I like that Wellens is going to 'respect' they decision, what's he going to do otherwise, lock Doyler in a cupboard!

Note is the second most read story on the T&A website (Although that might just be Town fans reading it), the comments make interesting and actually quite sensible reading.

It already was three hours ago.
D Day? Sounds as if the shift is him returning to Bradford - probably mainly to avoid a PR disaster

Fat lot of use you'd have been on Omaha Beach. Although admittedly better than Legends-Lounge, who'd still be skulking around in Weymouth for another ten days, before claiming to be a war hero.

Indeed, the idea that they've not really given it much thought till now but they're going to sit down and have a chat about it this afternoon is laughable

I expect they'll have already decided to do x unless y happens in the meantime.

Its also in both clubs interest to agree how the narrative is spun either way.

It’s easier for Power, though. All he has to say is Bradford wanted him back and there was nothing he could do about it.

If Bradford dont recall him they’ll be loads of shit directed in their direction. Maybe the time it’s taking is for Bradford to have another striker lined up to deflect the criticism.

Tbf, I’d be fucking livid if I was a Bradford fan.

I think he gets "recalled" today as that's the official deadline and Bradford have to do that if they want to either;

a) keep him.
b) renegotiate his loan with us.
or
c) sell him to us.

Otherwise they'd be allowing him to stay here on his current agreement. Since he has scored a shitload, renegotiated/improved loan terms seems fair for Bradford to suggest we pay a bit more/all of his wage. I'm going for the latter (option c), and he'll be a Town player by the end of the window.

Hahaha. Just had a quick look on the BantamTalk thread RE: Doyle, which is now called "Eoin Doyle (recalled to City 8/1/2020)" lolz.

Best thing is, a poster called Mitchelldownie seems to think that Doyle can and  I quote

...Doyle can write himself into the record books as leading scorer, maybe chalk up two promotions in one season and at the age of 31...

I'd love half of what he's on. Two promotions, in one season!? Now unless they think Bradford are going to "do a Swindon" and get shafted by the FL then good luck  Pint

In the 10-15 range normally so the fella maybe onto something, not that you get a medal for finishing 2nd or 3rd mind you.

Championship medal and PO winners medal is possible

Yeah but I'm pretty sure that the condition on receiving a medal isn't just the games played. You have to be registered at the club you're playing for come seasons end/last game.

Last time I checked you can't be registered at one club at the same time (although you can be registered for three clubs in one season; 3 in 2 rule).

Anyway he wouldn't win two medals (unless POs) but happy if someone can clarify it.

I'm sure you get medals for second and third...my mate was a assistant physio at Wycombe and he has one framed on his office wall...they came third that year.

It does make me chuckle how Bradford fans see us as a one man team, and that they thought we were no great shakes in the two matches. When we played up there it was slap bang in the middle of our worst run this season, when we lost over half our league loss total to date. Playing them at home whilst struggling with injuries and players out of position. We'll be fine. Shame if they started to drop away now  Wink
