Whoever the new Bradford City manager is, they need to take this Swindon Town action.
After a string of disappointing performances that left the Bantams near the bottom of the League Two standings, the team chose to fire Mark Hughes at the start of October.
The 2-1 loss to Tranmere Rovers was Hughes’ final match as manager. Bradford has been temporarily led by Kevin McDonald since Hughes left, and while his tenure has gone rather well, the team has lost its last two league games.
The Yorkshire team doesn’t appear to be in a hurry to name a new manager, but the incoming manager might have some important choices to make.
What is the latest in Bradford City’s search for a new manager?
Bradford have already suffered a setback in their pursuit of a new manager after it was reported that former Oxford United manager Karl Robinson had turned down the job.
Aside from Robinson’s name, there has been very little talk about who could be an option for the Bantams vacancy.
Another name that has emerged is Dean Holden. He is currently out of work and has been since being sacked by Charlton Athletic at the beginning of the season.
In fact, it was claimed last week that Bradford were eying up the 43-year-old, but it is unclear if an approach has been made.
However, it seems the Yorkshire side have competition for Holden, as it’s also been reported that Gillingham and Bristol Rovers are also keen on the manager.
While it has been announced that McDonald, who was in temporary charge of the first team, has now stepped down from his role to concentrate on his football, it has been claimed elsewhere that a new manager could be hired before the weekend.
The new manager will have a big job on his hands, but to make their lives a little bit easier, they could look to take this action regarding player Jake Young.
Why should the new Bradford City manager look to bring Jake Young back from Swindon Town?
Nevertheless, the young player’s loan has been effective thus far, as he has scored 10 goals in 14 league games. He has been essential to Swindon’s season and is presently the third-highest league scorer.
He has been fouled 0.7 times, averages 2.2 shots, and 0.6 dribbles per game. According to WhoScored.com, he also has a pass success percentage of 66%, which has enabled him to register 0.8 critical passes and result in four assists.
