    Yet more voices added to the rallying call.

    Both Ainsworth and Holloway were very clear: let the manager manage!!

    (If only they knew he wasn't the manager... just a coach... we don't need a manager, because you-know-who continues to value his own input...)

    Strikes me that this is a big moment for the R+R regime in more ways that one. Yes, they had to get the appointment right; but equally, they have to get their own performance right going forward... whether results pick up or not, how much interference comes from the top could make all the difference to any proposed protests.

    Let's hope they heed the many, many, many warnings coming their way.

    The question is how will we know? Do we have to wait till January to see what happens in Transfer window?

    Good question.

    Other key indicators will be key players or staff leaving, or Brunker actually getting game time ;)

    Be a big indicator this week when his own men are brought in. One thing that would show they are letting in get on with it is if they bring in their own head of recruitment if they feel they need one.

    Otherwise say thanks to Abbott and save on his wages and let that go into first team and let Hopkins get on with it

    What if he doesn’t bring his own men in?

    Don't be silly Jon, it is all rumour and unfounded speculation remember.

    All of the journalists, fans, ex players, ex managers, ex staff and other managers have an agenda against Edin Rahic and Bradford City.

    Key for me will be if it is solely DH decision, whatever he chooses to do. My own feeling is he must have had a positive team alongside him at Livingston who were part of their success and it would make sense to get some of these people around him

    I highly doubt he will stick with Drury and Abbott. Even Grayson brought Snodin in

    Edin denying that he's an interfering oaf...

    “The club would never sign a player for the first team when the manager does not have the final say.

    “Why would a club do that?"

    Hmm, so which manager okayed the Josh Wright signing?

    And why are we suddenly saying 'manager'?

    Problem seems to be that he needs players not coaches/assistants!

    Ah, same level of disdain and disrespect the overlord shows to pretty much anyone and everyone in the game, that you, Edin?

    We’re now in to 9/4 to go down.

    Our worst start in terms of points since the season we were relegated from the premiership.

    Edin knows football.

    That is some achievement.

    When you take s step back, it still stretches credibility that we are in a position where not being relegated from league one will count as a success.

    Seems a far cry from the Millwall game when we were so close to getting into the championship.

    It will be a long time before we are that competitive again.
