Bradford survive

Thursday 26th April.

Some rare words from Barry today saying that he believes that the players can achieve survival this season and that steps are being taken both now and in the future to avoid a repeat of the financial problems we have encountered this season. Presumably this means that there will be a few casualties amongst the higher wage earners when the retained list is announced and that a wage ceiling will be re-introduced. It is to be hoped that Mr Rubery has learnt his lesson and that ‘big name’ managers don’t always achieve the best results. With Sellars and Monkou having now departed the club my money is on Gorré, Gallen and Beresford being released and possibly Kenny Irons and Chris Hay as well although I’m not sure what the contract situation is for these players.

QPR who have just been relegated have massive debts said to be around £20 million and let’s face it we are not a big club so we must not throw money around like it’s going out of fashion. The fans always want to see committed and hungry players pulling on the blue and white of Town and I’m sure there are a number of these who don’t have to command ridiculous premier league salaries.
