    If that's a veiled knock at myself for a complaint on running hot water, then I'm disappointed.

    A basic commodity, maybe a legal requisitive, for supporters to be able to use, especially in a Covid environment, is not 'criticising' in my eyes.

    By the way, if I've misread your response, apologies in advance.

    In context to the post in general, yeah, fairly put.

    I've read a lot of people making a lot of demands of Ryan and saying this or that should happen and asking why it isn't already in place.

    I'm reading a lot less criticism of him though. After the initial shock of his appointment, most people seem happy with him in place now. Some are reserving judgement, but that's no bad thing.

    Sanitizer just inside the turnstiles, as they need to be pushed open and we know that surfaces can help to spread infection.

    All depends who you are comparing him too. You compare him to Rhodes nothing to compare because Rhodes was utter shite.

    If we are happy because of the improvements. Some have been calling them out for years and nothing has been done but you have to ask yourself why now?

    For me Rupp is planning on selling and that will be a good thing. In terms of Sparks. Judge him in a year.

    Modernising toilet blocks and replacing seating has more to do with health and safety requirements than 'adding value' in the event of a sale. Furthermore new dugouts are a nice enhancement but are not a catalyst for Stephan to sell imo. Just great to see things moving along.

    He’s making a difference for sure. The club and the stadium shouldn’t have been allowed to get into the state it is in.

    Lease may be up soon but a new one will be signed as neither side want anything else as neither currently have another option

    Just a thought, but if the bogs in my rented office weren't up to scratch, and the hot water not working properly, I'd speak to my landlord and get him to pay for the required work. Are Bradford City going to be paying for all this, or is Gibb going to contribute?

    If you just rented an office in a block and it was shared facilities then maybe but if you leased the whole block the maintenance would be your responsibility.

    Fairly standard business lease terms for it to be full maintenance

    Q, ‘Are Bradford City going to be paying for all this…’, A: Undoubtedly.
    Q ‘or is Gibb going to contribute? A: Snowball in a hot hell will occur first.

    commercial leases the lessee pays for the upkeep. I’m going through dilapidations as we move out of our old building. It’s a right fecking pain in the arse.

    Yes, but many will be priced out.

    The ground has fallen into such a state of disrepair, let's face it, if any of us had been appointed CEO, we'd be doing the same as Ryan. It's not rocket science, just basic housekeeping. It just illustrates the failure of previous management in allowing years of neglect.

    Remember, he's not spending his own money on these projects!

    He'll be judged on the outcome of his appointment of Adams.
