    I believe Greg was also 100% responsible for bringing Riley to the club. That's probably close to 10k a week wasted on those two players alone.

    Im very unforgiving to last seasons squad.
    It'll hit home when the fixture list comes out and we're at Grimsby.

    One down, 15 to go

    A tad optimistic Yen on the 15;) GB saying it might take 2 windows to fully rebuild the squad. Like you I have no affection for any of them, they all failed the basics ie ‘want to put in 100%’ for our club.

    The managers and owners failed as well.

    Can't just blame the players.

    The managers and owners have to be made accountable for failings in a business!

    I agree, can't wait for Orient at home, I'll give him such warm applause.

    I wouldn’t disagree. Look I have worked for some of the worst managers there is, but I always had my own professional standards that I employed, it is hard but you don’t want your reputation to suffer. Look at Brunker he was low skill striker, but not once did he fail to put in the effort. He shouldn’t have been here and that is down to the management.

    The personality thing is important. Each club has it's own identity. Parkys success stemmed largely from bringing in players who represented an identify that fans could relate to.

    Wright = Essex playboy. That's about as far away from what we are as you can get. And he was made captain.

    And that seems to be a point a few are missing on here. I posted just after Breunker left that unlike a bunch of the others, at least he put the effort in, making it almost more unacceptable witnessing the seemingly lesser effort exerted by much better technical players.

    We can't say Edin effected the non playing staff but didn't the players.

    The hiring of Collins and Hopkins was an utter joke!

    You're a professional but if you're working with Micky mouse you wouldn't be happy with the direction of the business.

    Bradford City is a big club in the lower leagues and has 13k-15k every home game which is great but if the club lacks direction or ambition then players will just turn off because the club is fake!

    Bradford City need to start acting like a big club on and off the pitch! The friendly with the CL champions Liverpool and signings made yesterday helps!

    Wow hark at you being a glass quarter full dude. today ........ go on you! keep it up Fordy...... I look at what we had last year and what we have this year. So far much better. And if Reeves gets is bum in gear and Scannel stays who knows what we may do.

    Not counting on Reeves but either way and not confident we will keep Scannell but if anyone thinks Bowyer isn't wanting automatic pomotion then they need to give their head a shake.

    Bradford City have to go all out for promotion.

    Absolutely spot on, in that Mrs O.
    Over 40 years I worked under some right schitt excuses for Managers - But never once did I allow their own misgivings affect my own performance and efforts. I did what I did for myself, and the Company who paid my wages, whilst ensuring I didn't 'short change' the customer, in terms of service delivered.
    It's called personal pride.

    I don't think the problem is running. He can run. He just doesn't tackle.

    The prosecution presents the following as evidence m'lud.....

    Our recovery fell apart when Brunker left, having met the lad he was really quite charming. Maybe Hopkin removed some key characters that just deflated the team spirit in january? not that it matters but just a theory.

    Give over. The atmosphere at City was bad and he was frozen out because Hopkin didn’t rate him. However, the fact is, he stopped putting in the effort and that for me was his crime. Gary Jones wasn’t the most gifted footballer, but his desire and effort still makes him a cult hero.

    You see the difference right?

    Fordy for Christ’s sake man, get it into your head that players showing a complete lack of desire, ambition and motivation has nothing to do with owners, coaching staff or fans.

    You either show the desire or you don’t and many of the players last season fell into that category. I’m not sure why you constantly try to defend the players that simply did not put in the effort. A lack of skill will be laughed at (Brunker), but a lack of effort (Wright / O’Connor) will simply not be tolerated by our fans....!

    Agree Fordy but one owner has left after trousering a fortune and the one who has stayed has lost a fortune. Serves him right for going to sleep on watch but looks to me as though he should be looking at the bad guy for accountability.

    Think he will have to prove his fitness before anyone else even thinks of signing him.
