    Laughable.

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

    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

    I would take what the deluded Newcastle fans say with a pinch of salt. They may think they are Real Madrid or Bayern but they are not a big club, their natural level is at the best lower half of the PL and they are in an area of the country they have to give players stupid amounts for their quality to join as Newcastle as far as most players are concerned may as well be in Timbuktu (Infact I suspect many players would choose Timbuktu over Newcastle as at least its hot). Foreign players largely want to be as close to London as possible, the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool have had trouble persuading some players to pick them over London clubs due to that and Cheshire is much nicer prospect than Northumberland.

    It's also not a great place to attract sponsors for, it's part of the reason Ashley has often had his own companies sponsor them as there weren't better external offers, even he only could justify the amount his companies gave because having the same owner as the sponsor does bring some extra benefits that an external sponsor doesn't have.

    He ultimately spent a decent amount through most of his ownership in comparison to many PL clubs and but did so in a way that didn't plunge them into crisis if they got relegated like happens with many clubs even when they have the parachute payments. As long as you lot weren't expecting to be in the PL in 4 seasons and top 4 in the first season with hundreds of millions spent on superstars he probably wouldn't be a bad owner for you.

    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 !

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

    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.

    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.
