    Very fair point which makes the case for getting him if we can stronger

    Very optimistic not going to lie. He would be a fantastic appointment if we got him but has a manager dropped two leagues before?

    To be fair, it's not 'worse' than betting on corners either - that has to be the most joyless bet you can place, surely?

    Plymouth losing 2-0 not even a shot on goal, let alone target.

    Hmm... Kind of lessens the appeal, but that's the nature of the beast I suppose.

    He's got a point to prove so I wouldn't discount it. We actually are an attractive club in a lot of ways, largely down to the fans. I share the view of what seems like a lot of people in the game that we have brilliant fans who will turn up and back the loudly and in numbers. Alongside our recent history of upsetting the big boys which including the prem heroics now stretches 20 odd years on and off and I can start to see why people in the game continually seem to trot out stuff about why we're so attractive to work for. The issue is we need the right people doing the right jobs to bring it all together and people who have the DIY mentality I think characterises successful people in Bradford.

    At the level of anything under a top 10 Premier League club, it’s a tiny novelty market that’s used as a new customer generating loss leader. Like political betting markets, they’re basically clueless and follow the cash. Their business doesn’t rely on taking more than they make on every single market, but on something like this is pretty much guaranteed anyway as they’re usually among the least informed markets.

    As soon as anyone knows anything, the favourite descends to razor thin odds on almost immediately.

    I must admit, I wasnt getting the mini love-in for Wild on here earlier today. Manager of a struggling National League side, dont get the attraction at all

    Same, 16th in the national league and played a lot more games than those in the bottom 3 and above them too.

    I understand why someone wouldn't get the 'love in' based on this season's results for sure.

    But I'll tell you what makes a lot less sense - this post:
