    you can use losses to reduce your tax bill. Hence why charity donations aren’t as charitable as they first appear. If he’s making lots of money he can invest in Bradford and offset it

    Liverpool City centre has been transformed, its location and history have helped enormously. Your comments on Bradford, in my opinion, are bang on the money.

    I was leas to believe that this was a bradford city site not a Manchester or liverpòol site.
    if people wish to read about these teams why not use one of the many sites they have available

    Train line gradients are much more interesting than Manure & Mancy C.

    Excellent point. Can we move all the Man City v Man United v Liverpool guff to general football please? Most of it is garbage and even more of it is stuff that Bradford City fans don’t give a monkeys about. Our own club is dying on its arse and that’s more than enough to keep us occupied

    Look for me as fans we need to decide if we back Rupp or we want him out!

    Decide!

    As fans we have very little say, beyond buying STs.

    And decide based on what? His future plans for the club are completely unclear.

    If there’s assurance over a significant rebuild in the summer and financial underwriting to cover that rebuild, along with detail on who’ll over see it then I’ll consider renewing. But I have zero interest in supporting this shit show any longer.

    We need to know what his plans are before we decide to back him. If he wants out, what are the alternatives (not a question for you Fordy, an open one. He can only go if there is someone capable of taking the club on and progressing it at a price agreeable to Rupp)
    If he wants to stay and put it right next year I’ll back him, buts it’s going to be one hell of a big and expensive job whoever it is.

    For me his plans got highlighted in Jan.

    We could of spent our way out of trouble to a certain degree but he didn't or couldn't do that.

    All season we know our players haven't been great but all we got was talk about 2m and Hopkin trying to reduce the wage bill.

    Now, it looks like div 2 football and the club being worth even less.

    He has indeed. However, that would not stop him investing in us, should he be interested
