Open Dialogue

Don't know if I've missed the point Bronco but it seems like a very daft question?

 

I would imagine the PPU have advised us he is not allowed to train with us at our current facilities, and as such we've decided to suspend him as he wouldn't be around the club or his team mates if he can't train.

if the police drop the charges the restrictions will also be dropped. meaning he's free to train.

 

Don't worry @Campbell's soup has already made me aware, and on reading it back it does read as a very daft question, thanks for your concern .

 

I don't want to go into detail as I know it will get pulled on here but I'm sure he was pictured on someones Instagram training Ricc.

 

So if it's the club that have suspended Robo, will that be with pay ?.

 

Probably.

 

I can't imagine thats true, I remember a photo floating around of someone people mistakingly took as Robinson but was later proved it wasn't him.

 

Maybe then mate. He is represented by Jake Speight though so at least he's getting advice from someone with experience of being naughty!

 

This is a little better by WOAP.

However, this dressed up as a sh&te sandwich which is aimed to take the pressure off Rhodes and Rupp getting results.

A 2.6m budget is ok to be fair plus player sales/or off the books.

Bowyer will want to keep some of the players last season and it is unrealistic to think all the 16 players will leave.

However, I expect pomotion next season and I think we urgently need it.

The main point I got from the WOAP is that Rupp isn't really willing to put his hands in his pocket and I don't care how often he is picking up the bloody phone he isn't highlighting any vision for the club and I have to question his overall desire.

We need an owner that have a drive to make Bradford City the biggest club in Yorkshire and if Rupp isn't the man then he needs to feck off!!

Don't let anyone lower your expectations or ambitions!

Bradford City- automatic pomotion! Anything else is FAILURE!

 

Don’t worry Bystander

 

Never ever lower your expectations. Know your worth! Believe!

 

That’s right buddy. I have this image of you as some hybrid Gareth Cheeseman / David Brent character, with maybe a bit of Jordan Belfort thrown in for good measure.

 

I was thinking more Elon Musk, but with better choice of ride

 

Budgets are no certainty of promotion
A good team has team spirit and a willingness to go the extra mile (obviously with more than a little talent) Last seasons misfits had on paper the talent but very little else
Can't understand the club wanting to keep many of last seasons miserable failures ( why would they suddenly develop the will to get back to where they were last season) and failed so miserably to stay there If they didn't have the talent to remain L1 players then yes I could understand that
But why reward a total lack of effort,interest,bad attitude, general malaise with a chance to do it all again on last years showing the players need the club more than the club need them

 

Who are the PPU?

 

I have much sympathy with your point of view. I don’t think the club want to keep them, but they are letting their head rule their heart. They would have to pay them off, god only knows how much that would cost, on top of that we would still need to plug the deficit and then provide a competitive budget to bring in players. Not sure how much it would cost but maximum £1.6 million, as most of them have a year left. Plus Bowyer might need a couple of them. You could argue that we are paying that for them now, so why not ask them to leave. We may well see how it pans out, and do just that in January.

 

An informative article from WOAP. Not sure who the Bantam Talk representative was but have they anything to add ?

 

He could run his contract down and leave for free in which case we’ll get nowt.
Same thing happened with Tom Cleverley.

 

Is Rod, @Bigrod or am I putting two and two together and getting 5?
