Most liked posts in thread: Edin has gone

you're welcome, mate. I did it for all of us.

 

The official City site now only lists one Board member - Alan Biggin when before it included Edin as Chairman. Previously Mrs Rahic was on as Financial person but that position is no longer listed so I think this confirms that she has also gone.

 

I think the WOAP article probably hits the nail on the head in relation to Rupp only having contact with Rahic and therefore getting a very one sided view of things. Obviously as we slipped to the bottom of the table he presumably started to take a greater interest into where he had invested a chunk of his money and had contact with others as to what the true position was. (Am I correct in thinking that Wetherby Whaler posted that he/someone he knew had made contact with Rupp and made his/their feelings known about what the true position was in relation to events at the club). As a result Rupp must have had discussions with someone and made the decision that Julian Rhodes was invited to come in and run the club over Rahic's head. From that moment it was really only a matter of time before todays announcement came about. The thing that surprises me is the actual wording, I never expected it to be quite so blunt.

 

Shame its 18 months too late

 

Well, just look what he's been quoted as saying - I'm really surprised by the strength of his language. Certainly makes his views clear - "wash our hands of him" - crikey!

 

Fantastic news given how much he has underperformed in the footballing side for 18 months.

He was part of the most rapid decline I can remember.

Rupps statement is damning and maybe rahic has pulled the wool over Rupps eyes previously and it’s gone too far.

Rupp is clearly investing and I do not believe the people who post he has not put his own money in yet. He clearly has.

Time to move forward again as a club. There is no easy excuses any more for anyone on the footballing side. Abbott can no longer be blamed for bad signings, Rahic can no longer be blamed for interference and demoralising the staff/players. Every is accountable. Time to step up and get us back up the league

 

Get the banner back out 'Edin didn't know football'

 

GET IN!!!!

 

Might need a towel to dust my seat down, but it will be really great to back ..cant waite

 

Quite amazing the damage that's been done in such a short space of time.

If we can just avoid the drop this season and look forward to a fresh start for 19/20.

 

Thank feck that chapters over.
Let's hope the season starts to go the right way now .
I'd like to thank @Ricc for his tremendous effort .. .........

 

Reading between the lines Rahic still owns shares in the club. It is likely quite difficult to force Rahic to sell, even if Rupp were to make a big offer. I think it would depend if there was anything inn the original shareholders agreement when they first took over.
Rahic may or may not sell his shares, this can take a longer time and we don't know his intentions (he might still think its a good investment)

With that said, the statement from Rupp seems pretty definitive to me. Rahic will not be seen at VP again and will not in any way be involved in making any decisions behind the scenes.


To any fans thinking that Rahic MUST sell his shares before they start supporting the club, I would urge a bit of realism and perspective. This is excellent news for the club and time for us to start moving forward again!

 

Feels like a massive weight has been lifted off our shoulders.

There’s no better sight or sound than a full, bouncing valley parade.

@Ricc . I gave you a bit of grief early days for the stick you gave Edin, but you stuck to your guns and saw what I and a few others didn’t. Hats off fella. By the way, can you give me 6 numbers for the lottery tomorrow night...

 

Fantastic news and a damning statement. Fan power won & common sense prevails, now let’s get cracking on repairing the damage & saving OUR club....Champagne that was being saved for Christmas has been opened tonight!

 

John Dewhirst went and had a one to one with Stefan Rupp, and I would think knowing John he would have told it as it was from a very passionate Bradford City fan of many years standing.

 

Good job the fans didn’t just sit there quietly saying nothing, not rocking the boat in case it ‘affected our performances’...... Glad he’s gone, clearly not cut out for the role despite him thinking he was. The damage may well be irreparable in terms of this season, but at least he can’t taint this club anymore with his ‘football knowledge’.

It should show Rupp how close to the club the fans are, he needs to try and somehow spearhead some sort of turnaround now. If we can’t salvage this season, which is still very likely, he’ll need to show the fans that he can build us back up if we go down (jury is out though). Having said that, if it happens, he might get little leeway (and probably justly so), so he may well need the great escape to provide his own. He needs to show lessons have been learnt and that there is a decent plan going forward at the very least. Hopefully our team can make a proper fight of avoiding the drop, the support is there if the squad can build a togetherness with the fans, but it is down to them now to earn the respect of the fans and give those fans a belief that this team is fired up and committed for the battle ahead.

 

I see no reason why we shouldn't be, many stated they were making a statement by not attending, but would return when Edin was no longer at our club, now's the time for them to start attending again no more Edin Rahic.

According to this article in The League Paper, Edin has sold his shares.
