    Simple binary question.

    We are where we are and most would agree this squad could and should be doing better.

    We have to get this job done by May finishing in the top three auto places.

    Frustrations are building both on the terraces and openly admitted on the touchline.

    If we brought back our Ginger Leader & a returning Ginger Goal Machine. Plus our leaders perchant for good football and ability to get more out of these players.

    Plus it re-energises match days once more and gurantees us a City for All bounce on the season tickets. In other words is very very good for the business of Bradford City.

    Are you on board with Rhodes making that call to Stuart ?

    Stuart might well ‘energise’ the crowd but we’ve seen it twice before that as a manager he fails to energise the players

    Ok, Rhodes and Ryan Sparks can prpduce a poor labour looking campaign together and put on a digital screen that's just bigger than the screen in my Merc and say they want 20k season tickets..

    WE'RE NOT SELLING 20K SEASON TICKETS WITH BOWYER AS MANAGER!

    Even if he takes us to div 1.

    McCall would maybe get us close and play better football but he's not the answer now long term but would be tempted until the end of the season contract.

    Evans wouldn't of took us down like Bowyer and believe with Evans we would be sitting clear in the top 3 now.

    However, Rhodes wouldn't of wanted a manager that takes no bull.

    Picture Rhodes calling Evans in to say he's letting Doyle go to Swindon. He would of gone crazy and said are you mad?

    Bowyer is just lucky to be in the game! Even accepting not having his own number 2.

    No manager was stopping relegation last season.

    We were down from game one, get over it.

    I'm over it!

    Concerned Rupp's is nearly as bad as Edin though but over going down.

    As it stands more seem in favour of Doyle ending the season with a promotion + 42 goal tally at Swindon. Bowyer hanging on with us going again in League Two in 20/21 ? in front of 6000 City F'Allers ! You takes your pick...??????

    That's not a genuine choice, it's just a worst case scenario.

    Give me a realistic decision to make.

    If bringing SM guaranteed promotion then yes but I don’t think it does increase our chances.

    And the alternative is SM not doing anything again

    Gary Bowyer has been in the job 2 month longer than Evans.

    I meant to say 'takes time'.

    Evans has successfully transformed a midtable side into a midtable side, but in time there's every chance he can develop the team.

    If he came here, he would need time as well.

    You seem to imply that sacking Bowyer and bringing back McCall would guarantee promotion. Have you not forgotten that McCall had 2 spells as manager, 4 or 5 seasons in charge, and not one promotion. McCall failed in his last managerial job at Scunny.

    Cannot get my head around why bringing him back will improve us.

    Leave Bowyer in charge for me, no hesitation

    The OP is living in cloud cuckoo land along with his sidekick @Fordy117@Fordy117.

    1) We're not languishing in the middle to lower parts of the division.
    2) We've had injuries to key midfielders and probably used Akpan and Devine more than Bowyer intended.
    3) McCall is a proven failure as a manager at this club and his possession based, no end product football would soon have the OP setting up another pointless thread about why we haven't got a +100 goal difference.
    4) Why would McCall want to come back after the way he was allegedly treated by one part of the ownership who's still here?
    5) McCall's last 10 games here result in 9 defeats I believe, and you talk about getting the most out of the players.
    6) The poll shows currently that more than 3 -1 don't want him to return.
    7) Do you want Abbot back too?
    8) I don't think any manager could galvanise the public to buy 20k season tickets. Getting back into league one, is just putting us back where we should have been when Rhodes sold up.
    9) We have harmony back at the club, why rock the boat?
    10) I believe Bowyer will get us up, just not in the style and way you're expecting.

    The teams above us going to go into admin and liquidate? Getting left behind and sleepwalking out of the playoffs.
