    You're right, he's contracted until June 2020.

    Can't be that hard, surely? He doesn't seem to run very fast.

    You make a good point.There are lots of posts on here and elsewhere quoting how much our players earn and I have yet to see anything which says whether the quoted figures are basic or total including bonuses. And there is a huge difference between the two! At lower league level, the average bonus is around the 75% mark (with quite a variation) which means somebody on say £1k pw basic earns around £1750 pw with bonuses. And those bonuses can cover a wide range of parameters for individual players.

    It's not long since Rahic was being criticised (including by me) for introducing a German approach to bonus payments by reducing the basic but pushing up the bonus element to around the 100% mark on average. I guess he hoped to incentivise the players more by making more of their pay performance related. Who knows whether he was successful or not but in situations where we are have players on the treatment bench on a regular basis or not even getting into the squad or not scoring the goals and are therefore not picking up their bonuses, maybe there is some logic to what he tried to introduce?

    Not a fan of his but I think Hopkin has played a blinder. Puts the ball firmly in their courts. They’ve got to sort themselves out if they’re to get a game. If not, they’re off to a level I doubt either player sees himself at.

    You do realise the transfer window is closed mate and they will be staying for at least 6 months.

    As Hopkin pointed out earlier, the non league transfer window is still open.

    yet he slacked off 90 seconds before half-time, we went in 1-0 down and chasing the game when we were arguably the better team in the first half. he didn’t get slated on social media, tagged in videos of the incident and called lazy.

    but at that moment, he was - and it cost us.

    I agree with you that it is not Wright’s fault that he is paid what he is and he has every right to see out his contract. However, if he wants to play football it will not be with us as he has not been good enough when played.

    To suggest that we give him 5-10 minutes at the end of a game to keep him in the shop window is very naive indeed. Right now we need players up for the relegation battle we are in, not Wright, who to be honest has shown nowhere near enough quality or attitude to justify a place anywhere near our team.

    Ha ha like they're going to go to non league.

    I think that's highling insulting by Hopkin.

    Like me turning round to you and saying you can wash my Merc as I need a cleaner.

    It's that but I don't like. Lack of class by Hopkin and bullying management style.

    You're right, they aren't good enough for that level.

    You couldn't be further from the truth.

    So all the players that re signed and signed in January were all bullied into signing? Tosh.

    DH is clearly a good man manager, can quickly identify the bad apples and is getting the best out of what he has.

    He has a superb back room set up now to properly look after the players in all aspects. Hardly the actions of a bully. More those of a caring and capable manager who understands the game and how to look after players.

    Wright and Riley are clearly not cutting the mustard for whatever reason.

    Telling Div 1 players the non league window is open is fu&king out of order.

    Don't be an idiot.. Wright and Riley are not in the squad because they're on high wages and the manager wants them out.

    Bradford City are skint. This isn't anything to do with ability. You're not that foolish to believe that are you?

    It's clearly based on both. They've done nothing of note in a city shirt. And they're on high wages.

    Hopkin sees them every day. If he wants shut and doesn't want to include them in the squad, that's good enough for me.

    The fact that neither could get move, despite having a month to do so, also tells a story
