    You have enough to moan about with Edin. Stop seeing something that isn’t there to fit your agenda

    What Collins chose to say when asked about Killa isn't really relevant. That was a matter for Collins. We need to focus on what Killa has said since he was more involved in what happened than anybody on here. Killa says unequivocally that it was Collins' decision to get rid of him. There's nothing I've heard in Killa's interview to suggest otherwise.

    It doesn't really matter to me whether the Killa decision was Rahic's or that of Collins.

    Ultimately, IMO Killa's untimely departure from our club is yet another consequence of having a complete amateur who is woefully out of his depth at the top.

    Have I told you what to think and say? My only agenda is to see my team stay in league 1 as an absolute priority, then to go on and build for promotion to the Championship. That our club returns to the community club it was out of the wreckage and is now Bradford City.

    I don’t have a problem disagreeing with what I say, I do however have a problem with derogative remarks and comments. I am not moaning about Rahic, I am a concerned and worried supporter that our club may be on a slippery road to nowhere. I turn up both home and away to watch the team and I will continue to give them my support. However, I am not blind as to what is happening to my club, so I will not stay silent nor will I believe what rubbish is chucked out there for fans unless it is backed up with concrete evidence. That is almost impossible because everyone is being gagged in one format or another.

    Nothing and I mean NOTHING happens at this club without Edins input,
    Edin it seems would prefer low paid average players than expensive (In his eyes) Good ones and as such Killgallons fate was sealed

    I’m at a loss why anybody would defend the indefensible. I don’t give 2 furry shxtes whether he was let go by Collins or Edin.

    Rahic has got 99% of owning a football club wrong so far so is it any wonder we blame him for the other 1%

    A dog left a steaming turd in my back garden yesterday I said to the Mrs that’ll be Edin’s dog that.

    He doesn’t deserve a crumb of support

    i dont understand your post here. In your opening sentence you say that it's fine to believe he made those mistakes and then in your second paragraph you go onto say that its garbage and I'm making things up? Which one is it?

    If you also read my post i never once confidently said that Rahic was responsible for Kilgallon's departure and stated it as fact. I said I can see why people would believe that narrative and the reasons for it are very plausible. You may well find it harsh, but he's an easy but also jusitfiable answer to the above.

    I’m no way an Edin supporter but I’m finding it tedious when every single communication released by either the club or former members, is twisted (with or without evidence) back to being Edin’s fault.
    As someone mentioned above, Killa could quite easily have said he believed Edin was behind the decision to release him. It’s not as if he’s going to come back to the club anytime soon.

    I’m sure 99% of supporters know and can see the damage caused by the owners, but correct me if I’m wrong, I can’t think of one former player, manager or even current manager, that has come out and publicly criticised Edin. That’s not to say that his actions haven’t caused disharmony throughout the club as a whole.

    As fans we always have to have a scapegoat, be it Lawn, Hanson or Rahic.

    Unfortunately until the current owners leave, we are going to have disharmony at the club which is a shame, no matter what side of the divide you sit on.

    Probably because Rahic kept out of the conversation with killa and let Collins do his dirty work so it showed Collins had some balls and some clout to the other players

    Either way in my opinion Collins was Edins puppet and play thing

    If all the dialog comes from Collins killa cant say any different

    Collins was edins bitch for sure

    Thats pretty much the gist of it. Collins was appointed so Rahic had a bigger say in team management. He really is playing his own real life version of championship manager.

    Because Killa has no evidence that instruction came from Rahic to Collins to say what he said to killa.

    If Collins said it then he has rightly stated that it is Collins who made the decision.

    My point is that it would not surprise if Rahic instructed Collins to say it.

    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:

    It's a white lie that any manager would have told. If he'd had come out and said that Killa wasn't part of his plans and the move to Hamilton had fallen through then he'd have ended up looking daft because he'd either have a senior and (I assume) well paid player not being involved which would show bad planning or if he did get in the matchday squad then it would either mean that whoever he displaced from the team was even worse than a player who wasn't good enough or that Collins couldn't identify talent. In addition he'd also likely annoy Kilgallon even more by publicly saying that he wasn't good enough than he did by just telling him privately.

    Edin is ultimately responsible for Kilgallon leaving because it was Edin who appointed Collins as manager. However, seeing as it was reported at the time that the decision to let Kilgallon go was Collins' decision, that was further reinforced by Edin during his apology interview when he said it was Collin's decision to let Kilgallon go and now Kilgallon has come out and said that it was Collins' decision him go, that all rather points to the logical conclusion that the decision to let Kilgallon go came from Collins' and not Edin.

    One other thing to consider is that axing Kilgallon will have saved quite a bit on the wage bill. Would we have been able to bring in Ball, L'OBrien and J O'Brien if he hadn't gone?

    What doesn't make sense is Collins made his decision for what ever reason Kilgallon was not part of his future plans then played him in 3 pre-season games.
    We all have our opinions on players and how they perform but after the first few games our coach was not prepared to give him a game to see if Matt could improve our defense, but thought better of it because he had already told Kilgallon he was not in his plans going forward, that says it all about Collins, a rookie coach out of his depth, given the chance to play Kilgallon would have jumped at the chance and maybe improved the defence.
