'It all went downhill when Jewell left'
5:54pm Monday 12th May 2008
Comments (90)The Wetherall Years: Everybody blames the "six weeks of madness" as the reason why it all went wrong for us in the Premiership.
But by far and away the biggest mistake the club made was losing Paul Jewell. For me, that was the beginning of the end for us in the top division.
You don't realise how good something is until it's no longer there and that was definitely the case with Paul.
I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news.
I'd just got back from holiday and there was a message on the answerphone from Paul saying that he was off. I couldn't believe it after what we had achieved but, with what had gone on, he was right to go.
Unfortunately his exit really set us back. No disrespect to anybody else who took over but he was such a massive part of that first season.
Seeing what followed during the summer, I'm sure the signings would have been very different if he had still been in charge.
And as has been widely said, we've been paying the price ever since in more ways than one.

Just Listen to this. I agree FULLY. Why did he leave - The Chairman. On that line things have got no better and there is onlt one way from now, the oposite to Up.
not even going to get into a debate of how wrong you are.
Rung up Dave Baldwin yet? thought not. why would you want to speak to the new regime when you've already made up your mind and don't want the facts to get in the way.

Its in the best interest of getting the supporters to support the club. I believe they call it business. What is a 'good football move' other than a sissors kick into the top corner. Sensible! can we have facts, figures, examples or useful suggestions from you?

Which other team can clame to have their best ever player/captain, most consistent ever and long serving left back, a player in Weathers that captained them through the dark days and two chairman who quite clearly love the club preparing the club for matters on the pitch?
Answers on a postage stamp please?
The list of players that are signing for this club is filling me with excitement for the coming season. If anyone finds any odds so soon on city's chances of promotion next year please let me know..
Think everyone will have gathered by now that sensible and his crew have not made the Phone call to Dave Baldwin as he kindly offered them chance to do. For anyone that carried any credibility for these tit$, you surely can no longer.

Must agree about Jewell but would also like to comment it is on its way up now under McCall and the current board.

well put, no wage and STILL going to scrape the money together to support the Mighty Bantams.
Maybe someone like this should be given a FREE ticket for their undoubted loyalty to the Claret and Amber - Ginger Army.
