Stuart McCall Post Match Interview

And its his job to manage them which he is doing. To second bottom losing 6 on the bounce. Excuses are wearing very thin now.

 

and yet before the season he said he was happy with a small squad. If he didn’t want those players he should have gone for a bigger squad.
Both statements can not be true. So do we believe him then or now?

 

Why did he declare he was happy with his squad and Samuels was the ‘last piece of the jigsaw’. Comments that are coming back to haunt him and show just how badly he underestimated what was required and was far too complacent.

Sounds like someone in last chance saloon grabbing at anything he can now to hang on to his job.

Awful recruitment McCall.

Frankly making it up as he goes along, the recruitment in Jan may come too late for him.

 

Imagine if you are one of the 15. Do we think being told he want rid of you will help make them play better for him?

 

It all makes sense now.

We're in a relegation scrap because McCall inherited 15 players who has us up at the top end of the league last season.

 

I didn't get that comment at all.

He had 15 contracted players but all clubs has contracted players. I hammer Rhodes for a lot of things but I didn't expect him to put evey player on a years contract.

If McCall leaves or gets sacked tomorrow then the next manager will have Levi Sutton still for a season. How bad is that? It's football.

To say he wanted to sell them all is just damaging.

 

I've listened to the interview twice now.
Have we any players willing to tell it how it is to Rayner?
Big fat no at an educated guess.
None of them including the players rep, captain fantastic will stay stum.
Pathetic situation.

 

Was gonna post this. Think he highlighted 4 top who he actually tried to get shut of. How are they gonna feel now going into training Monday? He’s lost it

 

Completely unprofessional interview from McCall in my book.

Aggressive, needlessly spikey, agitated. He still acts like he is surprised he's under pressure. I suppose one positive was that he acknowledged his summer transfer dealings were rotten. His attitude is arrogant and his way with Jamie Raynor who asks good questions is also off too.

And I wish he'd stop with the bleeding contradictions. One minute it's 'we have no problem attracting players to Bradford City', next minute it was 'we went after four strikers in the summer and none wanted to come'.

Losing respect for him each passing week.

 

They won't be bothered it's easy money playing for City.
Sorry did I mention playing my mistake.

 

No point Jamie talking to the players officially, they will all come up with the party line that they are all behind the manager. He would have to talk to them off the record to get the truth of what they really think of his coaching skills.

 

Can not say I have heard many players ever come out and publicly call out their current manager on the record

 

Remember when he complained that he was only left with 8 players after Parkinson left?

Goldilocks strikes again!!

 

It's a poor state of affairs when the managers post match interview is more interesting than the on pitch performances
Stuart needs to send his "Captain" !!! Or Kenny Black to do the next one he obviously can't handle them
You are correct I heard it was just the 4 he wanted to ship out unfortunately those 4 were probably involved in yesterday's match They will have no idea who they are I defy anyone to pick the worst 4 out of that lot
What concerns me is the "there's not a problem" attitude running through the club and it's bordering on arrogance All he did yesterday was heap massive pressure on himself and the performance of the January window we all know how successful we are at them
It's time to go NOW Stuart give the new man the window preserve what's left of your "legend" status and give us half chance of survival

 

So now he’s saying that he does need to strengthen the defence? I thought after the Carlisle game he made this sound ridiculous after the free agent centre half was put to him.

He is absolutely clutching at straws, desperately clinging to his last job in football management which is to the detriment of Bradford City.

 

Not quite true. He inherited 15, then re-signed three of them and gave Donaldson an extension.

 

Seven of which played at Wembley

 

He didn't give Donaldson an extension, it was in his contract.

 

Probably a good job as the alternative is BRE up front
