| Jimmys too stubborn to resign. I think he truly believes we're doing the right thing and we're heading in the right direction. He thinks we'll turn the form on like a tap and there's nothing to worry about now.
Only way we'll be rid of Lowes is If we sack him which I cant see.

| Re Peter Hood Think its the imbecile who inhabits the T&A asylum. He was sure Brierley and Widdop were signed for Leeds.

| If Peter Hood turns out to be wrong (again) then I want him banned. It's cruel to get my hopes up like this and then be let down

| Agree with Mania... He is far too proud to resign! Won't happen in a million years.
Peter Hood is talking BS!

Oh I think he'd offer his resignation as a bluff, a whole back me or sack me deal. Trouble is, I don't think Mr Green would do anything but accept as he doesn't strike me as the sort of bloke who takes kindly to an employee trying to get him over a barrel

| Now Mr Gledhill is saying that he's heard Lowes offered his resignation but it wasn't accepted.
Still waiting to hear from a credible source though.
Edit: He's since deleted his tweet.

| If he has offered his resignation he should now have a missing hand and teeth marks on his wrist.

| If Gledhill is saying he's resigned then there's a good chance he's signed a new 15 year deal

Don't panic don't panic he's got an investor it's going to be alright.
It's true Mick Gledhill has seen the investor's bank book.

| Supporters can't sack a coach but they can get him sacked. They simply stop attending games until the owner works out how much they are losing. The problem is we don't have a decent assistant who can take charge till a new coach comes available. If Jimmy went now and we go on a bad run of games - worse than we are on now, it could write off this season.
I will get it in first - I wouldn't want Smith in for a short time. It usually doesn't work in my eyes.
Another problem is - and this follows on from FA's excellent post, some of our top players are looking poor and they are in their final year. It is a worry. If we leave them in a mess right now with an unwanted stand in coach they could be queuing up at the phone to ring their agents.
This next few month has to be handled well to stop the club spiralling into a deeper mess. I feel the optimism that came with Mr Green is eroding and if not handled well it could completely go and where will that leave us if supporters walk away.

Good point woolly. Would you sign to stay at Bradford under Lowes at this moment in time if your deal was up at the end of the season?
Unless Lowes works some magic soon I can see players losing faith and looking elsewhere. If we turn it around and look like we have a chance of going up or even just get back to playing with a few smiles that will help.
The players look pi55ed off at the moment. You can see the frustration on their faces with each forward pass or ball thrown into touch.

| I'm still happy with Green. I think he is doing a cracking job running us day to day. Weve really made some progress in terms of stability it seems. And for that I am happy. Sometimes it takes a number of successive coaches to get things right and I think it's going to be the case with us. I think Lowes was a good appointment by Green and he has done what is needed whilst we steadied the ship. He isn't the guy to take us forward imo though and we need to be looking at somebody else I think. Noble or Potter would be my call from the experienced coaches available. I would even like to see Cummins have another go, I don't think he was to bad given the circumstances he found himself in. However, it seemed he fell with the playing staff but I don't know if that was true or not. Also I wouldn't mind Richard Marshall, his Fax side always seem well motivated and tough. Think Green probably needs a CEO to turn to to help run the club though because he isn't a rugby man, however he may feel he has the team in place and the experience needed now to take it on himself.
Defo not losing faith with Green.
