I'm a boycotter. I won't be stepping foot inside Valley Parade until that clueless fool has gone.
Like Ricky says, it's time to do something about it. Not just one protest, multiple protests, week after week after week until he gets the message and sells up.

@Gardscoigne has answered your condescending response adequately.
However, I will add to this. Mr Rahic made it clear during his discussion with BCST that costs associated with running the football club had increased. We also have confirmation via WOAP that we are not running an u23 side as a cost saving exercise. I am sure that the flow of cash into the club over the season will significantly down on projections because of our appalling start to the season. Season ticket income next season will be down dramatically.
This is a business which is spiralling down at the moment. It could well get to a point in the next year where we run out of cash from income to meet commitments.
Whilst we don't have the debts that drove us to administration previously, the opaque nature of our finances and how the club was purchased gives me cause for concern.Stop hovering to collapse...

Rahic and Rupp take loans out to buy the club and then use the clubs money to repay the loans, the barstewards are using THE SUPPORTERS MONEY to pay their fecking loans off, makes my blood boil that does.Fools Gold, Pineapple Salesman, Rogered Tart and 6 others like this. -

No, or much decreased, match day income. Vastly reduced season ticket sales, knock on affect of reduced sponsorship. It will soon become difficult to run profitably - even more so if we don’t somehow turn this season around and end up relegated.
There is real danger of this and we can’t bury our heads in the sand.CT Bantam, Bantamsteve, RonnieBrown and 3 others like this. -

Then in 2008/09 he put a extra million in to help the playing budget . He was repaid the Loan over 5 years .

It paid off for both mark and the club

The money led to investment in the team and got us to a cup final and promotion to league one.We also went on a decent FA Cup run. If we didn’t strengthen the team how did we manage all that ? The club grew under his leadership and He then got 49 percent of the sale . So a nice sum of around 3m . He left us achieveing a higher place finish than the previous season and also amassing 19k season ticket holders .If Mark lawns stint as Bradford city chairmen wasn’t a success am not sure what Is.CL89, Bantamsteve, Jay and 3 others like this. -

Lets just look at your 'Young kids with no experience' claim
O'Donnell - 30 year old. 290 games under his belt. Over 100 of those at League 1 and 40 at Championship level
McGowan - 29 years old. 256 games under his belt. Over 100 in the Scotish prem. 8 of them in European competitions too
O'Connor - 25 year old. 245 games in total. 21 games in League 1, 70 in Scottish Prem and 5 in Europa League
NKP - 31 year old. 492 games. 31 in Championship and 57 in league 1
Wood - 22 year old. He maybe meets your description as this is the highest level he has played games at
Wright - 28 year old. 344 games. Over 100 at league one level and 100 games at Championship level
Akpan - 27 year old. 227 games. Around 150 at Championship level and even 9 Premier League games. Also 4 international caps
O'Brien - 20 year old. The second who meets your description
Miller - 20 year old. Is Young and doesn't have the most experience but he has played 30 games at League one level
Doyle - 30 year old. 335 games. 50 at Scottish prem and 55 at Championship
Payne - 23 year old. 169 games 78 at league one and 23 at Championship level
That isn't an inexperienced team. The Man Utd 95/96 team had more youngsters who were put in at the expense of proven internationals than Citys team here and the experienced players there didn't just give upStop hovering to collapse...

However, that is not the reason you are in existence, they signed up because they support City. Given what has been going on at City, it would be best in my view if you took a more neutral stance. Supporters are not all in favour of the way the club is being run, as a supporters club, we are not here to support the club regardless of what is happening. I would like to see Supporters Clubs take on more challenging stance to our current owners.broadsword, BingleyBantam, CT Bantam and 2 others like this. -
