    Please don’t mention McCall, in any shape or form just a slight hint is enough to set a couple off on here, you are only allowed to criticise him, and they will keep it going until the Cows come home.

    We have no idea how our squad will perform, on paper it looks good, but as we all know we don’t play football on paper, whiteboard, computer or Fifa 18. We can start to look at how we are doing in September/October. We still need in my view too good strikers at the least, and that is whether Wyke goes or stays. We also need to have a team out of our squad who can play 442, as I think we will need it.

    On the plus side, this lovely rain, will be working wonders on our pitch.

    Qué? Why did McCall need a 'bye' in his first season? He did brilliantly, creating an attractive passing side, with a fantastic defence, that got to the playoff final and lost by a single offside goal, despite having no striker worth the name available to him for half of it.
    Last season was a different kettle of fish, granted, but no 'bye' required for 2016/17.

    He is talking about his first spell where he affectively got a bye in his first season because he didn’t now anything about the league

    Love it, we've already started the give the team time to jell line.
    In Sept it's the we just need a bit of luck to kick start our season line
    Oct, it's the we're all in it the relegation dog-fight together rallying call.

    However, despite the apologists on here already dusting off their excuses book.
    Even though every time Collins opens his mouth he contradicts himself,
    he insists "We will be 100 per cent ready from August 4th"
    So, he's talking the talk, why would I dis-believe him !!

    Norman's always has had an intense dislike of Stu, if he'd have won the play-off final, Norman wouldn't have given him any credence for it.

    Er...that wasn't his first year. The discussion was around his first stint as manager.

    And actually, as everyone knows, I am a firm believer that a better manager (Parky for example) would have got us up no play off required.

    Sorry @Norman Corner@Norman Corner but you do talk some tosh at times, I very much doubt there is ONE Bradford City fan on here who wants the team, coach or even owners to fail, they fail we as a club fail, get a grip mate.

    Why didn't he then? The season before McCall took over, PP achieved less than McCall on a considerably higher budget.

    Who knows, but the playoff semi final vs Millwall was embarrassing to watch from start to finish.

    I don't think Edin will be so hasty to acknowledge his *@?$ up in appointing him in the first place. I reckon Christmas.
