    Bradford City couldn’t compete against the rest of League 2 with one of, if not the biggest wage bill in the division last season. Quite how bringing City down to the same wage bill as the rest of the division is going to help is beyond me.

    Suits the deficit though if you have both eyes on balancing the books at the end of the season.

    That’s a different matter though having your pick of players doesn’t mean you choose the right ones. That’s down to good management

    Most footballers are 20 somethings, there isn’t much to do up there. I’d say on location we’re one of the most attractive outside of London for a sportsman’s age group. Not because of Bradford, but Leeds which has probably overtaken Manchester in the last 10 years as the best City if the north. If everyone had the same wage caps then we should be wine and dining players in Leeds City centre, explaining the training ground is a mere 15 minutes train journey from there. We should be trying to use Leeds as an advantage as I bet Salford will be doing with Manchester, not moaning about being in their shadow.

    Biggest stadium in the league, next door to probably the best city outside of London and only a couple of hours on the train to London for southern players as Mark Marshall did for a couple of years. No reason why to a player we shouldn’t be more attractive than the rest of the league most of which play in front of about 3 thousand a week.
