    As a contributor, I'd hate to see the money wasted on a fly by, when it could go to charity, providing it is not needed for its primary purpose.

    The noises emanating from Valley Parade seem to suggest that Edin's departure will be sooner, rather than later; nevertheless, like others, I won't completely believe it until it is officially confirmed.

    Therefore, if it were down to me, I would:
    1. Sit on the money a bit longer; hopefully, it won't be long before we see the fly by is no longer required;
    2. Propose a 50/50 split donation to the Burns Unit / MND, subject to 3 below;
    3. Offer a refund to those who want it (hopefully, everyone will agree to donate the money).

    As a contributor I request that the money is kept until Rahic is gone.
    After which perhaps a 50 - 50 split between the Burns unit and MND of any monies not reimbursed to contributors.

    Yeah I wondered why his name has been removed, when he's refused to answer whether or not he did?

    I have no familiarity with the shareholder element but from an employment perspective, knowing his transfer dealings/approach, he'll be looking for everything that he's contractually entitled to and given his senior role I can't see it being cheap.

    The very thought of him walking away with a golden handshake, makes me seethe. He has some nerve, he will know that will be coming out of the club’s finances!! Hasn’t he done enough damage?

    I'd say keep hold of the money until he has left these shores. Then split between both charities.
    Thanks to @JonButterfield@JonButterfield and @Nick_W for your efforts in setting the flyover up.

    If he has a contract then he'll be entitled to payment in lieu of his notice period at least. It's not a debate unfortunately unless you're hoping we'll sack him at the end of a period of identifiable and interventioned poor performance or for some other substantial reason either of which won't happen.

    The thought of @Silverbantam@Silverbantam hiding behind the hedgerows in Dover snapping a pic as he walks on the P&O ferry pulling his wheelie case just to provide you with the evidence of "having left these shores"!!! :laughing::joy:

    Hi Jon, hold off until it’s confirmed he has left the building. For me, my contribution can go to Stephen Darby’s Foundation. Cheers

    Same for me Jon. But perhaps we could spend some of it on a one way plane ticket to Stuttgart in the name of Herr E. Rahic ;) it would have to be Ryanair as he likes to do things on the cheap...

    Agree, let's keep hold for now and hopefully once confirmed split between the charities. Once again thanks Jon, you put your head above the parapet to be shot at when certain people were calling you...

    This is business?? you wouldnt know it if it hit you in the face pal. Let Rupp get on with it, do you forget there are no new owners waiting?

    Rupp has certainly showed his business prowess in pushing Edin out, official or not Rhodes isnt there for nothing. So to isolate Rupp when he has clearly shown he is learning after being conned by Edin is foolish and harmful.

    Grow up!

    What, and you think a flyover is going to make that cost us any less? what is your point exactly other than contradiction?

    You really think Rupp conned Edin? Donut!

    How has Rupp leaning? How did he force Edin out? Far as I am concerned Edin still owns 22% of Bradford City and is a member of staff. Is that not correct?

    This is a man that hardly goes to games and is more interested in motor sports.

    He hasn't spent a penny on the playing side and considering he owns 78% of Bradford City he is really more to blame than Edin for the mess we're in.
