    Right so 10 managers with good CVs turning shit or 1 owner thats fuelled our demise...

    Rupp must have a habit of agreeing to appoint shit underperforming managers then. I mean, his judgement surely can't be great after he thought Edin would do a good job with the club. Why are we trusting him with anything?

    I doubt very much Mr Rupp had anything to do with appointing Mr Adams
    You can lay that fair and square at the feet of Mr Sparks

    Is that his fault that the majority of these lot couldn’t do the job even with the tools in place ????
    We have the 5th biggest budget in this league ???? and time after time we are getting outdone by teams on a lot less I mean Crawley yesterday I should imagine won’t have nothing like our budget yet they outperform us ............. why is that ????? Is that down to Rupp ????
    No it’s down the manager and the players he’s brought in .............. you stick the majority of managers at our level in that job and I guarantee they will get a tune out of them

    Maybe so
    Was never keen myself he lacked ambition not trying to keep Morecambe in L1
    Wonder what he would do if by some strange quirk he got us there

    I'd suggest that is exactly what Rupp said on the promoting Ryan to the position of Bradford City's CEO, that Ryan's job surely.

    Unless a league two side comes in offering a 3 year deal in good money then he would stay

    He signs off on it and put Sparks in that role as CEO, giving him permission to choose his manager. Given how Rupp trusted Edin to a good job, I'm very doubtful in his ability to appoint the right people.

    Right so we've just got 10 managers in who just happened to be shit that Rupp signed off on. Even Adams with his League 2 CV. So he's really bad at appointing CEOs and signing off on managers. Great let's get him to sign off on another or pick another inexperienced CEO to run us.

    I'm sure we'll get to appointing the majority of League 2 managers soon enough given our track record. Then I guess you'll finally see what the problem is.

    To be fair he hasn't a clue about football we are just another toy to him
    Unfortunately he took notice of junior to appoint Mr Sparks and then left him to (get on with it) Big Mistake
    So much is wrong with our club and until either Mr Rupp gets a grip or sells out we will continue the downward spiral
    Still maintain if we had a decent manager who had us in top 3 no one would even give Mr Rupp a 2nd thought

    I took a dump the other day, carefully laid it in tuperware and is in the fridge staying fresh. Im the same as Mr Rupp, a proud custodian of shite.

    So question to anyone who isn't convinced that Rupp needs to go:

    Can you think of a single shred of evidence that suggests we will improve under his custodianship, given he has provided nothing but constant failure?

    Whilst I am neither for or against Rupp I would turn it round to you. Are you first convinced there is anybody out there remotely interested firstly with the funds to buy the club and secondly to provide finance on top of what the club makes. Like you I long for a time when we are owned by a super rich preferably Bradford city supporter or consortium but I just can’t see it in the city of Bradford

    The only argument people have is ifs and buts. If we had another manager it’d be better, but who’s gunna buy us…

    Thankfully for the likes of Charlton and Newcastle they weren’t so willing to have their tummy tickled. Wonder what Rupp will spend his £300k on this year, bet it’s a nice car.

    TBF Sparks fully denied the £300k exists. He said at the forum he would walk away if he thought the owner was taking money out.

    So either find some evidence for your £300k or stop detailing it as fact.
