James Mason

good luck to him, great guy

 

And the big awaited interview in the T&A with chief investigative reporter Simon Parker to get the real reasons Mason left.

Well what a surprise, i would never have guessed things were that bad behind the scenes. No really . We all knew Mason couldn't wait to get out of there ages ago. Won't be the first time thats happened in business, or the last. But taking us in point, stuff like this has ripped the heart out of us over the last 18 months, i'm not sure whether we have gone over the tipping point in terms of Rahic being able to get the supporters back on side. He has very little credibility left in the eyes of most fans now.

I don't quiet get this love in for James Mason. Six months ago he was backing Edin to the hilt and was quiet aggressive in his defence of the German owners on the radio and through social media. There was also the offensive 'I Believe' ticket campaign that was insulting to many supporters. It was straight from the Timeshare salesman copy book and was morally disreputable to treat fans with such a lack of respect. He appears to have lost favour with Edin as season ticket sales plummeted and was reduced to menial duties as Paula took up the reins. He's now the unofficial champion of the disgruntled but is he using the hostility towards Edin and Stefan as cover for his own failings?

 

lol.

go back to bed and start your day again pal x

 

That's just your opinion of course, you joined the forum today to deliver that comment, I'm not sure many will see it your way.
After Dave Baldwin left that position was a big step up for the lad, he made a few mistakes, don't we all but as for your above you don't have any idea what the guy was fighting against, a losing battle that he eventually gave up on, yes his dream job driven out by the guy you're making out he aggressively backed. lol.

 

This dream job stuff is a load of nonsense. He left because Edin didn't want him anymore and he's now behaving like a dumped teenage girl. James is on record saying he and Edin were like a married couple.

 

Please provide the link to that comment and you'll have a bit more credibility, James Mason knew after the first six months it was going to be a battle to get Edin to work within the previous successful model Bradford City had in place,remember the famous quote "why should we change things they are one of the reasons for buying the club". Stuart also fought a losing battle with Edin to try and make our club a success, and the first opportunity Edin go he sacked him, the rest as they say is history, from one disaster to another thanks Edin.
Yes of course he left, because Edin wouldn't allow him to do the job he was employed TO DO hardly rocket science,

 

It's in the Matter of Heart film. James also publicly slated McCall in the run up to his sacking saying results were unacceptable. If he knew after the first six months then why did he push the "I Believe" campaign 18 months in?

 

As CCO it was his job to generate sound bites like "I Believe" "hashtag£149" and the rest of the sales pitch during his time at Valley Parade.

I can't remember that comment either, I know Edin said it at the fans forum that he had agreed with Stuart they needed 6 points from the Bury home game and Oldham away game, after only getting a 2-2 draw from the Bury game why did edin wait until after the Oldham game, Mccall couldn't deliver his side of the deal

 

Post on here but not on main threads....Edinbot again...Ryan Sparks again?

 

hi Edin, hows it going?

You've done a great job letting Paula take up the reins - I don't think the woman could make a cup of tea, nevermind do her job well.
James Mason was ten times the CEO she is, and will ever be.
he did a terrific job, in increasingly difficult circumstances, just like Stuart McCall did. he left because he was pushed out, not because he wasn't doing a good job, but because Edin felt he knew better. it's going well so far.

 

Hi James,
I deal with facts not fiction.

 

Edins end of term report.

Must try harder.

 

Your case for the defence has crumbled Bronco.

 

No defence needed, James Mason is back in football, not sure Edin will be once he leaves our club for whatever reason .

 

Happy to leave it there.
