Bradford City Vacancy
 

Here we go again. Peter Tayor parts company with Bradford.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Funny how managers can appear to be top of tree then next it all comes falling down.

Peter Taylor England u21 manager, temp in charge of the full team and made Beckham captain I seem to remember.
Shorty after I watched his Stevenage team play at Farsley Celtic and they really did not want to be there, nor did he from his mannerism. Wycombe promoted then left in a relegation battle.
Laterly at the "Biggest Club" in Div 2 and still struggling, It makes you wonder how Coley would go on if he moved.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

I pray to god that Coley & Jimmy don't go, but the way things have been, no Stanley fan would blame them if they did go somewhere sooner or later.

Up to the club now to get things sorted off the pitch and give them the base to build on that they should have had 3 or 4 years ago. :eek:

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

would doubt very much if they would be offered the job.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

why cashman?

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Bradford seem to go fer "Names" that can attract. not knockin coley, but no higher league experiance.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

I was not advocating Coley took or indeed be offered the Bradford job, just wondering if Accrington and him are a perfect fit and would he be as successful elsewhere. After all Taytor must have had something about him to have managed any England side, yet appeared to be less successful at lesser club's

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

I was wondering when this would come round again.............. :(

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

i think they fit very well, accy certainly would find it very hard,to get a more successful manager, n as clint eastwood used to say- Know yer limitations.;)

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

John Coleman is quoted at 14/1 on a thread on the Bradford messageboard. There are 15 names above him with shorter odds though.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Well he's safe at Stanley then, bookies never get things wrong, do they;)

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Alan Knill 3rd favourite :confused:

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Bradford could not afford to pay off his and Jimmy's contract! SIMPLES

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

True, but only if Bradford approach the club to seek permission. What if John & Jimmy decide they have had enough and walk out, would guess Bradford won't have to pay a bean

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

have a very good contact @bratrord and will speak to them in morn as to any ideas but personally i doubt any movement from the colemeister

Stanley allow Bradford to talk to Coley
 

They best not be...

Re: Stanley allow Bradford to talk to Coley
 

I would think that it will be written in his NEW SIGHED contract that hes told of any intrest any other club have for his services Rob,plus a compensation package whould have to be agreed because hes got a signed contract with stanley IMHO.Having said that why dont you go away and leave our Coley alone:tongueout

Re: Stanley allow Bradford to talk to Coley
 

Yea, urinate off Bradford.

Re: Stanley allow Bradford to talk to Coley
 

There is at least one known admirer of Coley in the Bradford boardroom, and having gone down the ex-player route and the big-name route with no success, they might see our man as the one to drag them out of the (plainly ridiculous) mire they've been in for a while.

Nige B is the man with an inside track here - any news Nige?

Re: Stanley allow Bradford to talk to Coley
 

I honestly dont know what we will do IF they go.

Nobody could deny them the challenge of Bradford City though.

:(

Re: Stanley allow Bradford to talk to Coley
 

££££££££££££££££ Will always talk at a time like this and let's face it, we ain't got any......

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Merged 2 threads - dont start another till its a different topic & please dont use language - even in links, thanks !

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

One can only imagine what is going through Coley's head

Trying to prepare a team for today's game while the Google Page Ranking gaffes and off field antics continue to overshadow what should be an exciting time given results and what is at stake.

Reassurances must be given and fast but even that may not be enough anymore?

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

more concerned wi 3 pts today, meself, cross this bridge if owt develops.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Spopt on Cashy - let's face it, we're used to crossing bridges one at a time at Stanley :rolleyes:

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

MACCA!!!!!!! GGGGRRR :mad: make moderating hard lol

can you or someone put the proper link up not the sweary one its not working now & i aint got all day correcting it!

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

This one?
Bradford City make approach for Accrington Stanley boss (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Yeh that's the one thanks mike :)

Re: Stanley allow Bradford to talk to Coley
 

hi phil not been able to get hold of dave so far so will try again later think he's prob a bit cut up over dean richards and all of the match day duties. will keep you posted

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

He would have to be interested if he were to offered the post. Just look at the potential at Valley Parade. Their gate today was 10 times that at the Crown. 15,000 for a league 2 game.

At this level, Bradford City are a club that few managers would turn down

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

oh i agree Larry, but my opinion is he won't be offered the job.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Bigger club yeah, but bigger pressure too. He could stay at Stanley for another ten years, if it doesn't go well from the off at Bradford, he would be lucky to last ten months

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Think they would be very interested in the post but doubt they would seriously be considered. i do feel they would take a few key players with them if they were given the opportunity though.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

have from an ultra reliable source that bratford have appointed a temp manager and will then look to interview for a long term replacement......think coley may be staying

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Sounds good to me nige.;)

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

me too cashy don't think it would be a good move for him or them really they looking well over their shoulders and dare i say it us looking at the play offs (can't believe i said that)

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Think John Coleman is too dedicated to Accrington Stanley , I know we have problems but if John was so sick he would have gone before now. But this is only my own opinion. Yesterday I was assured that the auction will not take place as our problem was as good as sorted when the Observer went to press.Shame it got to that.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Theres no doubt bradford is probably the most pretegious job in this league with the size of the club, fan base etc... but i seriously doubt they will be willing to pay off their recent 5 year contracts when, yeah granted there top proven lower league managers, but we arent exactly blowing this league away this season so its not a given that success will just happen, they will need time just like we have given them, however they dont seem as likely to do that

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Confirmation on Bradford's temporary manager:

Jackson given Bradford City job for now (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

well let's hope that he does well for them and gets the job permanently!

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

It looks like their fans have given a mixed reaction.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Hopefully Bradford win every game from now till the end of the season, except when we play them at the Crown!

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

According to their chairman today, There have been 40 to 50 applicants including three names which keep propping up before coleman. Phil Parkinson, Dean Windass and interim manager Peter Jackson. You would like to think that those candidates surpass our genius.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Thts one game I would think you don't want Stanley to win smudgie:rolleyes:

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Interesting,................................

BBC Sport - Football - Accrington boss John Coleman eyed Bradford City role

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

he doesn't say anything there that you would think indicates he is ready for the off - although you could possibly read into it that he was annoyed that we would have wanted a lot of compensation.

All in all, we have to expect that Coley will leave one day and it will have to be to a bigger club with a lot more potential than what we have here.

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

that leave about 90 clubs i reckon.:D

Re: Bradford City Vacancy
 

Would he be annoyed if he got sacked tomorrow and the club don't pay him up ?:D
