    I see little wrong in a supporter writing their opinion, IF it causes Rupp to have a re-think, and therefore influence any changes within his colleagues strategies.
    I dare say that Rahic painted a fine picture for Rupp - Just as he did with US over two years ago. :)

    From Da Vinci to pre-school finger painting, huh ?

    @Bronco@Bronco good email.

    However, it's amazing me how thick some Bradford City fans really are.

    Does Matt or other City fans really think that Rupp doesn't know what's going on at Bradford City?

    Do fans really think that Rupp doesn't know if Edin is or not taking a wage from the club?

    Do fans really think that Rupp doesn't know of any sacking, staff leaving at the club?

    Point being Rupp is involved. He is the major share holder. He is Edin mate. He knows! He's also to blame if not more so!

    In my eyes they're both in it together. Pointless blaming one without the other.

    Fair go for trying Stefan won’t even read it. Try emailing Rahic, I bet you don’t get an answer either.

    And as for starting the email with So..... I stopped there.

    I’ve found myself agreeing with some of your points as the week has past.

    What if the 3 year plan WAS to strip the club down to the bare bones, put it on the brink of relegation and make it so bad that that a consortium of wealthy City fans would come along and offer them more than their initial investment, just to get them out of the club.

    Stranger things have happened in finance.

    I don't know Matt by the way but even accepting Rupp knows the situation I don't think the odd fan making the fans concern known is a problem, thats why I was not prepared make Rupps email address public so every one who had a grudge could bombard him with emails.

    Stranger things have indeed happened but it's one hell of a risk
    Any "wealthy" City fans will know that it would be far cheaper to buy an ailing club from
    the receiver than to buy prior to the worst happening
    If and its a big if this happens then I suguest that's what would happen a big advantage to this would be to instead of paying the full amount to the current owners pay a smaller amount to the receiver and then invest in much needed team strengthening am sure the crowds would flood back to support this
    If this is our destiny then I would rather it happen this season when a points deduction wouldn't really matter points lost in L2 could only extend our stay
    An awful lot of ifs and buts to that scenario and personally can't see it happening

    Rupp needs bombarding though.

    Many people as possible need to contact him to let him know we're on to him and he need to either a) run the club properly or b) sell up.

    Rupp is the major problem at Bradford City as he is the biggest shareholder.

    We get to get to Rupp and get him out! He knows what's happening at his club.

    Edin has been but recently us Ambassadors have been. It's my turn for Oxford but we have been requested nothing controversial. In my case we shall see.

    No doubt you are right Fordy
    However saturation e mails will not work as they will all be along the same lines and just trashed
    One very well written e mail landing in his in box may well be read and acted on
    Whereas if he receives hundreds he won't be bothered opening them at all

    That all depends on where the line of what's controversial and what isn't is drawn. In my book stating a few facts isn't controversial unless of course somebody wants to censor those facts!

    Depends. If we want him to sell up it will work.

    You could write about your role as an Ambassador and what Bradford City means to you and your group.

    That is the brief and that is what people have been doing. All subject to editing anyway.

    Better still presumably the "Ambassadors" are all of the same opinion
    You could write a joint effort reflecting all their views
    May carry a bit more weight

    Emailing the owner is fine but to put the blame on Rahic to somehow get him to agree that his mate is doing a terrible job is the wrong way to go about it in my opinion. Rupp is as much to blame as Edin and im not sure why people arent grasping this.

    I won't knock the guy for trying, but the fact he started with the word "So" is just amateurish. I get dozens of emails everyday which are spam at work, and start on a similar note. I never get past the first line, neither will Rupp.

    I know I would find it very difficult to compose an email just blaming Rahic; I imagine he knows everything that has been happening and that just about all financial decisions. You don’t just invest £5 million in a football club business and then walk away and leave all the decisions. If he has, then he is responsible by neglect!

    I remember when the first admin happened, the Rhodes family claimed that they trusted Richmond implicitly and they didn’t know what was happening, in doing that they seriously neglected their business, they took dividends without further inspection. They may have been ignorant but they shouldn’t have been, responsible for their neglect of duty. They then set about repairing the damage as best they could.

    Rupp cannot have failed to notice the fans unrest and deep anxiety about the way the club is being run, any emails will be forwarded onto to someone else to write a polite bland response.

    Simplistically, a fair and sound notion. However, such an act may be considered as contrived, and force further censorship, in addition to some Ambassador privileges being withheld. Easy does it as we go, huh ? :)
