    Just spoke with a scout, all he said was T&S have made a very positive impression in the football world and expect Turnbull to be very busy in the coming weeks with phone calls/texts as agents are also well aware of the turn around. Positive times :thumbup:

    I can't believe you are all rising to this troll's bait.
    The guy is clearly on a windup and is succeeding, it seems.

    Fantastic job they have done and deserve the position full time. They are making this club attractive to come to-which will help with summer recruitment.

    Word will be getting around amongst the playing fraternity about how they prepare for games and how they are as man managers.

    I think they have achieved something quite amazing in literally no time at all.

    There’s no doubt about them getting the job in my opinion, it’s just a matter of when. They’re building something here and I doubt they’d be interested in looking elsewhere right now. Clubs who’d take a chance are most likely to be struggling at the wrong end of the table. There’s a relatively young group of people in all the key positions at the club. Who knows where we could end up?

    If there’s any risk of them being enticed away, I’d suspect this to be toward the end of the season. Provided we’ve got them signed up before that point I’d carry on as is. Everyone’s happy with the situation so no panic just yet.

    Excellent news. Surely an appointment that everyone agrees with at this point.

    When the inevitable bad run eventually happens can the usual knee jerk poster's please keep their heads a little bit. These guys seem to have "it" so let's see where they can take us.

    My reluctance to purchase a ST until they were offered a contract clearly shook Sparks into action.

    There's been some talk about this summer being the wrong time to increase ST prices. I guess much will depend on the level of clarity and confidence around fans getting back into grounds, but if we continue this sort of momentum and go into the summer on an upward trajectory, then I think its exactly the time for an increase. Nothing outlandish, put them up to £180, something like that. I've always said that as fans we need to be willing to pay more, if and when we're given a proper club to invest in.

    Don't fix what isnt broken. T & S sound comfortable with what's what at present just leave it for now.

    I tell you what’s a certainty when we get our first negative result under them there will be plenty of comments on here saying it isn’t working

    You might be right that others will try but I don't believe T&S will be tempted. They've just played their part in one of the most successful January windows I can remember, and also have half a dozen lads in their squad that they are personally responsible for developing. They also appear to have the dressing room 100% on side with what they are trying to do. At this early stage in their senior management career, they'd be fools to walk away from all of that.

    I find it hard to believe that the likes of Rowe, Canavan, Vernham etc, would sign for a club if they weren’t told who the manager was going to be. In my opinion, Trueman & Sellars have or will agree to become the next permanent managers. There’s nobody more deserving of the role and it would a massive gamble and a travesty if they were relieved of their duties. Even Alastair Campbell couldn’t come up with a spin that would justify that one.

    I will be disappointed if they are not signed up permanently by the end of next week. They deserve nothing less now..

    I know many have said what's the rush and just leave things as they are, but I think the interim title is getting a bit insulting now

    Christ, nobody is chasing them or going to appoint them based on 11 games. Sheer lunacy.

    We can. Because the glove fits and it works but no way is another team coming in for them at the moment. Ludicrous suggestion.

    I guarantee that the only people who are worrying about contracts and decisions are on Bantam Talk. Sparks will be having an ongoing daily dialogue with T&S. They'll already have talked at length about the future. It would be nice to get a public announcement, but I would guess when they're ready and the timing is right, they'll let us all know.

    Can't agree with that. Rupp screwed up big time with the man who knew football and as a tyro new football owner, I think he learnt a huge amount from that. Let's look at the guy's business record - he's a very successful, astute businessman. He got it wrong first time around with us, but he's still here, paying the bills, making sure that Ryan Sparks et al have money for transfers and clearly buys into what Sparks is trying to do in re-building back the club. There are two things at play here. Rupp wants to help the club improve so it's a better asset to sell off. Or, he genuinely wants to become known as the owner of a successful improving Bradford City. In the meanwhile, can you tell me of anyone who wants to buy him out? No, you can't. So let's hope his impetus is for the second option.
