    I do.. just want what's best for the club not just watch it tick and roll over in div 2.

    Bowyer needs to show us what he can do because he hasn't so far.

    Look what's happening win Parky already. Bowyer needs to get the results or get out. Simple really!

    You do
    Do you think your unique, every City fan I meet and speak with wants our club to be the best it can be, that's nothing new.
    Once again you bleat on about Saturdays game being massive, not at all it will not get us promoted or relegated so just accept it's just another mid-season game that on paper we have a good chance of getting 3 point from.
    You quote "Lose and we will be putting far too much pressure on home game and fans will start turning" I suggest most fans expect 3 points from every home games so there will be no more pressure than normal, us fans are nowhere near turning on Bowyer or the payers.
    You have a very selective memory with regards putting a run together, if we had not lost to Port Vale it would have been 5 league wins on the trot, we lose at Plymouth and we're a club in crisis only in Fordy land,
    We have another 29 games to play, fans said at the start of the season they will judge Bowyer after 10 games, we were 6th in the league with 17 points, 5 points behind Exeter who were top and same number of games played.
    At this present moment were 7th 6 points behind Swindon the league leaders with two games in hand, that has got to be an improvement, not forgetting injured players coming back.

    You are just happy with the nothing noise that comes out of the club. No progress - nothing. If it wasn't for certain people you would be supporting Edin still.

    In terms of the league position Saturday's game I do think it's a must win. We have looked poor over recent weeks and lost last Saturday to a midtable team and we don't want to do that again. We need to win!

    Like it or not a defeat on Saturday will be putting Bowyer under pressure because he hasn't produced here as yet!

    GB is under no pressure. He has a squad capable of automatic promotion and a lot unavailable for selection due to injury. Once they come back, a strong transfer window and barring another long injury list I am confident of a top 3 finish.
    We gifted Plymouth the win on Saturday with two defensive howlers.
    Win our games in hand and we are at least second on goal difference. Hardly not producing is it?

    Making hard work of the league.. rubbish football.

    Games in hand are not points.

    Every club gets injuries!

    Ross, Poch all could point to being in decent positions and got sacked! It's managers need to prove their worth quickly or they get sacked.

    Next you will be telling me Parky at Sunderland isn't under pressure.

    "If it wasn't for certain people you would be supporting Edin still" oh dearfordy117 you have hit a new low, that has got to be the daftest thing you've posted and you've posted some stuff.

    The rest of your post is just regurgitated waffle.

    The only aim this season is to get promoted. The fact that you want to watch PL standard football in the 4th division shows how deluded you are.

    What are you talking about!

    Don't want to see our main forward playing like he's on strictly come dancing(all over the shop)

    Midfield with no creative spark.

    I agree the aim is automatic pomotion but we need to start looking like a decent team in this league.

    Not really.

    You never question the club.

    Happy with us achieving nothing and going nowhere.

    How we get promoted this season isn't about style. Give over with the we need to look like decent team guff. You are setting the bar higher than your midgets. Rooky mistake.

    Yep, I think a 2-1 or 1-0 is on the cards, and not because I don't respect their penchant for not losing at home (largely by drawing), but because I think we'll get a response from a rare loss at Plymouth.

    They do clearly have a solid defence as evidenced in most games this season, but I think as one of the top three sides in the division we'll beat these.

    Deluded you are sir. Dave called Edin out, amongst others. Certainly cant call him Happy Clapper.

    I take it you are in contact with the club on a regular basis to voice your opinions? Or just sound off on here?

    Well this is a forum(@king karl@king karl can tell me differently if it isn't) and one I respect It's a forum to air views on Bradford City is it not? Yes, some members within the club know my views. I have stated many times on here I could help this club move forward quicker and make it money but it's not up to me to share them ideas.This forum alone has a lot of people I know could help this club move forward. Loads!

    Look, Dave aka @Bronco@Bronco is a person I respect on here but he does come across like if I have chatted to you then I like you kind of person. I haven't read anything from him questioning the club, the views, the direction. Bowyer style of football is frustrating and most can see where it's going wrong but not Dave. See he chatted to Bowyer once.

    We're all Bradford City fans but days of just turning up to games mean you're a supporter is gone. You could not go to any game and be a true supporter in different ways. Football is a business and with that you need to make sure its movingly forward and under Rhodes & Rupp currently that's not the case is it? Is it?

    On the pitch we sit 7th and yes we have a few games in hand but Bowyer is looking clueless at times but we all hope and can turn it around and look like he knows what he's doing quickly or automatic places could be unachievable which is unacceptable!

    Other teams are overtaking us and I don't just mean on the pitch I mean on off. This season is massive for us! We have to go up! It has to happen!

    That tells me the man is a wum, I supported Rahic, that has to be the daftest comment ever.
    He says "I have stated many times on here I could help this club move forward quicker and make it money" yet @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart offer to introduce him to someone at the club, his reply was I'm not a charity
    He is the Walter Mitty of Bantam Talk.

    Like the club should act I am no charity.

    Look it's clear the club needs to learn how to generate more money if @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart wants to DM with an offer then I will look at it but you seem happy for the club just to tick.

    They're a lot of ways me and others on here can move this club forward but the club seems to want to talk negative and make sure it's not criticised in anyway. The meltdown from Warnock comments was unbelievable! How Parker seems never to have a bad word about the club highlights all you need to know but yet the club is just standing still.

    You're a lot old than me but all Bradford fan should now want the club to move forward.

    What is Rhodes doing?
    What is Rupp doing?
    What is the financial state of the club.

    It's not me being a WUM at all. It's me caring but I am not a charity and Bradford City shouldn't act like one either.

    All down to financial restraints mate. It's league 2 and its living within your means. I actually agree to an extent with your standpoint, that it does seem that a history of flailing about in the lower leagues is like a noose round our necks at times. To a point where i'd struggle for the enthusiasm of watching league 2 football again if we don't go up this season. Believe me, every potential avenue for this club to make money will have been looked at over and again, the guys at the top are pretty clued up on this sort of thing. But with a relatively small budget to work with there is only so much you can do.

    Fully understand that mate.

    I'm not digging anyone out and I believe every member of staff are trying their best but the biggest mistake the club has made over the years is expressing the living to their means. You have to create or sell a vision. I don't hear that. Bradford City has massive potential but it's not spelt out.

    Even with the Doyle situation it should be he's our player, he's doing well etc but we're wanting promotion and need to take a serious look at it.

    This nice, nice, people club rubbish gets you nowhere.

    Bradford City and Bradford Council hide behind the lack of budget thing in a wrong way.

    As for Bowyer as this thread is about him he needs to take us up. He has too.

    Again i agree with these sentiments mate, i'd like to think that a club in a city the size of ours wouldn't be the worst rated Yorkshire side in the football league. And the only way not to be that is to have a vision that takes you away from the bottom rung of the ladder, a bit like Brentford or a Wigan. But we know that takes investment and i don't ever see anyone in my lifetime investing in our club.
