Before Bradford and fans with an anti-Wakey bias form a view just ask yourself a question, have any of the previous owners of Bradford had a prior track record of financially turning around a failing club? Maybe Breteton is the first.

I wish him well. Obviously I don't know the details but I get the impression Odsal was a financial noose around the neck of previous owners, being free of that could be a game changer.

It's nowt to do with where he's come from. It's to do with the hope that the revolving door of owners and off-season drama that we Bradford fans have had to go through for the last 10 years or so was all over and done with and it seems we're just back to starting the merry-go-round all over again.

Any new owner coming into Bradford is going to be met with cynicism because we have heard it before again and again.

It's certainly not anything to do with him being at Wakey. I dont care where people have been before in that sense. He could come from the moon as far as I'm concerned.

But like my fellow fan said above we're now so jaded by the relentless turmoil we'll just have to assume the worst. Easier on the heartstrings that way frankly.

They diverged in later years but I have never heard Carter say a bad word about Chris Brereton. There is a time and a place for men like Chris and perhaps that time had passed at Wakefield, it doesn't look like it has at Bradford.

This guy is what you need, you won't like it and you will possibly go backwards before going forwards but thats what is needed at times.
