    Gritty, no nonsense football. A midfield that tackles and gets rid (in a forward direction) Defenders that block and pass out rather than across the box. Battering ram Centre forward play.

    Steely determination to win rather than yo not lose.

    Remind you of something. Sounds like the 12/13 parky team.

    Welcome to Bradford Del Boy. DABA. Were not mad were f&&&in barmy

    Not entirely enamoured with the prospect of DA, but if he gets us promoted, he will do.

    So whom?

    Yes I’d have gone for the German chap , aka Barnsley, but within our mind set and budget, Adams should do fine

    Sorry don’t have any names, and it is difficult to say what our budget is. He certainly doesn’t have me whooping for joy that is for sure. However, more than happy to be proved wrong. Nevertheless he has to produce promotion nothing else will do.

    You get a disciplinarian, teetotal, deeply religious manager with a fierce temper; and I think you get a very good chance of promotion next season. I'll be following events closely at Valley Parade for the next twelve months. Good Luck to you but today your luck has changed for the better already.

    Bloody hell you lot have stooped even lower than us!!!
    Stockton is bloody useless, one of the worst centre forwards I've ever seen at Brunton Park, he can't jump any higher than his standing height, looses the ball more times than a blind man with one leg and has to be told (in a very simple language) where the back of the net is, he's been a bit of an improvement at Morcambe granted, that wouldn't be hard mind!! but Bradford can and should sign far better.

    Very handy piece on our Derek @WidthOfAPost by Jason McKeown which i wont copy and paste but head over yourselves for a look.
    Got to say i am not bowled over by his charisma or footballing prowess but if he can replicate Parkinson then City will be leaving the khazi league sooner than later.

    Who needs sexy football.

    Hi
    A Plymouth Argyle fan here.
    You will get promoted but it won't be exciting or pretty.

    DA has no family so there's no distractions, football is his life.
    His team will be journey man players with one or two flair players.

    He'll play a flat back 4 in a 4-1-2-3 formation or sometimes he'll have 2 sitting defensive midfield players. He'll play with one striker flanked by two others, usually these are strikers playing wide.

    Tactically he's very good and uses his substitutions well. If the one or two flair players don't perform the football can become dour, he wins a lot of games 1-0.

    He'll big up his achievements and will get under the noses of opposition managers and players.

    Starting off everything will be fine but as Ross County fans warned Argyle fans Adams will start to be annoying once the team struggles. Adams doesn't take kindly to criticism and will react to the fans frustrations.

    He won't be easy to get along with for your local media guys.

    In summary, Adams is a very good manager, he knows how to win games and is at his best as the underdog on a low budget, getting the best out of journeymen mediocre players. It won't be pretty but it'll be effective.

    A manager the CEO really wants.

    That’s what we get.
