Boardroom

Davide Pellegrini has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Bradford City can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Filip Cetina: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bradford City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Jack Rudoni wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bradford City hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

The dugout

No hiding place for Giannis Gitersos

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Giannis Gitersos, and the manager let it.

In brief
