    No he knows what message this club wants to send out..."act cheap" it's been the party line for years. Act cheap and don't let fans go above their station. Make out we are poor.

    See people like you fall for it! You never question why the club isn't ambitious enough to improve on or of the pitch. Remember when Grayson and Warnock complained about training at a school the club went in to meltdown because the fans with business brains at Bradford City might start asking questions. The media don't ask questions. People like Parker and Jason might as well be on the clubs payroll.

    You're the perfect fan mate because you lack that willingness to succeed and improve. You're happy with the dirty toilets at the ground but the cost of food & drink at silly prices.

    You're just a happy fan..,perfect target audience!

    Do you know anyone with a minimum £10m to buy the Club then take it forward to L1 then £20 m to reach Championship AND compete? If so step forward I'm sure Stefan would be pleased to hear.

    Let's be blunt Roger. The club has no tangible assets to talk about. It doesn't own its own ground. It doesn't own its training facilities. I can't think of many of the current squad being sold for hard cash. It might possibly have some future add-ons from the McBurnie deal and possibly the Wisdom deal. But there's little beyond. So the notion of selling a 2nd division club without any significant assets for £10mill is for the birds. Stefan and his sidekick overpaid for the club when they bought it 3 years ago and since then we've dropped down a division. Even if we are promoted this season, I wouldn't imagine anybody would be willing to pay that level for a 1st division club with few if any saleable assets. On a good day, he might just get back what he paid for it.

    If it's Stefan's intention to sell the club even in the 1st division for no less than £10mill, imo he'll be waiting a long time for somebody to come along with that kind of money.

    10m to buy a league 2 club with no real assets is ridiculous. What has Rupp done to justify a 4m price increase from when he bought the club?

    Roger, are you stating publicly that price to buy Bradford City is £10million?
    If that’s the case then unless Stefan invests more of his cash then we don’t be seeing the Championship anytime soon.
    With that kind of ambition then why should fans back the club with no hope of reaching the higher leagues?

    I could be wrong but I think @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler was making a point that @Fordy117@Fordy117 is constantly shouting for Rupp to invest heavily or get out, yet there is no one waiting in the wings to invest that sort of money. Maybe 10m would be required to buy the club, build a new training ground, invest in infrastructure etc. The point is there isn't anyone.

    In fairness it was the opposite direction to the one we all thought.

    Not this again!!

    They're always potiental football owners waiting in the wings! Always! The issue is if a current owner wants to sell at a reasonable price.

    Rhodes and Lawn sold the club but really questions or demands should of been made on how the buyers were going to take the club forward in terms of assets but I suppose it's the FA that need to tighten up their laws on club takeovers.

    Investors are out there. Sunderland and others have shown this.

    What Bradford City and fans need to stop doing is believing we can't get better on or off the pitch or we will get nowhere!

    If Mr Rupp isn't willing to improve the club he needs to consider leaving or seeking investment.

    There may be people willing to buy the club, but are they also willing to make the additional ivestments you want. Do you know anyone?

    There has been interest in the club. But no one is willing to buy at 10m. | can’t blame them, its a ridiculous valuation

    Anyone wanting to buy the club would know further investment would have to dove tail with the purchase, because you certainly couldn't buy us to asset strip

    £150 season tickets, we got into a higher league under Phil Parkinson why not under Bowyer, maybe when we achieve league one status again Stefan will invest more into the club.
    He said he will try to rectify the situation Rahic got us into so for me that has got to be a top 6/8 club in league one, and even then IMO he wont get anywhere near £10 m.

    I don't thi k anyone believes the club is worth 10m. But maybe at least that would be needed to buy the club and make the investment in infrastructure and players some are asking for
