Most liked posts in thread: Flyover Cancellation

For those whom contributed, could I ask should we ring fence this money until we have firm proof of change?

If needed , we could reorganize a flyover or relevant protest, as appropriate. If the end game is satisfactory, then charity I suggest.

Otherwise, im of the consideration that if monies are returned and a crowd funding is required in future, that the integrity and trust in such an action may be jeopardised.

 

To me it’s had the desired effect without happening and people get their money back..

Rupp is obviously well aware of what was going to happen and if has been said he had potential investors over for the match you don’t want anything ruining any potential deal!

However the fact he was very much aware of it and asked people to reach out on his behalf shows you he was aware and his actions as of late probably show it had the desired effect

 

If a potential investor is scared by a flyover against someone killing the club, I can't see them sticking around if they do invest.

If they can't understand why we're against rahic then they're definitely not what we need at the club. I'll wait and see and hope to be proven wrong but it seems bollocks to me right now

 

Totally agree
"Any new investor" would surely see the passion in the fans and know he has a good solid fan base to build on
More of an attraction than frighten off a half hearted investor
Would they be investing in Edins dream or will they create a new one of their own hope very much it's the latter but if the flyover telling them our distrust of Edin puts them off I fear it's the former
To me something is very fishy with this

 

All this could be cleared up if we had a statement from the club telling us exactly what is going on instead of all the whispers it's getting very tedious now

 

That's hardly a surprise is it. Your feelings on the fly by are well known.

The news passed on to Jon had better turn out to be true and compelling otherwise this is simply a postponement.

 

Does Edin still owe 20% of the club? Yes or No?

Is Edin still part of the club? Yes or No?

It's weak because at this moment nothing is factual and because people like you say jump Jon said how high.

How would a flyover damage the club? How?

 

Then instead of all these playground activities
Come out and say exactly what happened to postpone it

 

Which suggests that it's not a complete buy out / takeover on the cards as why would a lack of support of the outgoing owners matter one iota to the new owners. A new investor coming in with money to buy out Edin is a possibility under the scenario that has been painted but also implies that this new investor is oblivious to what has gone on over the last 12mths of increasing fan unrest. Sorry, I can't believe that.

I'm calling bu11sh!t on the whole thing but hope beyond hope that the end result is still Edin out but I can't make any logical sense of a need to cancel based on hurting the club as a result of an investor pulling out if the flyover went ahead.

Someone is telling lies.

 

Let me say again you were put in a very awkward position on Friday/Saturday and I fully back what you did @JonButterfield, the fly bye was canceled but no one had control over what the potential new investors hear yesterday, the crowds both home and away IMO have been very supportive of the manager and players, but if Oxford had put us to the sword yesterday how can anyone stop the fans from possibly chanting Edin Out.
Of course we would prefer everything to be rosy at valley Parade but I would very much hope any new investor has done his homework on why they might have been asked to invest in the club and done their own due diligence and possibly seen why fans were annoyed with the goings on at our club.
I would expect that would be the first thing any new investor would do, the fly bye may not have gone down well but as with Edin & Stefan who have invested in Bradford City to improve our club and maybe get us to the Championship and sell the club making a tidy profit I'm sure any new investor is looking at the same situation ?.

 

I think we all get it. We all also feel it doesn't make sense.

In the same way that you're using the internet to have this discussion and push your view of things that potential investor could ask someone to get on the same internet and research about the fans views just as a manufacturer would want to know customer's feedback on their products before investing further into it.

For me, that's where the point you're making loses credence. Since the fly over was cancelled what are you going to do to delete the hundreds of thousands of negative posts about the owners that exist on here, cows arse, twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc or dont those matter? Was it just a little plane they were scared off?

 

This is so tedious. If I was going to invest in a Football club as a complete novice, I would research that club, I would even have a a professional who knows football research it. In other words I would know, yes the majority of negativity is directed at Rahic, however you don’t have to know football to know this simple fact, that if there is two owners theother one silent or not has allowed the downward spiral to continue, so I would be asking pertinent questions and I would need to have satisfied myself I had a satisfactory explanation. I would expect them to have informed me of the protest.

 

He won’t be.

 

Edin has 20 friends, now that I can't believe .

 

It’s embarrassing for the club that they have felt the need to stop the fans expressing there feelings . You’ve completely destroyed our club so deal with the consequences . If rupp feels he can buy the fans silence more fool him . There is only so long they can get away with it . It amazes me how many people feel like rupp should escape any blame . He’s as bad as that clown edin

 

Whats the betting we are signing 1 or 2 Stuttgart players tomorrow? Once they have sobered up.

 

No dig aimed at you at all Jon I totally respect the decision you’ve made and you’ve done brilliant sorting eveything out my point is aimed at the club . They can not pick and choose when it’s ok for the fans ( paying customers) to express they discontent . I seriously hope you get the money back . I wouldn’t trust anyone at the club bar Julian as far as I could throw them. All the good people have left or distanced them selves from R and R . They have got away with way too much . Rupp ( if he even knows where bradford is ) should have got his arse over here and sorted this mess out long before now instead of leaving his puppet free reign with a club that will be here long after they have stopped treating us like a train set , long after 2 month deal marqueee signing Henry and long after any potential Investor has left the building.

 

Don't let bother you @Fools Gold, he's the sort that claims to be ITK and loves to bleat about it, but when you question him he says nothing, just one of Rahic's puppets.

 

Everyone has their own views of who is in the know or not personally Dave I think you and I know as much as everyone else SFA
If it is true that Bingley Bantams were told and to keep it quiet they deserve for only members of Bingley Bantams to turn up for the next match and have an empty stadium this costing them even more revenue
Bradford City is club for ALL its supporters and if they have anything to say about any event they should address everyone and not just the chosen few
Cloak and Dagger tactics will only stir up more unrest the main root of our problems
