    The one win in twenty was in league one after he took us to a major cup final and promotion hence the slack he got

    Just stop please!

    Ok, don’t you think my no that the manager should be able to get back to back wins?

    Please tell me what you see for us to give him time?

    Parky went on a cup run. It’s totally different.

    If you are scared or change just say! Admit it to yourself but mate nothing to be scared of but when it’s clear someone is failing then get rid. We haven’t got time to waste.

    You're a funny fellow Fordy. You slag everyone else on this forum for being dancers ( and what the xxxx is that?), happy clappers and weak minded. You demand we should organize and throw out the current owner and management. But you remain the worst bloody example of ranter who refuses to take up any responsibility for trying to lead a change. You're the dancer mate. Whenever anyone has asked you to front up and lead a challenge, you sink back into...it's for everyone else to do. I used to have some respect for some of your views and opinions. But I can have no respect for your abdication of responsibility when you demand change, but do xxxx all to make it happen. And then blame lack of change on the rest of us. Man up, lad! If you really care, start a movement for change. Otherwise, you're just a sad whinger who hasn't the bottle to front up for his beliefs.

    One man isn’t going to solve this mess. We all need to come together.

    Yes, ok I will tell it as it is that a high percentage of people from Bradford are too passive and accept shite like you are in the gutter!

    Demand better! None of this we are lucky to have a club loser mentality.

    We need to start highlighting to Sparks, Rupp and Adams we won’t put up with this rubbish. That simple.

    The club even plan the loan market to laugh at fans. Let make loan signings in Jan to show we are active but let’s not buy these suckers won’t realise what we are doing!

    The joke is on us fans and I am not laughing.

    You could make a difference actually, you claim you are a man of wealth so pay for a fly over during a match. When Arsenal wanted Wenger out they did it and it genuinely galvanised the fans in that direction. Probably less than 1 percent of our fan base read this forum, it’s not a general outlook of our overall fan base, so show us the money and get one arranged so we can see what the fan base actually think. Who knows they might all start chanting Rupp out which I’ve never heard before and that may put pressure on for further action such as protests.

    Put up or shut up. Don’t call other fans out when you do nothing yourself. Dancer.

    So if you're not laughing why aren't you starting that movement you feel should happen? It's ok being a complainer - but what will YOU do to be a part of the solution? I'm sorry Fordy, but you're a dancer.

    I gave up my ST 3 seasons ago. The kids were bored, the football and results awful and the club were directionless. Nothing has changed yet. I want the club ownership to change and the team to be a 100% hard working team. Until such time we'll stick to the ice hockey. Cheaper, more competitive and most of all honest. Brilliant.

    Lead us to the promised land of League 1 and beyond.

    Stop telling us what needs doing and just go and DO IT.

    Stop backtracking behind your midgets.

    Tell us where the first RUPP OUT meeting is planned for and see how many turn up to support you.

    Or do what scargill did. Scream, shout, threaten, then go into hiding when he realised no one was listening anymore

    Banners, flyovers, fan protests, none will work for a bloke who is never at games because he won’t see them.
    It might have been @Dennis@Dennis who said it, and maybe I’m paraphrasing him slightly, but the only way to make Rupp sit up and notice is to stop buying tickets, merchandise, sponsorship etc. At the moment the club is costing him nothing, he can largely ignore it, let Sparks get on with running it and check in once a month or whatever. There is zero incentive for him to sell. Stop spending money and then he’s got to dig into his pockets to make up the shortfall. That’s when he’ll listen.

    Oh, and good luck getting a fan base half of who are terrified of Rupp leaving and the other half who want him gone to unite behind any cause.

    Unless a miracle happens and we somehow start to look competent and get top 7 as promised, for the first time in 26 years I won’t be buying a season ticket next season, unless Rupp sells up of course.

    As you say it’s the only way to let him know what we think of him by hitting him in the pocket.
