    Of course they would, I think there would still be interested parties at £2million

    Could do a crowd fund. Look how much has been raised for Tonbridge in just a few days.

    The three people, with real influence on this club , Rupp, Rhodes and Mcall are slowly squeezing any life we have left away.
    With no fans in the ground and the complete rubbish product being served up on the pitch, how many season tickets do they think they wii sell next season, if by some miracle we dont get relegated, because on these performances it could easily happen.
    conference football could bring the end to our football club.
    What would Rupp's investment be worth then , Zero .

    Rupp leaves the football side to the CEO which is Rhodes at the moment. All he can do is fund the losses which he is doing. If you think silly aeroplane stunts will help the club go ahead, but I hope you have an alternative to fund the huge losses with no crowds all this season.

    What is your logic and reasoning behind this bold yet damning statement?

    Unfortunately, the reality is that the players we have at our disposal are simply not good enough.

    The person(s) responsible for our transfer dealings this year must be held accountable, and ultimately replaced with someone more competent.

    Is Rupp really the one responsible?

    As you say Rupp is funding the club, Rahic was a different situation everyone bar Rupp was a were of the goings on at Valley Parade hence the need to make Rupp aware with the fly bye, for all the stick Rhodes gets he will be working within the financial constraints Rupp has set him.
    You do have to wonder why there is money still left in the transfer budget many questioned the squad at the time and all that was added was a young kid from Wolves, I honestly believed we could get a win today and seeing how poor both teams were with the seasoned pro's in the right positions I don't think that was beyond us.
    Yes hindsight is a wonderful thing but Staunton, Sutton, Samuels and Cousin-Dawson playing with players who were lacking in confidence was a bridge too far.

    Rupps role is to put pressure on Rhodes to achieve, Likewise Rhodes job is to put pressure on the manager to achieve, Rupp needs to do his job first or the rest is useless, He must take more interest

    Same as the last few months I have called for him to leave. Wish no ill on the man, all the best in the future but as the owner as Bradford City, we have regressed, we are a fractured outfit with no obvious plan or structure.

    He was as responsible as ER in those days as well. Just because ER was involved in the day to day running of the club does not take away from his culpability in that period. He was quick enough to be on the pitch at the end of the game at Fleetwood with ER and at Wembley.

    Don't think Mr Rupp is entirely blameless he should have known what Edin was up to without the fans having to tell him that's why huge losses exist Going forward I would like to know if he refused to release funds pre salary cap rules if so then he is entirely culpable for the mess we are in I suspect very little pressure was put on him to strengthen when we could as it would have been more difficult to balance the books blame lies firmly between Messrs Rupp Rhodes and McCall (take your pick) the key is why we didn't spend when we were able as a result we are now seeing the outcome

    Unfortunately Stefan has little interest in football, but he should have an interest in his investment certainly in these dark times.

    We are currently an embarrassing blip in his high performing portfolio one which he has no interest/idea what to do about, there will come a time when his accountants tell hm to "get rid" until then our club will continue to be in decline it's stalemate until then

    As I quoted at the time of their arrival at our club, Stefan made the comment his investment was worth the risk, I'm getting to sound like fordy ;).
