    For all the Parky talk, I'm not in the slightest convinced (McCall here or not), that we could afford him, nevermind his backroom staff.

    yeah true Fordy, but I bet Parky was on big bucks there and McCall is on sock drawer money. Rhodes penny pinching right to the end.

    Parky was good at evaluating players, Just what we need, Plus play the Parky way, Good Keeper, Big CB, Battling CM and a big CF, Thats the way to get out of this division

    Got to admit going to Wembley twice in less than 4 months as a drain on the bank account I'd love the chance of some excitement because at the moment we ain't getting any.

    It’s your negativity that’s the reason why we’re so shit.

    Passed his best imo. Past achievements are one thing and not always the answer second time around

    If you give me Parky or Mcfailure there is no contest for me. At least we might be difficult to beat if nothing else.

    Not sure about past his best. He's only 3 years away from getting a promotion to the Championship.

    The bit about not always being the answer second time around is something I can agree with but it would definitely give me some hope.

    We can’t afford £30k for a DOF-we’re not affording Parky for anything!
    Still money in the budget though-glad we paid off Vaughan

    I hope you are on about a week? 30K a year is earned by a manager at McDonald’s

    Well, well, well.. it seems even the football gods were astounded by the decision to reward McCall with a new contract and have intervened ;) ;)

    It is not too late to admit our mistake, let’s at least approach Parky and see if he’d be willing to drag us out the shit once more.

    Not the prettiest football granted but arguably our greatest ever manager. Two Bradford City legends, one on the pitch the other in the stands.. well it’s in the stands where we need them now so no brainer!!

    £200k a year at least to bring Parky in, £100k for Parky Min, £60k for his assistant and £40k for his fitness coach, Won't happen
