    So you honestly think we will be Mid Table by May? You only posted that bold statement 30 days ago.

    Despite your unbridled optimism, we have sunk to the bottom (worst performers out of 92) and the owners have called in Rhodes. In April we will only be in April! We are already falling so far behind.

    I genuinely hope you are correct, but quite frankly, that 'gung ho' optimism, is totally misplaced.

    I guess the credibility of posters and their ability to learn, is something I find interesting.

    I had thought we would be mid table this season, before a ball was kicked. However I have taken into account events since then, and now I am deeply concerned.

    I have revised my initial view and now agree with Julian Rhodes and his comment, '“David’s brief is let us finish 20th this season...'. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/17202963.bradford-city-former-chairman-back-to-help-revive-clubs-fortunes/

    But you think he is unduly pessimistic?

    Wetherby Whaler is right in saying there is nothing official. But wrong if he says Rhodes hasn't been a source of advice in an unofficial capacity

    They had the benefit of Rhodes's advice after the takeover for free and chose not to take it.

    With this level of stupidity, they are capable of anything mate. They are certainly stupid enough on the evidence up to now to try to fob us off with a stunt. Not saying that's what it is but it's a possibility.

    JR wouldn’t get involved in a stunt and if it looks like it might be he will be gone would be my view.

    I'm in no doubt that's true Onside. If they can lie to us they can lie to Julian.

    I personally don't think it's a stunt. I think it's the last throw of the dice by desperate men totally out of their depth. Assuming it's well intentioned, it's way too late in all probability.

    Agree. I think he has been offered plenty of good advice, but he wasn’t prepared to listen, or wouldn’t act on it. Now the owners have completely lost the plot, they have turned back to Julian.

    For me this isn’t about being a good Bradford City man, which of course is true, it’s about how to run a football club and not alienate the fans. You don’t have to come from Bradford to do that.

    I hope Julian can influence them that there is a time to be economical and a time to invest. I hope we have heard the end of the budget reduction right across the board.

    Good Luck Julian you will need it.

    I would hope so, only the weather can postpone it I would think.
    I understand @Park bantam@Park bantam is doing his "wind dance" similar to a rain dance just a few different moves and of course a different chant whilst dancing ;).

    With the weather not looking like it will get any better between now and maybe March, do you think it might be best to attach the banner to a car that could be driven up and down Manningham Lane instead?
