Learning curve for Bradford City's Edin Rahic and Stuart McCall

“English football culture is different,” said the German, who bought City with Stefan Rupp last year.

“As an owner, CO and head of football, so to speak, I have another type of attitude to work to the manager. It is difficult for Stuart to understand. I’m head of football.

“I will comment if we concede a goal because I know about football. You have to take me seriously.

“It is something we have to learn from each other. I am the same. I have to learn from Greg (Abbott, recruitment) and James (Mason, COO).”
