    Contributor - hold the money to see how it pans out. If Edin is defiantly on his way, the money should be put to better use, burns unit and / or MND foundation.
    If the threat of the flyover put one nail in Edin’s coffin, it’s money well spent.

    You go on about not letting people bully Jon, yet you're doing exactly the same thing just from a different angle

    I’m happy for you to donate my tenner split between the burns unit and mnd. If things don’t materialise as we all hope I’ll happily donate again

    Mate, there's always work to do and we'll need a new director of football, general manager, PR guru, owner, knower of football....

    So, as you've stuck your head above the parapet....

    Viva la Butterfield revolution! :p

    Just wondering did you contribute @Plastic Bantam@Plastic Bantam, because @JonButterfield@JonButterfield posted this :

    My intention was to set up a poll here, but I think it would be better for now if the contributors had an open discussion.

    Just saying like.

    Nice one mate, we don't need to get into a debate just a few simple replies (after all there were only 64 contributed) should make it easier for Jon to make a decision :thumbup:.

    In all of this cancellation phone calls and discussions was their a date given for when Rahic will leave? Or was that not discussed?

    Because this could be a long process and you might be tempted to send the plane up if he hasn’t gone by January which id say is likely

    How am I?

    Nothing is a fact until it comes officially from the club.

    All I am saying is lessons need to be learnt from last time and unless the club puts things on the official website then don't believe what you're told or hear.

    So until the club state Edin is leaving, sold his shares then don't believe it.

    Bet many on here want too or think about leaving their jobs but still go into work. We need to drive him out though in a well mannered way and a flyover does no harm.

    frankly, I'd be absolutely amazed if some sort of U turn happened now - Edin's on his way out. zero point still doing the flyover at this point.


    if we don't hear anything and he turns up for games again then at that point this will need to be addressed again, but I just can't see that happening.

    keep the money back JIC, and then distribute it back/to charity when the news is official.


    or we can spend it all on booze for the Edin's gone party I'm going to throw.

    I agree.

    The hierarchy were more than happy to share their information through @City-since-67@City-since-67 with regards the potential new investment maybe we should share our information with them.
    Either they give us a predicted date of when Edin will be out of our club once and for all or we tell them we are not prepared to just sit back and await it happening and we will resurrect the fly bye ?.

    To be fair Fordy you could independently raise funds for and coordinate a flyover. If there is enough support for it in a format and terms of cancellation you propose you won't have a problem with it getting off the ground.

    That would involve him actually having to do something

    Now I was not a contributor, so hands up. However I want to see Rahic gone. He is toxic for this club.

    Having read his background, as set out in a fair bit of detail in a WOAP article. Then in particular this paragraph is very telling.

    “The tailing off of Rahic’s business career underlines just how deeply welded he is to making Bradford City work. It is rumoured Rahic earns a large salary for his endeavours, and he has of course moved the family to West Yorkshire. If Rahic was to leave Bradford City, there’s probably not many other options for him”. https://widthofapost.com/2018/10/29/what-can-rahic-and-rupp-still-achieve-from-owning-bradford-city/

    So Rahic will want to extract as much of his ‘investment’ as possible. I assume he will want 100% reimbursement and possibly interest on the capital, at commercial rates. I would also anticipate that he and his wife will want some payment for ‘Gardening Leave’, I recall that some CEO’s get a year. He may also want some payment to relocate his family to Germany (or to Holland?).

    So City will have to find a considerable sum of money, to ‘pay him off’. As a substantial share holder he is under no obligation to sell and given his behaviour I anticipate it may take some time to finalise any deal.

    So if that helps those who invested in the Fly Past, make a decision, then this post has been worthwhile.

Well done for your contribution in this matter,i'm sure it has kick started the demise of our beloved supremo_Once again many thanks.Lets hope we don't have to do it again.
