He was nowhere near that goal. Power is complaining to the EFL to stop him having to pay him his goal bonus!

 

As a club, you seem to be mirroring us when we ended up here a couple of seasons ago. What kept me going, and it does apply to you, is that it is inevitable that you’ll be back on the up soon. It’s almost impossible for a good club with history to wither on the vine. Maybe not this season with Bowyer. We had to go through Flitcroft and Phil Brown before we happened upon Wellens. He’s been the catalyst for the turnaround - and surprisingly backed by Power.

 

I can’t pretend to know the ins and outs of how your club works at the moment, but to suggest it’s dying is a bit strong. This is our third season down here and it took that long to work out what’s actually needed to get out of it again.

I would suggest, though, that Bowyer isn’t the answer.

 

If we had ten or so wealthy fans, it might be possible...

But you'd be looking for ten people like Lawn, Gibb, Rhodes, etc, and you'd be looking for them to, you know, get along.

 

The only way is to create a new club similar to FC United with the goal being promotion to the EFL.
That will take decades!!

 

No

 

Multi ownership businesses surely are too hard to manage.
Imagine having 1000 equal share owners who all have to vote to get any kind of decision made.
You always need a majority shareholder who can basically overrule everyone else.

 

Entertainment.... I'm not sure that would be my word of choice

 

Ha. It would. However we do agree on something.

 

Bloody hell I agree.

Fan ownership could work. Raise the funds but like Park says you then need to find a few people that can head it to seek further investment.

How, Bradford City is run under Rhodes fan ownership isn't possible because we can all run the club how Rhodes is doing. It's really isn't hard.

Bradford City has a lot of rich followers so raising the money won't be an issue. It's the next stage of investment that might be tricky.

 

interested to know who the rich followers are?

 

Fordy as a starter?

 

Well one of the use to be one direction
One of them can magic @Park bantam away and I don't mean @Dennis ha

I don't believe we would need 10m.

Raising the money won't be a problem. It's the next bit

 

can't see either of them wanting to get involved and they'd be just as distant as the current ownership.

 

I think Portsmouth were one after their admin issues.

Sure there is another one but they may not still be fan
owned.

 

Yeah Portsmouth did and then found investment quickly
