    Now James has gone, how does that sit with the with current business's that have bought into the current corporate sponsorships etc through him. He would have been the one to prise them to release funds into the club, citing future growth within the club for an individual to potentially recoup their investment and more.
    Now he's gone, where does that leave bcafc as a genuine brand to invest in? Looking from the outside in, the club appears to be in disarray and amateurish at best.

    But Edin “Knows Business”... only hope for us now is that there is serious interest elsewhere and we get rid of this 2 owners who have ripped the heart out of our club.

    Again it leaves the club with contracts with those sponsors. When those deals run out then it will be upto the new person to get new deals signed. A lot of the sponsors have been sponsors for longer than James has been involved with the club.

    Its shit stirrers like you that cause the damage. How can you conclude the club is in disarray and amateurish. What facts do you have to back this assertion up? I said FACTS not supposition.

    I think the quote you refer to is "Knows football" but hey lets not let real facts get in the way of an overreaction eh?

    Calm down. Listen. Money is tight in all walks of life, even in a business sector, especially when the thought of investing money into something corporate is involved.
    Now if I happened to consider investing in the club and the main man involved spun me a tale to invest in the here and now then pissed off for whatever reason I'd regard them as amateurish, no matter if investing in the club, a car or a timeshare etc.

    Or maybe you could be pissed off with the "main man" who spun you a tale to invest already knowing he was leaving the club. So its JM that's amateurish NOT the club? Agree?

    Keefly, regardless of whether the club is in disarray or not, somebody posting an opinion on here makes feck all difference. Edin does what he does. The fact that two weeks ago we were ready to appoint a head coach and still haven’t, the Daily Mail articles, Stuart’s interview after leaving, people leaving, Jamie Lawrence tonight, all evidence pointing towards an almighty mess. They may not all be true, but anybody who believes that absolutely everything is fine is a naive fecking idiot in my opinions

    No one has been asked to invest in the club. They have been sold sponsorship deals, or season tickets etc. They have been sold a product by a salesman. I would hope the commercial team are the ones going out and finding them and doing most of the sales work with only the big few actually signing off with a meeting with Mason/Edin. Most of those big ones have not changed since pre Mason/Edin days

    People leave the most professional businesses all the time. It is no big deal.

    Your correct @Seasideman@Seasideman but don't you think it a tad strange that a life long Bradford City fan who gets his dream job and paid for being on the inside at his club tenders his notice because he cant work under Edin regime.
    Don't you have the slightest doubt in your mind that all may not be well, or do you think stuff that been said is not true.

    Basically they’re ripping the life of the club. And told somebody to get his tongue out of Rahic’s arse

    Its pure supposition and guesswork that he can't work under Edin. It could be true, but there is absolutely no evidence just a pile of rumour and heresay based on people's blind opinion of Edin Rahic.

    I think based on the shear volume of negative rumours and tales coming from all areas it is a reasonable conclusion to come to in the absence of any contradictory info. This is not "blind " opinion at all. It may be completely wrong but it is not blind.

    I am trying to calm myself down and find ways out of this out of this that are optimistic. It is getting harder and harder. I have no idea about the truth or otherwise of things that have been said.
    I have to imagine that someone with no first team coaching experience can lead us to a successful campaign next season. Well, it is possible. How likely it is, that is a different question. I have to give the new head coach a chance before I condemn him. Those are my rather mixed feelings at the moment.

    I'll not condemn them they will have my support, but if I see they are out of their depth I believe Edin will be in for a very testing time as it is Edin who is making the comments like " EDIN Rahic insists City are not taking a huge risk in appointing rookie head coach Michael Collins" most fans know appointing a named manager/coach is not guarantee so how he can make that sort of quote is a little bemusing, then he goes on to say "“They know the club, have been involved in the recruitment process and we haven’t seen any other optional candidates in the weeks which have been better than them. that is IMO one very worrying comment, just what calibre of applicants have they been interviewing.
