Apart from when he was a Leeds fan pre 1998

 

Where does him being a Leeds fan come from he was a ball boy at City during his early years.

 

Rahic, as destructive as he was, shouldn't be used as a convenient straw man to justify failure or lack of progress.

Other basket case clubs seem to be able to get their sh*t together on the pitch (Coventry, Blackpool, Bolton).
Not to mention the plethora of glorified pub teams that have over taken us in the last few years on shoestring budgets.
So it begs the question why on earth do we need 5yr 'transitional periods' when we have one of the most competitive budgets in the division? Yet we can't even make the playoffs?
As Roy Keane would say, it's 'nonsense'.
With the right ethos, the right setup, the right mindset we should be pissing this league.

Sparks is right about one thing... its an embarrassment that were still in this league.
And the club hierarchy (inc directors) need to show a bit of humility and take some responsibility instead of pointing the finger at Rahic years after his departure.

 

No idea. It was mentioned on here a week or so ago.

 

I'd take no notice mate, as I say he was a ball boy at City as a kid.

 

Probably the last time he felt a ball as well.

 

By my reckoning the start of the season will be longer since Rahic left than the time he was at City. To blame him now is starting to be a stretch of credibility, this season coming, there can be no excuses for failure. It’s on Ryan, it’s on the new manager, the players and if he’s still the owner, most of all it’s on Rupp.

 

Time for Rupp to stand up and shout 'I'm spartacus'

 

This.

Why are teams that are on their knees getting promoted at the first attempt, and we take five years at a time?

Totally agree on the minnows overtaking us too. In fact, people laugh at League Two being the khazi league or whatever, but when you look at League One it's not much better....
