    Bronco, the club IS in free fall and his investment IS in danger. Present tense.

    But it was in free fall and his investment was in danger when he made his statement, and has continued, lets hope as some are saying for the good of our club Hopkin is allowed to manager and make the decisions on which players he wants to bring in, although he said on Pulse this morning he's struggling with free agents some are asking for silly money.

    Rubbish........... the demo's have led to them to the sorry state they find themselves in today. They now need to give control of the club to Belokon and sell their assets to fund their court loss. Well done Blackpool fans.

    I fully support Hopkin in trying to get players in. However he also has my 100% support in telling the Agents to bugger off!! We might be desperate but I want ppl to want to come and work really hard, those that are trying to do fancy footwork in order to get more can do one.

    Here is my message to the Agents; we need hard working players with experience of league 1 or higher. We will offer your player reasonable pay, but we won’t be held to ransom and in fact if you try that, we will not be interested full stop.

    I would rather limp our way to January than fill up the team with more unfit players, without the right attitude.

    I'm not sure it's nothing to do with the demos though, they ended up being taken to court because they mismanaged the finances of the club - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-40247170 - and Belokon knew what had happened without the fans needing to tell him.

    In another thread someone tried to claim that Liverpool's owners had been forced out by fan protests - again they went because RBS called in their loan and they couldn't meet their financial obligations.

    The only thing that will force a rethink of strategy, or the club to be put up for sale is when the financial pressure becomes too much, it's why I think a flyover is pointless posturing. What needs to happen is for a significant proportion of the fanbase to commit to not putting a penny more into the club while Rahic remains in position (or positions). Given there isn't a white knight out there I'm loathe to target Rupp as it is more than likely that he'll need to be worked with, whether that is as the continuing majority investor installing people to run the club or in some kind of ownership change if someone appears from nowhere and wants to take the club on which, given our history, isn't as likely as some people seem to think.

    Perhaps I was ham-fisted, but that's the point.

    This is a start, not an end.

    Nothing works as well as financial pressure, A boycott of home match spending in any form by season ticket holders and a boycott of games by non season ticket holders with the underlying threat of a boycott of season ticket sales for next season is the surest way of bringing about change, As ever Money talks and has the loudest voice

    I can't see how they can carry on beyond Feb. At best we'll be in a relegation battle. At worst, we'll already be down.

    How many season tickets will we sell?
    6000? I think you would have to be real hard-core to buy a season ticket in these circumstances.

    I said this earlier, and I'll repeat it now for Banbrotam and Park's benefit.

    anyone not thinking along the lines of protest, demonstration, and trying to remove Edin from his position simply isn't a Bradford City football club supporter.

    @Ricc@Ricc , I can see your passion and energy in "trying to remove Edin from his position" ( to which i broadly agree) but I'm not in agreement with your last line. I will not force (discuss, yes) my opinion on no other City fan and certainly not use such label.

    I have a neighbour whom is mid 80s, supported City for going on 60+ years yet has no energy and will to engage in such protests nor demonstrate. Ownership not sure, never asked. Would I define him as a "Bradford city football club supporter". Yes.

    You're wrong Ricc, you're only a proper supporter if you blindly sit and clap the worst performing club in the country whilst burying your head in the sand as to why this is.

    You're not a proper supporter if you have genuine fears and concerns for where your club is heading. And you're an embarrassment for even attempting to voice you're concerns or physically show your displeasure.

    Nope.

    If you don't think Edin should be removed from his position I can only come to the assumption you actively want the club to fail.
