    Alexander gets unmasked on the pitch, underneath the mask is Edin Rahic.

    If he does go I hope to God we don't bring Bruno in. Lovely bloke, hopeless manager.

    It worked for sesame street. Which is kind of the level the running of our club is at right now!

    Refute these rumours!

    Sparks do some proper comms for goodness sake. It’s not all calm waters, sometimes you have to steady the ship. Get some sound bites about how you’ve excelled in certain quarters, but other aspects of your job you’re still finding your feet. Hold your hands up.

    Rupp, back up Sparks words with some positive vibes about the transfer market and the way forward. Acknowledge that we’re going through a rough patch and show some empathy towards the fans. You’re fully invested in the club both personally and financially.

    GA give a rallying call. Looking to get the squad and formation you want finalised and streamlined. Results haven’t been good and you’re hurting and desperate to turn it around. With the backing of Rupp and Sparks you can see a way forward. Back yourself.

    Smallwood give an open and honest interview to Parker about how you want to pull the team out of the mire. Recent performances on a personal level haven’t been befitting for a captain. You’re going to get the boys together and get things sorted.

    There we go. Not rocket science is it?

    And the gullible who bury their head in the sand and believe everything is fine and dandy when we're 18th in league 2.....but keep clapping....

    ‘Way off the mark’.

    Is it just me, or does that have just enough wriggle room to allow for a very different outcome in the near future.

    ‘Utterly false’, would be definitive.

    Parker's on Twitter just now pointing out the article seems to have been taken down. Regardless, if anyone at the club is thinking about getting rid of GA then they have to realise it's only moving deckchairs on the Titanic. The reason the ship is sinking isn't down to the guy in the engine room, it's because the Captain and First Mate have steered us in the wrong direction.

    It’s a site aimed at spotty teens on social media not a national tabloid, they will have heard a rumour and posted it so they could claim to be breaking the news and have amazing links and connections at clubs. They will take these gambles all the times and the odd one will be correct and they’ll dine out on it. There is no agenda against the club, nobody outside of Bradford City gives a crap about us.

    It’s no different to the nonsense rumours you posted on here the other day about Cook and Halliday leaving. Did you post that to destabilise two key performers at the club? No, thought not you heard a rumour and shared it. Get over it, it happens all the time in this social media world.

    I’m already on the verge of not renewing STs next year but if GA goes this will be the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.
    A succession of unsuccessful managers tells us that the problems are not in the dugout but higher up.

    Bradford City and me are close to an irreconcilable divorce. I’ve very nearly had enough.

    That would be preferable to picking Ash Taylor.

    You haven't replied to my other post, so I'm picking this one up. The organisation that first posted about this is pretty reputable. They have been running for some time. They have a blog, podcast and run numerous social media channels. They employ a number of people. One of those who runs it is very close to the Club and is a fan.

    You need to be careful about who you are calling idiots. I get that you are angry, confused, in disagreement but wind your neck in a bit, eh? They have a decent track record with news and transfers and are well connected.

    The most interesting tit-bit that I picked up was about a rumour that GA wanted Young to play asap and the club didn't. This may be the cause of some of the disagreements that have now surfaced on social media.

    You post loads of pro Sparks crap without taking into account the dreadful position of our club!

    Quite bizarre if it is true, but I wouldn't discount anything at this club at the moment. If it is true, then the only course of action is to give it to KM to the end of the season on the stipulation that he also plays.

    I can only see it as true is GA wants out, and if that is the case it says more about the club that it does him. I'm no expert, but his body language doesn't look right to me. Almost as if he knows he's made the biggest mistake of his life.

    From a footballing perspective, I'd be delighted for Alexander to get the boot.

    However, sacking a manager a few months in because we've got it wrong again is indicative of how this club is run. Joke outfit from top to bottom.

    Couldn’t make this up,the guy who dresses up as a chicken is also a podcaster with a rumour. It’s getting funnier by the hour at City.

    Yes, he hasn’t forgotten how to be a manager. He’s had success and played and managed hundreds of games, mainly in the lower leagues. If he isn’t the type of manager we need right now then I don’t know who is, especially as he hasn’t even had the opportunity to put his own stamp on the team.

    We’re spending more on paying managers off than we’re putting into the playing budget. Just imagine where we’d be if we had a long term strategy and the money could be spent on quality players.
