Serious Changes

Gary Jones didn't do too bad, I believe you need an old head in a side going for promotion who can calm things down when things look like they are not going well.

 

Wes Hoolahan + Cambridge United for starters

 

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

 

Spearing was quality tonight.

Our midfield is mighty poor though.

 

If we do not keep Trueman/Sellars in a job, that’s two decisions in around 7/8 months Sparks has had to go back.
Not a great look if so

 

Who cares!

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

 

Neon goalposts!

 

The fact of the matter is we have a Top 7 squad without anybody capable in charge to manage them to best effect.

Rowe, Cook, Donaldson, Novak to our disposal yet we can’t score more than 1 goal in 3 games when chasing the play offs.

Vernam, Crankshaw, Cooke, Clarke, Evans, Sutton, Watt to choose from in midfield yet we can’t finish top half?

We need proper management to get the best tune out of our luxury squad for this level, not some ex player on his 3rd chance or 2 complete rookies.

We need to get serious!

 

Who's Tomlin??
Turnbull???

 

If I were Ryan Sparks right now...........
Dear European Super League,
I understand that you are short of English representation for your new footballing venture.
I would be most interested to discuss the possibility of my club Bradford City entering as an English representative. I firmly believe we have a truly unique offering which would be of great interest to both yourself and the European teams involved.
1) given the choice of playing Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan every week over Barrow, Grimsby & Harrogate Town I’m confident 100% of our fan base would be on board
2) As above the fans and club would not mind in the slightest being expelled from our current league, in fact most would welcome it.
3) Non of our players will worry about the threat of not being able to represent England.
4) We don’t mind loosing most games (we already do). I understand that English people aren’t too popular in Europe at the moment. We can help cure the pain felt by Brexit by getting hammered every week.
5) You are also struggling for a German team, our Chairman can help with contacts, I believe he has a Serbian business associate with close ties to a team in Stuttgart.
I hope to speak to you soon,
Best Regards,
Ryan x

 

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.

 

Vin I agree. We are short of maybe 5 players and we could have a real good go next season

 

Swap Watt for Spearing anyday.
That's why imo we need an experienced head in there.

 

Players out of contract this summer. How many do we think stay around? I wouldn't be surprised if only a few get extended, think they'll offer something to 6 or 7 on this list but most will shop about for a new club.

Anthony O'Connor
Harry Pritchard
Lee Novak
Clayton Donaldson
Zeli Ismail
Sam Hornby
Matty Foulds
Billy Clarke
Will Huffer
Connor Wood
Jorge Sikora
Kian Scales
Connor Shanks

 

Get rid of the lot apart from perhaps Scales

 

Keep Novak and Wood let the rest go

 

Not sure who he is but yes Turnbull

 

Wood will be on his way back south I reckon

 

Isn't that what a MANAGER is for?

 

Never seen a manager go on the pitch, hence my comment with regards an older head being a leader on the pitch.
