Bradford City CEO Ryan Sparks believes the club can continue to punch above their weight in League One next season. Despite a modest budget, Sparks thinks smart recruitment, canny management, and other factors can keep the club on an upward trajectory. The club has already confirmed one signing, Jake Beesley, ahead of the summer window opening on June 15. Sparks added that the club will not be wafting the chequebook with abandon and will be sensible in terms of what they spend, but their budget will be slightly raised from last term. The club's owner, Stefan Rupp, will invest in the team, but Sparks will set a budget on a break-even and then speak to Rupp about what investment could look like and where it could take them. Sparks believes momentum is a powerful thing and the club needs to keep the oil tanker moving. He added that the club has made a real fist of it and shown that it can be done with the right sort of mindset, management, movement, and the whole feeling around the club. The club's fans have been raucously acclaimed the efforts of those in claret and amber on the season-ending occasion on May 14, and Sparks believes this positivity and optimism will carry into next season. The club's return to League One has been a significant achievement, and Sparks is delighted with the progress made. He believes the club will continue to punch above their weight next season, but they will have to outperform their budget. Sparks added that the club will be sensible in terms of what they spend and will not push the envelope beyond what Rupp can afford to invest.
