    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

    This is something I posted on a closed Facebook group a short while ago:

    "Michael Collins was put in an impossible position. He was offered the job far too early in his coaching career, but it was too good an opportunity for him to turn down. Nobody connected with City wanted him to fail. We all move on."

    I think many of the comments on here have taken a similar line.

    I don't think that failure is something that Bradfordians like, but it is something we have learned to deal with and make the best of. There is a big difference.

    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?

    No surprise there @Norman Corner@Norman Corner, more rubbish many are glad that Edin has had the balls to dismiss the lad, he should never have accepted the job completely out of his depth .
    Failure was something Edin was giving us when he appointed Collins because he know football and found a puppet who would do as he was told, they should have never left themselves so open to criticism by promoting Collins so dont go on about posters using the sacking of Micheal Collins to beat and berate Edin, this is the man who knows football CLEARLY HE DOESN'T.
    We will see if Edin has learnt his lesson with our next appointment some are suggesting Ben Garner which looks a very good choice, I would very much doubt if he'll come to Bradford City and be Edin's stooge, stick to the non footballing side of the business although Edin's track record in business is not that convincing.

    Deny, deny and....deny. Eventually someone believes it.

    I can see the smile on your face all the way over here.

    You don't have a clue Norman about old bronco, as I say at least Edin saw the errors of his original appointment let's hope the announcement tomorrow puts a smile on old bronco's face, I could be ecstatic if he announced he was selling up now that would be fantastic news.
