I'd say the same with regards Stuart staying, he got us into that mess (some mess in top 6 nearly all season) if your saying Simon Grayson should have had time the same has to apply to Stuart surely ?.

 

I think what is really good and important is that Bowyer already knows a lot of the players. He's managed Paudie, Mellor, O'Connor and Akpan and he wanted to sign Payne, Doyle and Ball. Clearly, he knows their strengths and they all suit his playstyle which wasn't the case under Hopkin.

 

So Bradford City are in a mess on and off the pitch then!

Administration, take over - anything could happen over the next 12 months!

Grim!

 

Sensible coment but that's too boring and dull and doesn't fall into line with the mass hysteria some fans are determined to react with at any given opportunity. Probably makes sense on both sides to get him in and get him started. When a manager has just walked out on a long-term contract, why are people so obsessed with them, they mean nothing in modern football.

 

What...!! they actually practise to be this bad....?

 

Fordy, you keep mentioning Kewell, what the hell has he ever done to warrant your endorsement, compared with Bowyer for example?

 

So come the summer we will have no manager, No chairman as Rhodes leaves, An owner who has no interest in football and wants to sell and leave, Only Bradford City could allow this situation to develop,

 

Well one thing for sure he knows the situation he's coming in to.
No Rahic watching over his shoulder has to be a massive positive.

 

Only about 5 times in the last year

 

So it is Bowyer until the end of the season.
The board didn’t heed your advice.
Will you back the club in its hour if need or distract from the relegation fight ahead?
It’s your choice. I’m backing Bowyer because anything else is self defeating and can’t be controlled.

 

It seemed to convince Hopkin/the board to put all their eggs in one basket and make a big effort to keep Jack Payne.

On reflection the amount we are allegedly paying out in his wages would have been better directed elsewhere.

 

Where is the evidence that Evans has had success in quickly turning around a failing squad? It's not his forte. He likes to bring in a shed load of his own players, including loads of strikers, not motivate a dispirited bunch, most of whom he wouldn't have signed if he'd been in charge earlier.
A sergeant major type is not what we need now. We need someone to get the defence organised better - Todd is a specialist at this, apparently - and a motivator who can work out how best to turn a set of individuals into a functioning team. Hopefully Bowyer is that man.
Winding up and frustrating the opposition, Evans-style, wouldn't keep us up. And I don't want to watch my team doing that.

 

I was hounded for not being optimistic enough when I mentioned the same point. We absolutely need stability.

 

Peter Jackson with his two twin boys David Jackson and Peter Jackson Jr.

 

What I liked is that he had Wright & Pauline O'Connor take part in the warm up.

Basically highlighting that they're close to getting in the squad.

Instead of having players sat at home at least players know that in the squad or not they've a massive part to play for this club.

and people wanted Evans to manage us as well!!

 

I think Maltby was our home grown player on the bench today. If he had not been there, we would have had 6 on the bench, not 7.

 

I honestly think this is one of the most stupid post ever. How many managers are we going to go through if they are sacked after 3 matches and 1 poor performance.
Bowyer should be given a contract for at least a year with a remit to start thinking about next season

 

That’s exactly why we are appointing him. Because we are a club in disarray.
