    to still not be willing to admit that Edin was the cause, and the root of all the issues we had as a club still is unbelievably deluded.

    I wonder how these people get through a day unaided to be honest.

    blaming Stuart McCall for Edin Rahic's faults is also disrespectful to McCall, and is a case of being blinkered because you refuse to admit the man actually is a decent manager. there's no arguing with these people because they aren't going to admit they were/are wrong.

    I'm not sure I follow... he did a good job at Motherwell with KB, and a good job at City with KB - why would he need to change?

    "Stuart McCall doesn't know how to turn around a bad run of form"


    that'll be why they've won their last two, including away at promotion chasing Peterborough.

    I really wish Stuart all the very best and I am sorry it hasn’t worked out at Scunthorpe. But please no clamour for for a third go with us.

    It's the mentality of the players that's more important Dave they are pampered protected wannabes who have an unscrupulous but very savvy agent well versed in getting the best for the player and himself It's time the lower league chairman said an emphatic NO to their demands and stick together then the players would have very limited options. We are a prime example (self inflicted I know) of how bad things can get if you are taken in by them.
    Every club needs players willing to play for the club as well as the manager we had a team full not too long ago but sadly these days they are a rarity. Maybe it's time the governing bodies showed some initiative and issued a blueprint or a standard contract applicable to ALL players joining a new club maybe then the players would take pride in pulling on the shirt as a professional footballer thus giving clubs a modicum of protection

    The same manager who lost six on the trot even Collins got two wins out of 6.
    Best of Luck to him at Scunthorpe I hope he does very well but he deserved the sack here

    As @Storck@Storck pointed out, if there is no point crying over spilt milk, why take every opportunity to raise it and attack Rahic?

    It’s happened and, in my opinion, was a mistake. But FFS do we have to start a new thread every day or every few days?????!!

    Exactly, let’s at least wait until he has some success with them before you laud over others. Personally, I agree with you and the majority. It was a poor decision and is one of many made by Rahic.

    But a new thread every single day is just not appropriate

    Yes he's in a similar situation to Hopkin, he had to go in to a club with another managers players and is expected to turn them around ;).

    As much as I respect what Stuart McCall means to us fans and Bradford City I'd prefer all 3 points next Saturday.

    Well I was hoping for 4 points from our next two games, so go on we'll share the point with Stuart and kick Sunderlands arse at Stadium of Light;).

    I can't think of the right word, maybe it's character or "steel" but it was something McCall's teams at City always seemed to lack; in sharp contrast to his own characteristics as a player.

    I think it is one of the reasons he has always struggled to get teams out of bad runs - as we saw last season, the further we moved away from having players from the Parkinson era the more spineless we became, resulting in that abysmal run from December.
