Bradford City boss Stuart McCall, has criticised the terriers after the club released details of our top striker Luke Beckett’s proposed move to City.
Details of the Bantams approach for the 31-year-old were published on Huddersfield Towns official website on Wednesday despite the parties concerned having not yet reached a final agreement for the striker.
‘I’m disappointed it’s come out. It puts everyone under pressure with people asking what’s going on,’ McCall said.
‘We went through the right channels before speaking to him. We met the requirements with his club and it’s been a good discussion.
I disagree with McCall on this one, and agree with the club, even though I don’t think we should sell our top scorer of two seasons to a local rival.
Fans are the clubs, no fans no club, why be so secretive about it.
I understand that their are many reasons for clubs not revealing what is going on at a club, but surely the inclusion of the fans and free flow of information, on balance must be better in terms of getting fans to feel involved and valued, than behind the scenes deals done on behalf of supporters.
What are McCall and others with his opinion, so scared of.
Although I doubt this was done by accident by the HTFC, and given recent events I am fearful we may be entering a time of media manipulation at the Galpharm.
Good on the club, I would hate us to return to another ‘veil of secrecy’ era.

Macca, get an haircut, mullet!
We aint had any news released on who we are signing.. surely Ternent has been in contact with clubs… who are not revealing our enquiries.. if they did it would increase the intrest in the player,, i would guess this would be done by the players agent.. Oh well UP THE TOWN!!
Sounds to me like things are not all rosy at the galpharm, do I detect a long season ahead for you?
Hopefully not, But maybe so?! Who knows , either way im sure it will be eventful!!
tbh, anywhere outside the top 6 will be a major let down. especially if stan spends wisely, which i think he will (but tenner bet whoever he signs will not be of the approval of TF82, ternent signs ronaldo = TERNENT OUT! RONALDO SUCKS! )
Depends which Ronaldo……LOL
Any would do!
TF82… im sure we arent disclosing our enquiries after last year, considering the impact jason scotland had on swansea, i doubt the club would make the same mistakes as to tell us on the good players we have missed out on.
If the club disclose enquiries for players, and dont succeed it shows ambition, I think us knowing we didnt get Scotland for example is a good thing, if a player goes elsewhere so be it. Why is that a mistake (p.s odd username), username?
Probably gets him less hassle than Codbater.
Yes twice pleae with bits on. I get Codbater..LOL
better than master?? PMSL!!!
