Most liked posts in thread: New CEO?

One would assume Parker meant the McBurnie to Sheffield deal? Rather than the Bradford to Swansea deal that took place 5 years ago... Would you wait 5 years to thank somebody?

So if its the McBurnie to Sheffield deal... That was August 2019 and Jenkins had left in February 19. So he wasn't there at the time.

Either way therefore, the explanation for the contact doesn't add up.

 

The way how a certain person was praising Sparks for just doing his job it wouldn't shock me.
Bradford City are a lazy club so it wouldn't shock me either. Plus Rhodes can control things also.

It would be a dreadful appointment but so Bradford City.

 

Whoever takes over has a job to prevent the club falling out of the league. It’s not a job for a novice.

 

He's been hammered recently yet no one knows if he's even in the running for the job. Personally, if he does get it i wish nothing but good luck. It certainly won't be without effort, the lad is already doing 2 or 3 roles at the club due to a lack of staff numbers. And there seems to be a few calling him out recently, talk of a lack of communication. Nah, thats one thing you can't accuse him of. Problem is, if he throws comments around on social media at this moment he's damned if he does damned if he doesn't.

 

Would you expect any different from this club? We're backward looking and completely lacking in any sort of imagination in anything we do.

If our approach to the current situation is appoint Sparks as CEO, Jewell as DoF and extending McCalls contract, we'll deserve everything we get.

 

Good old Bradford City.

Utterly predictable and NEVER awe inspiring.

 

Think this could be me done lads. Genuinely don’t know why we do it? What has the club given in recent years to even provide an ounce of hope.

18,000 season ticket holders to appointing the bloke that runs the Twitter to CEO. Has anyone provided any evidence that this is going to turn us around and have us going in the right direction. Has any club fallen to these lows as quickly as we have? Bradford City deserves to be in the position it is in. Shambles of a club from top to bottom.

We’re where we are in the league for a reason. We don’t have time to play around anymore of we’ll be in the national league. Another nail in the coffin.

 

The 2 announcements made yesterday. I was told would be Sparks and Jewell. However I’d also been told that Stuart had signed a 1 year extension.

My source is not sure why there has been a delay with Jewell. Seemed as though it had been lined up and agreed. Stuart is desperate for help on the recruitment and wants Jewell. Possibly something happening at the Swindon end holding it up. Jewell is very close to Lee Power apparently and is supposed to be involved in the recruitment of a new manager. Still expected to happen though.

 

I work for a FTSE 100 company (i know so fekking what) and ive heard all sorts of speakers and live video chats from the guy earning 2 million down to directors and head of large business functions and Sparks stacks up more than ok IMO.

In my job I always at least try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt and believe just about anything is possible if you really want it.

He needs our support now.

 

The stars are aligning. Welcome home David you're a good man.

 

Dave Baldwin worked his socks off last time he was down at Valley Parade.
I have bags of respect for him and would welcome him back behind the scenes.
Approachable and knowledgeable individual, we could do a lot worse if he's interested in a return.

 

With reference to our CEO, I hope the candidate is chosen specifically by the owner and how he wants to move this club forward. I couldn't care less for their gender, atheist or religious, gay or straight, black or white. As long as the new appointment is chosen as part of an ambitious long term project rather than the cheapest and easiest option available then I'll be all for it.

 

Indeed. Because such a firm, skilled in what they do, would look beyond just the football industry. If you're a skilled CEO/COO, much of your skillset is transferable across different industries.

I don’t think it is pessimistic.Get this appointment wrong and refuse to change the club ethos and we are only going one way.I noticed today that there are 11 teams in the National league who we have played in the not too distant past.I presume they all thought they were too big to go down.

 

The silence from VP Towers is alarming.The Club's fans may be social distanced but even more reason for communication at a time when we appear to be self destructing as a Club. The one thing right now we need, is the reassurance of leadership.One must assume that there are things happening in the background of a delicate nature which would account for the lack of any dialogue. It seems as though there are three converging processes behind closed doors imminently poised to fuse into a platform for recovery. I hope discussions are taking place to clarify purposeful ownership, incoming CEO and Management situation.

 

You see, this is the problem. Why does it matter if Stuart is on board or not? In a couple of weeks, if our league position hasn't improved, he is the obvious, disposable element at the club. It matters not what he thinks. The CEO and DoF should be appointed after an adequate recruitment process and then they should evaluate whether they are on board with McCall or not. Not the other way around.

Honestly, this club is so allergic to fresh blood it is beyond a joke. Whoever down at VP that has the mantra of bringing back club legends when shit hits the fan needs to start living in the real world.

 

This is actually funny, a few of us said it would be sparks, you can read Rhodes like a book.

 

Our approach to improving the worst squad in living memory is not signing available players, and our approach to fixing a systemic failure in leadership is keeping the same leaders.

Revolutionary.
