    Yes, because fans need to wake up.

    Look, I am mega busy today but I mean no harm. I never said it was true. Said heading. It's what I heard.

    However, if fans just want to put their head in the sand and not question the club then don't shocked if things like this turn out to be true.

    All I hear is our owner isn't in to football? And!
    Our owner is worth 150m but not spending a penny on the club! Joke!

    Rupp is nearly as bad as Edin
    Rhodes is Past his sell by date
    Bowyer is useless and needs to go!

    From top to bottom changes need to happen.

    Fans forums are too weak.. the media asking questions are too weak.. to be fair people like Simon Parker and the WOTP are starting to dig deeper and writing some good stuff on the club.

    We all need to take a stand and say it's not acceptable how business like this has no direction and no ambition!

    Think about Bradford City for the next generation and the generation because they won't go to VP with nasty toilets and the ground looking a dump.. they won't be impressed with a team training at a school and they certainly won't be impressed with Bowyer like boring football. No chance!

    To all not going tonight I don't blame you! Oh it's freezing out!

    Love you all! Make a difference

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 Don't forget to post your answer on here to the simple question I asked of you and your mystery source. I'm sure even your 'mega busy' schedule would have time for this!

    Admin could be closer than many of us think.

    Don’t think it will happen but we launched an early ST campaign which must have failed. Fans want Bowyer out.

    Knock on effect is we’re now desperately budget balancing.

    Doyle recall was all a ploy to get more out of Swindon it seems.

    Now rumours are the top earners on the move and no funds about to replace them.

    We need investment badly

    It needs a floating charge holder, a director or a shareholder to place a business in to administration.

    Bradford City has two directors. Rupp and the Secretary Alan Biggin.

    Clydesdale/Yorkshire Bank have a floating charge on the the club’s assets which was taken out in 2005 and apparently remains outstanding.

    The first two aren’t putting the club in to admin and why would the latter? If Rupp allows an unpaid debt, possibly a revolving overdraft facility, to Yorkshire bank to tip the club into administration, he loses what he’s put in. I cannot imagine that scenario happening.

    Doyle is leaving because he’s not happy at City and Swindon will pay £50k for him, substantially less that what they offered earlier in the month. If the club was skint, he’d have gone on the 4th January for the £90k they offered plus saving another month salary.

    Vaughan allegedly said it’s me or Bowyer and in that scenario unless your name is Messi, the manager wins. He’s also allegedly not the most popular player and Tranmere is closer to his home etc. If the club were skint they’d not have given him a three year and wouldn’t have sent him on loan, they’d have sold him.

    If the club was truly skint more players would be leaving. Akpan, AOC and the injured Riley are on big money.

    I don’t think it will happen, but we aren’t in a good financial position and Rupp is not providing financial commitment to the budget anymore now moving on these two (unless we sign two more but thats unlikely) so admin, although unlikely, is still closer than many believe.

    Sooner Rupp sells up the better

    A creditor or a director can put a football club into Admin.

    Football fans don't need to to know about it until it happens..

    You saying it's an impossibility?

    Look, all I care about is progression and I don't see any from the club.

    You've just read Mike Hunt's post which gave you this information. But you still haven't said whoit is who is about to place the club in Administration? Go on, tell us all who it is because your mystery source must have heard it from somebody close to the action.

    Let's be quite blunt Fordy, the idea of the club going into administration being 'on the cards' as you described it is just your BS!

    It ain't gonna happen soon if Rupp thinks our club is worth £10m.

    No,I haven't read Mikes post at all and I knew the answer.

    Look, I never said I believed it did I? I said it's what I heard.

    You I quick to defend the club for not doing anything or progressing in anyway but then rule out something like this from happening?

    How do you know what Mr Rupp wants from the club?

    Yes, this maybe be BS and I hope it is but what's not BS is this club is going nowhere fast under Rupp and Rhodes? Or do you disagree with that? You happy standing still?

    Don't try and change the subject again. We're referring to your original post about administration 'being on the cards'.

    Now just remind me and show me where I have defended the club.

    It's worth what someone would pay for it just as any other commodity, our problem is if Rupp thinks he can run the club as Mark & Julian did, whilst trying to get us to the Championship he has a big job on his hands, it can be done Mark & Julian nearly achieved it under Parky's last season but they were both hands on.
    I wonder if it would take Rupp to sell up and go to get the old ethos back in our club, I genuinely thought things would change with Rahic out the door, Rupp supporting Bowyer financially, on paper quality players brought in who were above league two level with 14,000 fans backing ths club.
    Let's hope the comings and goings get us back on track and we go on to clinch a play off place at least.

    Fordy runs concerted campaigns against everyone at the club every season. In short, he wants everyone sacked. He jumps on anything that sows the seeds of discontent and uses it to justify his campaigns. We lose a game - he wants someone sacked. We sell a player - he wants someone sacked. We sign a player - he wants someone sacked. I'm a bit surprised he's jumped on this particular issue as it nullifies all he stands for. Nearing admin? - we're nowhere near being in a position to sack anyone then are we?

    Maybe the only thing keeping Bowyer and especially Drury in a job right now is that the board don't want to pay them off and then have to finance replacements.

    Not saying that means that we are destined for admin, but funds look very tight.

    You talk a lot of BS but this is a step to far.

    And don't back track by saying 'you only heard this'. You have given a solid opinion on Rupp and Rhodes based on it.

    You do realise that we are not covered by the rule you are thinking of as our admins pre date the change you are talking about
