Most liked posts in thread: Rhodes speaks

Not the most inspiring of missives from Mr Rhodes I would have thought that with more than half the teams in this league struggling, this season was an excellent chance at promotion again I think we have missed the boat. Can anyone imagine Mr Baldwin or Mr Jenkins being interviewed for the job by a man who hasn't had a 100th the success they have had
Surprised he picked today of all days to speak out would have thought he would have been too busy paying someone to take our "dead wood"

 

I’ve got a feeling our new CEO could be Ryan Sparks, he seems a great lad but it would be a massive job for someone like him to do on his own. Mason had Lawn and Rhodes working at the club during his time as did Baldwin, so if they did throw Ryan Sparks in the deep end it would be tough for him, not to mention the meltdown on here and other social media if he was to be announced.

 

Great confidence boost for the players !!!!
(he sanctioned)

 

Although you wouldn't bet against it

 

It’s not Sparks. Don’t worry.

 

Somebody insert that clapping picture thing for me please.

 

We're talking Bradford City you think you've seen it all before, nothing against the lad but it would be a BIG CALL, I'd prefer an outsider who had done his home work on the situation and has guarantees from Stefan going forward or there is little point IMO.

 

He's losing credibility with every passing week.

 

No point saying who it is. The club would only deny it.

 

Me too

 

Baldwin, Mason or Jenkins

 

That IS good business, not necessarily just how Julian thinks. The elephant in the room is of a squad of about 25 players, if you had a free choice to release the squad, you’d probably only want to keep half a dozen or so.

The problem is the wages spaffed on wholly unsuitable players through bad recruitment. Last season the wages spent on Anderson, Akpan, Taylor, Devine and Ismail, who contributed almost zero between them, would have been better spent on the backroom or one quality player. This season DMH already looks a pointless signing. On the other hand the rest of signings, with good coaching and clear instructions aren’t that bad.

Even the best clubs get recruitment wrong, but City seem particularly bad.

 

That's what I thought when I read it. I had Thornton call me out on Radio and now seems Rhodes wants a bit.

The only negative person at the club is Rhodes hence why he takes no risks or hasn't improvement the club in any asset form.

 

If the price of a steady ship and a safe pair of hands is mediocracy then the price is to high,

 

I didn't mention this as i thought it would be obvious to anyone that ambition comes risk. A perfect example being Burnley and their search for oversees investment. We think of them as the perfect example of a well run club but belive it or not there are fans who question the owners running of the club. Crazy eh? We should be better and can do better that how we are currenlty run.

 

Are you on a wind up ?.

 

Come off it Bronco, it’s turned out awful , a nightmare, so yeah hope he is better at judging his replacement. Key word here is Judgement.

 

because the people he and lawn sold us to got us relegated on the back of probably the worst and most spineless city team I have ever actually seen. I think it's a very pertinent point about rhodes' judgement.

It's all well and good attacking fans who think ambition = throw money at it which isn't what anyone I've seen has been saying at all. I would rather employ a scout than have signed chris taylor for example.
