    I couldn't argue with Rhodes and Rupp but McCall (he can't be that bad...Oh yes he is) also needs to go before he does a Scunthorpe on us.

    All of his own choosing, it took fans to make Stefan see the light and his first appointment was Julian because he trusted him.
    If the comments coming out of Valley Parade are true you wont have long to wait for Julian's replacement.

    What comments are they? Sounds like we will be waiting till the end of the season from the statements ive seen its a no rush policy. The cynic in me thinks that decision relates to 2021 season ticket sales and giving us this new hope (again).

    A replacement CEO for first mentioned by the club last autumn but nothing came of that. It was also referred to at the online fan's forum over three months ago. Has there been another announcement from the club since then to suggest it will be sooner rather than later?

    It has to be Rupp (if there’s a buyer out there) because the other two would probably follow.
    Just as he made a statement almost 2 years ago about righting the wrongs, it’s about time we heard from him again about the sh#t show that’s happening at the club right now. We’re regressing alarmingly and he needs to admit this isn’t for him, work hard to find a buyer but maintain current levels of support. Until he publicly puts the club up for sale, we’ll just keep going round the pan until we drop down the pipe....

    I thought I'd read there was a new CEO being identified after the last candidate took another appointment my mistake if it has not been quoted by the club, but with regards your "Rupp has been surrounded by charlatans" they were all Stefans appointments.

    If Rupp is here until he finds a buyer then he
    needs to go asap.We need an owner who has
    a plan and ambition for the club and funds to
    make it happen.

    Rhodes must see things have not gone well and
    I'm sure he would prefer someone taking over
    the responsibility.

    We keep going over same old stuff,club has no
    real assets but there is potential for an owner
    to benefit from what the club,fans and city of
    Bradford could achieve.Just find someone daft
    enough with a dream of being a local hero!

    Would you rather he dressed our present situation up, rather than tell it as it is with regards our current situation ?

    Good but the dancers need to go as well or pay more.

    The club lacks serious ambition and needs to up it's game. To do that it needs to be able to handle negativity which currently it can't.

    It's the worst club ever on that..It dances about making excuse after excuse.

    It was Rhodes that said in his interview the other week that he had identified his successor but that Rupp had asked him to wait a bit longer before appointing him. That's when the rumour that it's Sparks started to gather pace.
    I noticed the CA were tweeting strong hints last night about Jenkins though. Let's hope they are right.

    Who? Rupp or Rhodes?

    To be honest I think it would be hard to dress
    up our situation.The trouble we had with Rahic
    was common knowledge nationwide when it
    all came out.

    Rupp is a successful business man who made
    a fundamental business clanger and he may
    want to save face in not losing a packet on his
    investment.However,sometimes you have to cut
    your losses and move on.If he lost a couple of
    million it wouldn't cripple him and he could put
    his energy into other things.

    Rupp is a successful businessman but can he really say he's put his energy into making this successful?

    I question why he got involved in buying the club and why still he lacks energy for it.

    He has to go for me because this club needs work and it can't be done being LAZY!

    It's all frustrating because Rupp is a smart man but passing the book all the time isn't working for him..Edin, Rhodes etc Get more involved! If he doesn't want to then he needs to sell.

    Can't argue with any of that Fordy.

    If you're not really interested from
    the outset why bother?

    He has to go but only when there's
    Someone worthwhile ready to takeover.

    His money has kept us going and I appreciate
    his continued financial involvement but I
    would also appreciate him telling us what
    his long term intentions are or what he would
    like them to be.

    Rhodes with his recent comments with regards the club many suggesting we are treading water, in these present times that has got to be positive, and although there are no guarantees we wont go under I believe we have a far better chance than most with Rupp as owner.
