Why are you on a mission to discredit a former chairman, whose family are still one of our main sponsors.
Also why bring this up after his death.
Give it a rest

@Steampig
I‘m just wondering what you expected,when you asked for our thoughts about Tordoff on your original post?
Did you expect the majority to agree with you?
Are you disappointed that virtually to a man/woman,everybody disagrees with your viewpoint and cannot grasp why you want to sling so much mud at somebody who’s been dead for 18 months?
Are you disappointed that we aren’t rounding up a posse to storm the VP boardroom to rip down any
reference to Tordoff.
Are you also disappointed we aren’t organising a march on JCT 600 headquarters at Apperley Bridge demanding they withdraw all connections to Bradford city?
This is obviously the most emotive subject in City’s history.
Do you not think from the responses you’ve received that it’s time to accept that your thoughts are different to the majority of other fans and leave it there? -

Fine.
I’m just a bit bothered by something in your original post
“As a chairman, personally I didn't rate him at all as anything special nor did I feel he did much for the club (after initial £30k? Buying of club and stopping club winding up).”
So you don’t think he did much for the club after stopping the club from being wound up and probably going out of business.
You’ve rubbished the most important thing he did(save the club) with what appears to be a throwaway comment.
It’s a long time ago but you seem to be well informed about what happened.
I don’t remember a load of people kicking down the door to put a substantial amount of money forward to save the club.
If you know different perhaps you can enlighten us.
You are bang right about the 87/88 funding issue.
But guess what?
Football chairmen make mistakes.
It happens.
But I think these mistakes are often made for the right reasons.
Once again,if you know different,enlighten us.
In your reply to @Rogered Tart you say you don’t want to speak publicly.
Why?
You’ve bothered to register for here and make lots of claims.
Have the courage of your convictions and make public “what you’re ranting about”

Honest thoughts. The man and his business served this club well. I don't know the man personally but others I know who have met him paint a picture of a decent man who achieved a lot in the time he was on this earth. As with the victims of the tragedy, I hope he rests in peace.

Have no feelings either way on Jack Tordoff as never met the bloke and also don’t give a feck what any rooms at the clubs are called. Really don’t care.

For what it's worth, and before you jump to any other conclusion, I wasn't a personal fan of JCT. Despite that, I see little point in revisiting what has happened and cannot be undone. The time for a full inquiry into our tragedy has long since passed and no blame can be attached to Tordoff for that.Kevin1954, meelin, Bronco and 1 other person like this. -

I think one of the things about Jack Tordoff which differentiates him from Geoffrey Richmond, was the fact that Jack actually liked and actively supported City by coming to matches, even after he ceased to be a shareholder. He was a football man in the sense he was a high profile supporter, who actually enjoyed football.
I am quite happy to be corrected, but I am not aware that GR set foot in Valley Parade, after he sold his share. Jack was often seen at Valley Parade over the decades.
His firm has been one of the major sponsors of City for decades.
His legacy as a chairman is a bit underwhelming, but unlike others in Bob Martin 1981, and Geoffrey Richmond 2002, he actually didn’t create a financial crisis, or undermine the progress like Rahic in 2018.Onside, Bronco and Idlebantam like this. -

I’ll break it down for you.
You asked me -
“You’re absolutely fine with everything”
I responded with -
“I am indeed”
Which bit of that are you lost with? -
