BRADFORD City fans say they are looking forward to a brighter future as the club looks set to announce its new manager. Derek Adams is expected to be named as the new Bantams boss today, as the club moved quickly after he left Morecambe yesterday. Since then City fans have been waiting patiently for a deal to be officially signed to bring a new manager to Valley Parade. The Scotsman is set to take over from Mark Trueman and Connor Sellars who were sacked at the end of last season after guiding City to a mid-table finish in League Two.

Pupils enjoy a sponsored read Mark Trueman is sitting comfortably, thanks to these youngsters from Audley House Prep School at Chesterton, near Bicester. They held a sponsored read in 1979 to raise money for Ritchie Russell House, the unit for the disabled at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, where Mark was a patient. With the help of 50 other pupils, aged seven to 13, they raised £190, enough to pay for a reclining chair. Nursing officer Molly Worthington, back row, centre, said: “Reclining chairs are much better because they have a foot rest and you can alter the angle of the back.”
BRADFORD City wrapped up their League Two season with defeat at Morecambe, who secured a play-off for themselves.

All eyes are now on what City do this summer, as they look to kick on next term under Mark Trueman and Conor Sellars. Here are a few views from City fans on social media following the season-ending trip to Morecambe: Bad news is we finished 15th in League 2,..good news is though, we finished above Harrogate...#bcafchttps://t.co/R7eNeHnQGFpic.twitter.com/Qc9PrO2G5k Tim Feather (@FeatherTim) May 8, 2021
