Does anyone know if Mike Flynn has been linked to the vacant Walsall post?

What odds on Stuart McCall then…

Had to happen, after he had a go at the fans on Saturday that was pretty much him begging them to sack him. Got to think it would be Michael Flynns if he wants it.

Trueman takes interim charge, which if he replicates what he did last season, play-offs could be back on.

But yeah, Flynn looks likely.

If I’m honest, I think I’d prefer someone like Paul Cook.

4 managers sacked in 5 February’s, onto your 11th temporary or permanent manager in just 4 years. What an awfully run club we are. Only Scunthorpe and Walsall have dropped further than us since Rupp bought the club who still remain in the league.

Fuck off now Rupp, sell the club for a quid if you have to.

Ryan Sparks hasn't got a single footballing decision right since being appointed CEO.

Gave McCall a new deal then sacked him a week later.

Gave Trueman & Sellars an 18 month deal and then sacked them weeks later.

Now Gave Adams a 3 year deal and sacked him before the end of of first.

Bloke hasn't got a clue what he's doing and ends up having to correct his mistakes weeks after making them.

Before appointing any manager, we need actual football people in senior positions at the club. A DoF is an absolute must because neither the CEO or owner have a clue how to run a football club.

It was inevitable, he dug himself a deeper grave every week on and off the pitch and couldn’t back it up with performances. AR27 sums the Sparks/entire club situation up brilliantly.
Can’t afford to wait for someone, Trueman’s great start last season bombed by the end. Flynn the standout candidate? I would’ve taken Cook but there’s no one screaming out as a number one choice, especially if Flynn to Walsall is already done.

Suprised Adams lasted longer than Jackett has with us - At least Bradford are in midtable.

Having said that, I could sense this might happen a few weeks ago when we played there, obvious to see that the crowd weren't behind him.

I think that would be a very good idea for Bradford. Probably one of the best moves we made under our present ownership was them admitting there wasn’t that football knowledge on the board so brought in Flitcroft and it’s worked a charm. If doing that it’s best to get DOF in first as we did then appoint the manager after so all are happy with the arrangement.

Was Derek Adams the Morecambe Manager that got them promoted and then left to become Bradford City manager? Whilst clearly Bradford are a much bigger club than Morecambe and also you'd think have a bigger potential so you can understand why he did it, but it does show that these kind of decisions can bite you in the arse. Adams will probably rock up at another League 2 side soon enough but I'm sure he regrets not carrying on the good work he was clearly doing at Morecambe.

Bradford City is a job flynny would take in a heartbeat! he absolutely loves the club and supporters, the only thing that would stop him applying is the dickhead that runs the club.

Meanwhile, we’ll have settled his remaining contract - costing us 6 figures.

I’ve seen some dross at Valley Parade in my time, but Adamsball was by far the worst. His arrogance is something else, too. He will no doubt find another club quite quickly, and he will probably do well - but both parties never really suited each other.
