McDonald is backed to get a permanent position.
He’s an honest individual who sets high expectations for himself and everyone else. We all have our values that we bring with us.
“Kev’s young, he has a lot of ideas, and as a team, we’re doing what he wants: pressing high, creating chances, being exciting, dominating possession – that’s something we’ve done, and the results have shown.”
“He’s been a player (this season) so he knows what everyone’s about.”
Crewe’s boss is being considered
Lee Bell, the manager of Crewe Alexandra, is “in the frame” to lead the Bantams, claims Football Insider.
Bell was chosen as the permanent manager of Mornflake Stadium in December after taking over on an interim basis in November of last year.
Bell’s team has had a fantastic start to the season after helping the Railwaymen to a 15th-place finish in League Two last year. They are now sitting fourth in the table after collecting 23 points from their opening 13 league games.
Crewe, who leads the fourth tier in goals scored with 30 so far this year, eliminated Championship team Sunderland from the Carabao Cup in August after a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light.
