What it shows is that the Club have been financially miss-managed over many decades and not just recently!

Fair enough...i was only 11 at the time and i had no memory of that Thompson story.This was known at the time and Thompson didn't want to leave but it was the slippery slope that caused others to doubt our ambition and within 18 months most of the team were gone along with Milne and Sexton after him. Even Tommy Hutchison was advised to leave.
Sky Blue Connexion was a factor also, as was not being allowed to get the sponsorship money for the name change to Coventry Talbot.
Soccer USA was a long term issue that was silently bleeding us dry.
Like Hateley via tribunal £180Kish to Portsmouth...year later sold to Milan for £1m..a large sum thenIt was around that time that I got my first season ticket and we had a fantastic squad. I was gutted to see Thompson leave, and then the break up of that squad a season later. A total mismanagement of players contracts that let all the best players contracts run out at the same time and them leave for peanuts.
Still at least we got rid of Tommy English to Leicester. I still shudder when I hear that name.
What is often forgotten in the view of Chairman Hill is that all clubs were faced with issues were killing football and all clubs were looking for external revenue.A terrific squad of young players that should have seen the club through the next 5 years, who knows what they would have achieved if they had been kept together. Shocking mismanagement of the situation, I wasn't around for the ride Hill took the club on in the 60s, so my views of him are more defined by his time in the 80s.
How long have you owned a strap on Nick?I'll be straight down to the Fisher Statue outside the Butts, putting a strap on onto his head.

so why do you always give these leeches a free passWhen I started watching the Bantams were in Division 3 (South) & The FL restructured the Leagues with the bottom half of Divisions 3 (North & South) merging and we became founder members of Division 4 but were promoted as runners-up in the first season! So I’m afraid it’s a case of ‘back to the future’!
