New Coach - Michael Collins

if the owners believe in the approach they have adopted on taking the club forward - then evidence to their commitment to the cause will be the number quality / experience additions they make to the squad as this will require funds. Some will be gained from moving players on - but last season's squad additions added little to our cause - as we eventually found out that it requirec some tinkering and gaps filling in key areas.

 

Yes it's legal. It's called deferred consideration, where the buyer pays an amount up front, followed by a percentage of profits for an agreed number of years. I would think it's open to a spot of creative accounting.........can anybody think of any club joint chairmen who used to be accountants and may be a bit creative?
That said, bearing in mind the volatility of football club profits I would be quite surprised if deferred consideration formed anything other than a minor part of the deal

 

Thank you, was just wanting to check. Last time we got well and truly shafted, I just think we should keep an eye out. There has been rumours that Edin on top of his 6 figure salary has been taking chunks of money out, now that might well be all above board, but I don’t trust them. I also have no way of knowing whether the rumours are true or not.

 

What money could he take out if the club isn’t making a profit?

 

That’s lost a few Park!

 

I know really showing my age

 

Why didn't Edin just do this from day one? no McCall appointment to get the fans onside before binning him at the first wobble. The last two years look like a complete waste from here.

I'll back the new coach to the hilt, but christ.

 

What fun work's gonna be now this week with my Huddersfield and Leeds supporting co workers. Thanks for that Edin you massive bell end.

 

Willing to give Collins a chance. Still can’t believe he’s got the job but wish him all the luck in the world and hope he grabs his chance and runs with it.

 

So, we waited all that time and not a leak!

So that's all the chunterers at the Bradford Club put to bed. The small coterie that have so 'run' this club. Swapped about within the business community of Bradford, almost the Little Britain of football a total and absolute parody of the idea of a couple o' fags at half time and he'll be right for the second half form of English '50's football club. We have a right to see results not necessarily the minutes of every meeting.

I was as surprised at the announcement as anybody and my first thought was that it was a little audacious so early. Yet as I put another thread about the pitch that it was better to get as much done now as possible before Championship wages/costs kick in perhaps now is the perfect time for to be so bold. Moves like this can sometimes tip the balance rather than just fighting it out on budget.

 

Don't anyone kid themselves ? At the core of this dog awful appointment is the FACT that Abbott is the "main man". But we all know he simply doesn't "wash with the fans" so Rahic has stuck the "Cone Bros" out front as a couple of "patsies".

This is a total shambles and I'm warning everyone now that the players will see through this. Collins might have a badge but I've met loads a these types "all gear no idea". He's a kids coach for God's sake; experienced players aren't going to take their lead from a 32 year old with next to no playing career. Compare him say to the vast experience domestically & internationally of Stuart ? ; not withstanding Stuarts "core connection to the club.

I don't care how many want to give this "model" a chance ? Delude yourselves we have unearthed the next "Neil Harris" ? So how's Collins going to out think experienced wily operators like Evans ? or Coleman ? No blooming chance. Can see the Three Stooges on our bench looking like a right set of numpties as the games go tits up and the howls of derision from the stands pour scorn on the Three of them ?

Tell you this I give "No Jacket Required" Collins his chance if he makes his first key decision next week ! . He hauls in Poleon and tells him to start looking for another club ! . If Collins so much as gives Poleon even a sniff of the first XI you'll know he really does have "all the gear and no bloody idea" Over to you Mr Collins (sorry I mean Abbott) talk about Against All Odds ? how the hell Rahic came up with this solution having procrastinated for an age God knows.

To be honest if I didn't have better things to think on it makes me bloody angry. Absolutely zero enthusiasm at all for the new season. Only real silver lining is that a bet for this being a relegation season is sure to deliver !

 

Championship wages Jam? I think we're safe from the ravages of Championship wages for a year or two.

 

Well that 30 seconds I will never get back. Crap

 

Well Park thats 3 secs I wont get back ! Bollox.

Come on then explain yourself? How's this fake appointment by this idiot owner who I increasingly dislike going to take the club forward ?

Dont reply to me with your clever arsed attitude; it's not enough; explain yourself ?

 

This is great!!! Wow

So excited

 

I think City fans will certainly give Collins a chance, even if it's a huge gamble and they certainly didn't feel it coming in the air tonight. Love, for untried, untested managers don't come easy and he'll quickly find that it's a game of give and take.

 

Best appointment ever

 

Phil Collins

 

Would he be the only boss in football who does not care what the fans think? Probably not.

 

Well said.
