There are a few people who I think are no longer trying to actually debate, but are just arguing for the sake of it - probably to test their skills more than anything else.

Pro Rahic arguments at this stage need to be taken with a huge pinch of salt, particularly because when people get pinned down by facts, they say stuff like 'I'm not saying Rahic has done a good job' - basically admitting they have no actual point to make, just an ongoing series of self-defeating arguments.

 

He made it pretty plain during his interview with Tom & Dom, it's my way or the highway.
And with regards employees giving advice @wetherbywhaler openly posted on this forum Edin does not want to take advice from others who have valuable experiences in different aspects of running a football club, James Mason having to resign because his position became untenable.

 

TBF Jon, I don't think there's a debate to be had now, the evidence is there to see.

 

Er hang on a mo. Reading all that tells me you don’t exactly know what’s going on as I to listened to the Tom and Dom Interview and I cant remember the ‘ Its my way or highway ‘ quote ? Also you mention the Wetherby Whaler as regards employees giving advice ???? Is he an employee then ????? Oh and James Masons position became untenable did it ??? How do you know that then ????

Just asking and will be interested in your answers

 

One question marks enough

 

Nope all needs to be answered please as imo
People make a lot of assumptions which are not totally correct.

 

That’s the easy way out !!!!

 

I get the impression that JR's first piece of consultancy has been telling Edin to keep a very low profile for the foreseeable future. But, what I want to hear is that he's either gone back to Germany of his own volition, or Rupp has relieved him of his duties, for good.

I don't want to be considering buying a season ticket in 2019, regardless of the division the club's in, without knowing that the Rahic era at Bradford City is truly a thing of the past. I think there's been a few things happening behind the scenes, like JR's appointment and Hendrie's T&A article, that were primarily an attempt at quelling the snowballing anti Rahic feeling amongst the fanbase. The supporters deserve to know what's happening, if anything.

 

Always happy to rely.
With regards the Tom & Dom interview Edin said he wants everyone pulling in the same direction or leave, my interpretation of "my way or the highway".
With regards @wetherbywhaler comment I never said he was an employee ?, what I said was "Edin does not want to take advice from others who have valuable experiences in different aspects of running a football club" he had experience at boardroom level under the last owners.
With regards James Masons job becoming untenable how do I know that, because he told me.

 

Wetherby whaler is a former director and is very much in the know!

 

Just on the wind up are we? Because you obviously don't read here or listen to broadcasts or social media. I think it may have also been said by Edin at one of the fans forums about being with him or there is the door...too late for me to start searching clips...
Wetherby Whaler was a former Board Member, former director of Morrison's, still club ambassador and was James Mason 's mentor. He said after James resigned that he had been working under increasingly difficult conditions. If he posts you have to respect what he says. Mason said as much in the interview with Parker. Bronco said Mason told him so. Chap on end of my row in kop who was at Darby night said he had spoken to James and I posted previously when asked if he wanted to leave he said did I f@@k...

But hey keep denying what has happened...like an ostrich...

 

Well it looks like Rahic is still very much here! His satellites are still circulating and still insisting everything is fine!

 

It's no assumption we were top 6 when he started running the club and we're 7 points adrift at the foot of the table now, still under his leadership. That my friend is fact.

 

Nice perspective. I agree with your last line. I do think the appointment of Collins and a lack of attention to a fitness coach was far more of a reason for our decline, which of course he's responsible for

As we're seeing a soon a manager stands up to him, he interfere's less (similar occurred when Grayson was around and we hardly heard from him). Let's be honest the main interference occurred during McCall's time, where neither trusted each other and hence that's going to wrongly get a Chairman 'putting his nose in' more than he should

My point is, it's more a less a thing of the past. A very painful lesson though

 

McCall: interfered loads
Grayson: didn't seem to interfere
Collins: interfered more than ever in all aspects
Hopkin: doesn't seem to have interfered

I can see a few patterns, and some conclusions can be drawn. But how can you possibly conclude from that that interference is a thing of the past?

 

Well said. That is all the evidence we need to say he is incapable. That and all the changes in personnel, managers and players.

 

Rhodes been in 2 weeks and made the decisions on loads of stuff and in his words...'we're in a mess.' What does that tell you? Edin knows Jack s@@t about running a football club. He hides when times are bad, running away from things. Rhodes comes in and we have 750 @ Posh because of the initiative and have sold 2k extra tickets for Oxford.

Mr I know football didn't do that. Doesn't attend games, spineless!!

 

Make it 8 with our goal difference....

 

Very small % Goosey still saying it's rubbish, I'd estimate one clown per thousand fans.
