What can Rahic and Rupp still achieve from owning Bradford City? WOAP article

I know it’s from what is basically an amateur blog rather than a proper professional news outlet but there is a lack of journalist integrity to not mention 2009 was right in the financial crash which saw most companies have a downturn (and in some industries massive downturns) and then that by 2012 we were into recovery which saw most companies start to bounce back. It’s worse than Daily Mail level and that’s saying something, articles should be used to educated people not push an agenda harder by intentionally leaving things out so the reader doesn’t even have the chance to draw their own conclusions

Edit
Also looking at the turnover figures (couldn't find profits) it seems they were on the rise under Rahic as well with the new guy only jumping turnover by €10mill and they fel €60mill in his first full year. Profits could be completly different mind you but this kind of highlights the problem when an article is written without any of the authors own research

 

I get enough abuse on here without going over there

 

Rumours are a real problem when there is any unrest amongst a fan base. It's just so easy for people to say something they have made up and it to take hold without any basis in such an environment. Most people even if they wanted to just don't have the time or expertise to delve deeper so it's so easy to become 'fact'. It's one of the worst things about the internet really as it makes them spreading much easier and coupled with the level of professional journalism getting lower (The media needs more sensationalism to compete with social media and there is less fact-checking that goes on than before)

I know you aren't but the problem with those who take asking the box holders for the instalments they owe is it can be a case of 2+2=5. If the club is going to have to spend on transfers in Jan then they obviously will need money to do that, while the obvious way to fund it is to get rid of the surplus players at the club you can't guarantee you will get rid of them and even if you do it could be hours before the window shuts so if you are needing the money from them it limits the ability to bring people in. So being more aggressive at getting debtors to pay up sooner could be a sign of getting ready for Jan so the incoming is less reliant on getting people out the door asap

 

The same year you say profits fell by 77% turnover was higher though. It’s perfectly possible that there are reasons for it be it reinvestment into infrastructure or even something like paying off the previous MD. Certainly the fact profits fell by 77% and then returned to almost the exact amount a year later does suggests it’s some form of exceptional cost. There needs to be more information to really draw a conclusion on it
