Who has done Bradford`s retained list and who is going to be doing ours
We are already a couple of weeks behind due to getting to the play off final so all this rumour / counter rumour needs to be sorted out by the end of this week !!!!
We are going into league 1 next season and billy big bollox bradford remain in league 2 so personally the only reason Derek would leave is higher budget and higher wage (some bradford fans are expecting automatic promotion next season so pressure on whoever takes over)
PLEASE ROD AND REST OF BOARD NIP THIS IN THE BUD AND INFORM ALL FANS IF DEREK WILL BE OUR MANAGER NEXT SEASON OR NOT

It seems that their Chief executive, Ryan Sparks, did confirm in an interview weeks ago, that the (new and coming) manager had helped with Bradford's retained and released list.

1. Derek was interviewed for the BCFC job back in December, which is a strong sign that if something better financially comes along then he’s happy to move on.
2. He hasn’t signed anything with BCFC. He’s got a contract with us and I believe that no deal would be done before our season was over. The Telegraph & Argus also said as much yesterday, which has worried Bratfud fans (see comments).
3. The players are due in at the club today to discuss terms for next season. A couple of players mentioned this. If Derek is leaving, who does this? It would seem crazy for a manager who is heading to another club to do it and for a new manager to come in to find players already signed who he may not decide he needs.
Basically, there’s a lot to resolve. My optimistic hope is that while there’s more money at BCFC, there’s also a lot more structure around scouting and player recruitment, which Derek may not like. I think we can pay him more but also allow him greater control of the footballing side that would enable him to build something much bigger and on his terms. In my view he needs to be sold a vision that marks us out as very different to other supposedly bigger clubs. That teams like Wigan started small and grew. And that as we grow we become investable and attract ownership interest that enables us to push on further.
A big challenge. I’m not optimistic but I think we’ve got people who can be persuasive.
If he goes, we had a recruitment exercise 18 months ago and we’ll have candidates and a lot of interest. While he would be a big loss we would need to put him behind us quickly and move on.
