    I've no idea how much the club is paying two of its employees for their jobs and I suspect nobody else does either unless there is somebody who has seen the club's monthly payroll. If somebody other than Mr and Mrs Rahic were doing these two jobs, would they be doing it for fresh air?

    And on the issue of the '£37k loan repayment a month for the money used to buy the club', do you have any thoughts on why the loans provided to buy the club aren't reducing as a result of these loan repayments? That's according the German HoldCo's financial accounts.

    Rahic has done a lot of damage to our club over the last 18 months or so. But we'd be better sticking to the stuff he is responsible for and not some of the made up stuff.

    I will be amazed if there is any investment in January.

    Our attendance wouldn’t change much even if the ground was empty as a majority are season tickets

    Lets hope you're correct, and we are still in a position to climb out of the bottom 4 because as you know bringing new faces in and getting them to gel quickly is not always possible.
    I used to be a very possitive poster with regards our club but these two guys have knocked a bit of the stuffing out of me ( along with many more) so maybe I respond a little negativly in hope that if these signing ETC do materialise and they show there ability then bronco will be a happy punter again

    I don't underestimate the effort required to organise such a boycott but it would send a very strong signal to the owners if the boycott is well supported.

    Question may be, does Edin want to succeed and would the affirmative mean he will invest in Jan or will he decline based on the fans disapproval of his running of the club?

    Thats the point @Dennis@Dennis i all 1000 of Banram Talk members boycotted the next game how does the same message get out there to the other 13,000, although we know our home attendances with regards bums on seats is nowhere near the figure the club quote.

    So why aren’t they addressing the fans directly? If they have decided to invest in January, why aren’t they telling us? Why aren’t they talking to the fans about the abysmal league position? Why aren’t they backing the manager and the players and telling the fans they will do everything in their power to keep this club in league 1? Having a quick chat and implying funds might be available is hardly talking to the fans. I don’t trust them, but plenty still do, and would welcome some leadership.

    There's a 1000 plus members on here but probably double that lurkers

    And remember members dont go to matches alone but with friends and family

    This forum could account for 5000 plus fans if need be

    Something must have passed me by. Who has Rahic spoken to confirming he will be 'backing the manager' come January?

    The fans were sued by Oyston, because they said he was asset stripping and taking money out of the club. The fans were proved right in court.

    Are we expecting the right owner to invest, weve heard many times Stefan is the man in this partnership with the €€€€, Im sure he wants to make his investment offer a good return so would him stumping up (lets say) £1m to help us sustain our league 2 status be the right way to go.
    After trying to fathom out some of the stuff with regards our balance sheet ETC I'm far from sure Stefan would be up for that sort of finacial comittment, now if it was for "Team Rupp" in his passion for motor car racing I'd suggest it a done thing.

    That's something to be positive about during our current saga ... we have no assets to be stripped and barely enough cash to pay our own way! ;)

    Ask yourself this. Which quality players, are actually going to want to come to City, if the wage structure doesn’t offer an incentive, the fans are either abandoning the club and/or making it a very hostile place to play in and we are in the relegation zone? Name names!

    How does that help the club at this moment. We have been told Hopkin will have money made available to him in January. That is the only way out of this mess at the moment. Strangling the club's revenue at this moment in time will not help that

    The above is from @City-since-67@City-since-67 who helps run the Bingley Bantams. Obviously no amount has been mentioned.
