    The German take over was leaked - was it not? Why did Rupp not tell the truth in his statement of what had gone on? You nor I do not know all details - but you defend Rupp as you did Rahic until his demise.

    Morrison’s said no to the yanks a few times too. Look how that seems to have gone.

    So if the guys came along with a bag full of money we’d be like “Yeah that’s fine buy the club” whoop whoop!!

    but because tech is the baggage they bring it’s a no no from a lot that obviously haven’t looked up at all

    These guys have serious wealth Gary vernachuck alone is worth $200 million, Philli President gets a salary of $10 million a season.

    Do you really think that they would not progress us from were we are right now!!!

    serious people with serious money!!!

    incidentally Rupp said he received an e mail with an offer negotiations or otherwise wasn’t mentioned

    Which is directly contradicted by the statement from the group involved. With the level of communication and interest from Rupp over his tenure compared to what they gave in 48 hours, I think we can be confident who was telling the truth

    And you 100% believe him there were no other negotiations whatsoever? The other party has said a DIP was agreed in November.

    I'm not happy with the state of our club. I've posted before that our owner is holding us back and clearly has no ambition for the club. That is my belief.

    I'm not just happy to have a club. At the moment, for various reasons, I broadly cannot be bothered trekking over from Manchester every couple of weeks to watch poor football. Been there, done that.

    However, what I am not clear about is what WAGMI want to achieve, how they want to do it and why Bradford City? I would love a Dragon's Den style pitch, but I doubt they will not want to share such information.

    I think most of us got excited when Stefan Rupp took us over. It seemed obvious. He had plenty of cash, just what we needed... Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.

    Sparksy can tell him about it in their monthly call, or gloss over it and pretend everything's fine

    they obviously had previous negotiations but as he said he was e mailed with a formal offer which has been turned down no deceit there

    Sounds like they had a gentleman’s agreement pending a formal offer.
    When that offer came Rupp renaiged on the offer.
    He’s a brave man because failure to gain promotion this season and he’s in big trouble.

    No that's not correct. A deal in principle was agreed-meaning an acceptable offer was made and received.

    I am sure there was very little enthusiasm for this in the general fan base

    That's because you generally don't recognise the shite we're served and/or believe we have no business in aspiring to better. To trying something different.
