    I don't understand this idea that sticking together is going to help.

    The man in charge has no idea how to run or staff a football club.

    That's all we need to know.

    That is the sole reason he has to go.

    Unfortunatly as you can see a few still think we're in safe hands with the present owners.

    Whats the old saying "better the Devil you know" give me Julian & Mark with a yearly deficit against these two.

    No man is an island and sooner or later Rahic has to listen to those around him in order to stem the acrimony arising from his ineptitudes. Oddly enough there is a parallel with Gibb, in that he was critical of the business methods employed by then Chairman Rhodes and that was a major concern for him. Similarly, Rahic felt likewise and dismantled the structures he inherited as 'too pally'. At the end of the day, finance and football are different identities and require specialist management. This aspect Rahic appears not to have grasped..what it does say about his tenure, is that since employing the Coach method, he has overseen his own poor judgement and inexperience leading directly to our unacceptable position.I am not sure if he can manage January appropriately to stabilise us football wise. We seem disjointed within the Club and certainly lacking expertise in priority areas. He must invest in a proven business structure and make the quality appointments necessary to pull things round. If he can't relinquish total control then he needs to consider his own position for the good of our Club.

    I agree, it's getting tedious to be honest.

    Despite how many times you write the facts out some people still think 'get behind the lads ffs' as if because we chant a bit more they will turn into world beaters. Let's just say that the players and chairmen have got off lightly so far given the displays and the results in 2018...

    Andy Williams. And according to Parky and Mason at the time it was we who decided not to offer him a contract because they believed he wouldn't have the mental strength to play in front of the anticipated 15,000+ crowds. According to Mason at the time, he said when Parky referred to the great but expectant crowds at VP, you could see the look of fear in his (Williams') eyes.

    Yes I appologise I've has a few, p***k maybe more apt, if I'd been the main financial contributer to buying a football club and the clown I thought knew football knows sweet FA about running one deserves the odd derogatory comment.

    I'm sure the massive crowds at Bury and Chesterfield must have healed them 'spiritually' due to their really vocal nature at home games....oh wait where are they in the league....maybe soon to be followed by us if the owners (ER - can I say that?) don't realise what is happening.....

    I agree, the players must have picked up on the nervous atmosphere. I sit in the main stand and there was a lot of shouts of frustration and telling the players what to do. Whilst I agree they need to take that onboard, but the teams confidence is on the floor. It is also very difficult for the supporters who are also frustrated and nervous. We are also expecting to lose.

    I guess you must pick up on it more than me. I sit in the Main JCT Lower Stand, probbly nearer to the action, if there was negativity, then it wasn’t too apparent closer to the game.

    I guess the footballer/supporters relationship, is a symbiotic one. For supporters to be at least content, then they want to see endeavour and effort. Some form of attractive football. To become enthusiastic, it is attacking play, with control/composure. To become euphoric it is scoring goals which are crafted and often spectacular. Footballers can in turn benefit from the supporters mood.

    Given the action of Blackpool supporters (staying away in significant numbers) and Charlton supporters (demonstrations within the ground), then it is a little surprising that both these clubs are not in the bottom four along with us.

    I think the supporters have in the main been very restrained. Given Readings victory on Saturday, out of all the 92 clubs, City is now the worst performing club in 2018.

    On Tuesday we will be over a third of the way through the season.

    This club has gone from two consecutive seasons in the Play Off’s to a team still in the top six in January 2018, to an utter disaster. So it is even more of a change.

    Frankly I think the players have got off lightly. Personally I am not going to Boo, Barrack or finger point. However when I see another howler, it is difficult not to groan or shake your head! If l don’t do that, then l may as well just give up on following City, as l need to see something which will give me hope.

    That is my point, this has not just happened overnight
    Brisbane - all managers do this, listen to any pre-match interview and there is usually something alluding to 'if we can keep them (the home team) quiet for the first 25 mins the crowd will start to get on their backs, and this will be to our advantage'. Even you must realise this is about so much more than this, its not just our fans being frustrated with the players, the tactics, the manager etc - this is about the very essence of our club

    Bronco, you might be right mate but I like to try :) - I really think the vast majority of the crowd want to stay with the players and I honestly believe the reaction to the deflation of going behind is NOT just a reaction to that happening, its about so much more of the pent up frustration and anger at the overall situation we find ourselves in

    When you check Companies House - Bradford City Football Club Ltd, the only directors are Rahic and Alan Biggin, no mention of Rupp....Also can't see no subsidiaries??

    Just interested. Trying to work out where this sudden suggestion has come from that the club is owned by a different company rather than ER SportsGroup

    Not sure what vested interest I could have, or are you suggesting I’m one of the owners? If so I’m doing well as I was on C&B manybyears before they were interested in the club

    It wasn't shown as you suggest above because no one actually knew the salary.
    The consensus was that £24k would have been the appropriate amount.
