    I for one can’t wait for 2018 to end. We had a decent side, wasn’t setting world a light but was happy. Then 2018 Yeovil a sacking and a run of defeats that I never saw coming. Grayson for me wasn’t my choice, never liked his methods and his style of pay. And then summer came excited what’s gonna change then Collins appointment surprised but players like Scannell and Riley Akpan looking bright. Pre season came and losing pretty much all was definitely surprised as never before. Another sacking Hopkin in and still no better what next we ask?????? Relegation wouldn’t surprise another sacking???

    Answer: get shut of all your players and replace with cheaper weaker player. #Edinout

    We haven't suddenly become a bad team. We've been one since the first game of last season.

    It's like that old joke about the yard brush. I've had this very same brush for over 50 years, I've only changed the head ten times and the handle twice.

    It's still the same Bradford City as when they were getting to a final, beating Chelsea and challenging for promotion to the Championship, but the owner has replaced its components with inferior ones.

    Imagine if Edin did this to a corporation he’d have been laughed out of the boardroom by now it’s ridiculous this is being allowed to happen.

    Have a wage structure based on the Conference and ............................ er....................................you get Conference type of players.

    When things go wrong in most organisations, the Chief Executive Officer, takes responsibility. In many cases they resign.

    Our Chief Executive Officer is Rahic. He makes all the decisions. He has failed and should go.

    Appoint someone else to run the club and become an distant figure like the Glaysers do at Manchester United.
    Publish the budget for transparency, so we can see how we compare with other clubs.

    No longer time just to say sorry! Rahic has not given any indication that he has changed, all we are going to get is more of the same, as this individual knows football and that he is 'right'.

    What really pisses me of is that we were two or three decent players away from getting promoted to the championship after the playoff defeat, yet that prat Rahic totally dismantled a decent team and brought in cheap dross and left us in this horrible mess.

    It's not sudden is it?

    Pretty much every on field decision which has been taken since the day they walked into the club - with the possible exception of replacing Hanson with Wyke - has weakened the team.

    We're just now seeing the end of that process.

    It all went tits up after the play off final with millwall. Edin wouldn't let Stuart build the squad how he wanted, even though he just took us to within 90 mins of the championship, and we are now paying the price and looking like we will be in league 2 next season.

    Sorry lawn, Rhodes, parky, stuart. All your hard word has been undone by a complete c*nt!!

    Sadly, we have an egomaniac who thinks he’s knows football. Sadly he doesn’t.

    If he was a business man like he claims. On his performance. Lord Surat would tell straight - your fired

    This hasn’t happened suddenly. It’s been happening since May 2017. Stuart McCall pulled off a miracle keeping the side he had last season near the top 6 till January.

    The more I think about it, the angrier I get at the idea we sacked him.

    I’m actually starting to dislike our club because of what Rahic has made us into. When we go down this season it’ll be entirely self inflicted.

    Dismantle a side that were 5 mins from being in the Championship and rebuild as if you’re playing football manager.
