    I don’t think I’ve lost interest in a Bradford City team so quickly as I have this season, even through the admin years.

    The Sparks hype made it seem we were going to have a viable product on the pitch, and I was happy with the appointment of Adams due to his record.

    I was enthusiastic after the first few games but as pointed out, the squad is paper thin apart from a few key players who if got injured, would make us a sitting duck.

    We’ve just lost to Crawley in a season we should be challenging for promotion. Sparks and Adams are the easy targets. I’m looking towards Rupp now more than any time before. If he doesn’t care and realise what is going on, he needs to feckoff.

    RUPP OUT!!

    Sparks virtually promised us promotion this season, His promises are thin air and his choice Adams has lost the plot picking players that are failing week after week,

    Can't see Mr Adams lasting till Christmas to be honest if he hadn't lost the dressing room before todays interview I fear he may have now
    Remember Mr Sparks (who may last till the end of the season) is not afraid to pull the trigger all is not well there
    Mr Rupp is another kettle of fish altogether unless a money man pays what he wants we are stuck with him
    TESTING TIMES

    It’s good you’ve finally come to your senses, manager after manager have failed under one mans watch. Then he hires a novice CEO who is all talk so far, except for painting the bogs and a few new seats. We need a new owner with a passion and interest for football and him no bring in a hardened football man as CEO with real contacts and expertise.

    over the years we've had managers that pull the party line if you like and never say how it is. something needs to change. and getting rid of him isn't right. we sign some crap players every bloody season THAT MUST STOP.

    I'm not going to call for Adams out anytime soon. Its clear to see the problems lie elsewhere in the club. Starting with a set if players who are here for the wrong reason.

    I'm well fed up same as us all but this time i'm prepared to give the shambles time and a few transfer windows to sort it out. Hiring and firing has got us nowhere so happy to swallow pride and stick it out in hope.

    Every player, every club, every year the players talk the talk but don't always walk the walk. Same since I started taking an interest in City in 1983.

    Adams like us has been sold a lie, slowly he is calling sparks out for this

    lets not forget who was brought in to sell edin and rupps lies

    like mason before its self promotion and pretend to be a fan to cover it up

    That narrative makes absolutely no sense

    Derek Adams is here for one reason only and that's to further his career grab another promotion and join a club as high up the football pyramid as possible

    He's not here to battle the owner or the chief executive lol but he may teach them a thing or two about how things should be run

    Ultimately if Derek fails at City he fails full stop and he can't afford that to happen

    Think you’ll find he’s consulting at Burnley who don’t have a full time CEO at the moment.

    Sparks can do that yes - but provide managers with poor budgets - then results are not going to improve. Last season and this we have not given the managers enough to add to the quality. Last season we had little in the way of back room staff - this season it looks so far the recruitment has been poor in the fitness area.

    Do we have poor budgets compared to other teams in L2?
