Get out 24/25

Pure supposition on my part, but again maybe his mates have got Bavarian mansions and super yachts, but not a football club. I don't know just guessing

 

His mates with the Bavarian mansions and super yachts would probably be quite impressed if his football club was in the championship or at least challenging at the top of league 1 but as things stand, they've set up a separate WhatsApp group and use it to take the p!ss out of him.

 

I just think he fell for Rahic's bull that he could make lots of money out of football and owning Bradford City. When he realised he'd been duped, or actually exposed as an idiot who didn't understand jack about the economics of football, then he lost any interest.

 

I seem to remember (I could be wrong) just before Rahic got bubbled someone was going to write a letter and send it to one of the German media with regards our situation, quoting how they had bought our club and overseen the ongoing demise of Bradford City Football Club, at that time we were still a League One club but struggling both on the field and more so off it.
Maybe someone could draft a letter quoting our present situation and the lack of any sort of success whilst Rupp has been the owner, maybe a professional person like a teacher or maybe a management consultant who know how to construct a letter highlighting all we fans have been through during his tenure if they aren't interested we've lost nothing, maybe getting our anger out there may get a reaction from our owner.

 

Where have you been? We have missed you

 

I have not.

 

Aww don't be like that. You know you absolutely LOVE Bradford City Football Club.

 

I find it weird that a so called Bradford City fan who supposedly attends games continues to support a club that he obviously gets not pleasure from watching what a strange lad.

 

So we go on a 3 game winning run and then a draw and then a loss. However shite this division is overall the last two results are a true reflection of where we are really at. The club is rancid from top to bottom and whilst having to say that really hurts, we are going absolutely nowhere until things genuinely change. The happy clappers MUST stop being taken in by false promises and false dawns

 

That's an average of 2 points a game. Continue that same pattern over the course of the season and we'd finish on 86 points. I'd bite your hand off for that right now.

 

Pretty sure it was the proposed fly by that @JonButterfield organised that freaked Mr Rupp out most
By all accounts he was there on Saturday, sadly with the "official" attendance topping 18k and the fairly full stands the furthest thing on his mind returning to Germany would have been investing in the club
Sad state of affairs and as usual it's the fans who feel it most, and are virtually powerless to change things
Not getting too down over the last two results but I think it reflects fairly our position this season again

 

Think the last few games have been a marker of how inconsistent the supposed "top sides" are this season. Look at Donny, they made us look very average but they've also lost to Newport and Bromley this season, both teams that we put 3 past early in the season. I think we are about where we should be, maybe a few places higher if I'm honest after the summer recruitment. We seem to have collected a gaggle of CBs who struggle to look convincing doing the bare basics and have a weekly *@?$-up in them all, and a keeper who now struggles to save shots directly at him. It's a surprise we've only conceded 15 to me with an every changing backline of not that good defenders.

I think we will be scrapping to get in our just outside the play offs as it stands, but we need help in January to aim higher. We need defensive help and a strike partner for Cook at a bare minimum. I'd cancel one of Diabate or Shepherds loans, both are just too clueless to play together. Neither can track a man, neither can have much positional awareness either. Shepherd will likely drop out once Kelly is back anyway, but the lad needs some proper coaching. Five yellow cards in under 850 minutes of football, WTF is he thinking at times? Only Fleetwood, Carlisle & Morecambe have a higher percentage of shots against inside their 18 yard box than us, not the best company for that one.

Whoever greenlit going into a season with Kav, Smith, Sanderson & Oliver as options needs sacking just for that. Oliver is done as a threat at football league level, but lets face it he was never going to be the partner, he was the Cook back up. But the other 3.... just nowhere near good enough. The drop off of Kavanagh needs studying, he looks a pub player at times this season. Smith & Cook don't work, they've played together nearly 40 times now and just nothing happens, 2 goals from that partnership link-up. I cant for one minute believe Sanderson was meant to be anything more than a bench player, but he has shown the typical 'fresh out the academy' form of being incredibly hot and cold and I think we need a missing picture on some milk for the boy.

At this point, I wouldn't be against playing Wright off Cook again, it got him a move to Plymouth last time and I think we can all see the LWB experiment is leaving us far too open. At the minute, only Salford, Bromley and Notts have had more attacks against from their left hand sides, it seems to be a ploy that teams have figured out against us. Wing back another area to hunt for.

 

And we have 22 points from 14 games which is 1.57 points per game, equating to 72 at the end of the season. Not sure I will biting anyone's hand off for that sort of tally. We should be p*****g this league and we are not. It tells us all we need to know

 

Neither would I. The point I was making is that an average of 3 wins, a draw and a loss every 5 games should be a piece of p!ss for a squad that has supposedly been invested in to compete at the top end of the table in what is an extremely poor league this season. The fact that I'd bite your hand off now should tell you all you need to know about my confidence in us making that total.

 

He might be raw but I would have Shepherd above Diabate any day of the week, especially a Saturday . Diabete pretty much craps himself everytime the ball is passed to him. He can tackle sometimes but he is truly shocking with the ball at his feet.
