Benito Carbone

New Bradford boss
Chris Hutchings is favourite out of the 20 Premiership managers to lose his
job, according to bookmakers William Hill. Hutchings, who replaced Paul Jewell
in the summer, is rated at 8-11 to have a short stay at Valley Parade.
City only stayed
up by the skin of their teeth last term with victory over Liverpool on the
final day, and the Bantams are many people's tip for the drop again, but
after strengthening their squad with several 'useful' signings, they may
find the going slightly easier this time round.
 |
|
Dan Petrescu
|
Most attention
at Valley Parade has centred around City's huge investment in controversial
Italian Benito Carbone. The ex-Villa and Sheffield Wednesday man is undoubtedly
talented, and if Hutchings can give him a role where he doesn't have to
do much defensive work Bradford can have a very good season.
They are certainly
paying Carbone a lot of money and are depending on him more than any other
player to keep them up. Only time will tell if such an ambitious gamble
pays off or backfires. Carbone's arrival certainly solves the biggest problem
at the club last season, a lack of firepower, but could lead to other problems,
if things don't gel. Ahley Ward has been brought in to bang'em in alongside
the Italian, and he'll be looking to prove himself at the highest level,
after being a consistent scorer in the Nationwide League.

The first few
games will determine whether Hutchings and his men have an easy ride this
time round. If they get a good start and they pick up a few points early,
that would cushion them for later on, when the squad gets drained by injuries
and suspensions, as it inevitably will.
