THIS week's Parker on Parade was a tale of hello and farewell.
It wouldn't be entirely unfair to attach the tag of "bad omen" to reporter Bradley Deas, whose return to the screen this week follows the shock departure of Bantams manager David Hopkin on Monday.
Simon discusses the implications of the Scot's resignation, while also reflecting on his time at Valley Parade.
Is there enough time for a new man to come in and make an impact?
It's then onto discussing who might be coming in and the rumour mill is already raging.
From Parkie to Evans, Simon contemplates what the incoming manager will have to deal with and highlights the players at City are still a talented bunch.
We then move on to this weekend's all important tie with out-of-form Portsmouth.
Could it be smiles galore on a long journey back from the south coast come Saturday evening?
