Understand players found out yesterday and were in for training today! Cut short some holidays! He might look to bring over a couple of players, one if which is centre half/captain?

Anyway rumour aside its great to have a boss who knows what he is doing at this level. He's brought a full team with him as well - great.

Now get that embargo lifted...

Captain is 27-year-old Scouse right-back Stephen Darby, who's barely missed a game in the last four seasons; he's got a year left on his contract. LFC academy graduate, he's now played 312 games and scored 1 goal

By the way, I hope we have a better start than Bradford did last season: plated 4-1 at Swindon, beaten by York in the cup, drew at home with Shrewsbury, lost at home to Gillingham, drew 0-0 at Barnsley. It did get better... they got 28 points from the last 36 available...

We'd hardly notice that as a problem. We drew with Derby, lost to Burton, got plated by Boro, lost to newly promoted MK Dons, drew against Forest and Blackburn....so not dissimilar.

Don't be surprised if we end up signing a guy called Kyel Reid. Parky signed him at both Charlton and Bradford, and he even signed him for a third time when he brought him back on loan from Preston where he's just been released.

He's a winger as well, and we have none. Can't see him tolerating Passenger Walker for long, if at all.

Got a good dignified way about him. I thought Lennon was a good appointment though....

Agree so far with everything he says but as above it means little until we see it put into action and see how it pans out.

I hope he's right about the embargo because I agree with his assessment that we are a fair few players short as things stand.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Kyel Reid also seems to be out of contract. Boom!

We appear to have brought the sports science/fitness coach Nick Allenby along too, who seems to be very highly rated in his field.

Absolutely, very dignified - but also there's an assured calmness about him that I like, he believes in discipline & hard work on the pitch and giving 100% from start to finish, the running through a brick wall mentality.

I believe that he'll do well here and is well suited, I think the fans will like him - but we need to give him time to implement his management style on a team that's been used to a 'holiday camp' leaderless regime for many years.

Also well done Mr Anderson & Deano....PP spoke well about KA, IMO its refreshing to have owners & a board who at least appear to know a thing or two about football....and who don't give in to the needy, need to know everything, juvenile & pathetic 'LOV / twitter' type BWFC fans

Good. By the fck we've lacked proper fitness since we gave the reins to that Coyle character. Never been recaptured either.

[StaffsTrotter]

not going to pretend I know much about the guy - seems well respected from his time as a player and manager- as with every other supporter just hoping that it works out with us

And their goalkeeping coach.

The acid test will be them lifitimg the embargo. If they do that then full systems ahead.

Hope they can.

[bobo the clown]

Talking of dignified ... fair play to Bradford City's statements.

A couple of interesting observations from a Bradford journalist in this BN article

We should expect 4-4-2 and clean sheets.

ahh - a new test! I thought their last chance passed a couple of weeks ago??

[Enoch]

He made good time on that walk from Bradford to Middlebrook.

Charming man, wish him well.

Local boy comes good?

TBF We rarely need owt else other that goals to turn some of the nil-nils into three points. Every other game should suffice.
