David Hopkin certainly turning things around at Bradford, recently starting to score goals freely including yesterdays 4-0 win against Walsall.
The improved form has co-incided with changes at boardroom level, former owner Julian Rhodes has returned to the club as an interim Chief Executive whilst chairman Edin Rahic has left the club. Majority owner Stefan Rupp (who has been a silent partner whilst Rahic ran the club) is looking to be more involved, whilst giving full support to Hopkin and Rhodes.
Just retaining League 1 status would be an achievement by Hopkin - when he has no transfer window to bring players in, the club has been in such a mess from pre-season and a mounting injury list. Some shrewd signings in January (wingers and a left back), then Bradford will be climbing up the table for sure.
