    Despite some of the shite written on here, the actual number of Bradford City fans who are fully signed up members of lynch mobs are extremely low and the vast majority of us want YOU to succeed rather than having to start again with some more random unknown owners.

    You have had a very bad press for the last 18 months or so, only you can rectify that. It doesn't require promotion and it doesn't require a massive budget, it just requires a set of players who always give 100%, a reasonable budget, a Chairman who blends into the wallpaper and a manager who is left to run all aspects of the football operation like Parky was.

    Provide this and you will get away with another ten years in League one as long as we constantly compete for the playoffs, regularly hit them and occasionally get to the final for a day out (throw in a cup run every three years and you've cracked it). If you manage promotion, we'd probably accept coming straight down as long as we were "up there" the next season.

    That's not being unambitious, it's just being realistic as to what we'll accept. We don't actually want much, just a club to be proud, a club where the ownership and management isn't a two ring circus.

    The best thing you could do is bring back Parkinson, give Stuart a job as a coach, bring in Jamie Lawrence as fitness coach, give them a half decent budget, then sit back, light a cigar and let them get on with it. Your stress levels will soon fall to pretty much normal and you'll be able to walk the streets without fear of one of these deluded internet warriors abusing you. (can't vouch for the ex kit man though, you'll probably have to "take him out" to be safe).

    Good luck.

    FFS does no-one on here have a sense of humour................................. I despair of the lot of you. Can someone please lock this before someone has a brain haemorrhage taking everything written as serious. Of course it's a piss take.

    Almost cracked it, but we'd also need an assistant coach who can be blamed for any shortcomings Stuart may have in his coaching role.

    Dear Edin...

    You and your mate have a fair few million quid.


    None of us do.


    Do what you want, we can’t legally stop you



    Kind regards

    What a convenient time to meet any dissenters - pitch dug up and new drainage to go down!! Hmmm ...@Ricc@Ricc if you get an invite I’d be tempted to decline politely.
