January Transfer Window

At our age m8, a renewal is £62.50 !

 

and Salford made a loss of £2.4m last year . Funded by a Singapore Billionaire so he can say The Neville's et al are his pals.

 

And I might rub shoulders with Football Royalty .

Our recent game against Salford at home sold out of hospitality...................................I wonder why, surely they didn't think they would be sharing a table with Beckham...............the nearest they would have got was a bottle of Becks.

 

Yes Peter Lim estimated wealth £2billion.

I think it was Lim who took Gary Neville to Valencia ?.

 

I would have loved the overreaction from the mob who love having a go at our results,but somehow seem to think a team 10 points behind us who have probably spent far more than us are an example to us all. It's a crazy world we live in. Do you honestly think @RonnieBrown that our fans would be perfectly happy now in Salfords position and saying "we are going the right way".

 

If we had been promoted last season like Salford, of course our fans would be happy

 

No one has spent far more than us. That's why everyone is getting on Bowyers back. A top 3 finish is the only acceptable place this season for the money that has been provided for GB. What manager has been backed as well as Bowyer in recent history. He's making a total mess of the chance that is what is getting people's back up.

 

Let's just say they are showing more intent than City, huh ?
As for 10 points adrift ? Pretty measly when you think there are still about 57 points to play for. City are currently on course to fall like a brick - How many points will WE get ? 25 at best, IMO. (as things are)

 

Getting a promotion through the play offs would possibly generate the club more money than autos you should know Bradford City don't do easy.

 

Can you honestly hand on heart think/feel we would be promoted through the playoffs?? They are cup games effectively, not our forte atm.

 

City in a play off final ?

The semis .......... Draw at Home and Lose Away........

Bowyer .... "We defended well, but didn't strike when we needed to. At 5 - 0 down at Northampton (H T) was a hard task, but not impossible to come back from. The players just didn't listen to me (smiling)." ...........

 

Hand on heart if an auto place is not for the taking I'll gladly go through a play off situation I've said that consistently, but lets hope we don't need to, we still have 19 games and 57 points to play for.

 

19 points to play for in Bowyer's world.

 

Struggling to understand your mindset. It's like you think I wanted Bowyer as manager and no can't admit to yourself he is the wrong manager for the club and isn't going to take us up. Hope Rhodes isn't thinking this way as it's weak minded. A powerful person admits their mistakes and addresses the situation.

With your thought process Morecombe can think about the play offs rather than staying up.

You go to games.. you see what's happening!

Yes, we're still in with a chance but only if we act soon because Saturday evening we might not be in a play off position.

It's just not working out for Bowyer and I feel deep inside you know this!

 

I wasn't replying to you, it was in reply to @Onside post.

 

Out of the first line, only Vaughan is a first team regular. Maybe Donaldson would be if not injured, but at his age..
Out of the second line, none of them are.

So this is what I am saying. Who is signing of these transfers. They are either players that aren't automatically first teamers, or they are players that already have their spots filled in their preferred position.

The key to winning a league - look at Liverpool - is consistency. Bowyer hasn't signed a player that is a nailed on first team player. The reason for this could be down to the fact that he's signing (and the board signing off) second rate players, or Bowyer is chopping and changing the formation so much, that players he originally signed as first team starters, now don't have a position anymore.

It's as if no one in the management team - Bowyer, Drury, Rupp, Rhodes are communicating with each other or have a shared vision. I don't see how we can be organised and focused on the pitch, when there's a huge organisational cloud above them.

It's all very wrong.

 

There were loads (including myself) who were seemingly at Christmas parties.

 

How do you know how much we have spent ? Most transfers these days show the fee as undisclosed. Can you provide the proof of our spend compared with others in this division.

 

Exactly 6 of our players are loans with their home teams probably a big part of his wages both Donaldson and Vaughan said they could have had much more lucrative deals elsewhere
