Hopkin resigns at Bradford City

Shame really I think in time he would have done a good job, unfortunately he inherited several average players (I'm reliably informed).

Did it all start with the cheap season tickets ?
All well and good having good attendances but when there's no cash flow......big problems.
Unless you have owners with very deep pockets.

Talking to a fella last week who has a season ticket, said it cost him £2500 and lasts 25 years.
He also as one down the Turf

All went wrong when they sold to the two German blokes.

I hope they go down. Weeds, Barstewards and Bfd Sh1tty: the teams I hate.

I think it might’ve started earlier than that; round about the time Geoffrey Richmond was in charge.
Let’s face it, Bradford City have never truly recovered from that disastrous second season in the Premiership.

That's what always happens when you start throwing away money that you don't really have. Much prefer the Dyche approach. Identify your core players, and only spend money when you have to. And whatever happened to Bernie Carbone?

Carbone? Aren’t Bradford still paying him?

Yes, I believe so. Hence their current problems. Blame it all on Stuart McCall.
