    Sad to see you cracking and resorting to insults, but it's frustrating trying to respond to everyone who has a contrary view.

    Rahic must go for the sake of this club and fan base.

    But he wasn't trying to prove anyone wrong. Is that hard for you to comprehend?

    He is trying to prove its wrong to complain because unless people have vast sums of money, nothing will change.

    Given so many are complaining, I'm pretty sure he's trying to prove they're doing the wrong thing.

    It's very easy for me to comprehend that :thumbup:

    Its a true and very clear statement.

    "Get your hand in your pocket then, whinging on here won't get anyone out."

    I know. He's saying 'stop whinging'.

    Ergo whinging is wrong.

    Even being pointlessly pedantic about the sentence doesn't change what the sentence actually means.

    How do you know, out of interest?

    I hadn't heard that.

    He doesn't although if he keeps repeating it enough others might start believing him.

    It doesn't say stop whinging. Once you can learn to read we can take you more seriously. Paraphrasing is sloppy.

    So he's encouraging whinging?

    Man, I totally didn't get that!

    Never wanted them in ! and wanted them out before and after Shrewsbury ...that was a "false flag" as far as I'm concerned. Wasn't aware it was "compulsory" to post all my views on here. !?

    If Rahic continues as he is we wont have a football club but importantly that feck wit will have nothing of his investment.

    The solution depends on what you want as an outcome.

    You tell me what you'd like as an outcome, and maybe we can work something out to get there.

    For me, I'd like a successful Bradford City side.

    The best way to achieve that as a chairman, in my view, is to hire an excellent manager who has a long-term strategy, and back him to the hilt (I don't mean financially, necessarily, I mean support him and his decision making).

    By getting everybody singing from the same hymn sheet, you have a solid chance of success, particularly if you are a quote-unquote 'big club' that can out-compete others in the transfer market and for big names. There is one crystal clear strategy conceived by one very talented individual working alongside people he trusts in an industry he is an expert in.

    It's not a guarantee of success, but it's reasonable, and it's what happened with Lawn and Rhodes in charge and Phil Parkinson as manager.

    There was little doubt who was making the key decisions in the transfer market, strategising, and even controlling media output (Parky was infamous for telling the radio broadcast teams what they could and couldn't ask, occasionally to the frustration of fans).

    In order to do that, Rahic needs to behave more like Rhodes and Lawn - ie, a peripheral figure, even if occasionally outspoken. Yes, he'll ultimately sign off on deals or he won't, and yes, he'll still have final say, but no, he won't be running the club in the absence of a manager (forget the head coach crock of crap), organising piss poor preseason campaigns, or working alongside any ridiculous transfer committee (it's League One, too many cooks spoil the broth).

    If Rahic is incapable of working in a 'hands off' fashion, he needs to either leave, or dramatically improve his input, because thus far, Rahic's performance has been utterly disastrous. He has been worse for this club than the whole Archie Christie/Peter Jackson rubbish, and we have only gone backwards under his stewardship. If he was 'employed', he'd have been sacked by now.

    Basically, whatever it takes to silence Rahic and his gross ineptitude will only benefit this club. He doesn't have the first clue what he's doing.

    Once Rahic is well and truly in the background, there will be hope. Until then, we're on a downward spiral. The man is useless.

    His mind was made up, but for me we should have bend over backwards to persuade Stephen Warnock to sign a one-year Contract, make him Captain and have a say in team selection. Like Killgallon, he would have the respect of all the players. He was by far the best footballer at the Club last season and his experience and leadership would have pulled this lot together. Also Charlie Wyke should have been persuaded to stay and partner Doyle up front. Josh Wright is not good enough to marshall the midfield let alone Captain the side, a Gary Jones-type midfielder should have been a priority. Rant over.

    We have gone backwards under Rahic after year on year improvements and that’s with more money to spend. That’s a spectacular feck up.
