Bradford City Vacancy

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

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.

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.

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

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

smudgie · 24-02-2011, 16:31

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

cashman · 24-02-2011, 16:31

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.

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

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

Alan Knill 3rd favourite

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

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
