Don’t look at the league table after 9 games garbage. Does he think we don’t know how football works? We can see with our own eyes the paper thin garbage filled squad if it stays this way will get no where near promotion. It’s not rocket science

if hes taking a dig at the manager why would he reference himself in the 3rd person?
He’s clearly talking to all the whingers who say rupp out all the time on Twitter.
Derek didn't even mention rupp he was clearly on about poor recruitment. The amount of gossip on here is ridiculous.CRASS, ConnecticutBantam, Young Ste and 6 others like this. -
Is he having a dig at Adams in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs from the end or am I reading too much into it? He doesn't mention the manager at all otherwise

Unfortunately, the recruitment which was supposed to give us that promotion squad failed miserably in the summer transfer window, and when it became evident he threw the last roll of the dice in desperation by bringing in Theo Robinson, which even Derek Adams won't give the time of day to.
The person in charge of that failed recruitment ultimately paid the price with his job. The question now remains to be seen whether or not Rupp is willing to invest further in January, or whether this season is an early write-off because with the squad in its current state we're finishing no higher than mid-table. I am inclined to believe he will invest, given our recent new acquisitions in the scouting and recruitment department.
The lack of depth in the squad has been exposed in our cup ties. Losing to 2 kids sides (Forest and Man Utd) and a walloping by Lincoln.
The failures lie with Sparks and Turnbull, one of which is no longer here, and the other now has to face the music.vin weasel, Botswana Bantam, Inspector and 5 others like this. -
I honestly don't believe that Rupp is anything like as malign as his former partner. But when things aren't going well it's easy to believe that the club's in a sorry state because they are being effectively managed by the former head of social media who's risen rapidly to a position he's possibly not qualified for. Inaction and a lack of oversight can ultimately prove as damaging as outright stupidity.Inner City Sumo, bantamdave41, Ponty City and 4 others like this. -
I really hope there is some money left in the piggy bank to spend on better quality players in January if Sparks' aim for promotion is to be delivered. Even when Canavan, Angol and Vernam are back from injury, I don't believe our squad is good enough to achieve promotion without further reinforcement. That will cost money.

Its funny how we all interpret things. I didn’t think he was having a pop at Adams at all!

Cannot imagine Derek being like that at all. -
This topic seems to be constantly rumbling.
Owning the stadium or building a new one or training facilities, is not going to happen. Bradford city do not have the money, neither does the current owner. neither did Rhodes/ Richmond, it was all borrowed and with the collapse of the tv deal, the rest is history.
There does not appear to be a money bags , white knight fool on the horizon, so we have to make the best of what we have.
Its not ideal, but i dont believe the current training facilities hold the club back at all. We have trained there for years and managed promotion and relegations before.Offcomedun, Kevin1954, Allotment Bantam and 3 others like this. -
Whether its Leeds or Bradford I couldn’t really care. I just wish they’d hurry up with those roadworks at Greengates. Think City will be back in the PL before they are done.

Remember, there wasn’t a queue of wealthy businessmen wanting to take us on when we were in the top 6 of league one. It’ll be even harder to attract one now if that is your aim.1975citygent, Bronco, Stoneski and 1 other person like this. -

Either way, it was written as a bit of a riddle. Trying to be clear but not really clarifying anything, aside from the fact 'nothing has changed since 7 or 8 weeks ago.'Briggus, XCIV_Bantam and ahar964 like this. -
We have to hope we are in and around the automatic mix come January and we have money to spend because this squad will struggle to get promoted unless we add 1 or 2 quality players.Stop hovering to collapse...

There was a definite not so very concealed message that Adams has had his knuckles rapped over his comments last weekend.
I trust and hope Adams accepted his ticking off and we all move on now.
Wouldn't surprise me to hear Trueman doing the post match interview tomorrow!Inspector, Dratsab taf and King Cole like this. -
