Selim used to scout players on YouTube. That was not a successful strategy. This just plain worries me. Signing Mark Wright because he was a TV celebrity was bad enough, but this.....

We’re the laughing stock of the EFL now. Bradford fans must be killing themselves.

If I was a player, I would be seriously thinking about putting in my transfer request! Betsy has said he doubts that they will get game time so I am hoping that this is just a publicity stunt.

That's indeed what it is. We keep moaning about low crowds and all the colour of the rainbow shirts at Three Bridges station on Saturday morning, but when the club tries to get the name of Crawley out there beyond the usual small circles we swim in, it's suddenly the worst thing ever?
I never had any problem with the Mark Wright stuff. Quite amusing publicity and all-time great dunk on Leeds United. The Josh Wright stuff, however, don't get me started

I wasn't happy with the Mark Wright stuff, but could see it as harmless publicity until he started at full bakc in the game against Harrogate in a league match and gave a terrible performance which ended up contribiuting to a bad defeat. I hope Betsy or the new owners remeber that and don't start putting pressure on betsy to play one of these celebrities if we ever do sign them. I imagine any of goodwill and positive publicity we garned intially from the Mark Wright signing was wiped ut when he gave that terrible performance V Harrogate and caused us to be ridiculed online by other clubs fans. Let's hope we don't make the same mistake again.

The press release has an explicit quote from Betsy that this won't happen. But sure, if it does, I'll be as upset as you. But not sure what the club can do beyond that really.
As for Harrogate yes Wright was terrible that day but it was a terrible team performance all round in that match, and to blame the loss all on just him really is stretching it
