    And if the answer is no what are our alternatives. It’s unthinkable that a list of potential targets isn’t already on the table.

    I’d love a team of Darren Moore, Wayne Jacobs and Jamie Lawrence (as fitness coach) but it’s unlikely really.

    Whatever the outcome, it needs to have some oooomph to put the confidence back.

    We live in strange times.

    I don't think the owners would appoint an ex city player again after last time

    You can keep Wayne on the fence Jacobs away for me.
    The other two is a big yes,with Dean Windass as the strikers coach.

    Now as assistant manager to Stuart I would have readily agreed with you, but in partnership with Bruno, he's doing well, he's probably the right sort of person to keep the squad level headed as well. As for Windass, not a chance, the guy was a great striker but he's unstable (not his fault and I wish him well in any help with it) and would appear to have an alcohol problem. If he had what it took to carry on the professional image required of a football coach he'd surely not have had such a long period out of the game and making a living after dinner speaking. If you want a strikers coach then I'd look at Dean Saunders, although he'd be far too expensive.

    Not sure if it's official but he's certainly there with him. They are big friends, as is Jamie Lawrence with them, surprised Bruno hasn't given him a role.

    Good question, they are both devout Christians. I recall Ces Podd once missed a match similar circumstances back in the days when Sunday football was rare.

    In a word No! This is Bradford City we’re on about chaps have a word. The delay will be so they can announce Grayson is leaving at the same time they announce Rosler as his replacement. You heard it here first, or maybe you didn’t if someone else has said the same in another thread :D

    Darren Moore is way out of our range. He has turned WBA around and could even by a miracle keep them up.

    Even if he doesn't get the job I don't see him moving from a low end PL club to a midtable L1 club.

    Depends.

    If he doesn't get the WBA job and wants to do management then he would consider us. He isn't a proven manager yet.

    Very true, Steven Gerrard has had to start at the equivalent of a mid table L1 club after all

    He probably would consider us but I think he is pretty much nailed on for the WBA job anyway. There won't be many managers who have taken 7pts from Spurs home, Man Utd away and Liverpool home this season.

    Unlike us WBA have already reported they're talking to other managers and Moore.

    I thought Sheridan was nailed on at Fleetwood then they end up with Barton.

    We're a basket case club without a plan.

    Yes and then that will be extended (twice).
