Takeover Rumours

Like you when Rahic ran the show Park?

 

You think Jack will be logging back on here? Has he?

 

No but maybe he has his email notifications set so when someone tags him @Jack Settleman he might get an email and he may just press the link....

Doubt it though. He's probably moved on to something else.

 

GMoney was one of the potential investors. Good enough for Adidas to do business with but not Bradford City apparently.

 

Could it be possible that the deal was indeed agreed but the brash Americans spilled the beans too early? Rupp got pissed off and spiked it. Then put out his statements.

 

Bored Ape - all over the metaverse and NFT landscape at the moment.

 

I think Adidas Originals are an easier sell than anything Bradford City related. Can't imagine many people buying into it.

As a side note, saw that the owners of Blackburn have just injected another £8m into the club to keep it going. Costs a bit owning a football club.

 

3rd in the league thou . Worth the risk for the promised line

 

My main point is that they clearly know what they’re doing and know how to make money.
It’s a world I’m not familiar with at all but I’d imagine they are a head of the game in terms of all things crypto and if Adidas are on board and making that kind of money in just a day then I think it’s something we could have been excited about. Surely it’s better than a disinterested German and a sound bite loving CEO who has also disappeared once the shit has hit the fan.

 

They had no reason to air the laundry. Whether true or not is really unprofessional and shouldn't be done business with.

Do you think Rupp is that petty that he wont sell when offered a profit just because they embarrassed him? Do you not think its petty that WAGMI said that all? There are other clubs to buy. If they were that serious, over that time they would have actually BEEN at the club.instead of just going down to london. Respectfully you are letting your emotions and bias against rupp cloud your judgment. He could have just sold up took his money and run. If he hated the club as much as people put out on here that would have been his only option. He really has done good here and should be respected for it.

 

There can't be many who agree with you on that.

 

Not really… their ‘plan’ was to sell NFTs to actually fund the club. Why would a leeds or Huddersfield fan buy one? I can understand why people would want addidas NFTs as its the 2nd largest sports brand in the world. But outside of Bradford or maybe West Yorkshire who would possibly want one? That fact you think that is better than what we currently have is a bit shocking to be honest. Willing to gamble the club for success.


What would city have done if the NFT bubble bursts?

 

I was inclined to respect your opinion on the matter until I read the last sentence. Night Stefan x

 

Dont care. Here he has come good and shown his colours. Like i said before if he really wanted out he could have done so.

how many on here would have stayed silent if the club went into admin? Or into the NL?

 

You do realise that most football club owners are business men/women and are successful in their own field of business? What would they do if their bubble burst? Let’s all just accept mediocrity because we’re shit scared of the big scary Americans coming over with brash and scary ideas. Some of you get what you are served. Dross.

 

They had been down to the club. If you were listening to the twitter space, they said they came down to the training ground on a Saturday morning to watch the young kids play their fixtures.

 

Good logical reasoning that. Well you thought WAGMI were good custodians so understandable really.

 

Whatever the merits of the American bid and subsequent press releases on both sides it's obvious that our club is a saleable commodity
Mr Rupp has already shown us his true colours since he became owner and rest assured he wouldn't have declined the American offer because it wasn't right for Bradford City almost certainly it wouldn't have been right for Mr Rupp
It would seem he is happy for the time being to retain us as part of his portfolio Which possibly means he can write tax losses off against us maybe @Dennis would know better ?? or as is widely thought there was more than one offer on the table more lucrative to Mr Rupp either way his investment/ non investment in January will confirm any commitment he has
It remains to be seen if the Americans succeed in buying another club and if they are able to make a success of it (a missed opportunity for us if they do) and if any other bid is accepted by Mr Rupp which I think is highly likely
Either way if he still owns us in January he has to invest or face further loses or worse
Over to you Mr Rupp do the decent thing act as an owner or move over
