    the fact that he has also come out and said that he knows this will be his last job in England doesn't fill me with confidence either..

    How else would you decide on how long people get to be in a job if it isn't based on how long they deserve to be? Lottery? Dice?

    Sparks is close to McCall. He’s staying for this full season. I’d get used to him being here

    He is the CEO. Being close to someone no longer comes into it. He now has a much larger remit and responsibilities.

    Her need to step up and show that he is his own man. Show he has some kahunas.

    So, do you want him to show he's the big man and sack Stuart McCall? My personal belief is that something is being built at City and it's all coming from within, the Bradford way. Whether it works or not is anyone's guess but McCall, Sparks and the rest of the staff at City have my support. They all need to work bloody hard and get the club going again.

    Well said, only by doing things the world-renowned "Bradford Way" will we repair the "special bond" between the club and fans.

    One day soon we'll all be able to say that "we are the magic" again.

    Been on a work/travel jaunt. Back over in the US, Asia and Australia. Back in UK for a while (yes I self isolated!) before heading off again early next year.

    Thanks though!

    And we lose the next generation of Bradford kids to the likes of Leeds,Liverpool and Man U.

    That’s the Bradford city way ;)

    I'm glad it is not just me.

    Wherever I go in the world, when the border control worker see Bradford as the place of birth in my passport, they refuse to let me in until I have given them a detailed talk on the "Bradford Way".

    "The Bradford Way" seems about as good as "The West Ham Way", but with amber rather than blue

    Insane!

    Any other club in the land that would do that while sat 20th?

    Are we actually trying to become a laughing stock?

    can anyone provide a clear reason as to why he deserves a contract extension? this smacks of "old boys club".

    I was saying the same things while bowyer was here, I'll be saying the same about Stuarts replacement - if Stuart goes.

    So your idea then is to never sack a manager regardless or results, performances or league position?

    How have you tried to reason with me? I'm giving my opinion and explained WHY I have my view.

    I don't have my head in the sand. I have concerns and if we get relegated this season it would be devastating. But we'd survive, I'm sure. I don't want that, though. No city fan does.

    How's that for a standard reply?
