    Well that's me and my kids renewing for next season.

    Well done City and for the first time in about 3 months I'm actually looking forward to the game.

    Hope he's not pointing out where the ball should be played

    Cullen was actually happy to comeback, WH gave him the choice of City, Bolton or Oxford. He chose City mainly as he felt there was "unfinished" business. Unfortunately WH weren't keen on Rahic's brilliant idea that they should pay a development fee to City as well all his wage

    I hope your not suggesting that nice Mr Rahic interfered in any way the last time he was here, and McGod worked with one arm tied behind his back.
    Just been down at Rawdon Meadows unfortunately Stuart must have been doing his press work but Kenny Black was there along with around 20+ City fans and most were saying if nothing else Stuart will bring most aspects of our club together you'll always have a few of the ant-Christ mob but lets raise the roof on Saturday and try and generate positivity that has been missing at Valley Parade for the last 24 months

    No one absolutely no one cares more about the club and us than Stuart. And this time we should take care of our Ginger General and appreciate we have him with us again. I attended A Night With Stuart McCall at the Firepit in Bingley about three months ago. Stuart was as engaging as ever full of anecdotes and tales of his time in the game. I stood there thinking "if only he could return". He was asked but he roundly told us to back the current manager; back the players, back the club. He was with us nigh on three hours Springsteen would have been proud !

    I posted on here some weeks ago how we should change and bring Stuart back. It met with enthusiasm mostly but with some less so. But for once I am going to thank Julian Rhodes & Herr Rupp for some long overdue football and business common sense.

    Saturday cannot come soon enough ! I wont get carried away because I do feel that the decision is a month too late. But we are where we are. Stuart & Kenny Brown will try to hone a workable unit out of Boreyers misfiring misfits. They wont lack direction and some belief. Time will tell.

    But today is to celebrate Stuarts return and the return of Bantam progressivism. We got Our City back !

    Of course this divides opinion - personally I loved the football under Stuart and nothing can surely be as bad as we had under Bore-yer.
    We the supporters, the management and the players have a slim chance to save our season - all that I would ask is that we as supporters get behind the team positively and in huge numbers - at least over the next two home matches - and see where it might take us.

    If he can't galvanise this group of players and put a bit of pride and passion back in their bellies, I doubt anyone could.

    Love the man !, but not too sure about 3rd time as manager, I think, like most people I couldn't bear him to fail a 3rd time, but he shouldnt have been sacked last time. but he will get 100% support from me as always.

    I have to admit, as a first time member I only signed up because I was growing increasingly frustrated by Bowyer and I wanted to whinge & moan after kicking the cat to death on a Saturday evening (joke for any Vegans out there).

    There are some interesting posters on here though and I will probably stick around, if thats ok.

    Like a breath of fresh air. I just hope he wants success as much as Gary did. I say 'as much' because nobody wanted it more than Gary.

    I’m so pleased he’s back, and for the first time, probably since his departure last time, I’m looking forward to going and supporting my team again.

    Many people, myself included felt that he was well and truly shafted last time, and felt he had done a decent job in ridiculous circumstances.

    If it works I will revel in the ‘vindication’ I feel in continuing to support him in the face of many critics, if it doesn’t, it should finally, provide some ‘closure’ to the whole sorry affair.

    stuart is home, we have our club back, and we can enjoy going to VP again. Long may it continue.

    Stinks of desperation for ST sales to me. I hope it works out but why not do it earlier. Imagine the service Doyle and Vaughan would've got under Stuart. Shame he hasn't got them to work with but we are guaranteed watchable football which I've missed. The atmosphere will drastically improve as well.
