Which rule is that? Surely it’s at the clubs discretion as to who they choose to start. Payne didn’t have that clause in his contract from Jan.

 

But I’m referring to when Clarke started and Payne was on the bench - they’re both involved in the match day squad.

 

Reel him in boys we got him

 

You could say the same about Josh and Akpan then.

It's not as if they played nearly every game like A.O'Connor.

If we are counting on Jake Reeves then this club is in deep sh@te.

 

Age is of no concern in my view. It's all down to ability and impact. If City carefully 'blood' them correctly, and they're young - fair enough (But City rarely do that ). It's all about being good enough to make the squad (match day 11 plus the bench). Fail that for over a season, and you're going nowhere, quickly.

In addition ....... I will mention EVERTON ............ They introduced both Rooney and Cadamatri as youngsters - One made it BIG time, the other one failed, time and again. Success is not a given, no matter how much potential .... But chances given should always be taken, no matter how limited that time may be.

They say football is a short career ......... Players themselves have a say in that length, in how hard they work to perform, and for how long. It's OK having a great Academy set up, but if desire is missing, there's no difference between Man City and Bradford Park Avenue bred players.

 

Exactly, he is still a young lad but his form and injuries are why it is only a 1 year contract - probably make or break season for Danny and I really hope he has a positive input on the team

 

He hasn't played for over a year mate.

Let me repeat- over a year.

He won't be nowhere near the level required and he wasn't that good before he didn't play.

 

It wasn't a fair comment at all.

You're looking at it from individuals

The managers including Bowyer was sh@te
The coaches were sh@te
The owners were sh&te
The board were sh&te
The team was sh&te

You can't just say I don't want don't want these players playing for us. You have to look at the bigger picture and the bigger picture are the points I have made out.

If the manager is good
The coaches are good
The owner is good
The board is good

Then guess what?

THE TEAM IS GOOD!

 

Exiting times ahead, Devine has a good personality.

 

Which is fine if you have plenty of casks ready with some real ales. Sadly we only have lagers, all fizz and no quality

 

What a complete an utter load of rubbish. Firstly, we have a keeper that fits the rules of an own grown player. I’d rather pick him for the bench than a player who isn’t going to impact a game.

Secondly, “we have players under contract earning not far off 10k a week”???? Do you still believe in Santa and the Toothfairy too?

 

Would you call AT LEAST £1m to spend on wages, small? - given the squad we currently have? Lincoln, who had the highest wage budget in L2 last season, were paying on average £2.2k per week, per player. Do the maths.

It’s highly likely that McBurnie will be sold and some of our current crop of players will be offloaded somehow. GB is bulking the squad with players who will serve a purpose, in what will be a long season.

 

Not true Dennis. Don’t we still hold the registration of Sykes-Kenworthy? He deserves to fill the bench and the home grown quota as much as, if not more so, than Devine

 

Really?

Care to say who and give some figures?

Either way I'm calling bullshit.

 

Danny Devine is a waste of wages in what is a small competitive budget.

Bradford City never learn and pi@@ about. It's no shock we're in div 2.. none!

How this club is ran is embarrassing!

 

Jesus Christ, he is probably fifth choice centre mid and you're whining that he isn't good enough...

Give it a rest.

If Bowyer were saying he's a 46 game a season player, it might be worth discussing. Are you going to complain if we keep any apprentices too??

 

Read it again and come back to apologise to me ....!
