Match Thread Away v Harrogate Sat 5 Feb @ 1.00pm

So as i said earlier in the thread . Mr Rupp is taking money out of the club one way or another, to the tune of £300k per annum , unless ER sports does not belong to him, which seems highly unlikely.
Exactly the opposite to investing. He was the major part of the way forward when he bought the club, we have gone backwards ever since. The guys initial investment, the purchase of the club, will be worthless , if we carry on this path.
Support will dwindle, income will fall and the playing budget will be reduced. Owning the stadium or training ground, may cause issues, but failing to invest in the playing squad will cause more.
As i said earlier, we have no divine right to win games but we should be doing much better than we are , 1 point in a week from Crawley, Orient and Harrogate , is nothing short of shamefull.

 

No

 

Also £300k per year since he bought the club adds up to £1.5 million, probably a quarter of his investment back , for nothing. Nice work if you can get it.

 

You didn't understand what I'm saying. I'm not comparing the jobs, that's irrelevant to the point I'm making.

The point is, there are any number of roles where we wouldn't be aware of the candidates. It doesn't matter what that role is, or what it requires, or what level it is, the point is, if we don't know who the likely candidates might be, that does not mean those candidates don't exist.

It's completely illogical to assume potential owners don't exist just because you don't know them. I mean, it makes no sense whatsoever to claim that is the case

 

I am taking somebody at their word

 

His pension fund have done well from Bradford city that’s for sure but to be fair without them buying the ground we probably wouldn’t exist today

 

I thought he was talking about Rupp,not Gibb.

 

He was

 

Yet you never take anyone for their word on here and always want the facts, someone gives you them but you still take the side of the guy who works for the club. Where’s your evidence that most teams work on a break even budget? Football clubs are known for debt.

 

Have we seen proof? Be interested to see it

 

A question for Dennis as I believe he put it on here somewhere.

People give opinions on here and there are a wide variety.as for budgets most teams in this league have a lesser budget than us. I take the word of someone who knows the facts

 

Yet gave false information on Rupp receiving money. Yeah good one https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/rupp-out.5854/page-5#post-601504

 

Stephan Rupp , also has no affinity to the city, the football club or the people of Bradford.
We are just an invsetment to him.
I know covid has been an issue, but how many times ,as chairman has be taken up his position in the board room.
If i had his wealth , i would fly in every saturday, watch the game and fly out sat evening.
The staff would see me and more importantly know i cared. Leadership from the very top.

 

No I didn’t it was stated that he doesn’t take money out until we see the full accounts I will accept that. I am not a supporter or a dectractor of Rupp but until any serious bidder comes in he is all we have got

 

Holy crap, who was meant to be defending for Harrogate's second? About as easy as it gets, that, just win a header from a throw in and you're through on goal 2 on 1!

 

Who knows if they attend. Probably not.
Like Mr Rupp , do they actually care about the club or is it just a plaything and part of their business empire.
The silence from the boardroom is deafening at our club, other than his statement about the take over, we hear nothing from our leader and very little from rhe guy he chose to run his club.
What's the plan going forward, do we actually have one? Or do we carry on with what appears to be a very scattergun approach to the football side of the club.
