Oh, I don't expect it.

 

Think you need to start understanding football finances and stop making boring excuses.

 

How can anything about profit?

Football is a loss making business.

However, a club that thinks about finances will fail. Bradford City as a club is a failure.

Sparks and Rhodes before him us sustainable as an excuse not to spend. It’s bollocks.

 

So you advocate spend, spend, spend without a care in the world?

One of the strangest comments you’ve made in a long list of strange comments. I take it you buy your sponges from John Lewis and throw them away after one wash….

 

I advocate if you can’t afford to spend then f@ck off.

It’s a football club. If you want to run it like a real business it won’t work.
BRADFORD CITY IS A FAILURE! DIV 2, NO ASSETS! Clearly the plan isn’t working!

Rupp needs to go! That simple. He can afford to spend but doesn’t want too. Fine! F@ck then.

 

So you don't own any successful businesses after all. Thought so. Jog on m8 you are a busted flush.

 

Football isn’t about making profit.

Football is like no other business. You are smarter than this. It’s a loss maker.

 

Spend spend spend = administration bankruptcy liquidation. It's flawed. Show me one club under the championship that have made this work. Just one.

 

because we own no assets! That is why is not affective. Training at a bloody school.

One of the highest rents in football on the ground because we don’t own it. Wasting money every week.

Rupp has money but he doesn’t want to spend it. That’s up to him but he should sell up or find someone that wants to really help move this club forward. He’s taking the p out of us all. Laughing in Germany. No interest in driving us forward. Just sell!

 

Sell to who @Fordy117 ?

I agree you need someone with a will to wanting to see this football club in the upper echelons of the leagues, but the reality is we don't appear to have that person around the corner. How can we trust Rupp to sell to a bona-fide guardian of the club when he was tricked by Rahic. If you're right and he's no interest in us, why would he care who he sells to? We could be in an even worse situation than we were before.

Jeez, what a shitshow Fordy has created in here. Regarding the interview, I thought Adams came across very well. He's just as frustrated as us at the players not taking their chances on the pitch. Sparks was just Sparks, didn't say much more than he hasn't said before.

 

Facts:

11th in Div 2
Don’t own anything
Now don’t sign decent signings as we have no money.
An owner based in Germany that doesn’t go to games. Not bothered.
A novice CEO that take ballocks. More interested in his CV.

The club is going nowhere fast! These are facts.

 

Apart from the ones who deal drugs on the side. Now I'm sure our good friend doesn't fall into that category.

 

Forgot to add that Commercial mortgages also usually have an "arrangement fee" of up to 3% of the loan size. In our case this could be as much as £120,000 wasted just to get a mortgage.

If Herr Rupp is in the market though, I am more than happy to broker a deal for him and pocket my share of the commission !!!

 

Honestly! clueless!


OK. The club let’s say is worth 2m to buy the ground 5m. The club is now worth 7m.

The club is now more attractive to other buyers as it has a key asset.

Look, you can list a load of clubs and Bradford currently would sit near the bottom to buy. Its unattractive because we own nothing and train at a bloody school.

We haven’t kicked on as a club or a business- it’s a joke! Sorry state of affairs.

 

To move to Odsal would require a large investment I would think, to bring the ground up to football league standards, I doubt they would allow football to be played up there in its present state, would that be a positive for Herr Rupp ?.

 

Greta thunburg would even beat sparks at poker

 

This is what some people are failing to understand.

Other clubs have done extremely well without putting their club at risk.

Sparks basically ripped up everything he said last year about his vision for Adams.

We have an owner that’s just not interested. He’s worse than Edin.

I think at any other club barring passive Bradford City they would be calls to get Sparks and Rupp out now. Certainly Rupp.

 

Very good point.
