    And another all mouth joins in.

    Ahhh but some are interested. They want to see if those who keep threatening not to go even though they have bought their ST actually don't go.

    They are interested to see if, when a real tangible offer was made, one that benefits other people, will they carry out their threat.

    It seems the answer is no.

    No substance....no spine... just whinging.

    Ps... I managed a whole response without profanity. Clearly my IQ is too high to be a Bradford City supporter. I'm off to ..,,,,

    You are not only deluded, you are just making up lies. 7,000 is simply not true.

    Grayson was full of self confidence and it didn't matter a jot.

    Just replying to your original post, so if they are if's and buts you mentioned them first, with your comment "If Collins is under-performing after 15-20 or so games he will be gone and a new man will come in, It is as simple as that" when it obviously isn't as simple as that, as I've tried to explain to you in my replies.

    Are you one of Edin's boys who are coming on here and other social media to spread the word of Edin Rahic.

    Exactly, I really feel sorry for Collins. Talk about throwing someone in at the deep end. When this inevitably goes belly up, VP will be so toxic, Collins will get sacked and he won't wanna be in charge anywhere ever again it'll totally put him off for life. He's the fall guy, the patzi in all this while Edin's the puppet master pulling all the strings pissin everyone off.

    I don’t feel a bit sorry for him he has just been given a great chance. One that he really wanted

    If we don't reach the playoffs then the season has been a failure.

    What do you mean he wanted it? He never applied for the bloody job, Edin asked him because we'd ran out of options.

    He didn't even apply for it so can't have wanted it that much.

    Listen to his interviews almost since he started playing he wanted to get into coaching and management so he got what he wanted.

    I wish the new coaching team every success and hope it works. However there is more to management/coaching than sitting courses, doing exercises and training young players. They need to develop personnel skills to deal with senior players who may have non football problems. They require motivational skills.

    Just looked at some information regarding UEFA A licence- in 2009 Gareth Southgate obtained his alongside Dave Hockaday.

    Presumably Colin Doyle and Matt Kilgallon have just started on the path to becoming coaches.

    Never a dull moment being a City fan.

    He has captained several clubs so managers have seen something in him as far as leadership is concerned

    There are probably a number of people on here who have captained their Sunday League teams but never actually managed people.

    Of course he wanted to be into coaching, loads of footballers do. Yet he wanted the Bradford job so much he didn't actually apply for it? Wise up man. There isn't anyone anywhere in business that would turn down a management opportunity if thats what their ambition was. Yet you are saying he was that ambitious he felt compelled not to apply for it. I wish him success in the role but Rahic has not employed Collins because he is the best available, he's employed him because he fits the mould Rahic wanted, cheap and will do what he's told.

    I am. The £50 is ready to be handed over as the season ticket is handed over to the charity, of his or her choice.

    I made him or her the offer but it has gone strangely quiet.

    Actually don't Bradford City operate some sort of buy a ST for charity? Maybe we could do that and they can nominate another charity for the money.

    No spine...just whinging.
