It's only a lifetime habit that is keeping me interested in City under these clowns in charge right now.
I would gladly take relegation and start again with new owners than suffer any more under their ownership

How poor do we sound, yet again. Just cannot see Hopkin, or indeed anyone else, being able to turn things around this season, with such a terrible squad they assembled in the summer.
By the time January window comes around, I suspect we will be too far adrift in the bottom four.
So demoralising what Rupp and Rahic have done to our club in the last 18 months or so.bantamdave41, River_City_Bantam, Craven Koppite and 7 others like this. -

Half time and the "big man" playing up front to give us "presence" has won a total of f$&# all in air and has at different stages been beaten to a header by the entire back 4.
Ball and Miller must be sitting there thinking about retiring from professional football if they can't get in the team in front of that plodding clown.cjunluck, Steve1970, Hulmebantam and 5 others like this. -
Needs action now. Hopkin should bring in his own coaches. Abbo and Drury should be sacked. Abbo should have gone when Collins was sacked. He bought into Rahic’s foolhardy plan. Hopkin probably thinks if he brings in his own men it’s gonna reduce his January funds. He can’t take that chance. Rahic might not release money anyway and at this rate Hopkin might not be here in January. He must act now.

Hopkin doesn't get a free ride from me anymore I'm afraid. The constant selections of Brunker and NKP - currently our worst two players is crazy.
The style of football just isn't working. We don't have the players to play hoofball and we're not troubling opposition defenders at all. Surely a manager should be able to see this and be able to change his style.
If Hopkin continues us playing like this we'll be cut adrift by Christmas.Crucian Carp, bantamdave41, Halifax Bantam and 5 others like this. -

In 53 years of watching City, I've never felt so disillusioned about my beloved club. It's all down to the current owners who I am finding it difficult to even write their names now.WilsdenBantam, Bronco, bantam2708 and 4 others like this. -

Says it all really.
There is not a manager on Earth that could stop today's team from being absolutely HAMMERED by the team of 18 months ago.City loyal, Sheffield Bantam, BCAFC LEE and 4 others like this. -

Outside of the habit of commenting on here, I could care less about this version of Bradford City.
I mean, there's nothing to support imo.
I'll never stop being City, but my enthusiasm is waning drastically. It will be restored, but likely only after those tits sell up and piss off.CT Bantam, bantamlad92, Morley Bantam and 3 others like this. -

Imagine if the owners did splash the cash after the play off final defeat, we would have been in the championship now with good income from TV, sponsirshsp etc etc. Doing it on the cheap means the only way is down.

They can have street/tent events like the Accrington one, when we get gates approaching 24,000, but I am more than happy supporting a business, which would struggle without the football crowd.
You know that many pubs in general are finding it hard to survive, so why dilute their 23 (or thereabouts) pay days, which keep the business afloat.
Looking at your old Shipley stomping ground, then not only have they closed the Oddfellows (a pub I never went in, as it looked like a morgue & sold John Smith's) and the Branch. Additionally both buildings have been demolished. Put simply Pubs around VP, rely heavily on football supporters custom.
@Offcomedun , @Ulysses S Grant , @Tennesseebantam and @Bronco all know where I go, pre kick off. So far this season, it has been the highlight of the match day!Botswana Bantam, Fools Gold, Bronco and 2 others like this. -

I think Gibson has blown his chance of making it here actually, as for Seedorf, been poor every time I've seen himHow, Tony Wilkinson, bantam2708 and 2 others like this. -
Defo pen. Sat close enough to confirm that. Just shows how low we've descended since Stuart left. Payne is the only player of any note. The rest are just dross, not including the keeper, though. Wouldn't expect any sound player wanting to join City in January. Thanks for nothing, Rahic. This is squarely on you and nothing you try will fix it. You'll have to learn to know relegation soon and mass fan desertion.
