    Hi Jon, hold off until it’s confirmed he has left the building. For me, my contribution can go to Stephen Darby’s Foundation. Cheers

    This is business?? you wouldnt know it if it hit you in the face pal. Let Rupp get on with it, do you forget there are no new owners waiting?

    Rupp has certainly showed his business prowess in pushing Edin out, official or not Rhodes isnt there for nothing. So to isolate Rupp when he has clearly shown he is learning after being conned by Edin is foolish and harmful.

    Grow up!

    Correct. We haven't benefitted in any way from Rahic, either in club development or financially . Quite how some were blaming Rupp when he was the one financing the purchase is bemusing. Easy to say he needed to be involved more but he had effectively employed Rahic to do that job, i guess Rupp has more important things to deal with than a small business like Bradford City. Hence why he has asked Rhodes to be involved.

    I think it's safe to say Rupp has kept up to his side of the bargain, making funds available when required.. Not his fault we decided to use those funds the way we did.. Should have been more involved yes but the money has been there.

    We might have a cultural class here. Investment world v Football world. Rupp has invested his money and intends to stay long term, fully understands that is what is required in business. Football world is passionate and sees owners as responsible for the club as well as investing money. This was clearly how Rupp anticipated he would be a silent cheque signing owner. However, the person he jumped into bed with, knew as much about football as he did.

    Obviously if he wishes to carry on being a cheque signing silent owner he will need a competent chairman/CEO. However, my personal choice would be if was able to become more involved so he can fully understand the fans and the fabric of City. We won’t know what his plan is until he announces it once Rahic has gone.

    Why not continue with the flyover but change the banner to "Thank You Stefan Rupp"

    Question? Is the time right to donate to the two charities. I know we wanted to wait awhile to see what happened, but I think it is redundant now. Obviously we will have to wait until Stephen gets his up and running, but we could donate half of it to the Burns Unit?

    well, given our efforts have proved fruitful and we have succesfully got rid of Edin, I would now very much like my contribution to go to Stephen Darbys foundation.

    thanks again @JonButterfield@JonButterfield, and well done to everyone that cared enough about the club to contribute to this, we have achieved something major.
    it's a shame some people don't care as much about our club being a success, but nevermind.

    No idea but don't get as childish as a couple of others on here. It doesn't suit you.

    Thanks Dave, much appreciated.

    I'll see that his donation goes to Darby's fund, which I am told is still being set up.

    @Nick_W_@Nick_W_ FYI :)

    Did I not see a headline in the paper stating that rahic and Bradford city have parted. Yes he may hold 22% but he isn't at the club ie left hopefully never to return. Is this correct. Don't take it personally that you was made to look daft by saying show me so big Rod did just that. So now who's failed.

    I backed no horse. When the two came in I thought they had some decent ideas and to be fair what they have done on the pitch and the new in-house shop and ticketing system and even being for probably the first time being able to hear the loudspeaker on the kop. I thought they were right to sack Stuart but since then everything they have done has been disastrous. However Edin is not the Devil incarnate I met him a couple of times as have others I know and he seemed a very decent bloke to talk to. So balance is needec

    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 :)
