    If this is true I’d welcome virtually anybody buying the club if it meant the clown who knows football and his mute sidekick disappeared.

    I'm not bothered about a bit of banter, I'm enjoying discussing it actually, certainly more than watching that crap on the pitch today. But you told me to wind my neck in, i'm just pointing out you came for my post.

    You misrepresented my post by saying I was the one who said the owners have ambition, when I was just pointing out what Lawn had said 2 year ago. And missing my point that I don't blame Lawn for the lack of investment now, my problem with him is his desperation to tell us how great the new owners were at the time, when like Rhodes he should have just left quietly.

    Hehe fair point. He gives easy ammunition though, I can't say the same things about Rhodes as Lawn, and for all I know Lawn might be a better owner than Rhodes, but I doubt it.

    That's one of the problems of social media, people are quite freely allowed to post bollocks.

    Mark Lawn is not involved in any new takeover if he was he would have said so by now.
    Leopards never change their spots.
    We all know his past with the club he craves media attention why would he not shout this latest revolation from the top of Bradford Cathedral.
    If there is some form of truth in a possible buy out I would exspect it to come from the Lancashire area.

    I would take Mark Neale as a reliable source.

    If that’s true then surely Rupp has to invest? Why wouldn’t he want to sell the club given that by holding onto it and not investing then we’re going down the shitter!

    Only one of the current owners has deep pockets and from the outset it seems he was never going to dig very deep,
    The secondary owner seems typical of a CEO playing with someone else's money until the money tap is turned off . He now has very little scope for manoeuvre without taking on debt, this is without none or very little capital to borrow against himself

    Its the only post on that screen shot that has any credibility. Did the others actually read what they had written before posting? I mean, asking Lawn if he wants it back FFS :D:D:D.

    Get that but if the previous chairman were both out of the Rhodes mould, we would never have heard a thing. Lawn was an assault on the eyes, (sorry Mark) but at least we got information about our club

    This begs the question “why wouldn’t Rupp want to sell?”

    Unless it’s just that he won’t sell at the price that he’s being offered.

    Very true, but it wasn't information about the club he was giving out regarding the new owners. He was bragging he'd done great business for the club getting in owners to take the club forward, only problem is he was talking shit. The proofs in the pudding.

    Because he is in a fortunate position to be able to write off his investment.
    While his investment lets say is £4/5 million is only a dream to me, to him it is a business mistake to move on and not invest any further funds into.
    To invest another £1-2m there is no guarantee he will get a return and he's another 25-30% in.
    Hey will get some money back from his original investment as we are always worth something, its just that nett worth is diminishing as we go further down the league
