    Almost everybody on here couldn't wait to get shut of AOC. Maybe some now beginning to realise that he's a better defender than Threlkeld or Paudie and in a different class to Kelleher.

    Here's a fact for you. If GG/ FLPF hadn't bought Valley Parade we would be watching AFC Bradford City playing somewhere like Manniingham Mills.

    FLPF aren't cashing in, they are charging a fair and equitable rent agreed by all parties.

    It worked pre season and for first 3 games until Angol was injured. I don’t understand why he won’t just play Robinson in Angols position?
    It’s pure stubbornness directed towards the powers that be because Adams didn’t want Robinson.
    If he carries on like this he’ll go the same way as Bowyer, McCall, Hopkin etc who all had the same issues.
    Why can’t we just get rid of all the ridiculous roles such like director of recruitment / football and let whoever the manager is deal with recruitment.

    Looks like another long hard shift for Andy Cook.

    Behave. We're not going down. But there's not a cat in hells chance we're going up.

    We're not getting creamed, because they're poor. We're worse, but they're poor.

    Its just a shite game, between 2 shite sides, in a shite league, at a shite ground. And we're not escaping it.

    Is Mr Sparks on holiday been very quiet lately
    Backed the wrong man in Mr Adams am afraid
    That's why Morecambe fans weren't up in arms when he left
    You can't throw players under the bus and expect respect from them
    Turnbull the scapegoat for a poor manager

    Seems like we need so energy on - Sutton perhaps?

    Also, can anyone tell me that Staunton would be worse than Kelleher? All this "can't play and learn" bollocks. So Kelleher is like Varane then. My @rse.... Play Staunton and he could become an established defender or a saleable asset.

    Firstly there has been no subterfuge Adams was brought in because he has a record of success on small budgets.
    Let’s face it he sanctioned the re signing of cook signed Songo Ridhalge Threlkeld all from previous clubs.I’m afraid Adams is showing favouritism to certain players whilst ignoring others and his press conferences are humerlous and dour. Hopefully he will come good for us but I can’t say I like him at all

    Ridehalgh is the only new signing this season that seems like he could be a decent player this season. Seems solid, connects well with Vernam. Not been a bad signing. The rest of them? Poor, so far.

    Isn’t Bradford the 9th biggest City.

    Either way for Bradford City to be in div 2.. Not owning their ground or training ground is nothing short of failure!

    There is no pretence there he prides himself on building teams on low budgets and so far with us he is failing. He signed many of the players and relied on a striker with a poor injury record. The bucks sits with him and his miserable persona which people will only live with if he is producing

    Not sure where this garbage about Adams being better with low budgets has come from. It's just a coincidence, if he'd had more money at Morecambe available he would have spent it.

    Sounds fun.

    He did get an assist though. Which is more than Gillead has done since he signed

    Not sure if calling out the owner, without actually naming him, is a wise move career wise, but mr Adams is correct.
    Too much shit gone on since he took over and it is really time for him to front up or move on.
