    Would not surprise if those words came from someone higher up than Collins.. especially with his link to McCall.

    You're kinda right.

    Edin can't really win in this particular instance because even if he wasn't involved in any way, his last action was to sign off on Kilgallon's release - a week before sacking the man who apparently forced him out of the club.

    Lo and behold, the next manager walks in and asks where on earth the leaders are.

    I just wish it was a sketch show, but it's not.

    Any chance we can find Edin a new club? I don't care who or where as long as he promises never to come back.

    Pleased about that for I was discussing it today with a former sponsor who has spoken with Edin(and others) on many occasions. He reckons Edin is not the most honest person in the world(his actual description was only 2 words) and that for certain, Edin was solely responsible for the demise of Killa. My problem is, should I believe you or the guy who has given £thousands to the club and is on first name terms with directors and executives past and present.

    I spoke to a mate of Killgallons in Ulleskelf, Tadcaster. York area just last week he told me that Kilgallon was forced out of the club and was told he was too old and injury prone by Rahic.

    Such a shame

    Look, Edin may have kicked out all the staff, and eliminated almost every player from the McCall days, but what suggests he would have done the same to one more?

    Totally unrealistic.

    Best of all there is no evidence that it was Collins decision. A few days before he was exalting Kilgallon’s professionlism and was saying he was part of his plans. 4/5 days later he has gone. Now either Collins is a outright liar or he was taking the flak for the Ego.

    So he can interfere if it suits the fans but not when it doesn’t?

    He backed his manager he appointed at the time. What we ask for him to do. And when he does that, he’s in the wrong?

    As I said he can’t win. I get you don’t like him but come on, even you can’t believe what you’re typing

    Wow, so you're 22 according to your profile? Young ones are knobheads and old ones miserable bastards. I've been going twice the length you have been alive young man. I think you'll find that the supporters have supported the team and in fairness haven't given Rahic as much shit as he should have had given that in 2018 we are 71 out of 72 EFL teams - 23 points from 38 games. But as long as you're happy then everything is hunky dory. Really proud of our Chairmen, doing a fantastic job!!

    He was 100% Rahic’s mouthpiece. At least we can be thankful that the current manager isn’t likely to go down that route but the damage is already done for this season.

    It’s plain for anyone that has their eyes open, a summer recruiting a puss poor squad followed by appointing a coach with about as much idea as Mr Bean has left us where we are now. It’s no surprise really when you look at it properly and it’s going to take something close to a miracle and a lot of money in January to salvage something from it.

    Rahic ought to stay in Germany, he’s neither wanted nor welcome in Bradford.

    Here are some of the recent poor decisions we have made from a player point of view:

    *Getting rid of Wyke for peanuts and to a team in the same division at that.

    *Didnt 't offer Law a contract despite him playing a big part in our success and somehow deeming Dieng a better option to him, even when he was clearly an inferior player

    *Completely ommiting Kilgallon from the the match day squad and thinking Adam Chicksen and rMellor were better Centre Backs.

    *The whole Doyle fiasco and the bizzare circumstances behind his departure.

    Now consider the shambolic working relationship between Rahic and McCall, the overall cuntishness of Rahic, the players in that photo and join the dots. For none of the above to point back to that picture and hence Rahic you have to basically write it all off as a sheer coincidence and give Rahic some benefit of the doubt. Given the reputation he's built for himself, I can see why fans aren't prepared to do that I think Edin is an easy but also justifiable answer to the poor decision making we've seen recently. Whether he did or didn't play his part in Kilgallon leaving, the reasons for thinking he did aren't unprovoked or without substance as you seem to be Implying.

    Where I work..

    If there are any sackings to be done it's made at board room level but left to the manager to do the deed

    The MD doesn't get involved..

    By the way I'm the MD of where I work :scream::grinning:

    I think he played in the Sheffield Wednesday game at Rawdon Meadows, but if Collins had no plans for Killgalon to be part of the set up, why not just put him on the transfer list, that would have given us chance to move (we assume) one of the bigger wage earners off the books and maybe a clause about appearance money it would have given Matt more of a chance to find a club possibly nearer.
    Rumour around at the time was he was targeted as on of the last supper players and Edin wanted him out, but we'll assume that's all it was rumour, why after such a disastrous start with potentially Collins job at stake he didn't swallow his pride and play him it did not make sense to most fans,

    It’s a lad that genuinely knows him, I live in York. I played golf with this guy who’s a long time personal friend Of Matt Killgallons and he told me the above.

    Total shame

    it was definitely Edin's call to get rid of Killa.

    regardless of who's mouth it came out of to Killa himself, it was Edins call to get him out of the club.
