    He will buy some nice coffee but mix it with some really cheap and nasty stuff from Aldi, no milk or sugar to go with it, then forget to put water in the kettle before boiling it.

    How on earth is it a WINNER?

    You been to the games this season? Every single game and in most of them the manager, players, owners have been an embarrassment we've supported the team.

    So what else do you want us to do? Oh that's right try to convince your mate, family member, ex city goer to come along for a pound. You might want to lie to people close to you but I won't.

    Div 1 or Div 2 under Edin and Rupp this club is in serious trouble. Until they sell up then then just clapping City players won't be enough.

    City fans get behind the team anyway. Now we need to get behind getting these owners out!

    Thanks mate and great to meet you at the Darby Night the other week.

    I had a couple of texts from Edin last Friday and he said he was going to ring me this week, but hasn't. I don't expect him to now to be honest.

    I take your point completely about packing out VP. It is a challenge, but let’s look at it another way. This is JR’s idea, and if it comes off it demonstrates to Stefan just where the problem lies.

    If Rahic could pass through a little more quickly I'd appreciate it EB

    There's only one major problem Rich. Do I need to spell it out? It's obvious to most of us.

    Rahic needs to go if we are to have any future. It's not even debatable, surely.

    Not withstanding all of the above, I take Jason's point about suspending our boycott of home games given the recent change, giving Rhodes and our team the best chance of avoiding the drop.

    I'm behind the fly over and think it should still go ahead and don't think we should buy when in the ground but I could support fans going in to support the team with Rhodes at the helm and show Rupp what can happen if Rahic is removed.

    The team is entirely a product of Rahic. If you hadn't been in space you'd know that.

    I have to say that the current squad are doing so little to endear me that.......... well they have not won yet!

    I support the notion of the football team that is Bradford City, despite the current incarnation.

    However I cannot, on the present evidence, support Rahic and the absentee Rupp.

    Does that make sense?

    It feels like Edin has effectively been 'sacked'. The difference here is that he can't be 100% removed from the set up as he still has a stake in the club until somebody buys him out.
    As long as he has absolutely zero input into day to day decision making then that's probably the best we could all hope for at this stage. The next few weeks will be very telling I think.

    Maybe Fordy is being supported by eating/drinking his miget, a French sort of soupy bread and butter pudding in red wine? The red wine might explain some of his comments :)

    Morning Jason,

    Glad I have your attention.

    Sorry, I fully disagree.

    As I am sure you're aware the Bradford City fans have been nothing short of amazing st the games. A club that's only won twice on a Saturday in a calendar year so far to get the backing it does makes me proud.

    However, to even suggest you want more from them and for them not to voice their concerns when it's crystal clear that Edin and Rupp have ruined the club is an embrassment.

    How much more do you expect fans to take?

    We lost 3k fans and them fans won't write into the club to tell the club why they're not attending. We will lose another 1-3k if Edin and Rupp stay. I believe in football you've let fans air their views and as the recent poll in the T &a A states most blame the owners.

    I really don't care if you had pawn sandwiches with Mr Rhodes and maybe you know the situation is worse than what it really is but until Edin and Rupp sell up then this club is going to the wall.

    Sorry, it's time WOAP start supporting the fans. I mean how much money do we have to spend in Jan? Considering the owners haven't put their hands in their pockets to buy players nothing.

    So, Mr Rhodes coming back changes everything? I think not.

    I admire your work and you sound a nice man but it's not a time to be nice when the club I love is in serious trouble.

    Back the fans!

    Jason, I think the vast majority on here who read Width of a Post, fully appreciate the publication’s stance on the current state of Denmark Bradford City and where you believe the responsibility lies. WOAP articles strike a chord with most of us on here.

    We recognise that you have a different relationship with R&R, than Bantams Talk, in particular given the demise of Boy from Brazil (although there may well have been more to that). Bantam Talk has a very broad base of fans, predominantly adults. Sometimes the comments of one or two are slightly idiosyncratic, some deliberate to provoke a reaction, others rather perplexing, and some ....... well just something!

    You may have seen that I put something on BT about the difficulties WOAP have had in arranging an interview with Rahic (and presumably Rupp), that was based on comments in the City Gent editorial and may well be somewhat out of date. Have you or anyone else for that matter had any discussions with either of the owners since the infamous (hollow?) ‘Sorry’ statement in September?

    When R&R came in, from a personal point of view they were ‘unknowns’. I did think that Rahic’s history and how he apparently had gained enough personal wealth to purchase the club, was somewhat ‘unclear’. I was taken aback by some of his comments and his stance about ‘Football’. The subsequent demise of City, and his what could be termed as aloof behaviour, has only served to jaundice my opinion. It will require a vast amount of remedial work (evidence based) on Rahic’s part, to change to the better.

    In respect of packing VP, I think that may well be a little optimistic. I think you could also look at it from the stance of, ‘this demonstrates the depth of feeling and damage done to the relationship between Club and Supporters’.

    What puzzles me is the statement that Julian's return was 'shock news'. It was strongly rumoured on here ages ago. And the suggestion that it was only first mooted on Sunday is also hard to believe.

    For me another unresolved issue is whether or not our owners are taking money out of the club to finance their ownership, and whether this will continue irrespective of Rahic's official position or involvement in day to day matters.

    So if Rhodes is in control, what is Rahic’s new role and what input does he have? Is he in charge of Rhodes?
