    Nobody, but we still have to get rid, and pay up their contracts if that is what it takes! Taking this toxic bunch of tossers into league 2, we might as well announce we have given up before a ball is kicked.

    Sounding pissed off with them on the radio and having the balls to drop them are two completely different things. It’ll be much the same side next week

    To the player's I do hope you will be ashamed to collect your wages next week not one of you deserve it
    If we the supporters put in just one shift like you lot have we would have been SACKED on the spot
    We pay good money to turn up and watch our club home and away
    You lot go on the park and stick two fingers up at us because you don't give a shit about our club
    Well do us all a favour and f--k off and please do not turn out for Bradford City football club again

    The problem, as we all must surely know, is that this squad of 'players' is utterly cr*p, has no bottle, no spirit or heart and doesn't give a flying feck. End of. Good night.

    PS Pep couldn't get this lot through the first round of the 'Local Pub Sunday Morning Cup'. They are useless and just don't care.

    I sat behind the dugouts yesterday and for the first half and maybe the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half Bowyer was busy shouting instructions, organising the team and directing them. After that he did nothing, just stood in quiet conversation with Todd. It was like he’d given up. Id love to know what the conversation was about, probably how they could get out of the job while saving the most face.

    Isn't it always how this situation goes?

    Just chuck in any old useless player from the youth team because "they can't be any worse"

    Slowest City side i can remember. Unfortunately also the most physically weak as well. It took some talent to assemble a squad so lacking in very basic attributes to lower league success. Hats off to Rahic and Abbott.

    Its not. You can move a lot and do it slowly or you can move rarely but at speed.

    O'Brien played yesterday and we were still slow.

    We're a slow team. I agree. But that's because we're a slow squad. Theres nothing the current manager can do about that apart from swap one slow player for another one or bring in some random kids.

    This is why this season isn't all Edin's fault. Goes back to what @Inspector@Inspector was saying.

    The Jan window was a shambles. What's cost us big time!

    We all knew O'Connor and NKP are not good enough and we needed a forward target man or at least a decent one with pace.

    The blame has to be on Hopkin and the board as well as Edin.

    Scannell won’t stay. He wanted out a few weeks after joining and he’ll find another club. He’s no loss really because we never really had him.

    Doyle I wouldn’t keep. I think there are much better ways to spend what will be a big wage - we need someone younger who can go on to be a better player. Akpan - no thanks. Absolute pansy who’ll get bullied by players half his size. I’d much rather have a Jim O’Brien type back. McCartan will go, probably to Lincoln and they’ll have few quid from going up. Riley will be a problem - who’ll take him? Maybe a few, but he’s on a big contract so will he take a drop or will we have to take a hit. Who’d want O’Connor? Or Wright? Or Reeves?

    In terms of players with big contracts who could be hard to shift I think it centres around Wright, Riley, O’Connor, Akpan and Reeves. I bet Patrick is on a few quid too. I reckon that lot draw at least 20k per week between them. That’s 6-8 good league two players we can’t get if we’re saddled with them.

    I think you’re being extremely optimistic thinking three years.

    I’d suggest they didn’t give them tin hats. As OUR leaving gift.
