Most liked posts in thread: James Mason - Returning?

Main Street in Cross Hills was shut for two hours when it came through. It's not just the race its the number of cyclists it encourages. Sack it off. Sack them off. The reason they have no money is they put it all into this and are now in breach of contract for cancelling next year. Why have they cancelled ? Becaus ethe councils dont want them clogging up the street.

 

The pointy shoes would improve most of the shooting

 

Two hours? First World problems eh?

 

Need some more rupp apologists, track record with edin is proven

 

Just said on Radio Leeds he can't talk about his next role but people 'won't be surprised' perhaps he is going to be doing more work with dementia as I think he's launching a cafe and has talked about more

 

I've got a theory on this, could it be that Bradford have been given the "nod" that they have won the City of Culture bid and he is going to be heading it up ?

 

They appointed a new CEO two weeks ago Broncs.

 

I suspect Edin was such a bully that no one dare stand up to him

 

Of course he knew the goings on at the club but as with all other employees working at Valley Parade Edin micro managed him, to the extent that his emails went through Silkie Edin wife, Edin was such a deceitful ### he conned Rupp completely.
Why do you think it took John Dewhirst and another fan to get meetings with Stefan before he acted bringing Julian back into the club and Edin had to answer to Julian who would pass it on to Stefan, Edin spun Rupp tails about the unrest at Bradford City being down to the fans frustrations and once again Rupp believed him, previously to the meetings Rupp would not entertain a bad word about Edin.
Of course his hands were tied working for an idiot who took no notice of any offer of help, I believe when he left (I believe James resigned) he was not allowed to talk about his time at Valley Parade under Rahic, but your wrong with regards the DMs him playing along until it went tits up, things were coming out from the club during the closed season (Stuarts second season) when Edin had asked Stuart to resign, fully backed by Rupp because Edin had filled him with crap and actually took part credit for getting us to Wembley, only an owner with no football knowledge or allegiance to his business would have fallen for that.
Without doubt Mason is an ambitious man, I think you can sleep well as I very much doubt he'll be returning to Valley Parade

 

I'm sure anyone who went against Rahic would soon find themselves out of a job, he said as much in the interview with dumb & dumber, it's was his way or the highway, "I want everyone pulling together" (even though others knew it was not working).
James knew he had no future at Valley Parade and left after many clashes with Rahic, you couldn't get through to the guy he was so self centred and egotistical he wouldn't take advice even when the person giving the advice had previous experience, the man was a fruit cake, and when anyone challenged him he called them out for being against him, knowing full well he'd get Rupp's backing.

 

For the reasons I posted go along with Edin or lose your job, he tried to change it from within but couldn't hence he left.
But the goings on behind the scenes started from day one when Parky told Edin what he could do with his job, he wasn't having anyone involved with the running of the football side.
It continued after Stuarts appointment, if you ever bump into Greg Abbott he'll tell you some of the stunts Rahic pulled, ironically Greg didn't resign when his good buddy McCall was sacked, but then again Greg had a family to feed and a mortgage to pay just as James Mason had.

 

James Mason is probably a nice bloke but when I hear him speak I just hear someone who sounds glib, insincere and self serving

I also suspect he drinks bottled Belgian lager and could be a vegan.

Other than that, he is a top bloke !

 

Another one who drifts from job to job.

 

Execs often go in with a specific brief and limited life span. Mate of mine ran a large very well known company with the aim of getting it ready for a sale, he was always only going to be there two or three years. I think Mason went in to turn it around after some bad results under the previous boss.

 

Laziness?

 

Will take him if he is getting us ready for a sale (can but dream)

 

Agreed. He makes Sparks look like the boy in class who never speaks. Not for me.

 

And myopia

 

Secretly had to Google myopia...

But yes

 

Agree.
