

    Its even rarer that rookie "player/ managers" take teams up like McFarland & Cherry did.
