    I doubt there is anything you could add to what I been told of past times under Rack & Ruin, but even it being old news it would be interesting to compare notes.

    Imagine the protests on here if we had 7 centre halves in the squad when we desperately need a goalscorer.

    If you had a £3m investment going down the swanny and needed to employ someone to try recoup that you wouldn't be sat on a webcam in Munich.

    No. More thanks to David Baldwin who originally put the arrangements in place for the sale of other young players. JR did have the sense to follow the approach which DB had introduced and which other lower league clubs do routinely.

    @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler Do you have any contacts that might be interested in forming a consortium to buy out Rupp? You’re probably the most connected fan we have on here.

    Every manager since Parkinson has taken us backwards, so there really only one candidate

    No I'll be in the new managers corner as I would hope all Bradford City fans would be, happy clapping.

    i think people would accept not conceding goals right now and getting a point over losing. a solid base gives us a foundation to build on. we're currently building on quicksand.

    We don’t have one that can do a job. I’d rather spend some money paying off the deadwoods responsible for the decline in the last few seasons. It’s obvious if you can’t defend you must be able to score. Get a decent defender in and we give ourselves a chance.

    Only £3 mill where did that figure come from, I seem to remember it was Rupp who got in touch with Julian when his mate took the piss and miss used his brass, Rupp made the call why would you think he would get it right after so many failures with regards his decision making whilst the owner of Bradford City Football Club.

    A very wise thing to do learn from the best as I posted Julian's deal at the time.

    They weren't mates

    The consortium went to Germany to tell Rupp what was happening, he was oblivious to what carnage Edin was causing

    He has no interest in the club emotionally only financially

    I bet no other manager in his successful businesses employ a manger who's performing so abysmally

    It would have been a mess up of monumental proportions to see the clauses put in previously for Delph, Cleverley, Wisdom, etc, and then to omit the same clause from the McBurnie deal.

    Almost as big a mess up as having to be informed of the implications of the clauses by a charlatan such as Archive Christie. That happened though.

    I don't mind giving credit where its due but there is no way that deal should ever have gone through without a sell on clause. Including one was standard, not something creditworthy.
