Johnson one of 13 axed by City
6:00pm Tuesday 29th April 2008
Comments (164) Have your say »
Eddie Johnson was the big-name casualty this afternoon as Stuart McCall swung the axe through his City squad.
High-earner Johnson, pictured, was among 13 players to be released by McCall, along with the likes of Darren Williams, Paul Evans, Tom Penford and Alex Rhodes.
Barry Conlon and Kyle Nix are the only senior players coming out of contract to be offered new ones. There are also deals on the table for Luke Medley, Luke O'Brien and Sean Taylforth.
Johnson played 71 times since joining City two years ago, scoring eight goals. But having arrived as a striker, he has appeared most of this season in central midfield.
Right back Williams has made 31 appearances and midfielder Evans 28 in his second spell at the club.
Craig Bentham and Scott Phelan are both out the door as well as all three contracted keepers - Donovan Ricketts, Ben Saynor and Jamie Waite - and youngsters David Brown, Luke Morgan and Damian Hopkins.

Regarding the contracts offered for me Nix has definitely earned a contract,& also well done to "Big Bazza" he has improved no end from the start of the season.
Roll on the close season signings Tommo etc.
Onwards & Surely Upwards next season !!

However i think that it was stated he would only be bringing 5 players in.
he is going to need 2 keepers so i think we will need a few more than that to replace those not given contracts.
It will be an interesting close season to see who arrives. how many will be loan signings I wonder ?

Defo need a left back, another centre mid and another striker.
Naturally, we need a left winger too as we don't have one if Nix gets injured...

Conlon is probably worth keeping as Thorne will need the odd rest.
A deciding factor is the money these players are on, which probably went against Johnson, and in Conlon's favour.

As for the rest, i've got no arguments. Barry is exactly what we need at times in this division. One question, does Colbeck already have a deal in the bag?

He isn't good enough as a striker and can't cut it in midfield. Why keep a player like that?? At least Bazza can hold the ball up and play in his strike partner. A good pre-season for him and some extra shooting practice could see him become a key player for us next season.
conlan has not yet agreed to stay has he?
he has an offer-- does not mean he is staying: he may just move on.
I agree with Nix's deal too. He has deserved his contract offer. As for Colbeck,
he has another year to go on his contract and is one of the lucky few not to be involved in the scramble for new deals come the end of the season
Personally, I don't think we will be looking for a left back as we have Heckingbottom and he has offered a new deal to Luke O'Brien. I see he has also offered new deals to Taylforth and Medley and as we have Daley, I believe McCall thinks we have left wing covered too. Besides, if Thomson is coming, does McCall believe he can play left wing with Colbeck on the right?
I am interested in who he is looking for in midfield. Once again we have a clean piece of paper for this area of the park and only Bullock & Nix can currently play their football there (Nix being another player who can cover left wing too). I believe we need at least 2 central midfielders to vie for a position alongside Bullock. We need 2 decent keepers too and a couple of strikers. We also need a couple of right backs and a central defender. My guess is McCall will be looking to sign 8 players in total.
I will be keeping my fingers crossed that Hull get promoted. We would certainly need Nathan Doyle more than they would. Personally, I can't see the attraction in bringing back Starosta. He was disappointing and couldn't even make the right back position his own when Williams was struggling for form. Same goes for Moncur. I would like to see Nicky Law back on a season long loan though if available.

LESTER-- unless he has benn released by Chesterfield why should he upsticks from his home in that area just now--- scoring goals at a club he likes and still living in his home area.
there will be thousands of players desperate for contracts so let's see what our very limited budget can bring in.

So Shaun thinks Stuart is 'completely clueless' does he? I think that all regular readers of Shauns usually tedious comments will know exactly who the completely clueless one is.

no sign that they are improving his contract so maybe City would be quite happy to let him go if a half decent offer came in--maybe DARLO will get promotion and decide to spend a bit more cash!!
what would the reaction be if, say, we got £100K for him?

so there was no offer of reduced wages or a pay and play offer--SM just did not want him or ML would not agree anything regarding Johnson.

McCall has had some stick this season, but his decision regarding released players is excellent. Johnson (and Penford for that matter) simply didn't do enough for me. If we are going to go for it next season, these are the positions we must improve and there are far better midfielders out there than those two.
I am a little disappointed we didn't offer new deals to the young lads though, even if they were only one year extensions.

The incident which has actually made me contact Bradford City, to which I may I have had no reply at all, so I am really incences to make a national newspaper investigate the goings on at Valley Parade and shame the club or maybe, just maybe, I will make an official complaint to the police against the club as their lack of a response and constant defending of the stewards is so obvious they approve of such behaviour. So what I saw was damned right too far in my own opinion, I do not care what City class supporters as, young, old, male, female, black or white, at the end of the day, we are CUSTOMERS, and all we want after a week at work, or in some cases, school, is to get out and enjoy ourselves, yet the stewards are doing all they can to spoil people's experience at Valley Parade. Towards the end of the match, it was so obvious that a lot of people, mainly kids, would run onto the pitch in their masses, so what did the stewards do, just stand there leaving gaps knowing they would be be futile in trying, YET the area supervisor in front of the kop, the one that wears the blue jacket, middle aged with dark short hair took it upon himself to assault little kids running on the pitch, I saw him deliberately target small children by kicking hard at their ankles, some he missed, but he lashed out about half a dozen times, one small boy aged about 5 falling to his knees. If I hear one complaint to the police, I will definitely contact them as a witness to back them up as this was blatant deliberate physical assault on minors, it would have been interesting to see if he actually tried it with an adult. I do not want to see it in any form on adults in society, let alone an adult to young children. I still am in 2 minds to report it to the police and the person sat next to me also witnessed it. I have seen similar before at Valley Parade, but contact has not been made and personally, I have had enough of the treatment I receive and I constantly see. I would love to hear any thoughts on this as the club are not interested one little bit, in the past not listened to many fans, or in the present, be it City or the Bulls supporters comments several seasons ago when they spent 2 years at Valley Parade. I just have never had this or witnessed this at any other ground, be it in none league, international, football or Rugby League or Union.
This is one MORE supporter never stepping foot into Colditz in Bradford. I am taking my money elsewhere, I just need to decide where, but one thing is for certain, it certainly will not be Valley Parade, Elland Rd or Galpharm.
I wonder if I will get a reply from the club before I do make either the police or a national newspaper aware of the goings on which the club are fully aware of and are not prepared to do anything.
GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
