    Didn’t he randomly turn up on our subs bench once, a couple of years after he’d left Man U?

    I do agree with your comment with regards him staying with us but you could understand why the lads head was turned, from virtually Bradford City reserves to Manchester United.
    I believe at the time the scout from Manchester United came looking at Dean Richards and told Alex Ferguson about young Graeme ?.

    I was referring to this article too which sepcifically mentions the one million figure. Although it’s one of those “understands” points so could be anyone who’s said it.

    Telegraph Sport understands Rhodes has no intention to buy the club back but hopes that Rupp will inject £1million before January in an effort to keep the club in League One.”

    Surely if you're hoping to off-load players the thing to do is to announce it towards the beginning of the window. Waiting until we've got players in towards the end of the window and then tell everyone they're available would just be silly. Don't see this as we can't get anyone in until we get some out scenario. Just common sense. I dare say we'll have someone in long before these three find a club.

    Useful for Fordy117 though, at least he's got something to spout off about after results have picked up.

    Katie Whyatt's understanding may differ from what the Club has said
    https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2018/october/stefan-rupp/
    “If our position does not improve then David will be backed in January and there will be money to spend. He will get complete support in terms of the players he wishes to bring to the club."
    Can't see any mention of a million

    Keep reading on social media about Riley's attitude, has something happened? Can't say I've seen anything myself.

    O'Kane was ok ish compared to Tierney rate him just slightly better than Alan Dowson,think we all expect better when players come from Man Utd ,still remember how bad Mike Duxbury was albeit it was at the end of his career

    Agree, we always joked that he must have dug a hole underneath the pitch cos he was always missing once he crossed that white line onto the pitch...

    Adrian Doherty is a sad story of what might have been. Can recommend "Forever Young" his biography. Interesting, moving and ultimately tragic.

    Totally agree, I also think it may mean 'not good for what I want them to do' but is a better thing to say than that. Wright and Riley recently have been tagged with a bad attitude label which I have yet to see.

    Agree. Unless you are immensely talented you won't make it as a footballer with a bad attitude
