Contracts

[lino jr.]

15 players out of contract at the end of the season, what sort of club will we be coming back to after the summer?

[DutchBantam]

If McCall is manager then a play-off chasing team with nobody leaving.

If Todd is manager it'll be Holloway, Windass, Penford and a bunch of rejects and loanees.

[sooty]

What about Windass as manager ( he wouldnt take no s**** from anyone) mind you doesn't he help with the reserves and look at their standings oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe wed be safer with Steven Hawkins he could be our new striker

[B_i_N]

Windass isn't intelligent enough to be manager FULLSTOP

[Wicker Man]

sooty, youve just lost a lot of respect saying windass could be boss - youre veiws are appriciated- but frankly i cant think of anyone worse, his ill discipling and loud mouth are an embarrasment to the club. also his huge ego would be a big big problem

'If McCall is manager then a play-off chasing team with nobody leaving.'

Jose Maurinho couldnt turn this team of rejects into a playoff chasing team. People suffer this delusion that the squad we have is good enough to challenge for the playoffs, when in fact Todd has signed a load of crap players.

Sack Todd, appoint a new manager and then build a new team in the summer.

I was only joking, as i said look what state the reserves are in. I think that the best option would be Stu Mcall as he still has a passion for Bradford and that is what they need someone that wants to go places not someone who has already been and is now happy sitting mid to low table in div1 not to mention names. (Oh look i am getting negative now).

It is not that simple - Summer will be too late and some of the better palyers could slip through the net. You need to be scouting, know who will be available free transfers (the ones whose contracts will not be renewed any way) and register interest asap. This should be happening now - we should be scouting and lining up targets (though looking at our last summer recruits - not an awful lot of thought went into it last year)- hopefull JR will know what wage budget he will allow.
In addition the manger should be trying to offload some palyers we do not want to keep but can go on a free transfer.
