    was he given the option to go of his own accord by Rupp and Rhodes , go now and save face or be sacked in 3 games

    Just a thought , maybe they have someone already lined up

    We didn't have to accept his resignation which shows that Rhodes didn't have much faith in him either.

    What does it matter to Rhodes? He won’t be here in the summer anyway. Probably just clearing the books for admin.

    Time will tell, I think if a manger gets annouced in the next few days then possibly. But the only person who i think could manage us wouldn't. Hoping to get a recently sacked championship manger? No idea who though!

    Rhodes is a Bradford fan and a former owner. Of course it matters.

    Nonsense.

    Well you are talking bollocks. It probably matters to Rhodes more than anyone on this message board.

    A daft flippant comment with absolutely no thought behind it. Quite insulting to Mr Rhodes too.

    I agree, think they do have someone lined up. Courteous goodbye and thankyou, no we tried to keep here, so I am guessing it was probably mutual consent.

    It’s a difficult one to call, personally I don’t think we can get anyone in who can turn us around, but we also have to think long term, and that is also difficult not knowing what is going on beyond May.

    I hope you are right and there is some kind of thought behind this rather than it just being Hopkin's decision alone. The very last thing we need now is a panic appointment.

    You clearly didn’t read the answer in the context it was meant, not surprising really.

    You are 100% right about having to think long term. The worst thing we could do imo is get someone until the end of the season like we did with Grayson, with the offer of extending the contract after that because we all know how well that turned out. Whoever comes in has to be up for giving it a right good go to stay up, but also has to be someone the fans feel they can get behind next season if they fail. A lot is banking on this one - get the right person in and even if we go down, ticket season sales may still be fairly healthy, get it wrong and it doesn't bear thinking about.

    It’s irrelevant. We need to focus forwards. Not on who killed who.

    Purely guessing here but imagine there'd be some sort of communication after every game with manager and say Rhodes. Maybe its been on cards for a few weeks and as every week goes on the pressure builds up. A decision was maybe suggested and then DH decided to walk.

    Why?

    We need the best man for the job and if it's Evans then so be it.

    This isn't a charity.. we're not here to be liked.

    Whoever gets the job has a enormous job to motivate this lot of players, whatever people say about Hopkin when his players go over the white line the manager is powerless, I think Saturday was the last straw with him.

    Rhodes cares the most because his dad was once rich enough to buy the club?

    And you're saying HE was talking bollocks?
