    In fairness Edin might have had a point with this one. Our fitness levels were pap last season.

    At least he proved his worth last Saturday
    Blackpool played and were fitter than us playing 90 plus minutes
    Another backward step for us

    I agree, theres a lot of smoke and mirrors at the moment. One things for sure i wouldn't work under those circumstances. Mason left because of it and McCall looked a tired and beaten man during the second year of his second spell. Guys like that and the aforementioned Short deserve better than that, i don't know Short but Mason and McCall are two of the nicest people you will meet.

    The character assassinations of anyone who speaks out also has to stop.

    Its like listening to Trump supporters.

    It's the "go to" accusation when you've lost the argument

    We faded terribly at Wembley in the second half. They were all over us when they scored.

    There are key roles at any club and fitness coach is up there. Edin is going to find out harder and harder to recruit backroom staff, if he doesn't show a bit of humility.

    He needs to become a Glazer type of owner if he doesn't want to sell up. Bring in a chief executive, return home to Germany and oversee from there. There's obviously a clash of cultures and personalities, so for the sake of our club and his investment he's got to change his ways.

    This.

    A defence like “well they weren’t fit anyway!” Isn’t here not there.
    Edin shouldn’t be making the club a difficult place to work.

    It may well have been a steady accumulation of different incidents, which collectively reached a tipping point. The old saying, that it is the final straw that breaks the camel's back, comes to mind.

    Why is Edin speaking to a fitness coach on a regular basis? Edin knows nothing about fitness compared to a coach, so their only interactions should be official performance reviews. Edin has no business interfering on anything but a macro level because he's unqualified and unfit to do so.

    As you well know the problem is still at the helm of Bradford city football club and taking it to the wall.

    After seeing the mess that Rahic has presided over, its no surprise he enjoys scant respect and harsh words from a large section of our fan base.

    When the first manager was sacked on 5th February 2018, we were 6th in League One. Despite replacing that person with two more Managers/Coaches and a third one very recently (who has to be given a chance), the person making the decisions in the club, doesn’t appear to have improved the situation. Fact as evidenced by results!

    Pfft, just another bitter ex employee with an ace to grind.

    Nothing to see here, all is well.
