    I'm hoping that now Leeds have been promoted, their young striker we've reportedly been keeping tabs on, might be available for a loan move. Can't remember his name, but I recall he's highly thought of.

    As for Dylan Motley Hoople, can't say I'm impressed by this. He didn't pull up trees first time round, or second time round. So here's another player back for his third spell.

    And if Tony Mac comes back, then I'm seriously questioning whether to even bother watching next season. Might aswell just do what happened during CV19 and call the season off with us finishing mid table.

    If they sign McMahon then put a fork in me, I'm definitely done!

    Sorry what Salary Cap? Like talking about a vaccine when it's not here. So what you do is carry on as normal like Bolton have signing Doyle and Salford with Tom Clarke the Mansfield with Ollie Clarke.

    Stop using things that I not there!!

    Yes, I can afford a season ticket at any club in the country but I am a Bradford City fan and I wasn't born in the 1960's, I understand that off the pitch is vital and when a club has a shocking owner, awful CEO then failure is on the cards!!

    Div 2 team mate and failing! Truth hurts doesn't it?

    Bolton basically have a team of kids on about 65p a week. It's nonsensical comparing us with 14 players and some of whom are on decent money with Bolton who have 8 kids on 25p a week each. Stop making the comparison. Of course they can sign Doyle and Sarcevic they've loads of money in the playing squad kitty left!

    How much do you think Vaughan and Donaldson are on or O’Donnell if he signs the players we have under contract already probable earn more than the proposed salary cap

    Well there are apparently over 1,000 free agents at the moment - who would you be looking at bringing in?

    Don't care.

    The rule hasn't come in and it might not.

    Signings are not going to be punished now. Why do you think Bolton, Salford and Mansfield are getting the expensive wage signings out of the way now?

    It’s easy to talk like this when you are not managing the books, as a businessman? Get real mate

    He already has one (in a fantasy parallel world), in the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand. Alan and Mark sit either side of him!;)

    Not sure Bolton will stop there though.

    Our squad is almost the same as last season. We are going to be relying on 4 or 5 good loans with our begging bowl out higher up the leagues. God help us. It’s gonna be a long old season

    Absolutely. You cannot be penalised for players you already have on your books.

    Nonsense, our squad is far smaller than last season.

    The squad as in the players we have is almost the same as last season. If we are only signing 2 more players how is it much different to last season? Never said anything about size

    You're not talking any sense and letting the club cloud your brain.

    The way I understand it is this...The EFL has talked about salary capping but not confirmed how it's going to happen. However, teams are now allowed to buy players and the transfer window fully opens in 7 days.

    So, as a businessman I would be thinking sign players I want to sign players on expensive wages first because the EFL can't then turn round and say anything about the players that I have signed because the rule wasn't in place. I could argue that the contract players on the books count and any player from the ruling date but not those in between

    THE RULE HASN'T COME IN!! THE RULE MIGHT NOT COME IN! STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR FAILURE!!!

    Those that make excuses for failure end up going backwards..As a businessman I would be operating like Bolton, Salford and Mansfield not Bradford at this moment.

    We already have big earners on our books and if we were signing Vaughan now it would be up with any signing other clubs are making now.

    For whatever reason, your brain just doesn't want to get it!

    Those that are signed well the rule isn't in place won't count. It's impossible really to count them as the EFL would be punishing them for getting on with business.

    Can't say oh them players you signed in July will be included. Come on Park...You are a smart person.

    I am quite aware of that by the way there is only one or two signing players most are broke Grimsby couldn’t afford to keep Clarke Scunthorpe couldn’t afford Sutton Exeter are having a whip round to try and keep going. The point I am making is we already have a big payroll with big money players on it

    The division is going to be very strange next season.

    Bolton and Salford spending big, others struggling to survive.

    But that has nothing to do with the salary cap that you are pointing out all the time but clear mismanagement and direction from the club.

    Looks to me like the teams spending the money are mismanaging.

    What, really, is the end goal with Salford? Tens of millions to create an infrastructure from nothing? They can afford it, I guess, but really?

    What's the end goal for Bolton?

    I'm sceptical about these two.

    But it will work well next season, that's for sure!
