    So he can interfere if it suits the fans but not when it doesn’t?

    He backed his manager he appointed at the time. What we ask for him to do. And when he does that, he’s in the wrong?

    As I said he can’t win. I get you don’t like him but come on, even you can’t believe what you’re typing

    I was thinking exactly the same.
    People need to lay off him. He may not of brought the best plan with him and it definatley hasn’t worked but do people actually think he wants us to fail. I truly believe he has our best interests at heart. We need to back the team and stop worrying about Edin.
    Hope it’s rocking like at Sunderland tomorrow.
    Need to lift the team and show our support.
    I know it won’t happen because we are all @?#&
    I can’t believe what arsehole fans we have.
    I don’t want to go watch us at the min and it has feckall to do with the team. It’s the young nob heads wanting to start trouble. The old bastards constantly complaining. There are so few fans there that want to cheer the team and make it a good occasion. Times won’t always be good. But we should watch and enjoy the football. And if we can’t enjoy the football back the team and make an atmosphere the team can be proud of. Can’t be easy for them at the minute.

    I agree with your sentiment but not sure we can go around calling our fans things because they have a moan.

    They are entitled to their opinion and pay hard earned money to have their say each week. Fair enough. Let them. Everyone sees the game differently and has different opinions on players and what tactics should be played and that’s the beauty of football. Everyone can have their say.

    I just take issue with taking something which isn’t there at all to add to the fire regarding the owners and in particular Rahic.

    I get the issues with decisions and the last 12 months have certainly shown that to be correct. League table and form doesn’t lie. But we cannot make things up because we don’t necessarily like what we hear to attack someone. You have enough ammo without that. It’s poor.

    You would back any manager you figured would be around for some time.

    Like Stuart McCall.

    But wait, Edin didn't back Stuart McCall, because it didn't suit his long term ambitions.

    Contrarily, I'm expected to believe Edin 'backed' Collins by effectively sacking Kilgallon, before sacking Collins the week after?

    Yeah, doesn't really work logically, does it?

    At best, it's naive if innocent management - at worst, it's shenanigans.

    Then you consider Stuart was sacked not long after a transfer window shut, and then Grayson never even saw a window, before Collins was axed after a window shut, and people start to imagine pretty little patterns.

    But you're probably right, mate, to be perfectly honest, it's all just a series of coincidences, nothing malicious. Why do I say that? Because the man couldn't run a tap, let alone a football club, so to expect his decisions to make sense really isn't logical. But that doesn't give me more cause to support the guy, it gives me less.

    She isn’t revelling in it, she’s just making a comment on a football forum. Is she not allowed to pass comment AND still watch the team?

    Excellent point. If you've read her posts over the years you would know she is not revelling in it but in pain at the moment as should any proper minded BCFC fan be at the moment!!

    Wow, so you're 22 according to your profile? Young ones are knobheads and old ones miserable bastards. I've been going twice the length you have been alive young man. I think you'll find that the supporters have supported the team and in fairness haven't given Rahic as much shit as he should have had given that in 2018 we are 71 out of 72 EFL teams - 23 points from 38 games. But as long as you're happy then everything is hunky dory. Really proud of our Chairmen, doing a fantastic job!!

    No he doesn’t but he wasn’t asked. He is as confused as the rest of us!!

    Anyway why would it be Edin according to all press reports he is a joy to work with, well at least those that are actually working with him now!! Those that have left his employ it is another story!

    He was 100% Rahic’s mouthpiece. At least we can be thankful that the current manager isn’t likely to go down that route but the damage is already done for this season.

    It’s plain for anyone that has their eyes open, a summer recruiting a puss poor squad followed by appointing a coach with about as much idea as Mr Bean has left us where we are now. It’s no surprise really when you look at it properly and it’s going to take something close to a miracle and a lot of money in January to salvage something from it.

    Rahic ought to stay in Germany, he’s neither wanted nor welcome in Bradford.

    If Killa believed that the real decision maker for his departure was Rahic why do you think he didn't say so? Killa had nothing to lose in pointing his finger.

    Why shouldn't we all accept Killa's explanation at face value?

    Here are some of the recent poor decisions we have made from a player point of view:

    *Getting rid of Wyke for peanuts and to a team in the same division at that.

    *Didnt 't offer Law a contract despite him playing a big part in our success and somehow deeming Dieng a better option to him, even when he was clearly an inferior player

    *Completely ommiting Kilgallon from the the match day squad and thinking Adam Chicksen and rMellor were better Centre Backs.

    *The whole Doyle fiasco and the bizzare circumstances behind his departure.

    Now consider the shambolic working relationship between Rahic and McCall, the overall cuntishness of Rahic, the players in that photo and join the dots. For none of the above to point back to that picture and hence Rahic you have to basically write it all off as a sheer coincidence and give Rahic some benefit of the doubt. Given the reputation he's built for himself, I can see why fans aren't prepared to do that I think Edin is an easy but also justifiable answer to the poor decision making we've seen recently. Whether he did or didn't play his part in Kilgallon leaving, the reasons for thinking he did aren't unprovoked or without substance as you seem to be Implying.

    You carry on clapping like a demented seal all the way to League Two if you like but I'll bet you're in the minority.

    People are "moaning", for the most part, because they care and people are angry and annoyed because of the trajectory of the club at present. A trajectory that 95% think will continue with the current owners.

    Fair enough if you want to cheer the team but how the feck can you "enjoy the football" if we're getting pumped by the likes of Macclesfield, Wycombe and Accrington Stanley? The idea of creating an impressive atmosphere under those conditions is about as unrealistic as Edin's master plan that's causing the conditions.

    If you believe he made those mistakes that’s fine.

    You don’t need anything else to add to your Rahic out piece. So stop making it up to fit when it doesn’t in this case. It’s garbage.

    Because it doesn’t make sense. When asked on local radio about Killa’s non involvement in the team or squad, and he replied that he was the consummate professional he came into training worked very hard, and if he continued he would most certainly be part of the plan. He then left after a discussion with Collins about his future 4/5 days later. We now know that Collins stated that he was basically past it! As I said Collins is a liar or he was told to let Killa go. He had no reason to exalt Killa in that interview, he could have just batted it away.

    Yeah but he's from Keighley so you can't really be angry with him.
