    True, not even sure it’s the managers job though these days. Maybe mixed wires with the head of recruitment just coming in who knows. Still doesn’t sit right with me.

    Agreed Kev, like you I’ve had ‘the chat’ before. Maybe football is different but you don’t come out of it on the person’s Christmas card list, but neither can they say anything like that about our company on social media. Different perspectives I guess.

    Ok fair enough as I always thought he'd be on good money shall we say within the squad wage structure, there's no doubting he has ability and will no doubt knowing our luck move on to another L2 club and become a good valued sellable asset.

    Maybe Bass passed on the news when he joined in January.

    Funny how he was telling people at the end of season dinner he was off. Sour grapes maybe

    Sorry I can't agree with you but that's what forums are about, different opinions.

    I was just trying to make people think twice before assassinating the lad. Given he has been open about these things in the past I doubt he would be too upset about fans showing concern rather than the vitriol he does get.

    Exactly buddy its hard watching someone fail at their footy and then be cajoled by people who cant do two kick ups to save their lives. Just like any job motivation is key to underperformance. It breeds confidence and then creates more positive results. Doesnt matter what area of life it is.

    Let's call a spade, a spade. He's crap and regardless of confidence or motivation he isn't good enough to help us get where we need to be and we should try, if at all possible, to move him on.

    Ps, I can do three :thumbup:

    Who tells their wife that they're now unemployed and she can't spunk £500 on a handbag at the weekend anymore. Of course, he wouldn't tell her

    If we're calling a spade a spade, all we can really say is he's been crap for us - who knows, maybe he was better at another club in the past, maybe he'll be better at another club in the future... but either way, he needs to move on.

    If his poor form is a result of morale or confidence or motivation, he would do well to move on ASAP as well.

    I don't want Bradford City to be some kind of honey trap where players sign on the dotted line then become depressed & defeated, at which point we refuse to release them from their contract for financial reasons - I'm absolutely sure Threlkeld will be allowed to walk away, but if he chooses not to (again, for financial reasons), that's his problem, not ours.

    I'd let him go to Barrow tomorrow, and if anyone at the club didn't want to let that happen, they're fools. He'd obviously have to cancel his contract, though.

    Mrs O’Donnell is deluded if she didn’t know that her husband was to be released. He hasn’t played since Christmas and Hornby is still under contract next season.

    I have often thought the same. He wouldnt be the first - Knott, Taylor and Reeves all suffered.
