    As I see it, the problem with most fans is that Edin's action on and off the pitch, real and mythical have reduced his standing with many fans to such a low level that I don't know how he can ever turn it around. The fact that some staff were sacked because of what they said to others or did or couldn't do in their jobs; that others resigned to go to another job closer to home or that one resigned because he wasn't offered the job he felt he deserved is all blamed on Rahic. He is certainly responsible for many things at VP and as the omnipresent co-owner, he sets the tone and the atmosphere within the club. But to blame him for everything negative at VP without exception is unfair. But imo he'll never turn that around now and I don't see a future for our club with him at the helm.

    It's obviously Edin's fault.

    Edin cannot be blamed for a kitman with a way to high self opinion and can't control himself. That ain't gonna save him though. Sands of time are running low for Rahic and his reign at City.

    Asset stripping is the latest one. What assets are there to strip? A FL share? Future season ticket income?

    The players are worth nothing. We don't own VP or the training ground.

    A very reasonable post and one which I agree with. The reason I asked my original question was because he is falsely getting blamed for everything. Rumours I know to be untrue have become fact. However I agree his position at the club has become untenable.

    Yup. In my opinion, they paid more for the club than it is worth in terms of physical assets, revenue streams, playing assets etc and the real winners were ML and the Rhodes'. R&R are going to have to spend several years 'stripping their assets' before they can hope to recover the €6mill they paid for the club, if ever.

    They definitely bought at the top of the curve.

    Another thing they got wrong. Paying over the odds for a 'name' with no real tangible assets. They would have been better picking up a struggling club for peanuts and shoving their money into its infrastructure rather than spunking money on a club that was punching above its weight.

    Naming himself as Director of Football, with his statement ‘I know football’!

    Frankly he doesn’t. This is evidenced by the direction that he, as the self appointed Chief Officer, has taken the club.

    If he was not the owner, then he would have been sacked/resigned months ago.

    They were badly advised by somebody!

    Consider our opponents yesterday who were also sold by their former owners around the same time as R&R bought us. Just as ML&JR did, the former owners of Pompey came clean and said they didn't have the resources to get Pompey promoted to the Championship and become established there. So they sold the club and their ground to a new owner who could take them forward for £5.5mill. About the same time, R&R bought our club without its own ground for in excess of €6mill. Trying to be objective about it, I wonder who got the better deal?

    And their fanbase will quite happily pay £300 for a season ticket.

    Madness isn't it. There is way more mileage in Portsmouth Fc than Bradford City Fc. If i was a businessman looking to invest in football its a no brainer. If Rahic or Rupp had asked me their opinion on investing their reputed millions they paid for Bradford i would have told them they would be stark raving mad to pay that sort of money.

    Well clearly not everything is his fault. However, as @Dennis@Dennis has stated and it coincides with what I believe, he is responsible for creating the work environment that all employees and players have to work in. If we have a high turnover of staff the. Any business would want to know why that is happening, because it destabilises the business and the club then loses expertise and experience.

    I heard yesterday that current players complained that this is the worst run club they have been too. This information came from Tuesday night. Of course they might be trying to direct flak elsewhere, but they are not on their own. Sponsors of the club have come on here complaining of lack of contact, and inability to have a conversation with anyone, and end up cancelling their sponsorships.

    In my view Rahic position is untenable which you have also come to the same conclusion.

    I have this theory, completely without foundation I'll quickly add, that when they bought our club, R&R also believed they were buying VP itself! That must have been a surprise for them! :)

    For 6 million they were 90 minutes away from having a championship club with what would have been 20k+ season ticket holders.

    Which other club could you buy with that?

    The only mitigating factor for them, is we were on the verge of the Championship. If we got there the club would be worth £10m overnight.

    However, they didn't invest in that team and the rest is history.
