    Oooh getting angry are we.
    How the fu(k can you talk about having class and showing respect when you slag off more players and managers than most on here do combined?

    The simple fact is wright is absolute dogshit and hopkin knows it so he wants rid. It's really that simple. That bellend edin was the one who made the mess. Not hopkin. He's just got the job of trying to sort it out and he's doing a decent bloody job of it!

    I agree with @Fordy117@Fordy117 .

    Hopkin might not have given Wright a generous contract had he been here, but his actions since taking over don't mean there is any personal animosity between the two.

    It's fine to think or say that Wright is a poor player - personally I think only a muppet would tell him that to his face or on social media, much less in some angry way. He didn't hold a gun to anybody's head and make them sign him, nor should anyone hold a gun to his and make him rip up his current deal.

    The fact Wright is at City and tied down to a contract is Bradford City's fault, so ALL blame needs to start and end there.

    Jon the blame should be attributed to Mr Rahic not the club/fans who have been made to suffer for his many mistakes - signing Wright just being one.

    I don't know.

    That Rahic was let loose upon the club isn't blameless.

    But I agree in so far as Wright is baba, but City fans should try contacting Edin or Greg about that rather than the player himself.

    Which one of @Fordy117@Fordy117 's inane ramblings do you agree with? He has flopped around more than a fish out of water today.

    Well, I agree with his post about being respectful to a player that was offered a contract and accepted it.

    I didn't trawl the rest of the carpings, continuing the fishy puns.

    Hopkin's comments weren't disrespectful in the slightest. He simply said if they want to go out and play football, then non league is the only option left for them. He's not saying they're non league quality players but just that this is their only option as he won't be giving them any game time.

    Stop being melodramatic and making something out of nothing.

    Of course but you can’t compare Wright and Riley to those two. Ward had independent wealth and Carboni made a fortune from football. Wright’s career is coming to the head and the way it is going he isn’t going to get another decent contract so you can’t blame him for stalling

    Wright should do what is best for him, we gave him the deal. His best option may be to just sit and take the money and wait to see if he’s offered a pay off.

    Interestingly, Hopkin himself was in the same position when he was our player. We gave him a good deal and later realised we could n’t afford that and many others. Jim Jefferies was given the job of offloading all the high earners. He needed to ‘help’ Hopkin chose to leave using any means he could to make Hopkin not want to be here. On that occasion we were fortunate that Palace were willing to take him if we contributed significantly. Without Palace he may have let his contract run down and who could have blamed him. Wright is probably in a similar position.

    Not sure that it’s the same as Hopkin with wright.

    We could afford him but he’s not very good and by the sounds of it has issues with effort?

    Any way you look at it, we can't afford him -- off the pitch or on it! But we seem to be stuck with him. The only hope is that he works hard in training and convinces Hopkin he's worth another chance. Otherwise, he seems to be like the victim of an old Irish curse: chased so far over the hills of damnation that even the Lord Himself couldn't find him with a telescope! When 16-year-olds make the subs bench, and the pitch, instead of you, you know you're far, far gone...

    That is true though.

    I just think so losers are jealous of Wright and his family.

    Concentrate on yourselves. Don't be jealous it's only football.

    Buy a Merc. Sleep with a midget. Do whatever it takes to make yourself happy but never be a sad jealous w&nker!

    You’re a strange puppy Fordy. You slate anything remotely positIve and lend support to the biggest shitehouse at the club.

    Bizarre.

    Not supporting anyone.

    Just think our manager has handled this all wrong and Bradford City are not in the position to play games.

    We're SKINT though! That isn't Wright, Reeves problem though.

    I've got two Mercs and a troop of midgets, but Josh is crap, there's no getting away from it (or him) unfortunately.

    Nobody here is jealous of Wright, except maybe you. You seem to have had a man crush on him since he got here.

    People here are just narked off that we have a serial underperformer taking up a massive wage which could otherwise have been used to get in a decent striker, a winger or a better centre back than we currently have.
    It's that simple, however you want to spin it
