    The right move in the end. We have to put an end to this culture of firing managers but that’s goes back o getting it right in the first place. Sparks has yet to prove he is the right man to get it right either.

    We ripped up our whole plan for adams and it never even looked like working. His football was dull. He was unlikeable and didn’t develop players. He was here to get us promoted on a shoe string budget only.

    I hope sparks has a full recruitment drive now. Speaks to experienced people in the game and finds a good manager who fits Bradford City and wants to play attractive football. It’s really not much to ask. Fed up of going and watching shite.

    Adams may well be a success somewhere else but it was never going to be here. Robotic man who I never warmed to. Good riddance. Onwards and upwards. Time for sparks to get one right

    The fans will be back and I guarantee we see players wanting to play for City again.

    At least it gives the new man plenty of time to assess the squad before the summer.

    Why are you so upset that Adams is gone? I understand the club is being run badly from above him but my god his football was utterly abysmal and there would be nobody left in the stands if he stayed.

    He had lost the fans, the players, the media, everyone.

    Regardless of what’s going on upstairs this is one step in the right direction. I for one feel a huge sense of relief that he’s gone!

    But what is likely to change now? You are either going to rush into an appointment because you need someone and as such and they are likely to fail as its rushed while having a squad they can't do anything about or put in a temp manager until the end of the season who these players are probably not going to listen to due to that.

    Would surely make more sense to have kept him in place but be working on finding the right person to bring in next season and tried to then hit the ground running next season

    Now to move on…..

    It does not however escape the fact , the entire squad needs to go in the summer, both those in and out of contract.

    The only ones to keep, one is a loanee who we need to sign. Walker and Ridehalgh along with Foulds.

    Where have I said I’m upset he’s gone? I’m upset of how much of a shambles this club has become and how poorly run it is, but those at the top still get off Scot free on match days.

    True. But in this situation, the players we brought in in January were all short term arrangements and will be gone in the summer. With those whose contracts also expire in the summer, more than two-thirds of the current squad will be out of the door at the end of the season.

    Well done Sparks. Correct decision. Most backed Adams inbound based on his success elsewhere. It takes balls to cut your losses admit the error as in it’s not worked out and look to take city forwards.

    Who really cares . He has to be the worst manger I’ve ever seen at VP . Absolutely nothing likeable about him . Crowds would have dropped massively and it’s about any time now the season ticket campaign will start
