T&A Chief Sports Writer Simon Parker has returned from holiday and is straight back into action, as City finally put a name in the hot seat.

Former Bantams U18s coach Michael Collins has been entrusted to step up to the role of City's new head coach, ably assisted by Greg Abbott and Martin Drury.

We discuss why Collins has been given the job and the reasons behind why it took six long weeks to appoint him, given that he was at the club the whole time.

Popular Chief Operating Officer James Mason has resigned from his role at City, and we analyse the loss of this important link between the fans and the club.

Also, with his departure coming just one day before the Collins announcement, was the timing a major surprise?
