Personally i think that says it all. Its a shame he can't go and do one as well, when things seemed yo be on an upward curve you couldn't get rid of him and his silly grin but as soon as things got tough the money and support dried up and he stuck Stuart in the firing line to take the flak

mccall wont be going empty handed believe me, he will be getting some kind of payout, just so he can squeeze every bit of monery he can get out of city

I think Mccall dint even mention Mr Lawn because Mark has the guts tell McCall exactly what kind of manager he was which is proably Blue Square standards and that where we would have been if he not walked (at last) CTID

You got proof on the budget or is it just Mark silly grin Lawn's magical figures that he seems to pluck out of thin air. No one has released what their budget is this season as it hasn't ended and so the accounts have not been done. Its just heresay and i'd guess that they is less than 50 grande separing ours and 10 other clubs. We might have bigger gates than Bury but generate less income with bigger overheads ie the ground on top of that Bury have some local buissness man who pays Bishopa 3 grande a week wages that would account for 5 of our players alone WILLO,NEILSON,EVANS, HANSON,BATESON will not probably be paid that collectively but then again you believe all the spin Lawn makes. He has made mistakes but he has forgot more about football than you will ever know so whos the idiot

You talk garbage he will and only ever has had the best interests of City at heart. If he does take money it will probably be some of his money that he himself put into the club you ignorant moran. If he was squeeze every bit of money out of the club why did he take a pay cut which he himself offered not the board.

i agree with i person that your talking aload of rubbish to if you so intrested in figures where you getting yours from fact or your own emagination. its a known fact that mccall has had the best of everything in league 2 stadium,fans and board over his 3 year shot at managing us which should have ended last year like mccall said he would but didnt. i did like Mccall as a player but NOT as a manager

Mark Lawn is no better than a politician time will tell and time will show. I,ve seen it all before and yes i call myself a fan one who could hardly speak as i was hoarse after shouting for and supporting my team today, my team that outplayed second in the table for the second time in 2 weeks.

mccall put money into the club, get a life, and the reason he took a paycut is he was on the highest wage in league 2 and knew he wouldnt get any better anywhere else, were do you think he is going now Rangers youth team

yes but this is the 3rd season with no luck, i agree mccall wa a good player but in your heart you know he is no manager, he is getting the players and then he cannt manage them, i.e look at barry conlon, o'grady, just to mention 2

What? Are you for real, who said anything about hating him, i know he invested in the club or should i say loaned money to the club,(wonder what the interest rate is) what i'm saying is that i don't believe a word he says he is like gordon brown and david cameron all promising everything and delivering what? You blame Stu so answer why was it Lawn gave him another 2 year deal when we had achieved nothing,why did he talk Stuart out of quitting by asking the fans to more or less beg him to stay? Stuart is hung out to dry for his mistakes why can't Lawn take any criticism. Cuts both ways in my eyes he made the decision to employ him offer another contract beg him to stay mouth off about back to back promotions but in your eyes can do no wrong. WHATEVER

I'LL wager a bet he won't touch the job. He has only ever had success as a manager with money look at what happened without any Derby and Wednesday at least he got a good payout something he's not going to get at city. Nah he won't touch it i don't think i'd want it myself. We will end up with another has been and all be shouting for him to be sacked within 2 years mark my words

It's a very sad day , with ironically our most convincing performance for weeks.Our players can't score and any slight mistake at the back seems to get punished.Today's failings are not down to Stuart and on those fine margins todays sad decision has been reached.The next manager is going to have to be blessed with a huge amount of good fortune cos he's still got a moderate budget and will have less tolerence from our impatient fans. DW til end of season is an option if we don't want to break somebody's contract .

Well Shaun, I wasn't one of those 'rose tinted' ones that made him stay. However, at least I have had the decency to treat him with respect. I don't know how old you are but I do know you are immature in the extreme. You can't even refrain from being disrespectful at this moment in time when many of us relate to Stuart not only through his superb efforts as a player during his two periods as a player for us, but we also relate with Stuart because of our shared experience of sadness and loss during the VP fire. You may or may not have been at that game which might explain to some degree your childl-like postings. I offered you the chance a few weeks ago to demonstrate what you really knew about 'coaching' and you bottled it. You and the rest who come on here and criticise McCall without being able to express any knowledge or experience of coaching make me laugh because those of us that have been there and done it can spot you a million miles away. You need to do some growing up Shaun, you have finally gotten your wish and you can start calling for the next managers head in another years time if we are not top of the league.

Well Shaun, I wasn't one of those 'rose tinted' ones that made him stay. However, at least I have had the decency to treat him with respect. I don't know how old you are but I do know you are immature in the extreme. You can't even refrain from being disrespectful at this moment in time when many of us relate to Stuart not only through his superb efforts as a player during his two periods as a player for us, but we also relate with Stuart because of our shared experience of sadness and loss during the VP fire. You may or may not have been at that game which might explain to some degree your childl-like postings. I offered you the chance a few weeks ago to demonstrate what you really knew about 'coaching' and you bottled it. You and the rest who come on here and criticise McCall without being able to express any knowledge or experience of coaching make me laugh because those of us that have been there and done it can spot you a million miles away. You need to do some growing up Shaun, you have finally gotten your wish and you can start calling for the next managers head in another years time if we are not top of the league.

You blame Stu so answer why was it Lawn gave him another 2 year deal when we had achieved nothing,why did he talk Stuart out of quitting by asking the fans to more or less beg him to stay? Stuart is hung out to dry for his mistakes why can't Lawn take any criticism. Cuts both ways in my eyes he made the decision to employ him offer another contract beg him to stay mouth off about back to back promotions but in your eyes can do no wrong. WHATEVER

pick the phone and speak to lawn he isnt taking anything out of the club, if you were a fan you would know there is no money to take out

not sure who this mr kay is lol.....seriously i don't know who i'd give it to.

Are you 'Mr' Lawn in disguise or just high on the wakky baccy?

i wish i was half the man he is he`s one of the best things that happend to this club which is more that i can say about mccall becoming manager CTID

Well if his weight loss plan goes to plan why don't you share his trousers and be part of the success story?

at least theres guna be one now mcalls gone but i take it your a mccall fan so you will be surporting the team he`s going to if enyone is stupid enough to take him

Exactly so if no money to take out= no money to spend = no money for mccall to fleece us with and you say i'm no fan. I'm only saying he isn't whiter than white and inflames the situation with ludicrous comments and his own decision making isn't exactly perfect. so are you saying he isn't taking any interest on his loan

you missed the part of all the resources he wanted he was given everything he wanted and didnt do anything. he was a good player but he is no manager and if he really caired about the club he would have walked last year like he said he would

DW til end of season is an option if we don't want to break somebody's contract .

there is alot of managers out of work, sinnott, jacko,just 2 that spring to mind

A fact will prove Conlon scored more goals in less minutes on the pitch last season under McCall than under his coaches this season. So i'm wondering what does this actually prove? I suppose it means you talk sh!te

yeh and if he had the budgets that they had were would the club be, we have sensible chairmen now not like richmond. think before you comment

oh please! don't remember many complaining when we were at wembley or in the premiership. McCall has tried his best for us on the resources he has. He could have done more with more resources but he didn't. Finding someone to follow in his footsteps, care about our club and achieve miracles will be a hard find.

i cant take you serious now after using conlon and decent in the same sentence!! o'grady was un-fit when he came to city so again shows that you and lawn should stick to buisness and forget what happens on the pitch. by the way i agree that lawn was a massive help to city when it was most needed.

all i have to say to that is how many goals is conlon scoring now is it because he isnt wearing claret and amber or is it because now he dosnt have the worst manager in league 2

A fact will prove Conlon scored more goals in less minutes on the pitch last season under McCall than under his coaches this season. So i'm wondering what does this actually prove? I suppose it means you talk sh!te

but not quite as much as you

EXACTLY MY POINT. McCall gets hung for bad decisions why can't Lawn take some of the blame he employed him. Surely poor judgement on Lawns half and then to compound it all by begging him to stay as well as getting the fans to put pressure on him to stay. But alas to some he can do no wrong but i will say he is walking a very thin rope now and he may yet soon fall

For any true City fan the day Stuart McCall leaves Valley Parade is a sad one. It maybe the best thing for the club and if so lets move on, but it is still very very sad indeed. Some people may be glad to see the back of him, but surely they must wish things had been different? If not they either have personal grudges against him or are not City fans. I can't believe people no matter what they think of his coaching techniques can slate the guy, it beggers belief. Here are the reasons why I think he hasnt been succesful in order. 1) No experience to help him ie No.2 2) I think he has over complicated things, keep it simple. 3) When it has been kept simple in a 442 sqaure pegs in round holes, for example Evans on right today and Hanson on left in second half with Brandon & Nielson on bench? 4) He has not had the rub of the green 5) Are we sent poor refs to VP on purpose. I am very suspicious that on the day McCall quotes twice on the radio Julian Rhodes the chairmen (as if there is only ONE) we have a new poster on here 'Lawn for ever' slating the hell out of McCall. If McCall moves on I wish him all the very best, for people to come on slating him, Julian or Mark makes me wanna go watch Leeds & Pappa Smurf (as if)........ Lets see what Monday brings..... If it ends here is my prediction... This is based on a new replacemnt been appointed in the summer. I think 2 from the following 3 will take charge till the end of the season Windass, Dolan & Mark Ellis. I want to put my hat into the ring, I think I would still reach the play off's.

People should start to pay attention. been on about Lawn situation for some time. there are some stories around Stu's tenure i believe that have not been adequately explained, finances are one, Topp, Eastward, Rehman amongst others. I don't think Stu will tell the truth if he thinks it would damage the club because he loves city, but he obviously has great respect for Rhodes which is the most likely reason he will present his resignation to him. he knows Rhodes is a true city man who has taken risks and jeopadised his personal life for the love of the club. A short time ago i played with the idea on here that perhaps there was a split amongst Rhodes and Lawn with Rhodes perhaps siding with STu. This was only conjecture and something i throw in to discuss. perhaps though it may not be far from the truth? Been asking for the beaming red face of Lawn to speak for a while but we hear nothing. Nothing since the delph loan!! (which was a huge gamble relying on a sale of a player to finance the club). Yes we needed Lawn at the time and he was a saviour of the club but now its time he moved on or found investors who will do exactly that INVEST in the club. Or you fickle moaners wil be happy for some time to come because manager after manager wil be in the same position. I'm gutted today but can state that i am not 'lashing' out at Lawn as someone to blame. I have been probably the first on this site to question his role and sudden silence/disappearanc e some months back and untill i hear something i will continue to question this area of the club. Is Stu a fall-guy?? In many ways the answer is yes. he was swept along by his own passion and self belief but also in part by the noises from others and who knows what promises. The results did not go as we wanted obviously but Stu i believe as left us in a better position as a club than when he came. We were in free-fall. Too many managers, too high expectations. No money. Too many loans players. No transfer fee's paid. We now we are led to believe financially stable. We have players we can cal our own. Many of these players are young and can and in many cases will progress. Stu has been unlucky in many many games. Even today we had far more chances than them yet lose. Had a defo penalty on Clarke by sodje not given and in many ways it summed up Stu's tenure. I genuinely am as gutted as i have been for a long while. I still hope Julian turns down Stu's request which would be very interesting, but in my heart watching Stu wander round the pitch at the end of the game i knew he was gone. I've a funny feeling that STu will be back one day in some capacity. His love for the club his too strong. He should be given the equivalent of a Bradford knighthood and an open-top bus parade. The guy is and always will be a legend. Thank you Stuart for all the many many happy memorys.

Cheers Shaun re Ramsden. It wasn't just from watching training though it was from the JPT when we won away 2-1, think it was Rochdale. That night he was very very good. I think McCall has put too much faith in players that have let him down too often, Rehman to name 1 who I think is worse then Clarke. I also think he should have kept Evans on his toes and not started him today just because of what he did at Torquay (especially out of position). I still think it is a sad sad day. I aint saying he should go neither am I saying he should stay, I dont know what to think at the moment. I have said it before that until I see his replacement could I comment on whever he should stay or not but by then it would be too late anyhow. McCall will always remain the most famous name I can relate to at VP in my life time and just wish it could have been different. I also agree with comments above that all is not right behind the scenes, something to do with the joint chairmen not agreeing on things, who actually has the final say (not re McCall, just in general) or is it 50/50?

Thorne - too old. Boulding to small/ weak/ slow. Hanson - too raw. just watched MOD. Spurs play a lot of ball into Crough and he knocks it down for Defoe. how did we end up with Hanson in midfield and Boulding leadind the line! anyway regardless I wish you good luck Stuart.

dannbradfc, it aint hindsight I have been saying all season re Ramsden at CB. Yes Evans has spent most of his time out wide but in a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 not as an out and out winger in a 442 like today, he has spent more of his time at VP tracking back and that was not why he was employed... I think Evans has been poor since he joined us but also feel for him because he has probably only ever known playing up front in a 442 which has never really happened here.

You say Stu wasn't suited to it then state we played really well. Then you state that the defence played well!!!!!! That Rehman played well????????? Midfield was superb???????? (daley wa sone of the midfield by the way) You are correct about Boulding whose going to ground was getting on my nerves never mind the refs. Thorne's intelligience nearly rescued the game and certainly had an effect on the game despite first game for yonks. Rehman was poor. Bullock was was inconsistent and again playing too far forward for the role he is supposed to and is best at (and probably told to play). Indeed his shot early on which went high and over despite under no pressure his further proof that he is NO attacking player. hanson was only switched so Stu was been POSITIVE. hanso played in that position for Guiseley and scored plenty of goals. Stu also took Daley off. Apply for manager that way everyone can all point out your faults but perhaps you are suited to the job ???

If he has resigned why is he waiting until monday to meet the directors? what purpose is being served by waiting to Monday? were the directors at the game or not? they were so why not have a meeting on Saturday night? As ever with SM there may be another agenda. if so what is that? Is his mind so made up like last time that he could be minded to change his opinion if asked to honour his contract at least until the end of the season? Yet again the actually position is unclear despite the walk around the ground and the initial interview on radio. If he does go the last thing we need is the double act of Little and Large in the form of Jacobs and Wetherall or even Windass. Jacko would be my choice as Jewell would not be interested preferring regularly visits of less than 90 days a time at his home in a year in Celebration (not Orlando, by the way, but Kissimmees-- zip code FL 34737).

The history of football shows that very few good players return as managers to the clubs they played for and are successfull. The odds were stacked against Mccall. I find all this legend talk bazarre. He played for city in the eighties and when they failed in the playoffs to Middlesborough he was off. Apart from a spell a few years ago when he played for a side that got relegated, most off Mccalls achievments were with Everton, Rangers and Scotland. However their fans dont call him a legend. They call him an ex player. Their lies the problem with city fans. They live in a kind of fantasy land where mediocrity is regarded as success. For christ sakes when was this drooling going to end? At the first game in the blue square conference. Mccall was a good player. Those of us who had the pleasure of watching him in the eighties were the lucky ones. His dignity and respect he showed after the fire deserves the highest praise. But as a club Bradford City must move into the future and get out of this mess.

Paul64, regarding your comments on Stuart being a legend (or not), visit the following site: http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Rangers_F.C ._Hall_of_Fame I think you'll find Rangers class him as such, and he hardly turned and ran when we missed out in the play-offs to Middlesbrough, Jack Tordoff wouldn't part with a relatively small amount of money for John Salako and Andy Townsend to bolster the squad for a final push, EVERYONE knew Stuart and John Hendrie would be sold in the summer if we didn't get promotion, and that left a bitter taste with Stuart that investment wasn't forthcoming. Nothing would have made him prouder than to wear the claret & amber in the top flight, which of course he managed to do in his return. I suggest you get your facts right before spouting out that he was quick to leave. CTID

Djmoulson BD2. Jack Tordoff refused to bankroll more players in 87 for the very simple reason that the club was in financial crisis. Macall and Hendry made no secret of their desire for top flight football. The club had no option but to sell them whilst their profile was high. However what is the point of raking up events of 23 years ago. He was just a squad player at Rangers. No more, no less. Only small minded clubs live in the shadow of legends. Forward thinking clubs move on. Did Man Utd call Beckham a legend when he left? No. Live with the legend idea if it makes you feel better. I dont subscribe to it.

Paul64, I think you'll find it was you who brought up the events of 23 years ago, and is it not the desire of any sportsman to ply their trade at the highest level, nobody can fault Hendrie and McCall for that...!! I think you'll also find that even forward thinking clubs have their legends, however they are legends after time, I'm sure even Beckham will be regarded as such in time. Just spare a thought: What good is forward thinking and moving on if we can't reflect and discuss the trials, tribulations and succusses of our past? It's what makes us turn up each week to support our beloved team. CTID

Paul64....what cr*p!!! McCall was part of the "10 in a row" Rangers team and I think the 15,000 fans that travelled to VP from Glasgow for his testomonial proves what they thought of a McCall - A LEGEND

What? Are you for real, who said anything about hating him, i know he invested in the club or should i say loaned money to the club,(wonder what the interest rate is) what i'm saying is that i don't believe a word he says he is like gordon brown and david cameron all promising everything and delivering what? You blame Stu so answer why was it Lawn gave him another 2 year deal when we had achieved nothing,why did he talk Stuart out of quitting by asking the fans to more or less beg him to stay? Stuart is hung out to dry for his mistakes why can't Lawn take any criticism. Cuts both ways in my eyes he made the decision to employ him offer another contract beg him to stay mouth off about back to back promotions but in your eyes can do no wrong. WHATEVER

pick the phone and speak to lawn he isnt taking anything out of the club, if you were a fan you would know there is no money to take out

Exactly so if no money to take out= no money to spend = no money for mccall to fleece us with and you say i'm no fan. I'm only saying he isn't whiter than white and inflames the situation with ludicrous comments and his own decision making isn't exactly perfect. so are you saying he isn't taking any interest on his loan

There are no wealthy clubs in this division. Last year we wern't so skint but still came up well short and with many rivals starting with minus points. Who do we blame for that? Lawn? Don't make me laugh!! The King is dead. Long live the King! CTID not McCall till I die!! Just hope Jacobs and Wethers fall on their sword too.

Ther are two people, yourself and Lawnforever who make the most incredible statements to paint a favourable picture ofMark Lawn that make me suspect that if either of you isn't 'Mr' Lawn then you are most certainly doing his talking. Thou protesteth too much to convince otherwise.

posted elsewhere on these pages "agree with you spleen victor. However was he pushed or not. The inference is, by his seaking a compenstion package, that he was sacked yet it seems from the "exclusive report" that he "McCall decided to go after Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Bury at Valley Parade, ending a reign that began in May 2007" If he descides to walk out on a contract then the club itself could be lookimg for compensation from MCcall for breach of contract. If the club had sacked him then he would be entitled to full recompense for the remaining period of his contract. So was he sacked or did he resign? it appears to me that he resigned and is now seeking to take money out of the club which it can ill afford. commenst please

i respect mccall for leaving for the sake of the club (presuming he doesnt do another hudini and decide to stay). he is a legend AS A PLAYER. if mccall has made his decision to leave then let him do it. Do you know what i have noticed, Mccall as a manager has divided the fans (obviously not his fault) the fans are divided. whats the point in this forum all most of you do "shaun from richmand" "macca 1969" etc etc is slag each other off. theres nothing wrong with challenging opinions but none of you back it up with any facts. you all claim to be proper fans, but ask yourself this question do proper fans slag each other off left right and center
