    I keep saying it. We're just another "portfolio" for Rupp! He's no interest in football. He's interested in making money. He's looked at us, decided he can't make money unless he spends some, and has just filed us away in his "didn't work out, could come good somehow" folder. At the time, Rahic sold him the ultimate boys toy. Unfortunately, he let Edin have the keys to his playroom. We were never in a position to come back from that, because our previous owners had been frugal with the cash leaving us without a back up plan if the sh!t hit the fan. If only Rahic had done a spin on Rupp and persuaded him to buy the ground as part of the deal. That would be the saving grace, as it would mean at least Rupp has something to sell as part of a fully packaged football club. Right now, he's left with a failing club with no assets and no interested parties. I wonder who his advisors are. Someone needs to have a word in his ear. I can't imagine RS having the balls to be telling him what to do, but surely there must be someone he's associated with who could give him a bit of a push.

    It might, if it gets him closer to selling the club for the money he wants.

    I did indeed! And hate auto-correct...er, and that I don't check my posts more thoroughly before sending out. Go well, mate.

    And without regurgitating an old thread, unless some mega rich owner sees the potential of this fan base with a big stadium then I’ll say sadly again, we’d be better off downsizing and leaving VP

    start a countdown for the seven years, or whatever it is, as we will not be leaving before then

    No one pay £200 again to watch Bradford again.

    Any city fan that paid on the gate tonight must feel like they've been robbed. And kick in the face for good measure.

    Excellent post.

    It's such a shame as a synergy and reconnect with fans was building momentum but I fear this is already crumbling.

    Why should we believe anything will happen in January

    Let's be honest we have a manger who hasn't been convincing in anything he's said all season....clearly he was told things that haven't and won't happen

    We are going to have to up our playing budged by at least 25% if we are going to drastically improve.
    January is a notoriously difficult time to sign players of quality and Adams has now put his neck on the line tonight.
    His interview tonight was very strange. Didn’t really answer anything and sounded completely fed up. He’s normally got some fire in his belly but he appears to have lost that tonight.

    Is there time for a bid, due diligence and a take over in time for the transfer window?
