    Until we get rid of Rhodes and Rupp I don't see how we will be in a better position.

    We should have been this season and so far it's been a massive let down.

    True though :confused:

    We can't say we will be better next season when we operate like we did in the last transfer window and we sit 9th in an awful league.

    Interesting reading, 21000 stadium for £14m, wow, I thought St Helens new ground was about £25m?

    Bradford? Nope, it can't be done, not possible, nowt wrong with VP or where it is, forget about it............

    I am aware of their commitment to the club. However, I cannot overlook that they paid themselves dividends when the club was in debt. I am not a financial expert, but they must have signed papers to allow this debt to be incurred, at the same time or shortly after they paid themselves dividends. That to me is the equivalent of going on a luxury cruise and maxing the credit card out, with no guarantees on how they were going to pay it back. It is complete contrast to how Rhodes has operated since. The club was in no position to pay shareholder dividends, they must have known that?

    This is what happens every time this issue comes up. If they paid it back, is there any evidence that this happened?

    Look me and @Dennis@Dennis have had run in's and I respect him as a mod and a poster but I don't agree with everything he says.

    As, for me backing things up, as much as you say I am boring well this site is in major danger if everything has to be factual and I am sure @king karl@king karl doesn't want a boring site in which it's just based on facts!

    I suppose my point about Rhodes and Rupp has been drilled home plenty of times and it's out of frustration. I read comments from yourself and others says Rupp is here, nothing we can do blah blah but it's like we accept anything.

    McCall comes back - yeah, let's all accept it
    Rupp - is not investing in us and couldn't care- Yeah let's all accept it
    Rhodes - is running the club to the ground - yeah let's all accept it.

    Liverpool would be be struggling right now if the fans didn't come together to get their previous owners out.

    West Ham fans coming together to get their current owners out

    Newcastle fans, Man Utd fans. Blackpool fans.

    Now, yes some owners will stay and people will think what's the point in trying? Well the point is they care and they want BETTER! They want to try to make a difference!

    What's boring is being acceptable!

    Unfortunately, he boreing FACT is under Rupp and Rhodes the club has gone backs! Forget Edin, these are the boring facts you want!

    So, yes I don't know you but I care about Bradford City and what I see is too many fans thinking about cheap season tickets instead of wanting what's best for the club.

    Sorry, to bore you but facts are boring in football.. winning is all that counts and improving!

    See I find this boring!

    Evidence? It's not a court of law! It's a forum!

    If your love is for Rhodes just say... it should be for the club though.

    I'm sure we can move to a 25,000 seater stadium but I thought we already had one?

    Where's this? No way can you build at 21,000 seater stadium for £14 million.

    I thought it was cheap. I think Salfords 5,000 meccano stadium was about 4 to 5 million and that's shite. Be interesting to see what Peterborough come back with cost wise for their new stadium. Now there's a chairman that gets things done.

    3 seasons more than us then. Put it this way, this club would be transformed under his ownership.

    He's not perfect I guess no one is. Just seems to done pretty well with a club that has no real history to speak of. If he pulls of the new stadium that's a big step toward the future. Not sure where the crowds to fill it will come from though.
