    I read the first few paragraphs and it has made my blood boil!

    What utter garbage this guy is speaking!

    He wants to spend no money and thinks we will have a competitive squad because he thinks a coach is gonna come in & wave a magic wand and miraculously make players who just arnt up to it suddenly be up to it!!!


    WHAT UTTER LUNACY!

    and he talks about bringing young players in, except all
    Experienced players he got rid of like mcardle, who could have help young players,
    i also dont need to remind anyone about the Hendire situation


    This guy is on another planet and obviously hasnt learned his lesson, we are fecked next season..

    They certainly enjoy the publicity when it's positive news/quotes and showing people they are not fools as in the video when Stefan quotes a company within a company, was there any need to make that public knowledge, they knew who the culprits were so it should have been kept in house and the persons involved dealt with.

    Let's see if they are as gracious when it's not such good news maybe giving a public apology to the likes of Woodhouse Grove for the comments about the training facilities after Grayson's criticism.

    As owners of Bradford City we do not agree with comments with regards the training facilities at Rawdon Meadows.

    Did you actually just say money isnt everything?

    Sorry to break it to you but RIGHT NOW, money IS EVERYRHING in football, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fantasist...

    This guy just wants to develop youth and make money, thats it ! He has no interest in promotion, he will settle for mid table mediocrity as longas he sells a few players on for profit

    He needs to leave Bradford City alone, and go find another club for this.

    The next managerial appointment is indeed vital
    3 managers of the caliber you have mentioned were unable to advise the chairmen on how to run an English club so how a "head coach" who fits the flawed structure is going to change things I do not know The unrest behind the scenes by my thoughts was caused because McCall was aware of what was going wrong and tried to advise differently out of loyalty to the fans Grayson told them what was going wrong and Parkinson didn't want to be part of what's gone wrong. I agree money does not always bring you success A strong experienced MANAGER encouraged by a chairman prepared to believe in him can bring the same result by motivating players and providing the right blend of youth and experience.
    Funds would be generated watching a progressive team (back to basics)
    As you say between now and August will reveal our destiny

    I agree with you when you imply that having money, or more importantly a better playing budget doesn't guarantee success and promotion from our division. There have been plenty of teams who have been well funded and still haven't gained promotion.

    But having a bigger budget is certainly better than having a small budget especially in the hands of a good manager and combined with a good team spirit. Looking back at the last 5 season, from 14 promoted teams, most promoted teams have had playing budgets towards the top end and certainly better than ours. Only Burton (and possibly Rotherham) stand out as not being amongst the well funded clubs.

    A big playing budget has lots of advantages over a small playing budget! And the promotion odds are certainly stacked in favour of those clubs who provide their manager with the big playing budgets.

    If 3 of the best managers at this level all said their plan was bollocks then what does that tell you?

    Edin said we don’t want to be going to the Championship and having to buy 20 players so presumably if we are going for promotion next season, this summer’s recruitment will be with that in mind? Saying the new coach will be a team player can only mean he will be picking his team with youth inclusion as a mandate. Interestingly, Grayson chose to play Warnock over the last half dozen games despite the fact he was due to retire and we had younger options on the bench. He chose a football decision over a philosophy. I sincerely hope our new coach does well but it’s gonna get interesting for him when we hit a bad patch. I think Stuart had a dog of a job and it looks like the job is not going to get much better. We can only hope.

    i really hope he doesn't believe that coaching is going to be the difference and deliver us success. All footballers get coached. We are the same as every other league club.

    I think Rotherham were funded by Tony Stewart in their rise from league 2 to the championship in consecutive seasons. Also pumped in millions for the new ground. I think Burton are a good example of a club to mirror, to put it into context their wage bill when they were promoted to the championship was just over £3 million and rose to just under £8 million for their first season in the championship. I'm presuming the new manager of Bradford City will have a budget around the £3 million mark as that seems to be the bare minimum for a competitive team.

    Who are the managers that you are referring to? Surely not the past 3 BCFC managers? There is a good argument for Parkinson to be in that category. Grayson has proved over a number of clubs that he is in that category. But McCall? Shirley shome mishtake! Poor at BCFC last time (big budget, poor results) and one good season swiftly followed by a mediocre season. So where is the evidence that he should be considered one of the best managers 'at this level' I actually dispair at how blinkered and deluded people are about Saint Stuart!

    Maybe that Edin's got coaching badges in the wrong game ?.

    I think you're right. I'd forgotten about Tony Stewart's involvement at Rotherham.

    They didn't last long in the Championship did they? And I suspect that the £8m they spent on their playing budget was one reason for their demise. It compares poorly with a typical mid table Championship playing budget of around £15m!

    Burton would be a good model to follow although they are the exception in recent years. Even their £3m budget would be an improvement on our current one. Mind you, they also have a great training facility to practice on; several notches up from Rawdon Meadows! I wish we had one similar to theirs ;)

    Well you certainly can't be classed in that category.

    Stas can of course be manipulated but in two seasons, a play off final season one and firmly established in play offs in second season. To me this is as good as it gets given budget and incoming tightwad board.

    There is really no point in debating Stuart McCall's managerial record with this poster.

    McCall has the best win % of any city manager in 30 years.

    Huddersfield got promoted on £11m so budget isn't everything. Having said that, playing budget is still the best indicator and I expect ours will be much lower next year - probably less than Shrewsbury's this time. I think League 1 budgets ranged from about £2m to around £8m in the season just finished and I expect ours will be down near the bottom of that next year. Maybe we can keep it above bottom 4 if we sell Wyke - but I still doubt it will be mid-table and his sale causes other problems!

    It baffles me how anybody thinks we might get into the Championship without external funding injections. A guessed loss of £500k ticket revenue and £200k+ commercial revenue for next season will mean we need to cut over £1m from the playing budget get to breakeven and the current owners seem determined not to put money in so the playing budget will be cut back hard if they don't do so. Maybe we'll sell the injured Robinson for £1m to have a mid-table budget!
