I've just landed in Malta and am using the airport wifi to read this shit. If there was an award for comedy in sport we'd be runaway winners.
Go on then Rupp and Rahic, try to un-fuck this.

I’m not on the reincarnation of C&B. How are the gompers taking this?
I’m guessing there’s plenty of ‘well Grayson didn’t look all that so what’s the problem’ shite?

The standard response to this from the gompers to make themselves feel better about it all will be along the lines of, 'never really warmed to him', 'if he doesn't want to be here', 'plenty of managers will want the job, he's only one man' etc etc. This completely ignores the bigger picture though and that is that we had a man who knows what it takes to get out of this league, told the owners what it takes and, thus, what it would take to get him to stay and our owners were either unwilling to, or incapable of, meeting those requirements.
The lesser of those two evils is that they are incapable. We're fucked.

Managers get sacked week in week out. Here at Bradford we offer them a job and they politely decline.

Manager with pedigree of we want and who knows how to get it sets our what sort of budget is needed to achieve what is wanted and says 'come and get me. We say 'nah, no thanks'. We're going to be like the poor people you see in Asda fitting around at 10.55pm desperately seeing what they can get in the yellow sticker section. They think they'll get a steak for 27p but instead have to make do with a egg mayonnaise sandwich that looks like you eat that and you're getting diarrhoea.

Presumably on holiday. I wouldn't give this shit-tin outfit a second thought.

How can anyone not be worried by Grayson, who having been here three months seeing what the club is like, has decided to sack us off completely? We should be the perfect fit as a club for someone like Grayson, whether you like his football or not, he does have a good track record of taking teams similar to ours up to the championship. We clearly have owners unwilling to meet the level of funding he thinks, from experience, he needs to get us out of league one. The owners haven't created a situation he wants to buy into. Like others say, he'll walk into another club and no doubt be a success. I can't say i was overwhelmed by his three months and i'm not surprised he turned us down. It has been clear all is not well behind the scenes, grayson needs to get his career back on track and i get the feeling he is shrewd enough to see he isn't going to get that any time soon at Bradford City. It's really is a massive glowing endorsement of Rahic and Rupp's stewardship....

Is anybody surprised by this news? I aren’t...he was never staying because they were never going to give him a competitive budget, let alone a wage that he would accept.
I’ve made it pretty clear what I thought of his style but him choosing not to stay is recognition of the two dopey cunts in charge not changing their ways and doing the opposite of what they said they were going to do...again.
I am now waiting for the press release stating that Grayson asked for a £10m budget and £2m a year salary....we can file that in the same place as “we were in for Keiffer Moore” statement.

If you thought last summers recruitment was bad this will be absolutely fucking hilarious.
If hilarity is appointing some foreign cunt with no league 1 experience bringing in loads of dog shit players that will inevitably fail spectacularly.

That interview is damning in its entirety. He could have done the interview in one word and just said ‘tinpot’. What a mickey mouse outfit we really are.

Its a fairly damning indictment. He's professional in how he comes across but we're clearly a clusterfuck and have been tin pot for a while.

So in less than 2 years they've had 3 managers, 2 of which effectively walked out on them; not because of results or league position, but because theyre successful managers and know when something's going to utter shit and don't want to be associated with it.
McCall only stayed because he's desperate to achieve success with us and that warped him into being gullible and naive.
I wonder who would actually be interested in working with us who could deliver success with the resources available. No budget to work with, being forced to sell players and terrible facilities at VP and AB.
Fucking dream job.
