    Unfortunately some will say he's mischief making, those who know James Mason will know better, if he says it's serious it will be, just as @Onside87@Onside87, @Lard Arse@Lard Arse and others have alluded to.

    It's serious Broncs. Rahic and Rupp wouldn't countenance this if it wasnt

    Jason refers to the word 'serious' in one of his WOAP responses. He also states that, things not in the public domain, suggesting Rahic won't be here by the end if the season.

    How close to admin are we?

    It is serious, he's right. Suggest everyone takes his advice.

    Yet the master of the downfall of this great club remains & is still picking up a wage. I worry that another admin is just around the corner.

    I am certain this is a genuine comment from JM and one we cannot ignore. It seems to me we really do now have 2 choices 1) get behind JR, DH and the players as best we can or 2) continue to ramp up the pressure on SR and ER - I just dont think it is going to be in our best interests or possible to do both.
    I still desperately want ER out of the club as soon as possible but if we are being honest it is going to take some time for all the things we want to happen to actually occur - and even then we are going to have to accept a framework that has lots of loose ends to tie up.
    I have been told morale and the mood at the club has lifted with the return of JR and there is a feeling of fresh hope - but there is a mountain to be climbed to get us back on track.
    So I think option 1) has to be the way forward - for our chances of saving the season. I would far rather we fight this battle in a positive environment rather than one of mass negativity but dont get me wrong, if I see Rahic I would still bluntly tell him he has no place at our club as he has been the worst thing to happen to us in my time of supporting City (obvious events excluded).
    So I will be cheering the team on at Aldershot on Saturday and trying get a mindset that what we have to do starts here - we cant change the abysmal first few months of the season but it doesn't have to define what happens during the remaining course of 18/19. I know the odds are stacked against us but I have had enough of feeling s..t about my club, so time for a change of attitude from me (and for gods sake, please dont say I am becoming a happy clapper! :rolleyes::))

    Stop moaning as Park and his minions have said, nothing to worry about we are only bottom because of lack of luck and our useless fans not clapping the rubbish, erm sorry I mean team until our hands drop off. It doesn’t matter how crap the club is run fans should never criticise, nor demand for competent owners.

    It is very serious behind the scenes let's just say he told a few people at the Rochdale game quite a few home truths about the club and things aren't rosy on alot of fronts and no he isn't stirring the pot but saying it how it is.

    At each turn it’s feeling more serious. The corporate box early payments are ringing alarm bells for me. The long ‘holiday’ back in Germany and the lack of desire or urgency to return to back the manager and communicate with the fans does n’t feel right. Would n’t be a shock for me if they are searching for a way out with as much as they can take. Does anyone really believe they would pump in money to keep us going whilst we sink and then float in League Two never mind invest further to get us back out. They’ve screwed themselves (and us) big time. If not then come out now and tell us.

    I might be wrong but I got the sense from @Dennis@Dennis posts a little while back that there appeared to be sufficient cash reserves for this current season?? My concern would be that apart from a cup run, there isn't much income left to come in this season. We've had the season ticket money, and selling a few extra programmes isn't going to make much difference.

    I'd speculate that Rupp isn't going to fund the club further if the fanbase is half what it was. But, the value of the club is also massively eroded by the drop off in attendance. I think it is Rupp's view that isn't in the public domain that is potentially devastating to the club without an upturn in fortunes.

    I know there are various rumours about Edin Rahic flying around, but I can't see those being the 'serious' that both WOAP and James Mason are asserting.

    I've posted somewhere are there any sponsors on here who can confirm they have been asked for their installments paying early ?.

    There seems to be talk that Rahic is definitely on his way out, just not yet. Selling a football club is never an overnight process and I think people have to accept that it's not all going to happen at once.

    I do fear for the club if we are relegated, Hopkin and the players need to be the focus now. I feel a bit easier about things knowing a man who understands Bradford City is back on board. Let's just pray we can somwhow get out of this mess.

    I think it’s only a matter of time before Rahic goes. He can’t come back from this surely and, if there is any hint of truth in the various allegations circulating, he has to go. I think more will come out over the next few weeks about the state of the club behind the scenes. I don’t believe Mason is shit stirring, and relegation would be a problem.

    What would help enormously is a statement on that Julian’s role is, how long he’s in the building for., what Edin’s new role is and what his exit plan is, there can be no doubt he’s on borrowed time at VP. Do that and a lot of the mistrust will start to recede.

    The rest of this season could shape City for the next five years or more, relegation and it’s a long long way back in my opinion.

    So we have people in the know again! But none of these people that are in the know, won't say f##k all AGAIN!

    PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

    Let's have some truths....

    However serious it is I would rather know, we have been supporting the team and will continue to do so.
