    Does he ever take his hands from behind his back.

    Looks like you're sat in my favorite tree to get the best shot :eek:.

    Do we really know if we interviewed manager after manager. Was it simply stalling to find the right yes man. If in doubt promote a junior from within as it is cheap and he will be a yes man.

    Heard that the accountant has quit, but just possibly rumours..

    It’s a minimum three points from the next two away games for me.

    Think we’ll lose at Fleetwood but we really should be winning at Blackpool.

    If we get no points or 1 point, Collins should go.

    I feel for the bloke, I’m sure he’s a nice fella, and he’s clearly got passion for the game but something’s going wrong somewhere and he’s perhaps not the right fit for the head coach at the time.

    The thing is if he leaves, who the F is going to come in?!?!!!

    Edin would have no choice but to bring in a manager and give assurances of control. Literally no one else wanted to work under him and his current plan in the summer.

    But in reality he'd probably just boot Collins and give it to Abbot.

    Did someone post we were on our 3rd accountant since these two took over, maybe Edin "knows accountancy".

    With regards interviewing applicants I believe the words Edin used was some "experienced candidates" have applied for the post, so you have to wonder why these experianced candidates were not good enough yet a rookie with no experience was capable in Edin's opinion.

    According to the Journalist Peter Orourke from a shortlist we only interviewed three people but the guy they wanted was the coach from West Brom who’s name escapes me

    Ben Garner. I believe he was the one the owners identified as the one they wanted to appoint, and believed they had landed him. However, I believe he turned us down, despite being out of work since December

    Grant McCann and Paul Heckingbottom were definitely interviewed. Rosler and Warburton were also rumoured along with one other candidate.

    Surely the Middlesboro coach was interviewed? Sky Sports News announced him as our Manager.

    Sorry mate I'm quoting Edin's own words maybe not word for word but he had most thinking our next appointment was going to be exciting.....................boy how wrong could he be.
    The coach from West Brom would have been Darren Moore wouldn't it ?.

    Yes I believe that was his name, here's an article suggesting he's ready to return to day to day football, ideal chance for Edin to do a bit of negotiating behind the scenes and bring him in if this is the lad he was after.

    I'll take div 2 if it rids us of him. My worry is div 2 and he stays.

    Chairman Edin Rahic interviewed over 10 candidates during the six weeks since Simon Grayson turned down the chance to stay.

    Collins did not apply for the job – but Rahic was convinced by the way him and Drury spoke about the principles he wants at the club and made the decision over the weekend.

    This was in the T&A, http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/16298844.bradford-city-head-coach-not-worried-by-criticism/ .

    Mentioned here again http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/16297699.live-blog-michael-collins-unveiled-as-bradford-city-head-coach/

    I’d even take Bower from Park Avenue if Edin sacked Collins. They’ve had a cracking start to the season and he could do no worse than Edin’s puppet.
