January transfer window

Easier to get rid of Adams, about 5k there tomorrow night I reckon, only atmosphere will be the Adams out and Rupp out chants!!!!!

 

Are you suggesting he was waiting f or a better offer and didn't get one ​

 

Adams realistically will be gone in the next couple of weeks, but whatever, who cares, it's collateral damage.

Stefan has to go.

 

I don’t know whether Rupp has made funds available or not I’m sure you don’t either. I do know Derek Adams is a massive fraud and a failure for his time so far, if he isn’t getting what he was promised why doesn’t he either come out and say or walk. Other clubs have issues with ownership and still manage to turn up and play some football on a Saturday. I have no issue at all with people wanting Rupp out I have said he is not the owner most would choose as he has no interest in football but without knowing the inner workings it’s hard to say he hasn’t done this or he hasn’t done that when in reality none of us know.

 

Imagine a club that would let a manager sell the club Captain and reshape the team before sacking him when the window shuts, no team would be stupid enough to do that would they? Oh wait it’s 2020 all over again, Sparks really has taken on board his mentors teachings…

Wanna know something really sexy?

Neither Hendrie nor Delfouneso can play tomorrow

 

I’m sure Rupp hasn’t provided funds, you only have to look at who we have brought in and have an ounce of footballing knowledge to realise that…

To know what the inner workings are, try looking back to when Rupp came and where we are now, 3 CEOs and 10 managers later and that will tell you all you need to know. This transfer window isn’t a one off, we’ve had multiple like this under different managers…

 

Yep, onto manager number, what 11? In 6 years? Maybe CEO number 4? In 6 years? Maybe captain number 506? In 6 years?

Give it up, Claret.

The man's a walking disaster area.

 

Bantams boss Derek Adams added: “We have pursued Nathan from the beginning of the January transfer window, and are now delighted to finally have the deal done.

“He has vast experience in the English game, and can play in a variety of different attacking positions.

“He is a direct, pacy player, with the ability to score goals and provide assists, so we are looking forward to seeing him in action for Bradford City AFC.”

Who the hell calls us Bradford City AFC? Another bullshit press release Adams had nothing to do with.

 

Most likely Sparks using our business name, he’s only ever worked under Rahic and Rhodes in football, what else can we expect?

 

Sparks was trained by Rhodes and it’s history repeating itself over and over again.

Appoint a steady ish pair of hands as manager who you know it’s unlikely will relegate you. We had it before in Todd, etc under Rhodes. But then when any form of offer in for a player sell them. Regardless of what planning has gone into a replacement and timing of it all.
see Jermaine Johnson and Dean Windass/vaughan and Doyle. Then sign a couple of shite stop gap players to appease the fans - Delfeounseo and Hendrie this time, in the past Buttefield on loan and Billy Clarke.
Keep doing this as the books are balanced and you sell a few tickets but never seriously speculate for promotion, just keep ticking along until eventually Shit hits the fan and you realise you will get relegated.

The only Time we had it good under Rhodes was when Lawn used everything and chucked s budget at a half decent manager in Parky.

Tell me this isn’t Rhodes influenced? Sparks is a carbon copy. Zero footballing brain but balances books.

 

Shambles

 

Of course it is.

Rhodes was the steady custodian we needed after an utter disaster that was Richmond. Look, I'm still not prepared to knock him for that. He's the risk averse general that got us nowhere, but actually nowhere was better than oblivion. It's since become a meme: "at least we're not Bury" - but for a while, that was a legit!

Now it's just pathetic.

Rhodes has convinced Rupp that he doesn't even need to bother. He's shown him that sustainable can be effective, so what does Rupp care now? The club can tick over, it won't lose him any money, he can hire a succession of CEO's and managers, who cares, one day it will click - that's what happened under Rhodes, what else can Rhodes teach?

Except Rhodes is wrong, it matters now, we're not a club that was recently in admin twice, we're not a fan base that will accept absolute risk averse nonsense simply because the status quo will placate a fearful fan base, the fan base ISN'T fearful of going out of business, nor should it be!

We're a club with an average attendance of 14,000 people PLUS. We're losing to teams that bring 140 fans to Valley Parade.

F*** off.

Rupp, you have no idea what you're doing. Rhodes, you shouldn't have taken office back, you were a worst case scenario CEO, go away. We don't need you, this isn't your time. Sparks, you've no idea, mate, and it's painful. Your schooling was the worst.

Time to clear the decks, no ifs, buts, maybes.

Folk that want Adams out, take him, nobody cares anymore. But that won't protect the idiots at the top.

GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.

We're not scared anymore.

 

I mean you only have to look at Mansfield who have turned it around and signed a fantastic player for this league in Matty Longstaff. How does that signing come about and we never get anyone like that ever?

When we beat them 3-2 they were looking like relegation candidates and now will probably go up automatically.

 

Your correct it was the way Rahic dealt with the
new contract offer, McCall played him in several positions that season and don't I remember him letting us down, unlike FCD and Threlkeld have done this season.

 

Don't you go worying your little head I'll pay my debts and show proof unlike @Fordy117.

 

Selling our Captain on deadline day. Utter clueless this club.

For the love of Bradford City get Rupp, Sparks or Adam out! All 3 would be nice but one of them has to go and go now!

 

Who you on about?

 

Alternatively, it could be argued Adams has fundamentally weakened the squad in selling one of only 3 (ot 4 if you include Staunton) specialist centre backs and signed two non scoring forwards. Weakening both our attack and defence.

A couple of poor results and we could soon drop down the table. If Cook is injured we're in trouble.
