    £114k spent in agents fees last season, the most in the whole league.

    Money well spent, I’m sure you’d all agree. We are are truly blessed to have such good people running the club, special shout out to Captain Admin, couldn’t have done it without him. Make sure you all donate your season ticket returns back to the club, those agents fees don’t pay for themselves.

    Further evidence that the recruitment department down at VP towers is working swimmingly.

    Keep on saying the club needs a Sporting Director but no we appoint a communications director because Rhodes is scared to talk.

    Captain Admin reporting to duty!

    I've seen the details for PL clubs - which makes interesting reading on the scale of it! - but nothing about individual EFL clubs. Have you a link to the info?

    Is that the same “Captain Admin” as you put it who has engineered deals such as the one for McBurnie who many described as crap and has well and truly but us in a better position than most to survive this crisis

    1 deal.. bloody hell.

    He's a shocking CEO.. we are div 2 club! He's brain will be exploding at the minute because he won't be able to think of creative ways to move the club forward.

    He's still here when he was meant to be leaving .. Captain Admin reporting to duty.

    To be fair to Rhodes, the McBurnie deal has all but saved Rupps arse and the immediate future of the club. Don't get me wrong, there is an element of luck in any transfer dealings, we've never been indirectly involved in a transfer anywhere near the amount that McBurnie moved for. I think most were expecting a transfer in the region of half of what he went for and that we would receive a windfall if we were lucky. I don't think we will recieve that sort of money for a player ever again.

    Manchester United are so incredibly poor considering their resources.

    Almost laughable.

    Such as?

    Rhodes being here highlights to me that Rupp isn't serious about Bradford City at all...Not serious about this club one bit.

    Who would you have hired instead of Rhodes?

    Oh come on pal. I don't know.

    This is a CEO position and Rupp should have his own team. If he hasn't got his own team then he should be scouting the footballing world for one or businesses in the Uk.

    Captain Admin isn't the answer and never has been. Loves the club but so do you! Means nothing to me that..I said if Bowyer failed then Rhodes needs to go and I stand by that. His day is done.

    Hire Ryan as CEO if Rupp likes but Rhodes needs to go!.

    He hired Rhodes because he needed someone who represented and understood the club to undo the dreadful harm Rahic had done.

    I'm not sure there was a better candidate.

    He could have hired someone based on a CV and an interview, but that didn't go so well with Edin, did it?

    Rupp doesn't know football, so is best not making huge decisions like who to hire instead of a man who has done it all before.

    Sorry mate this Rupp doesn't know football rubbish needs to urgently stop. He got into the game and I suppose he got into it to make money.

    He needs now to hire his own team or have his own people around him. Rhodes knows how to run a football club but Rupp needs it to move forward, a progress not Captain Admin at the wheel going nowhere.

    Next move is it to move Stuart upstairs to Director of Football.

    Wouldn't mind that.

    Everything Rupp has done so far hasn't worked for us. Period.

    Maybe, he needs to be more involved himself..I don't know but Rhodes is taking us nowhere.

    Football clubs spending obscene money on agents and players. Not exactly shocking news.

    As fans, we have assisted hugely in facilitating this obscene culture...
