Signatures - fans forum with Stefan Rupp

Bollocks!

 

"Backing the Club"
Are we not all guilty of that when we purchase a season ticket or single match ticket.
No supporter of Bradford City holds the club up from progressing with their opinions that's simply down to been governed by a result based business nothing more.
We have no devine right to win a game of football you have to perform to earn that like every other competing team, who ever scores more wins.
It's not about attendance figures or sitting in a luxurious stadium, it's about supporting you're team the way you the individual see fit regardless of other people's actions.
At the end of the day we all have one thing in common we are and always will be Bradford City Association Football Club.

 

Doesn't upset me.... just bemuses me that some supporters are happy with a crap performance, when you've been battered 4-0 to a team that hasnt won in 10

 

It upsets/bemuses you enough to post it on the forum, which game was it we lost 4 - 0 by the way ?.

 

Were talking about supporting a football team not being complicit to a murder, talk about OTT.

You're nit picking one goes in hand with the other, supporting the club and supporting the team you cant pick and choose, if the team on the pitch are successful ultimately so are the club, ie the owner,CEO, Manager, Head of Recruitment marketing, Uncle Tom Cobley and all get our support.

Believe me I have been complicit in my supported of Bradford City when we've had far worse management than the present lot, maybe you should jump on the bandwagon with a few more on here blaming older fans for our present situation, behave.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^100% all of it but more so that line, some of the stuff on here today is classic gold

 

Just an example of happy clappers.. whenever we lose to a team thats lost x amount of games before playing us

 

A prime example of one of the 6 people who turn up to a stupid meeting to winge about everything to do with the club!

What exactly has that gained or this signature campaign?

I'd rather carry on clapping thanks!

 

I never once said we have a devine right to win every game. We do however, in my opinion, have a right to be run like a professional football club and we haven't been for the duration of Rupp and Sparks' tenure, certainly from a footballing perspective.

We can all take being shit, we've been shit longer than I can remember. However, when being shit is as a result of, as I said in my original post, incompetence and negligence by our owner and CEO, that's what I have a problem with and why I support any action to get them out of this club.

Some people like to ridicule others for actually trying to bring about positive change, we can see it on this thread. Yet they're the same people who think their blind loyalty will suddenly make incompetent people capable of running a football club.

 

So you're happy with the way the club has been run since Rupp took over ?? just a reminder he took over when we were knocking on the door of the Championship, he and his mate Rahic came in, hit the reset button and got rid of anyone who had made any progress with the club and took us to league 2!!

But if you're happy with this then keep clapping

 

I don't think there is anything wrong with supporting you club through thick and thin, its the description of what support means. That said, your calling of others stupid because they choose to voice their concerns in a way you don't like comes across poorly. Like it or not these people are just as much fans of this club as you are, whether you choose to clap the skin off your hands or spend your time writing emails to an absent owner, neither of you are wrong or right.
Football can emotional but lets be civil to each other folks.

 

As long as its done constructively, debate is healthy. And thats what forums are for.

 

Fair comment! Point taken.

 

We all want change for the better but it needs to be exactly that….for the better.
When Rupp took over from Lawn we all thought it was for the better.
Who knows whether Rupp might eventually give you all what you want and sack Sparks then sell the club to the next numpty who thinks they can run a football club with zero losses.

 

So you think Rupp is worse than Lawn, someone who openly said he couldn’t get us above league 1, but want to stay with him in case it gets worse? Let me tell you something you may think Rupp is acceptable, but if we stay midtable league 2 for much longer we will regress even more and go out of business, doesn’t sound like it could be much worse to me, and think you wouldn’t be even able to look down at other supporters because you did Gillingham away on a Tuesday night. Surely having the chance to do that is worth fighting for?

 

So we didn't lose 4 - 0 as you posted above ?, why does it bother you, if your so bemused why not challenge one of the so called happy clappers and say we were crap what you clapping for, you might get an answer.

 

Of course it’s easy in hindsight to now say Rupp is a worse option to Lawn and he is but let me tell you we won’t find another owner as active or committed as Mark so on that basis I’d suggest as it stands that any replacement for Rupp is unlikely to be better than Lawn so despite all the protesting we’re caught between a rock and a hard place.

 

If no change carries on like this and sees us have a slow death, then I’ll happily take a risk. There absolutely is better out there.

 

Well the potential buyers that I’ve been made aware of may well have the funds to buy the club as a consortium but not a lot of extra funding after that, so I ask you, would we really be any better off than we are today?

 

Why are you so angry? While you sit back and clap yourself to oblivion others are stepping up to the mark to try to bring Rupp to account. Yes you may mock them. But what are you doing to ensure Rupp doesn't drive the club into the NL? Apart from happy clapping of course.
