Andy Todd, Stefan Rupp & City's Financial Position

The player should have the final say where he plays regardless of his agent
It will do neither any good if the agent forces the player to sign for a club as his second choice

 

Don't think we are playing the poor man
I think we are the poor man

 

Managing expectations you say?

Well we've just been relegated but 13k fans will demand pomotion next season no matter what Bowyer, @wetherbywhaler @Glenn Ackroyd or anyone else says within the club.

It just makes it sound that Mr Rupp has no interest in Bradford City and the club is struggling financially.

Don't sell cheap season tickets and try to get good sponsorship deals then make out we don't have a pot to pi&& in because that just makes it harder to do good deals with businesses.

If Mr Rupp has no interest in the club he needs to feck off it's so so simple.

 

Well from Bowyers talk today it appears as if those who have been brought in to look at cost cutting at the club so that it is more attractive to potential purchasers have made their first decision.

 

Poor old Bowyer, wanted to get Valley Parade rocking next season,

what a load of bollox, no Todd AND a fitness coach.

Need to compete with the teams that are trying to get out of L2.

Or just drift.

Guess we know now, how the club want to go.

 

How on earth are we hoping to attract the caliber of player to get us out of L2 and consolidate in L1 when we are getting rid of the managers chosen back room staff
And openly stating in the local press that Fylde could well be stiff competition
After the amazing season ticket sales
We should be kicking on and selling the club to any player,agent ,fan prospective investor, sponsor who will listen
Deary me our PR has hit a new low

 

100% this.

 

Ive been saying it all along. Rupp is as much to blame as Edin. Hes sat in Germany with the club as a burden around his neck. He has to sell asap. We should never have cancelled the protests or flyover. We shouldn't just be accepting this. It's too late now and we have to see how the summer goes.
Some of you jumped all over me when I said as a fanbase we have far too much empathy.
Owners up and down the country will be in contact with fans, giving updates and trying to be positive for the season ahead. We have had 2 coaches leave with not much explanation, the manager coming out saying Salford have more money than we do and nothing from the people running the show. Its beyond embarrassing.

 

**WINNER**

 

There are some on here suggesting Rupp should feck off, or move on if he isn't prepared to dig deep. Then what? Who are these multi-millionaire local businessmen chomping at the but to inject millions? Is it you Fordy?
I don't think Rupp is the man for the job but at the moment I have no idea what the alternative could be.

 

In a nutshell

 

Agree. I knew @JonButterfield shouldn't of backed down and I feel Mr Rupp name should of been on the banner.

Start the engines...

 

And you never until things come out that's how buying businesses work.

I read a Chinese businessman is interested in buying Bolton.

Someone, will always buy a football club.

 

Understand and appreciate the sensitivity about the release date of the club changing "Beer Festival" and how press releases have to be considered am sorry but can't say a lot of thought about releasing that Flyde could be a danger to us and how disappointed GB is that Todd has left can be seen as a positive You may well have lots of things planned to aid the future of the club(sincerely hope so) but at the moment it's all depressing

 

To be fair he said he was sad he was leaving but understood the reasons. There is a difference

 

Oh Dear

 

You can’t polish a turd

 

@Glenn Ackroyd whilst I fully understand our sensitivity around the annual memorial week, I do think an official announcement after we were relegated with a timetable on what is happening with statements on planning short term and long term after this week I also don’t think it is right that Todd and Anton leaving should have been announced and could have been delayed until next week. Not to mention GB statement today of all days. This should be a day of remembrance. Please convey my absolute dissatisfaction with communication towards the fans from the club. .

 

After watching the league 2 playoffs the past couple of nights if we can't afford to compete with that level of dire football then there's no point in us even playing.

 

I get your point but surely anyone with an interest in the club will realise that probably Rupp will jump at any realistic offer. I'll pass on the Chinaman by the way
