With regards Hopkin not knowing if Rahic is leaving, it's a bit like Arsene Wenger not seeing the incident when questioned on Match of the Day

 

Good riddance to bad rubbish, but what a unholy mess he leaves to sort.

 

I don’t think Stefan will give 2 hoots about Edin, they weren’t friends in anyway and I’d guess there is a bit of resentment towards Edin for cocking up what was probably one of the easiest take overs in the football league.. as we all know, all they needed to do was let PP and his team buy 3 or 4 top quality players and we’d likely have got promoted

 

Sorry BL no sympathy whatsoever for Rahic.

Only a fool would have come in and ripped up the blueprint that had been working so well under the previous board, manager, coaching staff and staff behind the scenes. Rupp is culpable for allowing him to do so for so long too.

All that was needed was a chat with Parky to convince him that he could still run the football side of itl his way, and ask what was needed to help us to continue the steady progress, and get us to the next level. It still infuriates me that Rahic thought he knew better.

So good riddance, hope he never steps foot in our stadium or City again

 

There is a pretty good chance of that, admittedly, but who knows...

... There's no one at the club left to blame for the state of the squad assembled, so genuinely see nothing else for it but to back City to the hilt - not as a happy clapper, but in order to back a group of players and a manager with a MASSIVE job on their hands.

We have to finish 20th this season, end of.

January feels a long way away, and maybe it is damage limitation until then, but if we can keep in touch, bring in some real ability, offload the ones that capitulate as soon as it gets tough, who knows.

Football is a funny old game.

 

Someone go check on @Park bantam and @banbrotam - theyll be distraught.

 

The David Cameron of lower league football. Cause one mighty mess, walk away, let someone else try to fix it.
(Not that I'm complaining, just wish that he'd never set foot in Bradford.)

 

I’d go with the words of Steve Dennis over your tripe any day of the week.

 

I'm not the gap tonight was huge and it's not that long ago that we were actually up around that kind of level. This guy has ruined the club in the short/medium term. Frankly he is a cowardly so and so too he hasn't got the balls or the fight in him to sort his mistakes. I'm not sure Rupp has the appetite to invest and that's a big worry for me. Quite how he has failed so miserably is beyond me a blind man riding a horse could easily have seen the way forward was to invest in Parky and let him do his thing. The sooner hes gone the better!

 

Don't believe what you read in the paper. They were not investors. They were exactly as I posted the other day.

 

I think Edin has been told to go, or his position has been made so uncomfortable he’s jumping before he’s pushed. I can’t see this being his decision, this is not him giving up his dream, it’s him being booted out.

 

We were playing the best home side in the country with a depleted defence.. we were never getting a result from that game.. the games in December will tells us how doomed we are

 

It doesn’t take the most informed fan to be aware that Rahic is on his way, what isn’t yet public knowledge is the nuts and bolts of his departure, other investors to buy his 22% stake, Rupp to own the club 100%, or a bit of both ?

JR to run the show, DH to run the squad.

Hard days ahead, however Rupp will start to be on a nice little earner, whilst the club pays his loan off. Vastly different set-up to the last ownership.

Rupp could be heavily criticised for what seems to be his indifference to the damage Rahic inflicted on the club, a little like how the Roades left BFG to run the show.

Rupp will have learnt the lesson, and want regular feed-back from the new arrangement.

The main question is the purse strings, will the budget go back to Pre-Rahic days.

We know, or are very confident that managing the side and signings will be entirely down to the footballing staff.

We’re on the journey through the woods, however that journey back has just started.

Eventually we’ll be back to where we were, maybe 5years to get there again, certainly if we’ve to do it via League two again.

Unless of course Rupp is prepared to put a bit of extra our way, don’t hold your breath.

The most soul destroying thing about all this is it is so pointless, it wasn’t needed.

One mans twisted vision, told by fan and club employee alike, but ignored by arrogance and contempt alike.

 

to be quite honest - I don't give a toss who knows what or why it was a late call to cancel, or who's repaying the money - aslong as Rahic leaves the club.

without even going ahead the good people who contributed from Bantam Talk and SOC1903 have made a real difference in helping our club, and for that I think we can be very proud.


not @Park bantam though. he's done nothing to help. we've achieved this inspite of folk like him. but thems the breaks.

 

good for you.

idiotic shambles you may call it, but like it or not, it's forced change.

your idea of sitting down and having a nice pot of tea with Edin and talking it through wouldn't.
sitting down with the supporters trust hasn't.
an interview with Bantams Banter hasn't
WOAP publishing interviews with McCall, and writing critical articles hasn't
James Mason leaving didn't force change, infact he left exactly because he COULDN'T force change even from his position!

but this HAS. 64 people from a fan forum and a start-up protest group have managed to make a difference. and it shows folk like you and other detractors that we aren't and weren't "all talk" - we stood up and did something, and its worked.

you can thank us later, because if we'd continued down your path, and carried on supporting and encouraging that absolute moron we'd most certainly be staring right down the barrel of liquidation of the club as we know it today.

now we might just have a fighting chance of recovery from the absolute shit creek Rahic has left us up, because our action has forced Rupp to ring Julian and tell him to bring his paddle.

 

As a moderator is it appropriate for you to be criticising people and other posters for spelling and grammatical errors without knowing if said individual has any reasoning and causation as to why their grammar and spelling may be poor, or not up to your level of appreciation and the standard that you expect? If so, then I'd assume you would make sure yours was spot on too.

 

Until it's on the official website and he has sold his shares then I don't believe it.

 

Simon Parker confirming it fecks up the club and does one thanks you absolute tool Rahic

 

Good feck off, all that hard work down the drain. It took years to get out of that swamp league, but in doing so created some of my best memories as a football fan. All that feels a waste now, who knows how long it will take to get back up.
