That's not like him.

You'll be hanging on DJWaterhouse's transfer rumours next...

No one is ITK anymore, our club is water tight.

Haven't Bradford renamed their ground a dozen times now?

I think CT used to refer to all of the names at once when he did reports of our pre-season visits before. He may still be well versed in how many names the ground has now had.

But he doesn't actually put detail into anything he says

Just supposition

I always thought DJ was the Egyptian and Ben is Alan Pace

I’m not particularly fussed what sponsor we have as long it results in more money for the club.

Not sure what the issue is with betting company’s sponsoring the club?

I’d love to see “Beer and Fags” emblazoned on our chests.

Sometimes its more suppository than supposition.

So is he , or is he not a credible source?

Any transfer rumour is by definition supposition, so is every actual transfer until the player signs.

I don’t know Ben but I have never found him to be egotistical or particularly attention seeking; while I get snippets from someone with cast iron contacts in several clubs, I would never abuse my friendship by ever asking for inside info... and so can genuinely tell you I know nothing, but am far from worried.

He hasn’t really said anything. Just a lot of conspicuous statements, then disappeared when questioned about it.

I am still waiting for anyone to highlight where funds for signings are supposed to come from this summer. Would be over the moon if anyone could confirm.

We don't know what the club has in the bank right now, or for this summer.
We don't know when the former owners got paid.
We don't know what the new owners have planned.
We don't know if the club has already started making quiet moves in the market place.

Sometimes you've just got to stop worrying about something well out of your control and just let stuff happen.

I assume that you are from Wisconsin, we seem quite popular in that state from what I have seen - glad to have you with us

Thank you! I’m glad to be here. Yes, I’m from Wisconsin, all the way up on Lake Superior. However, I’m not originally from there. Just moved here two years ago from Princeton in New Jersey...where I did my masters work. Before that Lancaster, Pennsylvania for 6 years which shares the red rose! Before that, if you are familiar with the English and American Show “The Office” I lived near where the American version was set..Scranton.

Bradford play at Horsfall, formerly of Park Avenue.

Bradford City, play at (I think it is now) The Northern Commercials stadium, formerly The Coral Windows Stadium, Pulse stadium, Intersonic stadium, Bradford and Bingley Building Society stadium and probably some others I’ve forgotten.

It’s rumoured that Bradford council employs one man just to keep the stadium signs in and around the city up to date!!

For all the names, it’s still Valley Parade. They’ve changed that many times, people can’t remember what it currently is which is hardly a great reason for a company to shell out big bucks for naming rights.

If or when they decided to rename our ground, it would still always be known by us fans as turf moor, or, the turf, which is why I'd have no problem with it being named... I'd never call it that anyway
