    Who knows what the future holds for our club mate although we have no divine right to be higher in the football league pyramid we have to get out of this league next season, cheap tickets can only be an incentive so long.

    Despite where we are in the table, we are a big club at this level, unfortunately we just cannot seem to justify our potential and left floundering in the wake of clubs like Morecambe and Cheltenham.

    We don't have a great track record of attracting the best of the best of lower league managers, do we? And now the latest candidates for the job of managing the most massive of the lower league clubs are the likes of Adams, Wellens and maybe Hurst

    Why would they be interested in joining a club such a massive club which is only 8 places above being relegated to the NL?

    And what makes you believe they can do a better job of bringing us success than the current incumbents?

    Any of them could be another Taylor or Bowyer or Hopkin who joined us with some successes to their names but did SFA at VP. What we're all looking for is a Kammy or Jewell or Parky and I'd be the first to accept thatt all three appointments involved a huge dollop of luck.

    But in reality given the choice if he has ambition he'd take the reigns at Valley Parade because he'd want to test himself at a big club, a ambitious manager given offers wouldn't stay at Morecombe.

    Parkinson leaving and taking all the backroom staff with him started the decline. I strongly believe the problems aren't just confined to the management and the playing staff but what is done or isn't done Monday to Friday at Apperley Meadows. Numerous managers same coaching staff, doesn't that tell you something.

    So if a manager doesn't get the results some fans feel our club should be getting they hound him out, yet on the other hand if fan's say let's stick with this manager and build the squad they lack ambition, only Bradford City fans :joy::joy::joy:.

    When a club tends to pay compo and go for a manager they really want then things tend to work better think Bolton, Plymouth, Liverpool, CIty even Everton.

    I don’t if it’s due to the managers having more power or demanding more from the club but a manager out of a club might just be grateful to be back in a role.

    I just think if we went for an Adams or a Lowe everyone would believe more and it would be a different direction for the club. A statement of intent not just for the short term but long term.

    Who's fault was that, "I know football Rahic", let's not try and lay the blame anywhere else, he had built that backroom staff up over a number of years just as he did the playing staff so when he moved to Bolton they moved with him, why wouldn't they?.

    Your point is nearly all the defeats were narrow defeats as well showing its small margins. After how we played in the first few months of the season it’s a miracle we won so many

    The point I trying to make was perhaps that the recent problems don't lie with the managers but with the coaching staff unable to pass on the managers ideas and tactics.

    By my reckoning in the past 40 years, we've had 25 different managers and that's excluding the short term or temporary appointments. There's been a few names, a few has beens and a few who the hell is he? And collectively from Roy McFarlane onwards, in those 40 years, they've brought us 4 promotions, including one from an unknown into the higest level of foitball, and 4 relegations. We're now where we were when McFarlane was here building his squad. We're where we are for all sorts of reasons but a big following and 'massive' mindset doesn't seem to be a guaranteed willing formula.

    I really don't know what a winning formula looks like but for me and in our case, luck has played a more significant part than good management. So we'd all better cross our fingers for some success.

    Who did Everton pay compo to, Carlo Ancelo had been sacked at Napoli.

    According to the Scottish Sun we approached him in December and he knocked us back, most likely the reason we settled with Thackleys finest.

    Imagine you’re an experienced manager with decent stock and you walk into Bradford City for an interview, you have a young CEO who’s only been in football about 3 years 2 of which was updating Twitter and an owner who knows nothing about football and would sell up if his unrealistic valuation was somehow met. It’s no surprise managers aren’t queueing round the corner for the job.

    This bug following I keep hearing mentioned is amusing. Stick the prices up to a competitive level and see how many we get. Even through the halcyon days of the 80s and 90s our support was hardly what you would call massive. Had Big Geoff not gone all Bob the builder we'd still have a 15, 000 stadium.
