After years of steady decline, I actually felt inspite of results we were on the verge of turning the corner with you at the helm. We'll never know if that was ever going to happen now, go with your head held high for inspite of mistakes made even by your own admittance, I actually felt you were learning from them and was one of the few it seems prepared to let you continue to learn here & steadily build for the future.

We'll never see another man at the helm here with such a strong affinity for this club, for that your departure is a sad one no matter how poor the results are / have been. I genuinely fear that long term his will come back to haunt us as the BCFC managerial merry go round will no doubt now continue for years to come.

Whoevers "Bradford Army" we now become, I for one won't ever sing that song as loud and proud as I did "Stuart McCalls Bradford Army".

So long old ginger amigo, here's hoping you find employment at your other love north of the border before long.



This post says everything I could have said and wanted to say far better than I could say it.

McGOD - Respect.

Stuart helped to bring large crowds back to Valley parade for which I thank him. That has been a great success!

Stuart,

Onwards and upwards.

The fact that things didn't turn out the way you and the rest of us wanted is dissapointing but not the end of the world. I wish you every success in the future and look forward to chanting your name again the next time you visit VP.

Stuart we are the same age so i feel like we have grown up together! I was stood just in front of you at the final whistle at Wolves and i will never forget the look on your face and the joy it obviously brought you. You have left us all with some fantastic memories. Thanks.

I think I must have been sat somewhere near you Whiskers... his was the first expression I remember seeing once I'd actually wiped my own tears. Great day, still a goosebump inducing memory every time.

Couldn't make it to Wolves, but was fortunate enough to witness first hand Stuart doing his beer balancing act in the car park.

yep Monks really stirs the emotions...had a real lump in my throat listening to him the radio on the way home satdy... hes proved his status as a legend. The difference between Macca and the sort of mercenaries you get these days couldnt be more stark.

Got back for that too Thrupps, chucked a can of special brew (all they had left in the off licence on Manny Lane when I got there) up to Lee Mills who nearly fell out of the window of whatever building that used to be in the car park trying to catch it.

Unbelievable day when you think about it now. What a season that was.

I'm still gutted that he's gone. Ne never gave less than 100% as a player & I don't believe he ever gave less than 100% as manager. I'm glad it never got to the point of McCall out chants though.
I think given more time & support from everyone at the club he would have brought some success back, but sadly it was not to be.
I think the appointment of Stuart as manager was probably the best thing to happen at VP since Jewell left & hopefully he'll be back again once he's older & wiser :D

Best of luck in the future Stuart

I fully agree with that. Stuart gave us hope and his 100% effort was unquestioned. I'm sad it didn't work out this time around and hope that Stuart still keeps in contact with the club.
