    Sorry, I don’t control the announcement schedule at BCFC.

    Something changed today. Presumably announcement number 2.

    I could also say I hear Stuart is getting a 1 year contract extension. But maybe that’s bollocks as well.

    But as I’m certainly not the only one who’ll know this maybe they like to put it back as they wonder why stories are appearing on line.

    Just turn the gossip taps off. Easy.

    Doesn’t bother me. Thought message boards were all about rumours.

    If a young CEO is appointed along with a director of football who’s an ex premier league manager and Stuart is given a contract extension I guess we’ll know if rumour become fact.

    I hear it’s tomorrow. That is all.

    I’ve heard the stories as well, you’d think with most the staff furloughed the taps would be off but the gossip is clearly getting out.

    Please no extension for SM unless the aim is relegation

    Doesn’t say English Premier League, so SM could be the new director of football with an extension

    Sparks or Mason and Warnock? :imp:

    I actually would welcome a DOF appointment, and the establishment of a permanent player scouting/recruitment etc. side, which certainly works with the manager, but is not the manager: a setup (such as is common in North American pro sports) where the General Manager hires/fires the managers/coaches and oversees the player scouting and recruitment aspects as well, obviously with input from whoever is the current manager. This would give some stability, as the GM's tend to last a lot longer in their jobs than the managers/coaches, and when done right should see to it that manager and players are on the same wavelength regarding playing style. That should lessen the player turnover a bit, and get us away from the current system where the new manager is always burdenend with the old manager's players, some/many/all of whom he doesn't rate...

    The only way in which making Sparks CEO could possibly ever work is if his remit was just to focus on the commercial operation of the club, with a seasoned DoF brought in to sort all football elements, including scouting and recruitment, with proper backing and investment from Rupp.

    It will be completely laughable if McCalls contract is extended given our current plight. Don’t get me wrong, I want him gone but I could probably stomach keeping him if there is a proposed change which we think will assist.. But you simply cannot just reward failure and put blind faith in to a guy who does not seem to have learnt anything from his previous tenures.

    I'll be honest I'm a little nervous about what is to be announced. We are at such a bad point as a football club that whatever is going on now is absolutely critical to the future and direction of Bradford City.

    As FB mentioned above, I wouldn't be happy at Sparks being CEO but if his remit was focusing on the commercial aspect with a football side detached from it I think it could work. I think the work he's done so far in a very tough climate is commendable, seats to tunnels and further commercial sponsorship shouldn't be sniffed at with how things are.

    Like most on here, I also love Stuart. I genuinely believe he's a top coach, jobs at Sheffield United with Warnock and with the Scottish national team tells me that he can do a job. I've actually listened to Simon Ramsdens podcast on Undr the cosh and he praised Stuart and his sessions.

    I think Stuarts ability in the transfer market mixed in with the clubs inability to do anything right in the market is a disaster. I think we've seen that this season.... I do like some of our business this season but we are missing quality. If this appointment is bringing in a DOF who can open doors and contacts to leave Stuart to do what he does best in coaching. I honestly believe Stuart can be successful here.

    Whatever happens in whatever transition is coming is vital to stop the club dying, here's hoping folks.

    I dont think Rupp is the problem. Its his CEO and Manager assembling shite.

    Rupps only issue is he isnt hands on enough. He has left the lid off the jam jar....

    Yes, the RCB tongue was not far from the RCB cheek with those suggestions! (Hence the "imp" emoji.)
