    Bradford City shouldn't be in div 2, tell us why, because were a big club, most of our history has been league one and two, we have to earn the right to be in a higher league, just as we did under Phil Parkinson

    When Bradford City in this poor league we should be looking to go straight back up. were second in the league with a bad injury list I think looking at us we won't be far off come the end of the season, promotion is not won in November.

    Do you disagree with this? YES

    Leeds, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Sheffield clubs are leaving us behind. Now if you're happy with that then you continue making excuses mate. I feel we will start playing catch up but don't let the club bully you into having a lack of ambition. What a silly comparison, Leeds bank rolled by a very rich Italian owner, Huddersfield until the start of this season also bank rolled by a die hard Town fan with an estimated £290m, Barnsley were in the same league as us last season, and looking like they could come straight back down,Sheffield United again rich fan with £100m, and now in the hands of Prince Abdullah bin Mossad Bin Abdulaziz al-Saud with an estimated wealth of £18 billion, Sheffield Wednesday taken over by Dejpon Chansin with a personal wealth of $720M who says fair play rules don't allow him to put money into the club he'd like to, can you see a pattern forming here.

    I believe we're failing and where the club stands and operates highlights that for now. OK failing second in the league, players coming back from injury, we operate on £!49 season tickets we cut or cloth to suit, when we have an owner in that league who is prepared to back his club then we will be able to compare like for like until that day we will have to do as we have in the past build the club on firm foundations and build on that.

    Bradford City under current and past owners have done nothing to make themselves an attraction.

    However, you seem happy to go to a school and watch the team train.

    No assets mate.. you make an excuse for everything.

    All the other Yorkshire clubs of note are doing better than us and are a more attractive buy but hey have no aims mate.

    Is there any point in trying to debate with you, I give you answers to your questions and you reply with the same questions.

    Once again plenty of waffle with no conviction.

    No conviction.

    Facts mate!

    We're well behind clubs that we shouldn't be in Yorkshire and you're too busy making excuses.

    You carry on making them.

    We're not an attraction because we don't own assets and are in div 2.

    Now as a fan you can accept low standards or demand more but accepting the low standards is one of the reasons the club is where it is today.

    It a mates club. We all know it needs to do better but hide behind telling the truth because we act scared!

    If we don't go up this season I fully expect fans to really disappointed and demand change.

    Given your well chronicled ‘business’ credentials, surely you must have connections with a fabulously wealthy individual, who given your exceptional passion, drive and vision, would be convinced to take the club over and move it to a much higher level?

    Meanwhile we go to Shrewsbury on Saturday, as in the title of this thread!!!

    Fordy is a delivery driver. I have a colleague who knows him well - he’s a prat in ‘real life’ too.

    Rhodes and Rupp have to go!

    Mr Rupp has to sell up as he would of failed.

    He's a winner but will hate failure. Sell up and let another winner have a go.

    Mr Rhodes will have to 100% go!

    We are going around in circles Fordy.

    Rupp will not sell unless he receives a bid that is acceptable to him. So, not sure how you get rid of him, furthermore, there appears to be nobody prepared to throw enough money at us to get us at the same level as other Yorkshire clubs you allude to such as Leeds, Huddersfield and the Sheffield clubs

    Because we own no assets mate.

    So you're saying Mr Rupp holds on to a club for his benefit that says a lot about him then when really if he can't or doesn't want to take the club on to the next level then he should sell up. Bury ended up in a bad situation with people thinking about themselves. I believe Mr Rupp is better than that and to be honest I believe in him to do the right thing if we don't go up this season but I believe we will.

    So let's move on!

    wanting a win, and being able to confidently predict one are two completely different things
