A foreign manager wouldn't know the players or he league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see that he has done anything yet that will guarantee him getting another one. This ? grass isn’t always greener. He has achieved nothing yet so not worried either way. Would ideally want him to stay and build something, which we haven’t done with any manager in a long time, time will tell. Was speaking with a Bradford fan after the game who was saying their owners massively reduced their budget and wanting players to sign on performance based contracts which obviously ended in them signing no one pissing off a lot of their fans.

Near on everyone said the same about Lee Johnson yet he has managed to survive and kick on after life at Oldham Athletic, Wellens will do just fine with or without OAFC.

How many game did Johnson manage us for? 70, 80? Just checked - over 100. Wellens needs to get his head down.

In a lot of cases that is what happens. If we put a bid in early January, the selling club hangs on for a better offer. The same goes for some loans.

Not a happy camper at the moment... Pretty stupid thing to say that. Considering that those who will beat a manager with any stick they can will be using it to claim he once tried to engineer a move to Bradford. Which is utter bollocks. Have a listen to his presser for the Blackburn game. He's as bemused with the "link" as anyone. Honestly...I've heard some horse-shit rumours before, but this Wellens to Bradford one takes the piss. You couldn't make it up....yet, someone did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
