The telling thing on here is when posters are challenged about where they get their unsubstantiated rumours from they seldom reply.

 

Thank you for your concise reply.

 

Read @Polo-Bantam great post above.

Look, some will sit and watch the club fail. Die of football death and not question it. Others with a bit more fight and determination will question. It doesn’t mean any side are better fans but for me I don’t lie to myself and I can’t accept failure.

Rhodes, Sparks, Rupp all the board have failed this club and all are accountable at this moment.

 

Oh I am satisfied when we are successful or doing well. Years of failure and none investment into to the club isn’t going to make me happy.

As for the investment. Do you know how investment works? No one really is going to invest in something that that has no assets or nothing to build upon. WE TRAIN AT A SH@TE SCHOOL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! We own nothing and for the investment to truly work we need to own something. So the problem we have now is the club trying to make money but when you try to make football about finances it never works and you suffer on the pitch. Rupp isn’t an idiot and knows this but all this his not interested in football excuse is lame. He’s interested in money but maybe just given up on a bad investment. Might explain why he doesn’t attend games and why he seems to make poor decisions.

Investors are are out there but Bradford City won’t be that attractive Rhodes told this club back 10-20 years and now Rupp is taking back another 20-30 years.

 

Exactly.
Speculate to accumulate.
He has money and land is cheap around the Bradford district.
Chuck 5 million into a training centre gives him an investment that will make money whilst also making the club a more attractive proposition if he wants to sell.
Whilst also attracting better players.
No brainer if you are a business man who knows what he's doing.

 

I think you need to build outside the Bradford area for that and suddenly your 5 million gets very little.

 

A return on his investment.
What does years of training at a school give to the club regards financial returns??

 

the figure was just that, a figure with no looking into exactly how much it would be.
The point was, no matter where you are in life, purchasing land and property, improving everything about will make you money if sold at the right time.

 

What would training at our own facilities give to the club if they were of a poorer standard than the facilities we currently use but don't own?

 

An asset that you can generate commercial money from.

INSTEAD OF WASTING MONTHLY RENT AND MAINTENANCE COSTS!

Can’t even believe you are asking the question.

 

If it would be such the magical money generator you proclaim it would be, why doesn't a successful businessman such as yourself get involved and invest? Sounds like it would be daft not to if I'm honest.....

 

That wasn’t your point to start with.

Ok. No one isn’t expecting Rupp to put in 10-15m. The club will have to put money in, commercial partners, council, maybe even Bradford uni or something.

You start conversations. Rupp isn’t interested.

All goes back to my point that Rhodes set this club back 10-20 years. To not own our own training ground or stadium is damaging and one of the reasons we as a club are failure on and off the pitch.

 

No, it’s not easy but go back to your statement that we didn’t have a queue of people looking to buy us and that’s because we OWN NOTHING!!

Can’t your brain understand that?

So Rupp who was meant to take us forward has gone all Rhodes’s like because he’s given up. We need to see a little bit of ambition from the club off the pitch because Bradford City has been firmly left behind in football. It’s a joke of a club now in truth.

 

Have you if so what are they like, we only use certain parts of the facilities, gym, pool, physio room. canteen, etc the main facilities as you would expect are the out side pitch's and all weather pitch, and there is nothing wrong with those facilities.

 

Eh? Where have I said that?

 

Not that great place to learn if you compare it with other schools and certainly not if you compare with other private schools.

In fact it’s shite.

However, I agree with you main point. It’s a school and it could have everything but it screams as what it is.

 

Off the top of my head I can't think of an alternative (secure) site within Bradford for a new training ground other than that SH**E school.

 

Probably never been inside any school (for a full day).

 

I’ve.

Bells and whistles mate. The school is shite. Look at reports. Compare it to others.

Not all private schools are good mate. Loads of shite ones in Leeds also.

 

Or in Frank Worthingtons case, around the handbag that Les Chapman shat in.
