    Allan is company secretary and has been for years.

    She is club secretary, two different jobs.

    I think Allan has retired from work, plus I’m not sure if it would be right for him to do the accounts and also have to sign them off as company secretary

    Did they also make up the quote itself? I find that hard to believe. Someone clearly knows something

    As an outsider, I would say take some of this with a pinch of salt.

    As I've mentioned before I'm a Man Utd fan and there has obviously been alot of concern about our owners including lots of national press coverage but the problem with these kinds of stories is there is usually someone with other motives that help drive them. In United's case, that's the supporters group MUST and they are massively suspect. They are desperate for some level of control of the club, this was shown by the way they backed the 'Red Knights' attempted takeover despite these people saying they would keep the debts and actually take on further loans linked to the club to fund it, they only got on board because the Red Knights offered them a golden share (A Golden share being a share that in the event of the business being sold can veto any sale). As part of their desire for control, they manipulate figures knowing most people have no knowledge of business finance, for example, when talking about the cost of the Glazers they always include non-cash expenses like Goodwill despite that not costing the club anything and actually saves the club money as its a tax shield.

    So with stories like this, you have to consider what are the motives of those behind it, are they blowing smaller things out of proportion because they have an axe to grind or because they want to destabilise the club for reasons such as establishing a takeover at a reduced price. There is a line after all that can be walked where as long as there is a grain of truth that you can get away with exaggerating things as there is more to lose for owners to take action than there is to just ignore it and that allows agendas to be pushed by playing on fans emotions

    I'm sure the Star does have a source who has probably been connected with the club in the recent past. And I also have a strong suspicion of who that is and who in the past has said he would put things into the public domain to get his own back for the way he was treated by Rahic in particular. He does have an axe to grind.

    For some context, it's already common knowledge amongst our fanbase that most of what's been written in that article is true. It's no secret that staff have left in droves, Mrs Rahic is club secretary and so on.

    Agreed.

    Who better to advise what Bradford City fans should be thinking than a Man United fan.

    It would be a good time now for the Supporter's group to try get a meeting together and now represent the supporters.

    That was what some called Mark & Julian in the past, so at best they are Laurel & Hardy mark 2, personally I like Rahic & Ruin.

    A few things I’d like to know.

    -how are these so called rumours now fact? Such as Wyke on penalty duty? Just because someone posted it on cows arse? Is that the only proof we have? Anyone can say I know it’s a fact but we have zero proof other than a few loud shouters.

    - what does James mason plan to achieve by his comments on twitter? If he loved the club so much he either gets a consortium together and buys them out or he shuts up and leaves it alone. He’s left and obviously bitter about it but he isn’t not helping anyone at all who is still connected with the club. If he didn’t get contacted so what? It’s not his job anymore. And he will only help to spread the bad news coming out of the club. Could put off more sponsors or players or coaches etc. What exactly does he plan to do or what does he think good this will do?

    - the talk of administration? Who exactly will put the club into administration? Usually it’s only hmrc who would? And isn’t it common for businesses to have unpaid bills/accounts? Usually settling up later rather than sooner? Not sure on this field myself

    - Rahic taking a wage and his wife? Surely that’s down to Rupp and he has enough money to back that up if he wants?

    All questions and scenarios. Not taking sides here but a daily star article who no one normally believes ever and suddenly we are minutes away from administration

    Should the Daily Star get ready for a court case if they have reported and posted lies, if both Edin & Stefan can prove no one was forced out and were dismissed in the correct manner they should have a case for libel/slander wouldn't they ?.

    With regards to mason, is it unreasonable to think he could be behind most of these latest media stories. He's been unusually vocal on Twitter dropping hints in most of his tweets. Also he met with Baldwin lately - could they be trying to put a consortium together?
