    If you remember Stuart said weeks ago he was sitting down and speaking with Julian with regards next season, I assume the retained list and possible recruitment, I dont see why that would change other than after this Covid-19 there will be players looking for clubs that we wouldnt have contemplated previously because of the money they would have been on previously.

    I'd suggest its showing ambition by the club, which previously they have been accused of lacking, maybe they have a plan ?.

    League 1 and 2 players are going to have to be realistic ( including agents ) regular capped income or nothing with regards wage's . This needs controlling with all clubs agreeing to having a wae cap in place . 4700 proffesional playes in this country , they can't all play in the championship or PL .

    No, they will have lists. That's not showing ambition.

    1400 desperate out of contract players. A raft of quality players available at a fraction of the price they normally would be, but we might just sign 5 kids on loan because they're free.

    More fool me for expecting anything better with Rhodes running the ship.

    There has never been a situation like this before. So let’s see.

    We need a new team.. The ones we still have need sacking off.

    I think the club is in a worse position than if makes out.

    The interview with McCall is honest but sucks the life out in terms of ambition.

    Not going to be busy in the market and don't expect decent names.

    I agree we need a new team, but we cannot afford to 'sack' the remaining players under contract.

    If we could, I think the only senior players I would keep would be Connor Wood and Paudie O'Connor

    I used to agree about POC, he had some really worrying bits of defending last season where he'd just let players walk past him in the box. Hope it's only a blip!

    He got the fully Bowyer treatment. Always going to effect a player.

    I would have thought the current situation, would allow City time to come up with clear and well thought out targets to fill the squad.

    There would seem to be no reason why City and identified players could not sign a ‘Pre-Contract’, so that when the ‘Pre season’ starts, they can join the club immediately.

    I am a little concerned with the comment by McCall, ‘I would probably say we are looking for a squad of 22-23, so it might not be a case of a raft of signings“. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18502293.bradford-city-might-sign-five-players-says-mccall/

    With injury/health/suspension, then there are often several players unavailable. The big gap is usually the goalkeeper, where I honestly think that it is beneficial to have three.

    If the EFL currently has seven substitutes in the match day squad, then there could be problems in having enough players.

    I've only just seen this mornings T&A crap. The excuses have started. (eyes down bingo)

    Bradford City football club is the joke that keeps giving.

    No rush, 1000s of players will be out of work who will have to come into the real world and in many cases accept a reduced salary.
