    I thought Rupps name was on the banner too?

    It was about getting rid of Rahic apparently. Mixed messages or what

    I it was about getting at least one of the owners out both as rupp just sat back and let the other fecking idiot run riot around the club. People were quick enough to ask for a bit of leaniancy towards rahic which was given. That now goes for rupp and if he fecks it up I'm sure the supporters will let him know. No mixed messages just some what don't want to work logic out.

    Rupp is as much to blame if not more so than Edin for this mess.

    If Rupp does take full control then in Jan he has to seriously put his hands in his pocket and buy some players with his own cash.

    If he feels Hopkin is the man then back him or we will go down. Suppose a lot depends on our next 3 games which for me we have to win them all.

    If you notice rupp only started to act when stories started to appear in national papers maybe Edin thought he could keep it from him therefore hiding the fact it was going downhill faster than Franz klammer. Once he found out started making phone calls to find out what was happening and is now acting on them.

    I think it was a phone call to him that triggered it

    They can't change the name and if they leave our home colours as claret and amber I wouldn't care about anything else. Our nickname,away colours,badge,stadium, can all change for me if they wanted. Red Bull are successful at whatever they do and I want a successful Bradford City.

    The good times will come again.

    For no other reason than blind optimism I think we'll have a resurgence over the next couple of years, even if we go down. I think we'll get a bit of investment and build a quality team for the next couple of seasons.

    Maybe Rupp just looked at a league table, even a non-football fan can see being at the bottom of the pile isn't conducive to success :)

    Rupp and Rahic aren't long standing mates. I think it was simply a case of Rupp being briefed by Rahic for a while, being taken in by what he was saying at arms length, but then arriving at a point whereby Rahic couldn't bullshit his way through it any more.

    I'd imagine the 4-0 loss to Gillingham was the tipping point.
