(Rolling eyes)

It's a ridiculous question. I might as well say Alex Ferguson for all the relevance it has. you are simply trying to deflect from the underlying issue....does McCalls recent and long term management resume warrant a third go round at Bradford City?

But.....sigh....I did respond to another who asked this.

My response was that we should have been interviewing and asking for applications, we didn't, why?

But to give you at least one name to satisfy your need Nathan Jones. Great at Luton (with a 51.8% win record 'cos I know you love those win percentage stats), bad spell at Stoke, has gone back to Luton and saved them from relegation (with a 44.4% win percentage ). Hi sresume is at least the equal of McCall and he has a promotion under his belt at his first management appointment.

Having many friends in Luton who are season ticket holders they admit they didn't want him back but he has been the difference, he has taken a team odds on for relegation and galvanised them.

So I am not saying he would have worked, that he would have even come, but we didn't even speak to him.

He was available at the time. Why didn't we even approach him? We didn't...we went with a lazy, lazy, lazy option.

Yes McCall could succeed this time but as the old saying goes even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That' enough...

In return can you argue against my point that any other name at the top of a resume like McCalls and we would have been in uproar if they had been appointed without interviewing anyone else. Convince me that we would not have looked at it as lacking ambition and was just a cheap appointment designed to save money.

I yield the floor to BL.

 

In fact what I actually said was '..he might get in for an interview, big might but that's it.'. If you are going to make a statement on what I said get it right.

 

Who was manager when we played Northampton and Swansea at Wembley then?

 

Which bit of "I merely pointed that that in Pep's case you were totally wrong" didn't you understand?
And the three years at City? I'm assuming that winning in his second season with a 100 points doesn't count in your world.

 

Yeah, the transfer rumour front seems to have gone to the quietest point it's been at all summer. I think the fact it sounds like one of the priorities is another forward but we can't really get one in until we ship one out probably isn't helping - still pretty surprised we don't seem to be closer to solving the right back issue so far but plenty of time yet I suppose.

 

Sutton could be the right.

Ignore what Sutton says it's up to McCall and he isn't good enough to be demanding where to play.

If he wants to get into the team then RB might be his best shout.

 

You asked @Feats Don't Fail Me Now a stupid and utter pointless question. No shock he hasn't answered it.

 

Same mate. I do think we need another RB but maybe McCall wants Sutton at RB because I would have thought one would have been in by now. Get your back 3-4-or 5 settled ASAP is a golden rule.

 

Do I need to reply to that, didn't your realise I was comparing like for like whilst in league one, come on @Dubois your better than that.

 

With all due respect, Broncs, it wasn't obvious that you were comparing like for like from what you actually wrote, but you're the last person on here I would want to upset. So, if I have, I profoundly apologise.

 

Why was it stupid and pointless?

If you thought it so then there's no need to comment is there because well, I don't actually know what a reply to a pointless question is called - futile? Insignificant? Waste of time?

 

Oh god....is this the level that the McCallites have descended to?

(pssstttt I don't believe you)

 

Wow "but you're the last person on here I would want to upset" you've not upset me as I posted I'd have thought most would have realised I was talking league one as Stuart took over from Phil Parkinson in league one, ditto if I didn't make it clear enough I also apologise.

 

Covid-19 has a lot to answer for.

 

Never said I was in favour of McCall babz. Imagine if I judged you by the same levels as you did of me and suggested that you didn't read my posts well. That would be terrible....

 

I was trying to be gracious. Best leave it there.

 

Gnight John Boy

(Whispers). Still don’t believe you.

 

I told thee Joe Colbeck or Luke Medley anyone lol
