    ‪Where’s the new ideas ? Someone with no loyalty to anyone who can make them harsh decisions . It’s a cheap appointment and gives us absolutely nothing we didn’t already have ‬. Am sure Ryan’s are great bloke but this is just done on the cheap and could have been done months ago . Rupp get out the club

    It's Sparks.

    Let's see if he can show he has some balls.

    Fire McCall now and show that you are going to take this club by the scruff of the neck and drive it forward.

    This is actually funny, a few of us said it would be sparks, you can read Rhodes like a book.

    It's a brave move appointing a CEO younger than most of our forwards.

    With quite possibly more goal scoring prowess!

    Congratulations to Ryan he has done a great job commercially. So let’s judge him on how he goes about the job not on preconceived ideas about him.

    Our approach to improving the worst squad in living memory is not signing available players, and our approach to fixing a systemic failure in leadership is keeping the same leaders.

    Revolutionary.

    Further changes to come in the coming weeks and months according to the statement from the club and Rupp? Surely the time is now. Stop messing around. If Sparks has been doing the job for the last two months anyway, what are we waiting for ?

    Is the appointment with immediate effect? If so, we might (not holding my breath) see key announcements wrt an actual plan/strategy.

    We employed the under 17s bloke as the manager , now we’ve give the press officer the CEO job . Rupp should be ashamed of himself.

    This club is an absolute joke. Now is not the time to give one of the lads a chance to see if he can do it. We needed someone new with vision, with experience and success on his CV. Not the PR guy. Just because he “cares” doesn’t make him right for the job. This club won’t be getting a single penny off me from here on out, I can’t support this.

    In fairness, his comments about planning to run the club with transparency and better engagement with supporters is encouraging.

    You know, given that in his previous role as Communications Director he's not has that opportunity.

    Your last sentence is most worrying
    If he has been doing the job for the last few months
    Have you seen what's happened in the last few months
    Let's hope it's not carry on as normal

    Well good luck Ryan I hope it works for us all.
    Everyone at the club needs to step up for us to climb the league. Anyone not doing so just get rid .
    I dont think I can say "Marching on together " can I.
    Okay "up the football league we go "

    I get what you're saying there FB but just maybe, his predecessor was blocking some of that?

    (Not convinced that he is the right appointment though).

    Good old Bradford City.

    Utterly predictable and NEVER awe inspiring.
