    Just reading that ex-Newcastle supremo Mike Ashley is looking at staying involved in football !. With some of his £300m Geordie Jackpot ! .to invest Derby is rumoured to be a target. Is it not incumbant of Rupp & Sparky who have frankly taken us 'as far as" they are capable to make contact with Ashley & Co and at least have a go at selling them the club ?. Surely we represent the epitomy of "the fallen giant" with a "captive" audience of 15000 and easily as much potential on the pitch and commercially as Derby ? We need to get the message out surely if there is even a sniff of a chance to get Ashley to look at us ?

    Good point but doubt he will drop this low in the leagues unless he wants another "project" to work on.

    Laughable.

    There is no money to be made out of Bradford City.

    Agree entirely Outsider, as I always say - there is no harm in asking.
    The word 'NO' never hurt anyone. If you don't ask, you don't get.

    On reflection your probably right ? No ground; no playing assets, no training facilities, hemmed in down Manningham one of the most in hospitable of inhospitable Bradford areas, in fact theres absolutely zero going for this club apart from you and I the fans ! Note to Mike Ashley dont bother buy Derby !

    Well unfortunately we are nothing now as a club.

    The fans are club but unfortunately some of the fans can’t bring themselves into modern football.

    @Bronco@Bronco talking in a another thread why Turnbull was sacked. The biggest thing that he should have been talking about in terms of this is why a club with no assets didn’t have scouts covering the main areas of the UK already.

    The club is a joke. Adams will crush this lazy lazy board and get us in the 2021 or he will leave.

    Boy we need a new owner though. Full of dancers at this club.

    He wouldn't put any more in than Stefan

    He'd only spend what the club brought in

    But at least he might attend games eh

    If you think Ashley would spunk £30 - £40 million on upgrading our facilities you've lost the plot. All fantasy anyway of course because there's zero chance of him taking over

    Investment you say.. Bradford City fans don't want investment.

    Besides, Ashley will buy derby for a £1;)

    We need another Geoffrey Richmond to buy the club, He would build us another brand new stadium and top players all on borrowed money
