    I'd say we have no option but to have confidence and hope Stefan is as good as his word, this season has been a nightmare no one could disagree (I hope) but we have to go forward with optimism for the coming season, and 13,000+ fans stumping up for season ticket next season suggests to me Stefan has to invest more money.

    It has been poor, but is it Bowyer or the players not responding to him? Let’s face it, they have not played for any manager.

    Season tickets have already been purchased for the present season so fans won't be wasting their money, now it could be a different comment not to waste their time :(.

    Optimism has sold us 13,000 season tickets
    Sadly optimism can't get us out of this mess

    Your right mate but we have to have optimism that Gary Bowyer will.

    Too true they haven't but have any of this seasons managers been of the caliber and strong enough to go in and knock them into shape not too sure GB is that man but we have to give him a chance with his own players (if allowed)

    Totally, otherwise what's the point?
    I have to say though that as much as I am trying to feel optimistic, until it has been confirmed they have actually left the club, I will continue to live in fear of receiving an alert on my phone informing me that the club are delighted to announce Chicksen and NKP have signed contract extensions keeping them here for another 2 years. I had a nightmare about it a couple of weeks ago and I can't get it out of my mind.......

    I know
    Scary isn't it
    Would have liked to have seen him motivate this squad into a better points return than he has

    You know what mate I'm not sure modern footballers give a f**k, the more you hear about footballers contracts etc they hold most of the Aces, wage every week playing or not, this is what you get when an amateur thinks he can play God with something that is so near to our hearts as Bradford City fans.

    Agree it's easy and guaranteed money for them
    On the flip side are we the only team who have these kind of players
    Or have others managed them better and got the best out of them

    I wont be attending. Cant say I've said that about a home game in over 20 years of going. Not going to ruin my bank holiday by just getting pissed off watching those shithouses drift through a game with zero care for the club.

    If the attitude of the players is that abject then it IS up to the Manager and Coaches to kick ass.Unforgivable to lack appetite or motivation and for that matter to side line the fans with their lack of desire.The season may well have gone, but it remains for GB to show us that he has cracked the whip and come down hard on his misfits.

    The truth of the matter is that GB has given up on this squad and like the fans is looking forward to ripping this squad up and replacing it with his own players, The penny dropped with the players that most will either go back to parent clubs or be released and be parting from the club some time ago and it is hard to motivate players who have nothing to play for and know they are unwanted,

    Totally agree I have never seen players with such an inept attitude at this club during the last 50 years some have undoubtedly got the talent but choose for whatever reason not to show it
    Players returning to parent clubs and or seeking new ones will have tarnished their reputation beyond repair with their performances this season and will struggle with only themselves to blame it's not only too late for us it's too late for them as well and all self inflicted
    They and their agents have lost any bargaining power they might have had and if clubs study videos of their performances may have even kicked a ball in professional football for the last time
    Roll on next season with a certain amount of in trepidation we are clinging to ifs at the moment
    The main stumbling blocks are the proof that. Mr Rupp will finance the disposing of these wasters and is GB up to rebuilding this squad with players capable of getting us out of L2
    Interesting times ahead !!!!

    Yes we were. Posted the other day we have gone on runs of 6 defeats and 7 defeats this season already back in September and October.

    It’s not a new thing.
