    Nah! Maybe those who were saying that Administration was imminent were right all along ;)

    There is nothing in this word would motivate me to support this idiotic shambles. ( I note Rupp and Rahic weren’t bothered about it going ahead). Instead of wasting money on this stuff I will put extra money into the Burns unit

    And overnight lose his own 77% share of the original investment? That's a very sensible business decision!

    Me too pal. As soon as the news is official and on the club website I’ll be at the next home game.

    Give it up, you've lost. Your little hero is off never to be seen again. I didn't contribute but have nothing but praise for those that put it together, and the fact the club were desperate for it not to go ahead against Oxford tells a story.

    You deserve to support a f*cked team for your wumming alone, against supposed fellow fans.

    Luckily for the rest of us the future is starting to look brighter again, and we may finally have an owner who lets football people actually get on with their jobs.

    Park, what are your opinions on Rahic and Rupp? You're constantly having a go at the fans but never the people who got us into this mess.

    Weird that.

    WUM. I have supported this club for more than half it’s existence. And if we had supporters holding flyovers every time we had a bad chairman we would have advanced global warming fifty per cent by now.
    And the way Saturday went showed we were better off without it.

    I don't think you understand the consequences of a company going into Admin from the owners' perspective. Rupp would lose everything and gain nothing.

    good for you.

    idiotic shambles you may call it, but like it or not, it's forced change.

    your idea of sitting down and having a nice pot of tea with Edin and talking it through wouldn't.
    sitting down with the supporters trust hasn't.
    an interview with Bantams Banter hasn't
    WOAP publishing interviews with McCall, and writing critical articles hasn't
    James Mason leaving didn't force change, infact he left exactly because he COULDN'T force change even from his position!

    but this HAS. 64 people from a fan forum and a start-up protest group have managed to make a difference. and it shows folk like you and other detractors that we aren't and weren't "all talk" - we stood up and did something, and its worked.

    you can thank us later, because if we'd continued down your path, and carried on supporting and encouraging that absolute moron we'd most certainly be staring right down the barrel of liquidation of the club as we know it today.

    now we might just have a fighting chance of recovery from the absolute shit creek Rahic has left us up, because our action has forced Rupp to ring Julian and tell him to bring his paddle.

    I assume from your comment you were a creditor in the last Admin. Creditors might well have received a penny in the pound which was appalling. But equity holders, ie shareholders, lost their entire shareholding.

    Wrong what has made a difference is our league position and the threat of imminent relegation.

    imminent relegation? i thought you were convinced we'd be okay?
    you had us down as comfortable mid table didn't you.
    after all, Rahic has a sound plan and it just needs the players to gell. and we win when Bruenker plays, don't we?

    i doubt its that given that we were never in threat of going down, Park.

    Don’t you understand the word threat. If we play the way we did the three matches before Luton where we had no centre halves I still think we can stay up,Don’t you. Second thoughts don't answer I know the answer. With your mentality we are down already.

    So why on earth was @JonButterfield@JonButterfield put under pressure to call it off? It seems someone at City was very very keen for the Fly Past to be cancelled! How did you actually ‘note it’?

    Using your logic you'd get a handful of chairmen leaving every odd due to their clubs poor league position. There are usually a number of factors involved and I have no doubt that fan pressure is one.

    You've also not answered my above question?
