    I don't disagree. And optimism is fine, I share that optimism. Or at least a hope. But at the same time, appointing a Head of Recruitment without providing all the tools and budget needed to really set the role and club up for success would be typically Bradford City

    Pep has the final say on first team recruitment. And insane to think otherwise. The head of recruitment there will be for Academy and development purchases.

    Nobody telling him he isnt having Haaland this summer.

    Adam Reach was fine, still plying his trade at Championship level.

    It seems to suggest that Wilder has his own 'team' when it comes to recruitment - not dissimilar to Parky.

    They respected the job he had done and allowed him to move on asap. If you think about it, due to timing it benefits neither party insisting on full 3 months notice. They will want someone in asap too

    Yeah, fair enough in that case, I only read the tidbit that was quoted, I'll read the full thing later.

    Good opportunity for him to progress with more responsibility, looks like a winner all round (potentially).

    They can have Robinson, Elliot and Delfonso for a £1million, buy two get one free. Angol and Cook at least £1million each
    Vernam, they could not afford.

    I don’t buy this playing in a “higher division “ with keepers .

    A good keeper is good , no matter what Divi he’s playing in.

    Outfielders, yes 100% agree, but not keepers.

    No some lad from Workington Town, who has been training with us apparently.

    I noticed his long passes found a city player instead of out of play
    Like a dribble too

    It’s the new trend of play for a keeper I think

    Just wondering how his CV is with Boro. I don’t know much about them…have they made any signings during his tenure who’ve been a success? Anyone there he might be thinking to bring down to City?

    Great to see MH was involved in the interview process.
