    As promised, we have received the full refund for the flyover.

    But, we seem to be in a bit of a limbo situation, with the noise of Edin's departure now almost deafening.

    Now I've had a few requests from contributors that of course can be followed up on, such as donations and refunds, which I can act upon immediately; or we could wait and see how this plays out officially - only that could, theoretically take some time.

    My intention was to set up a poll here, but I think it would be better for now if the contributors had an open discussion. We can always ask a mod to add in a poll for us later.

    So...

    What next?

    Is it job done?

    Or is there work to do?

    It's a waiting game IMO.
    If he goes I'd like my donation to go to the Burns Unit.
    Well done to the other 63 contributors, the detractors can all Feck off.

    It should of still gone ahead IMO.

    Nothing has changed, Edin is still here, still involved and we are still bottom of the league and still 7 points adrift.

    Fair play to the 64 who donated though and best wishes on what you choose to do with the money :)

    well, given its gone public about Rahic leaving, I'd expect to hear something on that score officially, fairly soon.

    aslong as he does indeed leave, and no longer holds shares in the club then my contribution can go to Stephen Darby's MND charity.

    Hi Jon, well done with all your efforts in this. In my opinion the money should be on hold for a while yet, just in case it's needed for a fly-by in the near future. Or should we still have the fly-by regardless??

    Thanks for the update Jon.

    My view is that we hold the funds until we have confirmation that Rahic has or is leaving. I know this may take some time but shouldn't be overly long as his potential departure is all over the press.

    If he doesn't look like he's leaving in the next few weeks I would go for the fly by again.

    If our dreams come true, my contribution can go equally to the BU and MND

    I think we should hang fire a little longer , wait to see if he does indeed go . If he departs i want the entire fund transfering to the " BUY OFFSIDE A BRAND NEW MERC FUND " , if not to the burns unit .

    Thanks Jon, I’d suggest you hang on to it until it’s confirmed Rahic has gone. It does n’t feel right to me to have it hanging over the club waiting to see if they let us down. With Rahic gone it has to be a clean start.

    If Rupp stays let’s give him a chance to correct what Rahic has done whilst he let him get on with it.
    Rupp’s mistake was believing in him. Time for him to stand up and we can give the money to either one or both of the said charities. Amongst other protests I think the plane idea was a great success.

    Hi Jon, I'll echo the above, thanks for your efforts. Personally, I think we should wait until it been confirmed that the tyrant has gone completely, then and only then, the funds should be split between Stephen Darbys MND foundation and the Burns Unit. Cheers

    Personally I think waiting until we have had confirmation that he is leaving is the right idea. After an announcement from the club the contributors can then pm you what they want doing with there contribution.

    It’s incredibly unlikely at this stage that there would be a U turn and Edin stays.

    It’s common knowledge that he is on his way out now, and if anything was to change than we could raise that sort of money collectively in a flash.

    I think it should be held back, possibly until the end of season to see where we are. Hopefully Rahic will be long gone. At that point I am happy for my contribution to split between the two charities.

    Echo pretty much everything above. Let's just hang on a while. Perhaps when the time comes, a 50/50 split is easiest, unless individuals have a serious issue with either good cause, unlikely, I would imagine (I'm not including @Offside@Offside 's merc fund in that ;)).

    And as @JudgeMental@JudgeMental alludes to, please, just for once, don't one single detractor waste anybody's time commenting on this thread.

    And once again, well done Jon for all your efforts.

    As above @JonButterfield@JonButterfield respect for setting it up and making the decision you did it couldn't have been easy.
    I'm in favour of holding the money until Edin has left the building, and Im more than happy to share the procceds between both The Bradford Burns Unit and Darbys charity.




    Just the one thing Jon tell them not to throw the "RUPP" letters away they might be needed.

    If it'd had been this time last year, I'd have said lets set up a Bitcoin account, and we can buy a new player for the club in January off the earnings :) But that train has gone.
    Why not use it to buy Edin and his wife a really nice bouquet of flowers - thanks and no hard feelings written on the card?

    Joking aside. I'd be happy to send it to the burns unit, or SD's charity. As the burns unit is generally on everyones radar, I personally think donating to Darbys charity might have a bigger impact in raising recognition for the disease.

    I would agree with holding on to the funds for a few weeks, if we have no change then we can still have the fly over. If Mr Rahic has indeed left the building then I'm happy to split the donations between the MND foundation & the Burns Unit.

    If he is no longer coming to VP, would it not be better if you want to do the flyover to use it to have a humours dig at him.. like, well done Edin you f**ked it

    100% this job isn't done yet.

    Nothing official has come out of the club and he is still a sure holder.

    For me also Rupp hasn't proved his worth and if no developments over the next two weeks the Edin and Rupp out should remain!

    If @JonButterfield@JonButterfield you want me to take over this I will because let me tell you @City-since-67@City-since-67 or even the club wouldn't stop me from doing it.

    This is business. We all love the club but it's vital that they understand we won't put up this the rubbish or owners have provided.

    The flyover has to happen if nothing changes soon! Has too!
