Quoted from pen penfras


Another interview where nothing much is said other than jargon. We're not going down the director of football route, yet. They have well defined criteria for what they're looking for in the next manager, but not a hint of what the criteria are.

They've clearly held discussions about the situation for a while, and came to the strange decision that if we didn't beat Doncaster they'd sack the manager there and then, but haven't put any thought into what comes next.

Yet most people are still crediting them as oracles that have planned and strategised every small detail of everything. It's absolutely no different to what we've been doing my entire life except we're now spending loads of money to be excrement.

The hint that they'd appoint Davies and Pearson in a relegation fight scares me that they've not learnt how big a mistake that will be from Fenty's era.


Cant say that I think this is very fair or even accurate. What’s the jargon you’re referring to?

He probably isn’t used to things being done in a professional manner. Add to that, he’s not going to turn and tell Ben and Shaun that they don’t stand a cat in hell’s chance, is he?

That interview is exactly what it should’ve been at this point, a PR masterclass. Say a lot without really saying much. A skill our former owner crassly lacked in. All that was needed was to quell the talk around the ‘head coach’ and possible director of football role, give a brief overlay of the next steps and leave it there.


Poppycock , we had staff with many hats ,not just pretty faces , making mountains out of molehills ; throwing the baby out with the bathwater up a gumtree !

Don't forget the orange!

All the post/rants(half-cut?) on here were golden to , pretty funny a shame they are seemingly gone - a bit of a comedy character until things took there darker turns .



Stockwood talks  calmy and impressively , although not as entertaining as our former primary funders 'jargon' for me .

Seen a lot of conversation on twitter by Bradford fans on a “lack of communication” from their club surrounding their managerial appointment.

Out of interest, when would you next expect to hear from Stockwood?

When would be too soon?
When would be too long?

If we were to lose the next 3 or 4 games that would be too long.

Interesting.

If there’s no significant movement, I’d like to hear something at the back end of next week.
