    Let’s give Stuart the chance to make amends for that painful play off final defeat 3 years ago!

    Stuart McCall’s Bradford Army!

    I'd take living in the past over perpetual carping and negativity any day.

    I think they'd already sounded McCall out before they announced they'd sacked Bowyer.

    Plus he may well pull it off. We are in such a mess we now can’t take risks. It is as simple as that.

    safe and easy choice but the club never really takes the risky decision.. but the pressure is on now, he must deliver promotion either this season or as a minimum next season.

    no rahic, no 'coach' title, free-reign over signings and backroom staff..

    no more excuses.

    It is like an addiction mate. Afraid the same couldn't be said about the football under Bowyer eh?

    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.

    That's an important point that shouldn't be ignored. He's here as the manager this time, not head coach.

    I read it at least until the end of the season. Maybe an option to extend if things are going well.

    Novak started 29 of McCall's 34 league games in charge, only 2 players played more under him. 9 goals in those 29 starts, think he's going to be delighted

    Don't start putting pressure on him straight away, lets give him a chance to settle in, he's got a right rag bag full of players to knock into shape, and that will take time, and won't be easy, Personally I think a lot of the team need a good strong kick up the backside

    He's not just the manager now. He's the Lifelong Honorary When the Club has a Crisis Go-to Manager.

    I think it will be a contract until 20/21 but maybe can be reviewed at the end of the season or Bradford are just saying it so fans don't kick off.

    Contract until 20/21 season.

    If he can get us out of this league then at least it won't be to the conference where we could have been heading with another season under Bowyer....
