    Maybe a clever aspect of this is the players want
    T&S and will continue to bust a gut until they are
    appointed? If so, why change it?

    Downside would be if an offer came in for them
    and it was too good to turn down. Losing them
    would be a missed opportunity.

    If T&S are happy enough as is then let it remain
    as it is and see where we are at end of season. If
    we got promoted via play offs then the job would
    surely be theirs .

    I agree but sometimes passing teams get pressed and harried and can’t always play that way and have to be more direct Cook makes us more adaptable

    Deano and Jamie are City legends who showed passion. Anyone who wants "coaches" who have gone off and done weird things like studied the game in Iceland and Portugal over players with that status can't be serious.

    You for real !
    Three you mention all untried managers just like T&S but you’d prefer any one of them get real

    It didn’t suit because we didn’t have a centre forward fit shows my he will be needed in some matches

    McCall was a City legend, so was Jackson.

    You need more than passion otherwise Roy Keane would be up there with Jose and Pep.

    Grow up pal.

    A tricky one for the club because they have to pay two wages - and equally. The lads wont ve expensive but they certainly wont be cheap if this form continues into May....other clubs will be aware too.

    T&S can name their price in May - possibly even now. They couldnt a couple of months ago. Smart playing the waiting game for all parties...

    Jacko saved us from relegation to the National League and Stuart has the best win percentage of any spell of a permanent City manager.

    Passion is all that matters.

    There's nothing wumming about wanting a manager with passion for the club, and a commitment to playing the Bradford City way.

    Dean Windass can't be trusted with a bottle of lager and a bottle opener, let alone a football club.

    Difficult though as we don't know how they do build.

    I believe that some are not understanding how massive next season is. I get the feeling its vital we go up.

    Obviously it is highly desirable. But why exactly is it vital?

    We're losing money mate and maybe Rupp wants out.

    Staying in league 2 just isn't going to do any favours. I am not saying don't hire them but I fully understand the club for waiting because if they can't take us up them it will be a mistake to appoint them.

    I can assure you he was not going to put up with what Rahic was suggesting, but if you believe otherwise fine.

    In real life, and I would somehow class football as real life, people dont quit jobs after two meetings with a new boss and not having at least tried to make a go of it. He went because he had an offer on the table. If that wasnt there then there is no chance in a million years he would have made himself unemployed after a brief chat with Rahic.

    Get real man. This is real life. You don't walk out on a good job without another to go to unless you have something lined up and the speed with which he was unveiled at Bolton says exactly that.

    Parky's not daft, why would he walk out and risk unemployment when he could have waited to be sacked and get compensation. He had a year left on his contract.

    You are not living in the real world if you think he left after two 20 minutes chats with Rahic because he "didnt like his vibe". You are just creating an urban myth with absolutely no substantiation.
