BBC Radio Leeds Fans 'Forum' 7th Feb 6-7pm

More budget can't make our promotion chances any worse. Like I know they would spend it inefficiently, but they are not incompetent enough to create a worse squad for more money.

 

Sparks answered the question in that he made sounds with his mouth. But the sounds were general cliches that told us nothing and filled up time just like the rest of the answers. "We will consider anything to improve the club'/'it has been considered before'/etc.

 

Have you been spying on me??

 

You've more faith in them than I have then.

 

I need convincing on that one tbh....

 

Chucking more money at Status Quo will see us go 'Down Down'

 

Both.

 

Is that what you're proposing?

 

I get the Director of Football thing, but based on experience what makes anyone think we wouldn't appoint a crap DOF.

 

Good shout!

 

And Rupp loses everything he's invested in Bradford City be it £4/5/6million we may not like what's he's doing or not doing in our case, but he wasn't lucky obtaining a reputed wealth of £100million, we'll have to disagree on this one @BantamJ.

 

Certainly not going to be rupping all over the world with the current status quo

 

Deeper and down, our we could be down the dustpipe.

 

24 hrs later and am still trying but failing to find a positive from last night's "Fans Forum"
Suspect am not alone but if anyone has one I would love to hear it @Park bantam excluding
It confirmed to me the hierarchy need to go or we really don't have a future
Is there any other club amongst the 92 who have the mentality of sustainability over progression even the lower league/pub teams believe at the start of the season they are going to win more than a pat on the back from the owner for him not having to put his hand in his pocket
We really are in dire straits season ticket sales will undoubtedly drop regardless of any spin applied to them an appearance at Wembley in the tin pot cup final ain't kidding/impressing many
I firmly believe next season with a reduced budget will see us hovering just above the relegation spots failure in many eyes whilst we maintain sustainability success in management eyes, there has never been a gap so big between the two
I have no idea how to change things other than starve the sustainability mantra with a lack of cash and not buy season tickets in the hope that once SR realises he's lost his last and only asset he would seriously consider offloading at a realistic price
Depressing I know but when sustainability is mentioned I automatically think unambitious stagnation but there again the whole club is geared up for it and the occupants of the "top table" just aren't good enough to take us forward anyway
So So Sad !!!!

 

Ask him forty-five hundred times.

 

Sorry to say but I don't think Ryan left fans in any doubt what Rupps priorities are, and it doesn't sound like his priorities are league one.

 

Just heightened the disconnect between club and fans or maybe RS deflecting some of the culpability for our plight away from his own doorstep who knows
Be interesting to know what the dynamic trio thought of the (non) event tho

 

You really trust that lot to spend it in the right manner ?????

When your giving the likes of Derbyshire an 18 momth deal then you can see where the issue really lies

When your giving Oliver a 3 year deal a player that was never suited to our style of play then you know where the issue lies

I like the majority of folk would happily pay the extra if it was going to a better good a promotion push

But when its making the life easier of a Twit who couldnt care less then fook him.

Let the Twit feel how we feel pumping money in to make club sustainable.

 

Yes he said it had been discussed and considered and he hadn’t ruled it out in the future. That is a none answer we are not allowed to know why it was ruled out. Saying it might be considered in the future is the proverbial kicking into the long grass.

 

If you put STs up to £400 next season we wouldn’t shift more than 8/9,000.

last season, after finishing in the playoffs, was the season to do it.

It would be suicidal now at a time thousands are dissatisfied with Rupp and Sparks and we have dropped from 6th to 18th.

timing is everything with marketing. I agree the prices need to go up at some point but the timing right now would be horrendous.
