    • All the back room staff who had the club at heart have left, as they couldn’t work with Edin
    • Rumours then spread about these ex-staff to discredit them.
    • Manager who bleeds City sacked
    • Experienced manager, sees enough in 4 months to turn down the job full time, without another job lined up.
    • 7 week search for a new HC/Manager ends up with an ex part time junior coach employed as first team manager.
    • No fitness coach as the one we had close season, left for the 2nd time...
    • Shambles of a pre-season, including a Saturday fixture at Harrogate, where we refused to send 1st players due to their 4G pitch.
    • Kit man replaced, but then he left after a week!
    • Club shop has no stock at the key selling period of the year.
    • Sponsorship sales down, season ticket sales down.
    • No CEO, no business manager, no player liaison officer, no youth team coach, no safeguarding officer.
    • No accountant as we have gone through 3 in the past year.
    • Flagship player of Edin’s football blueprint, suspended after an arrest for an alleged serious sexual assault.
    • Fans sold memberships that included credits to be added to their on line accounts, which now can’t be added, due to issues with the online ticket system.
    • Junior Bantams taken in house, but no one to run it.
    • Some fans still haven’t received season tickets as they have been lost by the club.
    • Season ticket distributed by volunteers who were clearly not up to the job..not their fault & not a dig at them.
    • Impossible to get answers from the club for the simple questions.
    • No communication from the club, unless you count those tacky tracksuit jackets & cut price pre match meals.
    • Players who have contracted bonus payments stopped from playing again for the club to avoid paying that bonus, increase.
    • Players offered contracts only for them to be retracted at the last minute.
    This is all down to one man, who doesn’t know football clearly but more worrying he clearly doesn’t know business either. OUR club is heading for the rocks and unless there is a change in ownership the future is very bleak.

    Although some of the above have some, some, basis in fact anyone with half a brain could take a lot of it and actually rip it to shreds.

    Who recruited him?
    Thought we did our due diligence and in depth interviews about character.

    I read that as showing how precarious that policy is. And now is potentially a disaster in terms of value to the club.

    Just shows there can be two interpretations to events. Some left, so could be due to being unable to work with Edin but some Edin got rid so no input from the members of staff

    Yes. Did we recruit a loose cannon?

    Who's responsible for that?
