    No,money in football really. I am not interested.

    You're the one with Ryan on speed dial. Maybe, you and Ryan can buy the club.

    I’m not sure what you think I can really do, I don’t work for the club. What do you propose I do that will make a real difference? Hire a broker to find a buyer? Put together a consortium to buy it? I’ve my own job, the business I work for and my family to think about.
    I want Stefan out and an interested owner in as much as the next person, but what do you honestly expect me or anybody else to do? Whinging and whining on here won't make a difference.

    If you weren’t banned for negativity then I apologise, something you are incapable of doing to someone like @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler who’s views I take a little more seriously than your constant whine. You clearly speed read my post as I clearly said there is a lot wrong at the club and am far from happy about McCall. However Sparks will rise or fall on his own decision and I think it’s very poor form to start a poll to get a young lad who may turn out to be outstanding the sack a week into the job. Remember you wanted Mason out and I’m definitely not wrong about that.

    How are his more serious. Don't get that at all. Everyone's views on here are serious.

    I asked him questions about his thoughts. Lets see if he answers them. It's a football forum.

    Mason's time was up and he rightly moved on.

    As for Sparks no I am impressed the club hired him in this difficult position but I wish him all the luck in the world.

    We need to put our collective heads together and work out a way.

    Bickering amongst ourselves about how people are unhappy or pretending that nothing can be done isn't going to cut it.

    One person isn't going to make a big change - but between all the posters on this forum surely we can amplify the message that Bradford City is for sale and we need a buyer. Let's first accept that, then we need people like @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler involved for the second and third steps - IF the desire and the will to create change is there.

    But you are intrested or you wouldn't be saying the stuff you are.
    You have a go because they appoint a 29 year old as ceo but if you don't like it buy the club then you can appoint your own. No one likes what is happening at the moment but you have to be given time to prove yourself which you don't want to give him so buy the club. You want rid of the manager easy buy the club you can then sack him. You can also assemble a team around you that all think the same as you.

    He asked you a question but you failed to answer him but you expect him to answer yours don't think it works like that.

    Because he speaks from a position of knowledge rather than a position of 2+2=7

    @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler you going to answer about McCall.

    What a car crash interview that was? How long we all going to have to put up with this?

    Lets see if Ryan has the strength to get rid of McCall now.

    It was a car crash but don't see what you gain by dragging @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler into it

    I believe he has already said a few days ago "no comment" on his opinion of SM. There is your answer.

    Sparks has a tough call to make very soon which will have a major bearing on our club's future.

    Do I continue to place my and/or Rupp's faith in SmC's ability to stave off relegation by spending wisely and attracting players to VP in the transfer window? Or do I and/or Rupp decide to part company with SMc whose contract I/we extended only recently?

    It's tough at the top for Sparks!

    I think when he listens back to SM's interview after todays game it will help him with any decision needed.

    SM is feeling the pressure, that's obvious and his passion for the club is also obvious but to be so aggressive with the interviewer who is asking the questions we all want answering and contradicting himself so much is not shining a good light on him at all.

    Keefly's post 277 gives you the answer.
    Talking of answers I still haven't seen yours to my question. In my experience you have options. You can provide the information I requested OR you can apologise and say emotion got the better of you OR you can simply retract your very distasteful and inaccurate comment. Which is it to be?,
