    You can really feel the surge of positivity flowing through the Club.For once both Management and the players are heading in the same direction and this makes us stronger on and off the field. T&S are turning heads through their brand of managing and it's great that we are making headlines for the right reasons once again. The feeling of expectation has returned and it's a wonderful lift for us all.

    Cannot reveal source, however, I have heard that City were approached last week by a club looking to talk to Trueman and Sellars, and the club in question wasnt Barrow.

    Make of that what you will, but if true, makes sense that the permanent offers were made over the weekend after the club previously indicated there was no rush

    I read that on Facebook this morning, a post from yesterday.

    I wouldn't worry too much about your HP mate, this rumour done the rounds already.

    I heard it was Bristol Rovers who made the approach

    I can't put into words how unlikely that sounds.

    How confident are you that's the case?

    Is that from your reliable source?

    All irrelevant now anyhow mate, just glad that they are signed on permanently to banish the uncertainty, a thought echoed by Callum Cooke in his post match interview

    Not my source Dave, but a friend of the source who works for the club told me, so don't know how reliable that was. It did seem unlikely to be Bristol Rovers to me, but who cares now, they are ours.

    So, looking at T&S since being given interim job and a cliche checklist.

    Come up with a game plan ✓
    Get a shape ✓
    Get the players to buy in ✓
    Handle going behind in a game ✓
    Respond to losing a game ✓
    Win "ugly" ✓
    And almost as important,
    get the fans back on board ✓

    To be honest, these lads have done pretty much the impossible. Long may it last.

    Article in today's i
    Mark Trueman and Conor Sellars: Meet Bradford’s two young co-managers out to turn the club’s fortunes around
    So that pretty much confirms that the final say is Mark's.

    Interesting that Sparks only asked Trueman to take over as caretaker manager and it was Trueman who wanted Sellars as joint manager.

    Bit pessimistic maybe, but Richie Wellens has left Salford. I wonder if Sparks will be weighing up the options? Would say we have no where near the players for his style.

    Dont understand your post. Why would Sparks be weighing up his options?. He will be very happy with the job Trueman and Sellars are doing, and rightly so.

    Really? You think that?

    He will be happy that T & S have kept us up?

    But you think we won't have question marks that T & S can take us up then you need to shake your head.

    I won't go as far as saying he weighing up his options but he could well be thinking I am giving this another 6 months to see whats what.

    Next Season is massive for this football club. Huge!

    I agree that we need to see further progression next season and playoffs is a minimum requirement next season, but as I said, and you agreed, the fact that Wellans is suddenly available will not mean Sparks will be weighing up options right now
