    Contributor - hold the money to see how it pans out. If Edin is defiantly on his way, the money should be put to better use, burns unit and / or MND foundation.
    If the threat of the flyover put one nail in Edin’s coffin, it’s money well spent.

    Just wondering did you contribute @Plastic Bantam@Plastic Bantam, because @JonButterfield@JonButterfield posted this :

    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.

    Just saying like.

    Nice one mate, we don't need to get into a debate just a few simple replies (after all there were only 64 contributed) should make it easier for Jon to make a decision :thumbup:.

    Now I was not a contributor, so hands up. However I want to see Rahic gone. He is toxic for this club.

    Having read his background, as set out in a fair bit of detail in a WOAP article. Then in particular this paragraph is very telling.

    “The tailing off of Rahic’s business career underlines just how deeply welded he is to making Bradford City work. It is rumoured Rahic earns a large salary for his endeavours, and he has of course moved the family to West Yorkshire. If Rahic was to leave Bradford City, there’s probably not many other options for him”. https://widthofapost.com/2018/10/29/what-can-rahic-and-rupp-still-achieve-from-owning-bradford-city/

    So Rahic will want to extract as much of his ‘investment’ as possible. I assume he will want 100% reimbursement and possibly interest on the capital, at commercial rates. I would also anticipate that he and his wife will want some payment for ‘Gardening Leave’, I recall that some CEO’s get a year. He may also want some payment to relocate his family to Germany (or to Holland?).

    So City will have to find a considerable sum of money, to ‘pay him off’. As a substantial share holder he is under no obligation to sell and given his behaviour I anticipate it may take some time to finalise any deal.

    So if that helps those who invested in the Fly Past, make a decision, then this post has been worthwhile.

    I Jon, just a thought, how about we purchase another 64 goalkeepers,if not then i'll go along with the charities ie burns unit and mnd. Well done for your contribution in this matter,i'm sure it has kick started the demise of our beloved supremo_Once again many thanks.Lets hope we don't have to do it again.

    Yeah I wondered why his name has been removed, when he's refused to answer whether or not he did?

    I have no familiarity with the shareholder element but from an employment perspective, knowing his transfer dealings/approach, he'll be looking for everything that he's contractually entitled to and given his senior role I can't see it being cheap.

    The very thought of him walking away with a golden handshake, makes me seethe. He has some nerve, he will know that will be coming out of the club’s finances!! Hasn’t he done enough damage?

    I don't blame Rupp at all and he must be wishing held never got involved. I've had silent investors and the last thing I'd want is them meddling in what I know about and they don't.

    Jon, hold onto the money until Rahic has gone, if that happens then my donation can go to the burns unit.

    The difference is @abbomf@abbomf you knew what you was doing so the silent invester would be happy with his return on investment, he would have every right to question you if he saw the business was not performing as you said it would ?.

    That's the point I don't understand the most with Rupp.

    Rupp has always been the silent partner in this, occasionally speaking when the need arises. This is/was Rahic's baby, the day to day running is down to him because thats what he dreamt of doing. I'm guessing what was happening at the club and what he was telling Stefan was happening was somewhat different. Can't hide it forever though, especially when you are rock bottom.

    Yes he said his investment was worth the risk, unfortunately it was our club he was risking, I would still prefer him out of our club, but that won't happen if he won't sell.
    We will have to bide our time and see if Edin does go, but if he doesn't and the fly bye is resurrected I would still want the banner to say Rahic & Rupp out.

    If Rupp stays and leaves the running of the club to Julian then I’d be happy for him to be here. There aren’t many £100 million investors around who are involved in Bradford City. With the right amount of investment he’ll make his money back and more. IF he gives Rhodes the free rein he gave Rahic then we can get back to where we were and eventually push on.
