Who cares!

What he is getting wrong is the contract side of it but McCall had to go and so do T & S.

Some of this content really does illustrate how far we're behind the times, even at this level. Its depressing. 'Big club'. Forget that - there's not one aspect of what we do that aligns to big club thinking.

 

It really is about time you changed your username.


Can I suggest Faithless Bantam?

 

I'm gonna be honest mate I have little interest in TV football. I've missed out on a year of enjoying a great day out at the football, ironically usually only spoilt by the footy itself.

 

But folk like us are already smitten, we are not Ryans targets, it's the waverers that he has to woo, sorry but my guess for ST sales this coming season even that I know i'll be shot down is 6,500...
We really have been that bad and anyway what happens first, ST sales or signings..?

 

And I know 3 people who for various reasons won’t be renewing so he better wait on that new car.

 

You’ve no faith in the current squad, but we replace the squad and manager every season and have been at best hit and miss since Rahic sacked McCall. There is something about recruitment or the club which means players don’t seem to give a shit, their confidence goes or they are just not up to the job. Until that changes I can’t see the fortunes of the club changing and that means fewer and fewer will by a ST.

 

Season tickets will be going on sale again soon, they need to spin something up to attract buyers, because the football isn't going to do it at the moment. It'll end up being hot water in the Kop toilets once they've got enough people to bite about the 'exciting times ahead'.

 

Spearing was quality tonight.

Our midfield is mighty poor though.

 

Hornby
Canavan
Sutton
Crankshaw
Cooke
Rowe
Cook (if he stays)
Novak
Scales

Out of the whole squad we have ATM only these for me are worthy of another year, with the right recruits to join them.
The rest are liabilities, weak minded and not good enough to get us anywhere near the top 3.

 

Sikora will be a quality player.

 

If you choose to loiter around the Gents ....you'll get in hot water....

 

Parky looked for players with a strong mentality. We had a group of leaders where if one or two were injured there was more grit in the group. I don’t get that feeling from the current squad.
There seemed much togetherness during the good run but all teams experience issues with form and injuries in a season and promotion teams couple ability with how they fight when they are up against it. How they scrape a point when behind with 2 minutes to go. How they turn around going behind into a win. Since Rahic meddled we’ve experienced teams that don’t have that core fundamental, sides that folded meekly and although the current team haven’t been as bad as the league one relegation season side, they haven’t been able to meet adversity and come out on top anywhere near enough. Hopefully Turnbull will be able to identify new players who can not only play and progress city forwards again but also have the necessary grit to deliver when it’s difficult and not just when things are going well.
I don’t see that quality in much of what we have in the club presently.

 

I know someone who has seen Bradford City and has worked at other clubs from the conference to championship, they have been less than complimentary about Bradford City behind the scenes. Shambles is a polite way of how they described it three years ago and last time we spoke it wasn’t much more positive.

Times move on and sports science is advancing quickly. City need to get with the times or continue to fall behind.

 

Clearly not.

We do have a big bag of orange segments though.

 

Hope you are right. For a lot of people, the game is a part of match day. We meet friends in a pub and put the world to rights along with supporters of the day's opposition. Others will have their own rituals but over the years it has become an important way of life. We know Ryan and co are looking to improve the squad massively so I for one live in hope.

 

I think something's gone on again or is going on again. Rowe can't get a game, players seem to be not arsed , T and S don't seem that bothered, sparks hinting at major changes, all contracts on hold, it doesn't make sense

 

city join the ESL to replace Man City, knew it was coming

 

For what they will be getting another season wouldn't be a big deal.

 

You're old enough to remember
When Tordoff was custodian, didn't he stipulate we don't sign anyone over 27 ?
