    Whatever the setup, circumstances or situation it is unfair on McCall and he cannot be judged working in such circumstances.

    We have someone in charge of recruitment (a mate of his at that) - not fair on McCall that other people have an input, we don't have someone in charge of recruitment - not fair on McCall he has no help.

    We have to accept that's how it works.

    If that was on Twitter, or FB, it would be flagged for "false information".

    Do you think it is now time to part company with McCall?. If not, how long would you give him to turn this around?. If we did part company, who would you like to see us target to take over as manager?

    Irrelevant, not a McCall signing.

    Here's an article about DMH being released by the club in April with SMc saying he might sign him again in the summer when the situation was clearer

    https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18441774.released-winger-mottley-henry-still-bradford-citys-plans/

    Here's another article a few months later about SMc signing DMH on a new contract and how he had always wanted to bring DMH back to VP.

    https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18591650.mottley-henry-signs-new-deal-bradford-city/

    I guess it must have all been down to somebody other than the manager to bring DMH back to VP and SMc was just misquoted by Parker!

    Not for me to answer that one. Ask JR or Ryan.

    Thanks for the honest appraisal. The only thing that I could add, is the EFL requirement for ‘home developed players’ to be part of the squad and that DMH fitted that category.

    Stuart wanted to sign Messi but was told he had to sign DMH.

    I know that's ridiculous, but obviously my first post wasn't sarcastic enough!

    May I suggest using better sarcasm, it's quite difficult at the best of times with the intelligence of posters on here.

    Do you take the minutes at meeting attend ;)you encapsulate the interview perfectly, it was a difficult one for Stuart but most of what he said was fair comment, unfortunatly he has brought most of our current problems on himself not the injuries of course but the squad was lacking in certain areas.
    One minute he says he prefers not to go for free agents because it could be weeks before their match fit then says he brought Samuel's off because of exhaustion and that was always going to be the plan with both him and Clarke, the reason Samuel's was only doing 60 minutes was because he has played so little football.
    He was correct in saying we need bodies back and quickly, it makes a mockery of still having salary cap money left in the locker, I want to see him pick the strongest 11 against Oldham it gives our walking wounded another week to get back.
    Looking at the snippet on Sky Sports video we didnt deserve to lose that game but we have to stop conceding self piece sloppy goals, watching the clip again I cant blame O'Donnell for not coming from the cross, loads of traffic in there and a great delivery.

    Going by his latest, rare T&A interview, I’d rather he stay quiet. No wonder we’re in such a mess.

    I hope not.

    I imagine he said ask Ryan as Ryan can get the answer.

    You can't put Julian in the same bracket as Stafford Geoff or Mark Lawn, he has never been the voice of Bradford City he left that to Mark.
    I'm not saying I agree with nothing coming out of the club but Ryan is limited to what he can say, as above Julian was never the front man and it seems our owner isn't interested in keeping fans involved.

    Agreed. Injury issues aside, Zeli at least is a footballer. He can play the game and make things happen. We have no other player who can go past a man, although AOC was having a good go last night

    Can we pin this post on the forum somewhere? It needs referring to over and over again.
