    Embarrassing, incoherent and amateurish. The author is looking more like a plum every time he takes to the airwaves.

    First thing they need to do is find someone with a basic command of the English language and an idea of how to construct a coherent sentence to proof read the guff they come out with.

    Actually no, .the first thing that they should have sorted was to begin to try to understand the concerns of the ordinary supporter rather than cosying up to Rahic.

    So the reason they don't want Edin out is because actually getting Edin out would presumably require action, and that action would do more harm than good?

    Genuinely, I'm asking, because that statement makes very little sense.

    But if that is the case, keeping Edin at the club has crippled Bradford City and made us completely uncompetitive. So, I'm going to need them to expand on how an Edin Out campaign actually makes it worse, because being the worst performing side in England for 11 months straight is already kinda hard to top. I don't see how trying to remove him makes it worse. Surely, by definition, we cannot be any worse, at least compared to the 91 other English football clubs.

    the trust are laughable.

    I'm pretty sure it's just Manny in his bedroom at his parents house, typing furiously, under some sort of illusion that anyone is the least bit interested, and will read what he has to say.
    no one cares Manny, you spend hours typing the same thing every other month. do something useful.

    might aswell pin a header to his facebook page that says "get behind the lads, ffs unless otherwise stated" that would save him having to do his statements at all.

    After reading that I've come to the conclusion that
    A) It's a spoof article and someone managed to get hold of the BCST FB log-on details
    or
    B) Manny was shit-faced when he wrote it

    Reading the BCST statement is seriously embarrassing. It is clear that they do not represent the majority of fans. There are fans on here who are members who can write in recognisable English, so I am not sure why this has been written by someone who clearly struggles with English grammar.

    Firstly I am not clear as to why they felt the need to put out a statement. Yes they have been challenged, quite right too, however the defensive stance is even more embarrassing than their original minutes. This trust has quite a high profile and football club’s do have to meet up with them, therefore there needs to be a serious look at their reason for being, and there approach to representing supporters.

    Think maybe it would be better if written in English, maybe a little grammar and punctuation might help.

    What is the point of the Bradford City Supporter's Trust?

    This latest ramble is nothing the club itself can't say in a far more coherent and persuasive manner.

    The trash Manny wrote previously about why the BCST didn't get behind the anti-Edin 'vitriol' (LOL - are you kidding? Calling out an obvious failure's obvious failure is 'vitriol'?) was an abysmal piece of work. He effectively said they wanted to sit on the fence and dilly-dally until they could 'understand' Edin's rationale.

    What good was understanding Rahic's rationale? He had no idea what he was doing, he was burying the club, he was doing untold damage that has, in the opinions of actual, real, genuinely knowledgeable people set us back YEARS.

    But oh, don't worry about that, the SUPPORTERS TRUST have no interest in 'vitriol' or effecting change because what would be far more productive was a bit of a closer look at WHY Rahic was running things so utterly terribly.

    Yeah, right.

    That makes sense.

    I'm sure their intentions are good and all, but Jesus Christ, what a waste of time they are.

    Not certain on that
    It does however beg the question why the club are trying to get monies in early
    The season ticket deadline for cheap prices was early too
    Makes me wonder what funds we are going to have for next season
    The cynic in me thinks the club needs cash and quickly
    May be way off the mark

    They remind me of Michael Gove, supposed to represent the majority, say they represent the majority, but in fact are in it for themselves. They’re in a position to do something but don’t want to rock the boat.

    In my opinion they are too worried about damaging their ties with the club. It's similar to what Simon Parker used to do before he finally had enough.

    They should do a poll of their members, see what action the majority want to take. To just assume is making them look daft.

    This is the City Talk forum and this is not an appropriate thread for making political points. For future reference, I suggest you restrict your political statements to threads which are themselves political in nature.

    This.

    As a Trust member, I firmly believe that we have long passed the point of having any meaningful discussion with Edin. The vast majority of fans seem to have reached the same conclusion. Its time for the Trust to represent the fans.

    If this does come from them then it is a disgrace.....I’ve read it three times and I still don’t get it....

    If it is legit then tbh I’m not surprised.....

    Isn't this organisation the 'supporter's trust', the clue being in the name...

    On the subject of the interview, they bottled it, they had the opportunity but chose not to ask ‘the awkward questions we all needed answers to....this organisation should have pressed him and pressed him hard for answers much much earlier and not given up until they had them...

    Personally I do not 'trust' anything they say.....

    After all, the idea was never to bully the man but to get him to open up with dialogue... and I'm afraid he should've expected the response he got from fans by remaining silent ... Just my my opinion ...tongue in cheek of course lol

    Could have saved everyone a lot of time and fit all that into 3 lines.

    Welcome bowyer and Todd - hope they do well.
    Get behind the team
    Buy a season ticket.


    Otherwise rambling rubbish

    This could only be written by a true socialist, Would be quite clear to the vast majority of Momentum and Corbyn comrades
