    Don't they just pay to be on the board ... Basically to listen in and offer advice without a meaningful say

    Day to day Id say no. I'm sure Roger will come on and say they pass on their wealth and experience in varying capacity to the club and I'm sure they do
    But day to day no.
    Sparks has pretty much cart blanche in how the club runs, and his lack of experience within football is catching up very quickly with him.
    You can only lean on the likes of Mactwatory at Peterboro' for so long. At some stage you must personally become accountable and that time is just about now.

    They certainly use to. They've stopped that now though, I think becoming an associate director was at a cost of around £10k a season, You had certain benefits to that but most just stuck it through their company as an expense.

    It's ok to wish change but totally wrong to use those latter words.

    Context.

    I don’t know about everyone else, but watching the first half today I had an awful feeling. I think it was apathy.

    I enjoyed listening to GA this week but as soon as we were stroking it along the back four today i just had an awful feeling.

    Like, even though we’ve got a new manager and we should be enjoying the honeymoon, it just didn’t feel right.

    he obviously needs time to know the group as a couple of sessions in Apperley Bridge isn’t enough, but just don’t want that ‘lost’ feeling to linger from today.

    I don’t know what it is. maybe my faith has been completely lost in Rupp, Sparks and Gent, and has dwindled in the group of players.

    We need to get Cooky fit asap. God knows what’s wrong with him.

    I am sorry but what do these directors know they’ve never kicked a ball professionally in anger and had mid management roles at businesses with more resources and know how than this circus. Cull from top to bottom is required.
    Hoping those euro millions come in!!!

    Was it Rahic who disbanded the board? If so why wasn’t it reinstated? Don’t get me wrong clubs fail with boards and it’s not an answer to our problems, but it may have brought some passion, knowledge and accountability to the club.

    The lot need to change there attitudes rather than taking us all for mugs season after season.

    How many years have we down here ?????
    And yet year upon year we continue to get it badly wrong when clubs of our size have been and gone within 3 years at the most, a few of them.on the back of administration.

    Rupp either starts getting heavily involved or we simply stop funding it because frankly i would rather see a new Bradford City at the lowest levels with a long term plan than this mickey mouse set up

    Rupp has been fortunate that are numbers are still so high and maybe thats the problem :( while we continue to prop up his mess then he will simply do nothing.

    Didn't Oldham fans do away games only for a season? They forced a change but they had to get relegated to do it.
