    I don't know but that rule only applies in the top division and as we have seen with red bull there are ways to circumvent it. I may only be imagining him saying that but it's there in the back of my head anyway, I guess his ideas would be heavily influenced by what he knows already but for whatever reason they can't implement them in Germany.

    When Rahic gets us to the PL and then loses any sense of humility and risks the viability of the club by signing David Hopkin then and only then will I be up in arms.

    Are you not going to mention Burton who beat Villa last night
    That must make us a top half championship club at the very least

    Exactly. The 50+1 rule applies only in the Bundesliga (their equivalent of the PL) and not in Bundesliga 2, 3 or 4. And even then doesn't apply to 3 of the 18 Bundesliga clubs owned by the big German companies VW, Bayer and SAP. I doubt very much that it played any part in R&R's decision to buy an English club.

    I suspect they were more driven by the potential riches of our own EPL (or even the Championship) .. but failed to understand the real difficulties in delivering it.

    I like the idea JulesMP thinks that the fans are causing us to lose games because we're causing a chink in our armour. thats magificent. There's absolutely no way that isn't directly from Edin Rahic.

    he's been blaming the fans for months now. negativity causing unrest. and anyone who doesn't blindly back him and his ideas isn't a true City fan.

    To play devil's advocate, how do you knows he blames the fans? I have never heard him say it's the fans' fault .

    What about if we get relegated and can’t even sell 5000 season tickets at £149, inevitably sending the club back into admin with a 10 point deduction and subsequent relegation to non league and probably extinction. Will you then be up in arms? It’s time to act now before any of the above happens.

    Ugh so depressing isn't it. This is our future. To quote The Smiths "I've seen it happen in other people's lives, now it's happening in mine!' I remember looking at the poor souls at Blackpool, Coventry, Charlton etc and thinking 'thank god it's not us'. Our time has come :(

    Yeah I was joking, it's obviously an absolutely farcical sh1t show and has been for ages. The only saving grace is the whole thing is so obviously ridiculous that there will be some unity from the fans, which will make Rahic' position difficult at some point soon.

    We won't have to do much will we? The atmosphere will be pretty toxic if things carry on as they are and at some point regardless of his determination, Edin and his obviously fragile ego, will throw in the towel or he'll be given the sack or Rupp will cut his losses.

    Haha. Any racism is clearly terrible and has no place in this debate or any other but let's be honest the only thing making us more vulnerable, more open to defeat is the fact our players aren't playing very well, which is because we have a joke of a Head Coach, a ridiculous framework for signing players, all being run by a man who is not only not qualified to be in his position, but blatantly not suited to this kind of job. I'm actually starting to think he's mad.

    Weren't you in that caturgory of fans thinking things would continue to improve when 2 new men took over the club.
    One being extremly wealthy compared with our past owners, I'd have thought that would have been the natural thought process of most Bradford City fans at the time of the take over.
