Rumors around the game that Bradford need a total overhaul of players as its not a very happy camp at the moment. Im not sure Gaskell and his other non playing 1st team playing mates taking the mick rather than showing encouragement in the loss on Sunday is very helpful to team morale.

Well you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to see that. We do need to offload a lot of players who are surplus to requirements. We need to think long term rather than thrashing around signing players every 5 minutes. It doesn't build any continuity or loyalty. To some extent we're handicapped in that players that want to play in SL will only sign for a year or so but these are the kind of players you need to get promoted.

The team hasn’t looked happy in many weeks but I think that’s down to frustration at not performing on the pitch and I think that is down to us not recruiting well enough. Hopefully Smith can address that but I think 2016 is a write off.

It would have been interesting what his decision would have been if Fax did actually table an offer. One team on the way up and another on the way down, probably not the easiest choice by any means especially with the desire to play for his hometown team at some point.

It’s sad that committed long term Fax fans like yourself feel the need to come on here and stir things up with comments about how “we’re on the way down”. You’ve been around long enough to rise above that nonsense surely?

We both happen to follow clubs that have had much better days in the past. Both clubs have been the victims of useless owners on many occasions. Both clubs have had the begging buckets out. Both clubs will fail in winning promotion this year.

Why the petty point scoring?

No, you're the liar. You said "rumours around the game" when it turns out you now claim it's just something you were told by some un-named Dewsbury player, and not "rumours around the game" at all.

I would ask how he would know, unless he was hiding in a cupboard in the Bradford changing room, but I'm not actually interested.

Maybe next time you are having a chat you'd ask how come a number of players have recently been signing new deals with the club, seeing as they're all so unhappy with it?

I guess that's cover for Gaskell if true.
