    Can’t argue with the majority of the article. I suppose the only thing I would question is the early comment about people being excited about MC at the start. I was happy to give him time and the benefit of the doubt, the Shrewsbury result was hardly convincing but at least we won. However, I don’t remember many people who were excited or overly optimistic.

    I care deeply bronco, so deeply it hurts and I’ll be honest with you, if losing our next two matches 5/0 would guarantee getting rid of Collins and drury then I’d be delighted. He’s the worst manager we’ve had in my lifetime

    It's like he has cherry picked bits of different threads on here and stitched them together into his own article. I half expected acknowledgment of posters on here for their quotes.

    Pretty well written, the only thing he has wrong is questioning the substitution of Josh Wright. We could have played with 10 men and we wouldn't have noticed that Wright wasn't on the pitch. Shouldn't be playing, never mind being subbed.

    I cant agree with this comment "Some fans aren’t bothered, some want the club to lose games in the hope that Collins will go early" Bradford City fans don't hope their team lose for what ever reason, I don't think I seen @Fordy117@Fordy117 make that sort of comment, and fordy can be as critical as most, Mr Collins does not need fans to hope he losses games he's quite capable of doing that himself.

    We rode our luck against Shrewsbury but there were signs that attacking wise we looked to have improved slightly when we went two upfront. Still looked very shaky at the back and the middle two offered the grand sum of nothing which hasn't changed six games in. Since then we look a relegation side in the making. Two more bad results and we are McCall territory, lets see what action Rahic takes if that happens.

    Bronco. Sorry but I have to disagree. Although it may not have been said outright (though I could probably find it if I could be bothered to look) there was clearly and undercurrent of hope that he failed not only to get Collins the sack but to use the failure to beat and berate Edin and the ownership overall.

    I simply don't know how you can deny that it existed on this forum from many, many contributors.

    There will be many rubbing their hands in glee tonight because of the downfall of someone who deserved better and certainly didn't get it from many on here and it will be open season on the board as the 'I told you so' band struggle to wipe the smiles from their faces.

    Failure is something that Bradfordians like it appears

    Edin needs to take a leaf out of Mr Kiplings book...right through and including the last line.....

    IF you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

    Norman

    He did deserve better but delivered absolute fecking tripe and that's why he was sacked. Got nothing to do with this forum mate at all. I ain't smiling at the sheite I witnessed. Are you?

    Not far wrong in all honesty. It’s a shame that so many on the outside can see this, whereby Rahic either can’t or refuses to acknowledge that he’s got it completely wrong. Just hope to god something happens that results in Collins moving on, just so we survive in L1 before it’s too late

    Think he meant to lose games earlier rather than later in the season so lost ground could be made up
    No City fan wants to see us lose but everyone should realize things will get a hell of a lot worse before they get better if losing a couple of games sorts this shambles out then the sooner the better
