just came up on sky sports news.

can leave with his head held high imo.

I assume they are waiting for the second coming of the messiah to save them.

yes unless they have someone lined up I cant see the reasoning behind this really.as an outsider looking in franny has always acted with dignity whilst all the woes went on around him and to get the team 4 wins so far is as much as anyone else could have managed with the squad he has,its not his fault the club got 6 points docked and cant stay up now.

I hope it wont, and it shouldnt affect his career moving forward and wish him all the best.

The return of Brian Noble?

Clearing of the decks or a last throw of the dice???

Well, thats the full house I suppose. The bottom 4 teams have now all changed coach mid season. Welcome to the side-effects of relegation.

Franny had to go. When he's basically saying he's unable to motivate his players any more, that's a resignation letter in all but name.

He was dealt the crappiest of hands, and he's shown enough that he will be a good coach when he doesn't have to run about putting out fires every day.

Can see Noble jumping in...

Relegation or no relegation the teams at the bottom are always most likely to replace the man at the helm.
On yesterdays evidence that Bradford side have given up and on that form they will struggle to gain another win all season.

I wonder how long F.C’s contract was for?

Wakey were lucky that Agar just quit, it could cost Bradford a few bob, but if a new coach can perform the great escape, it’ll be money well spent.

Despicable decision.

The writing was on the wall after the Ferres outburst.

How could the coach possibly motivate the players a few days after the points decision when some of the players and their agents would have been making every effort to seek another club for 2015.

The players must have been demoralized.The final nail in the lid on the coffin.

Huge respect to Francis Cummins for the work he has been doing against the most incredible background.

Agreed

The guy has had to deal with more cr@p in 3 years than most coaches have in a life time.
Always dignified and doing an ok job with a shrinking squad and no cash.

The term "fall guy" comes to mind here.

One thing that is for sure is that sacking FC has solved absolutely none of the bulls real problems.
