    Look at Angol and Sutton.

    Neither have played until Levi broke into the team recently, but did you hear a peep from either player?

    Look at Songo'o.

    He's had a few sub appearances, any sign of disharmony from him?

    First and foremost if you're a professional football player, you make sure every single paying fan in that stadium understands you're giving 100 % for that club.

    You're allowed to be unhappy with the manager. You're allowed to be unhappy with the owner. But you make it clear you are playing for that shirt, that club, those fans, and you make it clear every time you step on the pitch.

    Don't waste my time as a paying fan if you're going to have a hissy fit and dismiss the captaincy to the club I've watched for 20 years. AOC threw it all down the toilet the day he slung the armband away. He can do one for me, now, and in the future. Not interested. Unprofessional clown, don't want him associated with this club.

    I don't want to hear stories about how daddy came down to the training ground because you didn't get played. Cole, Gibson and Harratt were failed by their parents, but each one had the chance to say "you know what, I'm going to work harder".

    Were they badly advised? For sure. Can they make up for it elsewhere? Absolutely, they can. But not until they understand the people around them are morons holding them back. Who's advising most players? Who's telling them don't be a total idiot? Surround yourself with those people.

    Don't be a moaner. Don't be entitled. Try your best. That's all fans ask. If you can't do that, personally, you're not for me.

    The AOC armband incident was blown out of all proportion. Prefer to remember the many last minute blocks and goal line clearances he threw himself into. That said it was probably the right time for him and the club to part ways

    And the fact he was stripped of the captaincy by Drury when taking over the Wednesday and then given it back after 40 mins at 4-0 when Drury realised he'd made the balls up of all balls up.

    Good defender on his day and very comfortable on the ball, will do a good job now he is back in this division

    Good luck to the lad just to injury prone to build anything around him .......... if he stays fit I’m sure he will make a decent contribution for Sutton

    That’s better than any fee , frees up salaries , frees up squad space. Good business imho.

    I didn’t hear O’Connor moan about anything it’s people getting upset about a petty incident

    Speaking of AOC I see he's joined Harrogate.

    I still think he's good for this level but accept it was probably right for him and City to part ways

    Why ? Bradford City are a Private Ltd Company and other than the basics that are posted on Companies House, no-one, other than the owners and the tax man) has the right to see their accounts.

    I agree, but to be fair Sparks did promise transparency with regards to the accounts. I'm guessing we still only file abbreviated accounts

    The accounts to 30 June 2021 were actually full accounts where the club filed alot more information than they are legally required to do. Hopefully this continues going forward although I wouldn't personally be filing a detailed profit & loss account at the back of the accounts.
