Even though Simon Grayson was offered a contract extension, he has opted to leave the job. Bradford fans I've read suggest it indicative of a poor budget, or at least no improvement, for next season.

There must be a good chance he will end up at Barnsley or maybe Sunderland.

Sunderland?

Sunderland?

They need a new manager and no guarantee that Wilder will leave Sheffield United.

Wasn’t he at Sunderland a year ago and got sacked though?

Nailed on for Scunthorpe job I hear. Promotion or not.

Knows L1 though.

Flopped at Bradford after getting binned off by Sunderland, absolutely no chance of getting the Sunderland job again.

Won’t Wilder have to take the job or pay back the money the Donald’s gave to get him out of his contract here?

Grayson turned down extending his contract at Bradford after discussions with the owners. From the comments I've read by Bradford fans, it doesn't bode well for the budget. The feeling is he will be successful at L1 level if backed so Bradford wasn't a good fit it seems.

As for Wilder, haven't a clue.

On departing Bradford, did Grayson remember to (err) Shut That Door?

I am surprised and happy to know BCFC will not have a competitive budget 18/19.

Must be disappointing season ticket sales. 17/18 season ticket income was £3,125,500 (18.5k * £169).
