This time you ARE going down!

The controversial Sky TV analyst, who upset Bantams fans last season with his forecasts of doom for the team, says City will definitely be relegated from the Premiership at the end of next season.

Marsh is already facing a scalping at Valley Parade before the Leicester City game on August 26 after the Bantams proved him wrong by staying up.

He will have his head shaved live on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday programme on the Valley Parade pitch with money being raised for Bradford Royal Infirmary's burns unit.

Marsh is hoping that a sum of around £50,000 can be raised from the event.

Now he is urging City fans to challenge him face to face over his predictions when he attends a sports dinner in Bradford next month along with former City boss Chris Kamara.

"It's like watching a bad American B movie with someone in the electric chair," Marsh told the Telegraph & Argus.

"Then the governor comes along and gives him a stay of execution.

"Well, City got their stay of execution last year. But this will be the season they go down."

Despite his gloomy prediction, the pundit is full of praise for City's achievement in staying up last season.

"It was fantastic and I was delighted," he said. "Paul Jewell and the players did a great job. And I think Geoffrey Richmond is a great chairman.

"But in my opinion they won't have the quality this year. They'll go down with Ipswich and Derby.

"I'm not being personal. It's just my professional opinion."

Marsh said Peter Atherton and Ian Nolan, who City signed this week from Sheffield Wednesday, were "good" players but believed they would not be enough to keep the Bantams in the Premiership.

The dinner - billed as 'An Evening with Rodney Marsh' - is on Thursday, August 17 at Bradford's Hilton Hotel featuring a three-course dinner.

The cost is £35 a head or £300 for a table of ten. For information or to book tickets call RAM Sports on 020 8400 5544.
