Ahem. Clear your throat and sing with gusto. One, two, three, four. Happy days are here again. Happy days are here again.

 

Or a Tight 1-0?

 

If a manager can do that, and do it consistently; they are not in League Two.

 

The time Adams could've used to assess the squad during the Morecambe playoffs last season, has probably led to the likes of Crankshaw and Evans being here at the start of the season. Sutton could be another casualty if he's not careful. If Adams is cutting the waste and replacing with better, then good on him. We as fans have become so accustomed to accepting crap it's untrue. It reminds me of the time before Parky took over, when we had half a dozen average players and the rest were non league level. We need to get 20 decent players in the squad and release those only here to make up the numbers.

 

He wouldn’t be human if a bit of regret hadn’t crossed his mind regarding coming here all things considered so far.

 

Did he just want a few Sundays with his family?

 

The same Canavan who’s smiling away on the new team photo?

 

Can't see it at all. Canavan is a good pro who puts his club first.

 

You said ‘“injured”’ are you inferring that he is injured or not? To me that looks like you are inferring he isn’t injured and has downed tools.

 

What reason has he got to down tools or rebel against Adams. He's worked with him before and knows exactly what his methods are. Why would Adams bin him off when he knows and has signed Canavan before. He's either injured, had a bust up with Adams or he has downed tools. There's no middle ground and I can't see either of the latter being right.

 

Whilst I am sorry to see Crankshaw go, Adams seems to blame everyone but himself, Rupp, Sparks, the Players for the bad showing lately , if he played a different system now and again, we might see better results, I know we are down to the bare bones, but I do think Mr Adams wants to be King Pin, dont forget he was main man at small clubs before, bit of a culture shock to realise he couldnt have it all his own way when he came to VPr

 

Stockport were keen on Crankshaw before he joined the Bantams in January. They had made several enquiries since and came in with an offer last week.

Adams said: “I thought it was acceptable to the football club. Ollie has played 93 minutes in the league this season and it enables us to have extra money in the budget going forward.

“I’ve got to make a decision and I understand the ones coming back (from injury) might be back in two, three or four weeks.

“If I didn’t allow Ollie to go to Stockport, we would have lost out on a transfer fee and a wage that could be quite useful further down the line.”

Charles Vernam was back in training today and will be in the squad to face Rochdale at Valley Parade.

 

But unless you have some insider knowledge about this, it's a non starter of an argument! Do you KNOW if there's a rebellion? Who are your sources? It's fine flying a kite from your imagination, but what facts do you have on this? It's this kind of post that stirs up ill-informed and negative ranting over a debate that doesn't actually exist.

 

Parader getting a few nice nibbles again, I doth my cap. If I had one.

 

As I said yesterday, a smart bit of business for essentially a bench warmer if we were honest. Timing was unfortunate, aka injuries, but business is business.

 

Crankshaw scores Stockport winner today.

 

Scored the winner for Stockport

 

Yet another piece of fantastic business by Bradford City. Time and time again we let go of quality players. What a fantastic night for Stockport County, if only we had their fight.

 

They may currently be a league below City. But looking at that crowd last night and knowing that they've got both money and a locally based and interested owner behind them. It won't be very long before City are a league or two below them. Crankshaw definitely signed for an ambitious club with forward momentum. Everything that City are not, sadly.

 

Good luck to them. We used to have some interesting get togethers with Stockport in the late 70’s and 80’s..
