    In light of the last two seasons, if we only lose 500k we're going in the right direction and would be a small loss in the situaion football finds itself in.

    If the players we bring in are loan players, I'm guessing we won't be responsible for paying their wages if the season is put on hold or abandoned, as they will just return to their parent clubs. That could mean we will be left in a better position financially than a lot of other clubs, albeit more by accident than design.

    Probably one of the many we've missed out on.

    I would argue that it is more than a City, it is a vast Metropolitan District which includes Significant towns such as Shipley, Bingley, Keighley, Ilkley, and substantial villages such as Baildon, Eldwick, Thornton, Denholme, Cullingworth, Queensbury, Menston, Burley in Wharfedale, Addingham, Steeton, Silsden, Howarth and Oxenhope.

    I would guess that a substantial number of supporters, live outside the old City boundaries and in the greater metropolitan district.

    Clubs like us with the iFollow trillions shouldn't be bothered about positions.

    It's beneath us.

    So, FGR regular right back was ruled out for a long spell on Monday this week, 2 days later they have a decent replacement in. Strange how we have struggled to bring a right back in since releasing 3 others months ago

    The sort of move that shows we're either not interested or incapable of improving our squad.

    Presumably he wasnt offered to us.

    I read it as £500k less income rather than losing £500k, I am also of the opinion though that Sparks might not have the best grasp of how the finances of a business work.
    Whilst City might well see the season out, I don’t think Rupp will see the club fail, I’d be surprised if all the other 23 clubs in league two make it without government or PL support and I’m not sure either will help. They’re too self interested.

    I also read it like that, it's "potential revenue", and thought that in the scheme of things, that's not too bad at all. The great thing about "potential revenue", is that you don't lose anything by trying different ideas to make up the shortfall either! Get cracked on Ryan! Here's a quick one for you for starters - a virtual matchday program, downloadable from the City app, for just a few quid. Might earn a few bob.

    That was my interpretation as well. And if that's the full extent of our loss of income, we've got off lightly as I posted. I guess with the salary cap and the departure of some high earners, we'll be saving at least that on the playing budget. But then I don't believe Sparks' view is the correct one judging from how other clubs have responded. It would be good to hear from somebody with a better grasp of the club's finances on the true position. I'm not going to hold my breath though since I'm far from convinced that's how JR likes to interact with the club's fans.

    My concern is Bradford City and Ryan have turned in to lets be positive and not tell it straight. I agree I fully believe that Ryan has got it mighty wrong here. Massively.

    I believe considering Rupp had LOANED us 1m plus that we were always not going to do much this transfer window. Rhodes will be concentrating on getting Rupp his loan back.

    Rhodes as CEO and a financial man needs to come out honestly and talk to the fans now. I have said it before that at times the fans need to here from Rhodes and Rupp and this is one of them.

    I think having a current PL player as a shareholder helps

    Honestly mate, I can't say what Rupp would do. He has taken a massive hit since buying the club.
