Yes I agree Gary Jones was poor when with us. However, thaz got to bear in mind that he was a young player back then moving up 2 divisions. I was referring to the time later on in his career when he captained Bradford to promotion and the League Cup Final. He was awesome and a great leader for Bradford over that period.

Also you have to appreciate which division we currently occupy and our finances. As much as I would welcome your suggested players with open arms, there's not a prayer we could afford either Matty James or Hourihanes demands for wages, nor would they want to laik in the 3rd division. The alternative and realistic option is somebody who is more akin to the players I mentioned in my previous post. I'm sure our new head coach may have a few suggestions having managed in these leagues.
