    That would be an interesting one, did Jewell have any position with Richie at Salford or was he employed by Lee Power, and would Richie want him at Bradford City.

    Been quite ill Darren Moore hasn’t he? Covids and pneumonia IIRC? Be a bit harsh to sack him, he was probably signed with one eye on League one anyway

    Because we've appointed X "right managers" in X years. Because we offered the wrong manager a contract extension. Because we gave two rookie joint managers a contract, and then fired them. Need I go on?

    It is very well worded and the right decision to offer them continuing roles in the club.

    Nor would I be.

    I'd feel like Sparks had stabbed me in the back, and had misled and misinformed me.

    'Victims of their own success' is not a good enough reason to relieve them of their duties, I'm afraid.

    Most would agree their last 12/15 games in charge with little or no change performance wise was the death knell for both, you don't deliver your always open to getting replaced harsh but it the way of life for football managers.

    One win in twelve is failure the sack is failure. And he could do it with the biggest budget in the league at Salford one win in six. Bowyer had a better record

    Give it a rest. T&S have gone and aren't going to be re-instated. If Wellens rocks up, we should get behind him (irrespective of his run at Salford) and turn this place into a fortress again. Any new manager deserves a "honeymoon period" irrespective of where they came from and what they did there. Even Sol Campbell (he says through gritted teeth)

    As fans say the system they were playing can be very attack minded, but originally it was about getting results and our defense were very good with regards not shipping goals, to then use the same formation to attack teams surely players had to be change, at league two level I'm not sure the same/similar 11 starters can change midstream.

    I accept the right candidate has to be given the job and we haven't been great recently with regards managers but as you say get the right man in and changes are very possible, you mention McFarland, also Dolan, Cherry was a rookie but did well, Lennie Lawrence couldn't but Kammy could followed by Jagger, is it luck or have the people making the calls doing enough due diligence.

    Never mind CEO, I don't know why we never played Edin up front as player/captain/manager/coach. God, but he knows football. Lucky old Stuttgart.

    Sparks saying it appears that some of the players downed tools in the last few weeks.
