    You guessed I was being facetious Dave…… That club is a car crash and proportionally in a far far far worse state than we are. From owners to the on field captain they are a joke. Never liked them whatsoever , but as soon as the Glaziers took over it’s all been down hill.

    So if you want the right man, we all do, yet you still haven’t suggested we you think “ We” are a laughing stock?

    That was my point from the get go.

    Thing is though Park, the club handed out long term deals to average players. Those three year deals still need paying for, so there will only be so much cutting back Rupp can do.

    we’ve an inflated squad, far from the leaner and meaner one Sparks spoke about creating.

    When Sparks said we were going into the new season leaner & meaner, he meant his physique !

    We can call them below average, yes, just not mediocre, as mediocrity will not be tolerated at this football club!

    Very disappointed in him and for you. Expect him to be announced back at Lincoln soon.
    I owe an apology to those making the decisions at Bradford City Football Club.

    How can we afford to sign players if we keep sacking managers

    I dread to think who we'll get now, unless we take someone already in a job.

    Very disappointing if that's true.

    I suspect Trueman will carry on for a few weeks now until we identify someone else

    For "family reasons" read, met face to face with the used car spiv/ social media guru and decided that he had wanted a job in social media, he would have gone straight to Nick Clegg or Elon Musk.

    I'm speculating, but my money would be on on something about the club wasn't right and not family reasons.

    Basically we've been empty chaired like Parky did to the Dogs.

    Bitterly disappointing and a decision the Cowleys may well come to regret deeply.

    Worrying that out of work managers are distancing themselves from us.

    I fear for once your club are not to blame. I think he might have had his head turned by a return to Lincoln.
    I remember being disgusted when Parkinson did the dirty on Huddersfield. I hope a manager I so admired hasn't done the same to you.

    I’m disappointed, I thought Cowley was the best choice. This would explain the sh@t show this week. Sparks now has an even bigger decision to make. Does he go for the second choice, if there is one, or look elsewhere. He’s not covered himself in glory, only luck can save him and it doesn’t appear to be on his side with Adams, Hughes and now Cowley.
