Watt is in Bradford tonight, as has already been posted expect that to be done this weekend!

 

A good post. Until Rupp gets us out of this division he owes us big time. We were alright till him and 'mate' came along.

 

No team changes formation on a regualr basis and is successful, it just doesn't happen. The success comes from players knowing their roles to the best of their ability. Once you have a tried and tested formula, barring injuries its pretty much stuck with. Wilder has used his formula now for ages and its what brings him success. Same with Guardiola and Klopp.

 

He’s the man for our board which is all that matters. McCall deserves our support. Whether he is the right man will be seen in the results we get and how we get them.
Get behind the man who is tasked with taking us forwards.

 

Rumour on twitter from that Insider/Secret Bantam account that Guthrie is leaving for Crewe.

We can only hope.

 

Can I just ask with no agenda whatsoever why people have already decided Guthrie is utterly awful? Please note I am not saying for a second I think he is the answer/a huge asset/the second coming I am purely interested to see if I have missed something? As far as I can see he has played around 90 minutes over 2 games for us. His main chance came against Stevenage where I would say he did look poor. However, is the amount of time he has played enough to write him off completely? In this league he had arguably done well in a poor Stevenage side, certainly comparable scoring wise to other strikers we have signed. Just wondering why people have written him off so quickly?

 

That tippy tappy football that you don’t seem to like actually saw us unbeaten at home all season and have an excellent away record. It was amongst the best football seen at VP in the last 10 years.

Don’t agree that he was a lazy appointment. Don’t forget the anarchy in the fan base after he left and all the dross we’ve had since - in and out of the dugout (Collins, Grayson, Hopkin). Stuart was appointed to galvanise us!!

 

Bradford city football club, like the city itself , has lacked investment , internally and externally for decades.
The football club is today, as it has been for at least fifty year. a lower league team. the one i started watching in the 70s, which has had brief flirtations with some kind of success.
The only difference is that we play in front of larger crowds , due to the cheap ticket offers and we play in a far better stadium, The later being a costly adventure , costing in the region of £9000 per week to use.
The key board posters on here who blame happy clappers or the current owners/ management for our plight, should all club together and boy the club and true'ly drive us forward. Own the stadium , new training ground, pay off the debts.
It will only take about £20 million.
Or we can accept where we are at this present time, until that sugar daddy arrives, (don't hold your breath)
this club can only move forward in small steps if any at all. Just enjoy the ride and hope we find that bit of squad magic.
Don't forget 23 other clubs are trying to achieve the same thing as us and all from the same starting point, when the efl get there way with salary caps etc.

 

I think if ever there was a season you can go up on the cheap, this is it. absolutely gonna be a buyers market with all the released players and clubs going to the wall.

I reckon Vaughan was annoyed at our style of play more than anything last season. He seems an arrogant hot head but hes an arrogant hot head with talent and I think he would work well with Mccalls style and a couple of smart transfers to compliment him.

 

He is the type of 'limited'player I wouldn't mind here!

 

past two years we've been in top 6 for players wages, this year we were top on agent fees. we have the money we just dont spend well. no matter how dear season ticket prices are you cant fix poor management.

 

I see Bolton have started their squad building by re-signing one player and offering contracts to others. The same Bolton who are under a transfer embargo and have only had a manager in place for two days.

Meanwhile we've spent 4 days this week moaning about the salary cap in the T&A and preparing fans for disappointment.

 

Can we let go of the old boys club?

Law is yesterday’s man

Time to move on.

 

We can’t keep blaming Richmond for ever. Yes the stadium costs a lot, but how many clubs with a smaller wage budget have been promoted? Are Wycombe seriously spending that much more on players than City a Division below? Accrington, probably have a wage budget half that of City. Where are they? That’s not stadium cost related.

There becomes a point when you have to stop looking at Richmond as certain websites do and start asking why City spend so much on players every single year and fail to achieve every single year. It’s a culture of living from season to season with no forethought for the future in my opinion.

 

I cannot recall Fordy being pleased with any signings, ever
