Parkinson - “But sometimes you’ve just got to make a call and Jon understands that.” If he's joining a team like Chesterfield or Vale, I'd argue it's not a better move. Just like Roberts thought moving down a league was the right move. |

But we'll let galpharm2400 have a guess  . |

i didnt guess..
stead moves for a better offer..
what that offer is and who has made it, is what you are guessing at..
i never mentioned money or 'imagined' size of clubs making that offer.. I havent guessed wether its more/less money, longer terms or better terms..
im not guessing why he is leaving or why parkinson thought it neccessary to make a statement about it..
if he leaves he got for himself and his own personal reasons a better move..
its easier to see reasons as to why players go to chelsea/real madrid etc, its a pure guess for lower league players, especially slightly older ones... some would guess at purely money, they may be right in some cases.. who knows..?
Id like to think stead raised a bit more interest than the clubs you mentioned but im not having a guess..

No - 'sums' are the totals of addition calculations only. Maths is a more general term which covers all branches of the subject including calculations such as subtraction (the answer to which would be 'difference'), multiplication ('product') and division ('quotient'). Then there's geometry, measures, shape, and so on. And before anyone gets onto me about being a pedant, let me say that I am, having been a teacher whose main responsibility was maths and who felt right royally hacked off when every feckin' government pushed this bloody 'Numeracy Strategy' in junior/primary schools; 'numeracy' per se relates only to NUMBERS, so we're we not supposed to teach 'shape', right? Wrong! Bloody government education ministers - they're all a bunch of know-nowt tw@s. Mel - you're excused. |

You don't know what we offered Stead, you don't know who else or what they have offered Stead - yet you claim Stead has had a better offer elsewhere. Like it or not, you are guessing. |

Wouldn't be surprised to see Stead back at town in some capacity in the future, maybe on the coaching staff. The lads clearly got too much talent to be playing in front of 25 chickens and their 14,000 imaginery friends.

cant educate pork..
if stead leaves he has had a better offer elsewhere..money/length of contract/personal terms/personal gurantees about his future etc etc..he also might loathe parkinson or some of the other players or the management, ie; it might be personal/family reasons..
better offer is in the mind of the person accepting it..not mine and certainly not yours.. you may well sell your soul for a few hundred quid a week more, thats your choice, thats your 'better offer'...some choose to sit on the bench and see out contracts, thats their choice.. better offer often isnt about actually playing or sometimes about the actual wages..

They seem pretty good on working out the sums of their new salaries MT. Austerity for all or for none!

"If Stead leaves"... He's not our player so he's not leaving us. See Stead's quotes below and maybe you'll admit you were wrong to assume he's had better offers and you may accept we made the decision, hinted by Parkinson too. "It's good on both sides. They are telling me that they want to sort something out and I've always made it quite clear that I want to be here next season. "I can't see there being any issues. If there are, and things happen and the club decide it's not the way they want to go, then I'll have to look elsewhere. "But I'm not expecting that. I'd be surprised and disappointed if it ends like that – but I really don't think it will." |

It has boiled down to spending what little budget they have elsewhere. |

Well done Bradford. It's a bit sad that so many posters have attempted to undermine it. I agree and I find their marketing campaign interesting. They seem to be appealing to the West Yorkshire public rather than just Bradford itself. Long standing fans of other Clubs are long standing fans and they of course will not swap allegiance. What about those though that don't really have a local Club or perhaps associate themselves with a Premier League Club such as say Chelsea because they win and think they may give local football a try based on the no-brainer financial lay-out. For the first time ever, some Parents for financial reasons will be able to look forward to having season tickets for the whole family, never previously enjoyed because quite simply the money needed to be spent elsewhere based on usual season ticket costs. As a short term strategy, I am not sure if the finances stack-up in terms of making money. However, as a longer term strategy looking at the bigger picture, the Club I think will be securing some new support, new support that will also come from areas such as Brighouse, support that could have ended up following another West Yorkshire Club. By the way, I am not saying Town should or shouldn't do the same, just purely my views on what Bradford City are doing. Ultimately the long term benefits of the cheap season ticket policy should be what the club benefits from the most. Unfortunately there's a vocal minority of City fans who are too shortsighted to see it and, like so many spoiled children, demand that season ticket prices rise to fund a drive to the Championship. In the shorter term, however, it's a grand time to be a City fan. Football is cheap, whole families can afford to go together, kids are becoming the City fans of the future and the atmosphere is as good as it's been I've been going (thirty years or so). I wish all football clubs could be run this way, as many fans as possible could afford to go and see their local clubs and the old generational bequeathing of allegiance proper could begin again. The other, less tangible benefit of the way we are run is that the budget is our income (excluding budgeting for a little extra from the cups). This gives it a feeling of a kind of footballing co-operative. We all chip in and see how far we can go. We're not basking in the glory of a sugar daddy; claiming credit for the size of his wallet. We're not playing a brand of football that has moved inexorably beyond our means. Without wanting to sound too flowery it feels almost like we've been given our club back. Back from administrators, back from being TV money-dependent and back from opportunistic carpet-baggers who see fans revenue source rather than life-blood. If the price for this is League One rather than Championship football then I'm more than happy to pay it. I don't care how many season tickets we've sold vs other teams. I don't care who is 'bigger' and who is 'smaller'. I don't care who has the prouder history. All I know is I've really enjoyed it and now so are my kids. |

Anyone from any club who comes on here with humour and humility is welcome as far as I'm concerned .. I just find it plain weird.. I'd as soon a stick an Annie Lennox CD on as go and spend time on Bradford city's internet board.. I've asked you why, you can't answer.. that's fine .. I'll remain mildly perplexed though not upset .. |

Yes, but our chairman funds us enough to be in the championship. I'd rather that, then make it cheaper and have us stuck in league 1. Ultimately kids get tired of seeing a standard lower than what they see on tv, so the better quality football brings children in and keeps them in. We had 11 years in the lower leagues and it was dreadful to have to put up with season after season after season. So glad we ditched the cheap season tickets, otherwise we'd have been stuck there. Some people on here have very short memories and won't acknowledge how crap it was because it doesn't fit in with their agenda of slagging off their own club at every given opportunity. I'd have liked to have had your cup runs, but they soon get forgotten about. Playing teams like Wolves, Derby and Wednesday don't go away until we end up back in league 1, which I hope doesn't happen again for a very long time. Things are pretty good with us and they'd be even better if some of our "supporters" actually supported us. |

I had more of the Chelsea/Man City types in mind. Hoyle seems to run a pretty tight ship but even then he's millions in the hole. When a man as rich as Dean Hoyle is needed to sustain second tier football then there's something rotten in the state of Denmark. |

Marr, we won't forget our two recent cup runs. Both were amazing and will live long in the memory. I think they are more memorable than your games with Birmingham etc who bring 1,500 fans which has lost its edge already going off fans on here. In L1 all you wanted was championship football. But no manager you have had is deemed good enough, Hoyle doesn't spend enough and fans on here have admitted that the last couple of seasons have bored them to death.
You seem to forget we are progressing every year too. We might not go up this season or next but you're talking like we've stood still when we are improving every season. We have a good chance of going up this year.

Finished 7th last season Weaker league this season Kept manager and core of our side Still got signings to come Finished higher every season for last 4/5 years Got big crowds for next season which may help us if we start well |

One question though, quantify the comment around 'supporters'. Would you attend if you didnt enjoy it whatsoever in the name of support or would you not bother?. I went when we were in league 1 and I didn't really enjoy it, except at times. I've enjoyed the last 3 seasons more than the previous 11. Its great being in the championship. Its a good standard of football and Bilo is talking nonsense and is just going off what a minority say. I think most would agree the last 3 years have been pretty good. I can take losing alot more to teams like Wolves, than Walsall and I far more enjoy beating Forest to Rochdale. I'm only talking about a minority, who pick holes in everything and don't really give a true reflection of the last few years, even the last couple of seasons in lge 1 were quite enjoyable, thanks to the chairman but prior to that under Ritchie and Ternent when we were about the same standard as Bradford, it was crap. I'm much happier paying proper prices and getting a higher quality of football. Dean has funded our place in the championship, but I like to think we deserve to be here anyway. After regularly getting average attendances of 12\13\14000, I think we have got to where the club belongs, instead of all the gate receipts going into Ken Davys pocket or wherever it went, whilst clubs like Peterborough and Scunthorpe managed to get to this standard, leaving us behind. |

We may not win as often, but the past 3 years have been hugely better than being in League 1.

On what basis do Bradford have a good chance of promotion ? Season ticket sales ? Think you could be building up for a tremendous disappointment. Finished 7th last season Weaker league this season Kept manager and core of our side Still got signings to come Finished higher every season for last 4/5 years Got big crowds for next season which may help us if we start well Like I say building up for tremendous disappointment. Millwall, Wigan and Sheff Utd will be strong at that level. Expect Posh to be play off side. even likes of scunny and Bury talking big seasons. Will not be an easy season. Lots will have bigger war chest than the meagre one Bantams have to operate with. |
