    I'm sure there's a Bradfordian Ann Budge equivalent ready to buy Herr Rupp out and run the club for seven years while the fans raise the funds.

    thing is Trevor nobody will come out and say a thing till next summer at the earliest when hopefully a big majority of this lot are gone ........... Adams must somehow keep these lot onside till he can start shifting them out ........ I bet he’s dying to let everyone out there the ins and outs but he cannot do that and these weaklings probably know that

    I got talking to a few folk yesterday and they are if the mindset that he needs two windows to get rid .................. we either get behind him and let him turn this squad around because you think the next manager will do anything with that lot then we really are in bother

    I don’t think this lot will do any better under a new manager but I don’t have any faith in Adams sorting it out either.

    When is the fans forum? Sparks and co must be knackered throwing all the angry emails in the bin and sorting the good ones into a (small) neat pile.

    Fan ownership? Half our fans couldn’t get their heads around cashless payments, half want to spend our way out of league one, the rest would be happy in the National League North as long as they could pay cash and sit in the same seats each week.

    Can you imagine Fordy and Manny Dominguez having input into the running of the club?

    That’s once you’ve raised £7m or so from some of the most apathetic fans in football and agreed a funding model for the inevitable losses once we’ve bought the ground, built a training ground, signed Billy Sharp or moved to Halifax. Taking our seats with us.

    You are behind the times. We are moving to Bury now.

    We'll probably end up with two separate splinter fan-owned clubs. AFC Bradford City (Halifax) and Bradford City AFC playing in Bury.

    The "derbies" in the Evostick league will be intense.

    Your probably correct Mike Hearts where helped by a 73 year old business woman who took the club out of administration in 2014 and handed it over last August to Foundation of Hearts Group.
    Maybe Wetherby Whaler and his crew can sort something .

    I was reading one of the FB pages the other day, just some random thread after the Scunthorpe game, and goodness me, no two fans had the same complaint. Unironically people were completely contradicting each other on who to blame just because they wanted to stick the knife into their least favourite person at the club.

    I can't imagine a way to unite our support base's thoughts and get them to focus on specific issues. It's like a constant stream of consciousness/verbal diarrhoea.

    What is it about Facebook that brings out the stupid in people? The city Facebook group has loads of them, I’d be surprised if some of them can find their arse with both hands.

    It’s like the local Facebook page
    NE1 no Y the poliS helicopter is hoVerIng?

    Probably in the olden days the village idiot would say to someone they passed in the street on the way to the co-op 'Why is the police helicopter up there?', and the other person who was normal and had nothing to do with it and couldn't give a toss would shrug and ignore them as hard as they possibly could.

    But now all those exciting questions and commentary are amplified and immortal. What a time to be alive.

    Dour Scot, Dour football, if we only sign players from his old clubs in January then the Doc is back.

    Time for Rupp to come out of hiding and tell the people of Bradford how he is backing up his promises to repair the damage he helped cause.

    On the bright side it’s going to be great without City to ruin our weekend this week!

    From what I've seen so far, Docherty was a far better manager than Adams.

    I liked Torpey. Even if we did attach blow up carrots to the fencing in the Swansea away end. He was limited but honest.
