King Kev backs Bantams



Football legend Kevin Keegan believes Peter Jackson is the right man to lead the Bantams to promotion from League Two next season.

Keegan feels the City boss now has the chance to prepare the club 'the way he wants' after taking over halfway through the last campaign.

The former Newcastle and England manager exclusively told BCB reporter Raz Mirza that if the club get things right, they could be playing in the Championship within the next few years.

Keegan, who is ambassador for npower’s No Power Hour, was at Leeds' Millennium Square to urges parents and children to spend an hour without power this summer.

The 60-year-old hosted an exclusive family workshop demonstrating the many ways families can switch off, get active, and spend some quality time together outside, whilst saving energy at the same time.

But all the talk afterwards was about Bradford City and their chances next season.

Keegan claims Jackson has enough inside knowledge of the game to get the right players into Valley Parade.

And when asked if he thinks the club have a chance of promotion next season, he said: "Crawley have spent a lot of money, so I think they'll go straight up.

"So I think there will be two places up for grabs. Why shouldn't Bradford City be one of them?"
