City target Ian Breckin is still banking on Nicky Law to take him to Valley Parade.

Law pulled out of the race for Chesterfield duo Breckin and Jamie Burt after his old club laughed off a £225,000 offer.

But centre-half Breckin is hoping the interest will be resurrected so he can make the step up to the First Division.

In a clear "come and get me" message, Breckin told the Telegraph & Argus he would love to link up again with Law.

Breckin said: "I would jump at the chance. I've always got on well with Nicky and if I could play again for him at Bradford it would be great.

"I feel stuck in the middle at the moment. I've spoken to the manager here and they don't deem Bradford's offer to be reasonable. I'm a bit upset about it and it is a difficult situation. When a club like Bradford come in for you, it's a great opportunity to play at a higher level.

"Nicky has gone in there and started very well, considering he hasn't had any funds yet. I think he will do a good job getting them safe this season and then building the team for next time.

"I'm 26 now and I feel I should be playing a bit higher up. When Nicky was in charge at Chesterfield he was always saying I would have no problem performing in a better league.

"Chesterfield want to hold out for what they think I am worth but they have to be realistic. I've got one more year on my contract after this one and if nothing happens before next season, I could end up leaving for nothing."

Law has made it plain he will not be dragged into a bidding war, particularly for Breckin. Preston and West Brom are rumoured to be in the hunt.

Chesterfield may not be in such a hurry to sell if they come out of administration next week. A creditors' meeting on Monday is expected to accept a financial package from fans' pressure group CFSS who will take control of the club.

Breckin said: "I don't know if it will change anything. But I desperately want to play at a higher level, especially if the chance came for me at Bradford."
