Yes mate. Stuart went last week.

 

Whoever it is Kiwomya will miss pronounce his name.

 

He left Scunthorpe more for what was happening off the field, a lot have failed at Ipswich too. Did a good job at Grimsby and Shrewsbury. Can’t say he’s bad on the back of Scunthorpe and Ipswich, all managers have some failures on the their CV.

 

Getting in the pl wasn't a fluke. What world are you in

 

I know we have had our up and downs mate but

 

In my opinion Rupp isn’t the problem, his choice of football ‘experts’ has been the problem, personally I feel like we are now over the worst and will start to move in the right direction again with our new ceo and manager and a new feeling of optimism.

Rupp has put good money into this club , but it has been squandered.

Give him a break. Be realistic about where we go from here and how we go about it.

 

I have my reservations about that.
Whilst results and performance levels have improved significantly in the last three games make no bones about it rebuilding Bradford City to an exceptional level is one hell of a task and will require expertise 24/7 it's an hell of a risk if you ask me.

 

How long do you exciter us to wait? You do realise the January transfer window is 8 days away?

If we stick with these two and it goes pear shaped once the window has gone then its non league and perhaps extinction for the club. This appointment is absolutely key not only to our long to future but more presently to the immediate one yet 3 games in some are ready to chuck the keys at two lads with 270 minutes experience of first team football. It's bizarre!

 

Without clarke (and cooke) we have won 6% of our games.

 

I don't get the critics of Billy Clarke. He has more quality than most of the team put together and we look a better team with him in it, not sure about him being on the right but it did right footed Beagrie no harm playing on the left.

 

Whoever gets the job, and i can not decide who i would like. We all need to get behind them and the team and not say they are all shite , when the inevitable defeats come along, Tranmere wont be easy .The short cummings of this squad are well know to all.
Its going to be a bumpy ride to safety. Which i am sure we will achieve, lets hope sooner rather than later.
Merry Christmas to all bantams worldwide.

 

Surely Grimsby stand a better chance of getting him if that's the case?

 

Forget Hurst why take the risk these two lads deserve it.

 

Whoever we appoint is a risk. Personally, I see appointing a manager who's had 4 games as a first team manager is too big a risk to take given our league position. Forget the playoff talk nonsense, we're still a bottom half league two team. We can't get ahead of ourselves because we've seen in December 2018 that a shite team can look like a good one over the course of a few weeks.

We still don't know how Trueman will handle adversity and a poor run of form - he might be great, he might be bad, we don't know. 4 games is too small a sample size. We also don't know his capabilities in the transfer window or his ability in judging a player. We can rule out the model of Turnbull solely recruiting players - Sparks has already said that gone are the days where someone other than the manager will be signing the players. Turnbull will be here to assist in scouting but the manager will still be the one signing off. Again, its too big a gamble for me to have a novice in charge of the upcoming window, which if it goes the way of previous window's, could be a disaster.

I'm not trying to belittle the job they have done, because its been fantastic and has built solid foundations. But now is a time for rational thinking and taking everything into account. The last thing we need is Sparks to think that he's won the lottery with these two. If he has already settled on Hurst, as rumoured, then he needs to stick with that decision and not let these results influence him.

 

Not getting this lacking in experience stuff. If this is what they can do whilst being inexperienced imagine where they could take us when they get experienced. Whatever that is defined as.

They sound methodical, meticulous and demanding. That isn't inexperience, that's leadership.

 

Cant get my head around what relevance it is we have only won the games by one goal?
Makes no sense to me at all. They have inherited a side with only one striker who’s half decent in Novak and he isn’t 100% fit yet. They have no wingers and a defence which they have put together in the last couple of weeks.
Just how many goals did you expect us to win by for them to be considered?

this league is tight every season, even more so this year with covid and the amount of games that will get postponed in the next few weeks I’d have thought. Plus add to it the salary cap and no one is going to run away with it. Look at newport coming back to the rest now having not won in 4 games.

Whatever happens they have done a fantastic job. Whether they want to leave it there or carry on I suppose is up to them and Ryan.
If it’s then or Hurst I take them two. I am wary of it when it’s made permanent but we keep improving

 

Having knowledge of players already at the club does not mean they are capable of overseeing a massive rebuild and putting together a squad that needs to be promoted next season.

 

That's the way I read it. You weren't getting the job but you can have it till the start losing.

 

It's a cop out. Just announce a new manager so we can move on FFS. Whether that be Trueman or a.n.other.
