    Stick to Bradford By The Sea. It's easier to spell.

    Hope not. Filthy football when we played them, like Mark Cooper the sort you’d only support through gritted teeth.

    Sporting Director is an interesting topic here. One many on here of have sounded they would like to see be introduced within our club. I’d be interested to understand how many L.1-2 clubs have this role within the club?

    We are complete f---ing idiots if we've waited all this time just because we preferred Adams.

    I can't believe it's a possibility that he turns us down. What the actual hell? I thought he'd told us who to release FFS!! I thought he was supposedly working with the recruitment team! Now there's no guarantee he's even coming???

    Jesus wept, what a farce!!!!

    Look, fair enough if a new manager is unveiled this week and he did indeed agree to work with us weeks and months ago, but if he didn't, what kind of incompetent shambles are we?

    Why are we telling lies about managers working with the recruitment team and on the retained list? Even worse, why are we letting people who aren't employed by the club dictate decisions about our future?

    Both awful outcomes, let's be honest!

    If we do go for Flynn, lets hope we get the right one.

    Michael Thomas Flynn (born December 24, 1958) is a retired United States Army lieutenant general who was the 25th United States National Security Advisor for the first 22 days of the Trump administration until his resignation in light of reports that he had lied regarding conversations with Sergey Kislyak. Flynn's military career included a key role in shaping U.S. counterterrorism strategy.

    This one is a bit unstable.

    Michael Flynn DENIES telling QAnon conference that a Mynamar-style coup 'should happen' in the US - despite footage from event showing him call for one

    Agree.

    Lets talk about the manager having a say on the retained list though. The conversation might have gone like this:

    "These are the players out of contract"
    "Ok..thanks. Are you as a club fussed keeping any?
    "No"
    "Neither am I"
    "Great. That's that then".

    Surely that is a question to be asked if the scenario you paint happens. The season only finished for Morecambe yesterday let’s wait and see what the coming few days bring first

    It's already been weeks waiting to see what happens, so what's another few days? But the worst case scenario is an absolute disaster, let's just get to grips with that fact. We are beyond stupid if Adams stays at Morecambe, we've have completely ballsed up.

    Big time

    Alternatively if we get Adams on board we will have managed to have poached a successful manager from another club by being patient and it could be said the club has played a blinder

    Both of the last two points are true. This is Bradford City, which scenario is most likely ? No appointment by Friday and we need to start panicking.

    Agreed, I think if it's Adams then it will be thursday, if it's Flynn then tomorrow.
