    I don't agree mate. Morris brought the ground back under a separate business. He isn't an idiot he knows that owning assets increased the chances of a sale.

    Bradford is a club that has potential but not training at a school, not owning their ground, not having players of quality it doesn't.

    What's this got to do with me?

    Also, Derby County... They're a little bit higher profile and further up the pyramid and in a more geographically appealing situation than ourselves.

    Guess we missed out on getting taken over by Abramovich too? :rolleyes:

    In fact maybe @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler can wear one to every match he goes to this season and when he goes to VP. Maybe, he will bump into Rhodes, Sparks. Pointless saying Rupp as he won't be there.

    First of all, why would a bunch of corrupt Arab royals looking to sports wash their backwards countries profile even want to buy a League 2 club, they have only gone after Derby because they are close enough to realistically get PL in a couple of seasons (Although mind you they may be League 1 if they don't turn things around). I'm guessing they would have gone for a PL one but I'm not sure the PL would actually allow two clubs to be owned by the same family even if they aren't directly owned by the same person but this may give them a backdoor to basically using Derby as Man City B.

    And second of all would you even want such owners with the baggage they bring and knowing you are basically a PR exercise? Mind you Newcastle fans were happy being sold to an even worse regime in the area so maybe City fans would be fine with it

    Gordon Gibb would be very hard pressed to get a better deal/return for the Flamingo land Pension Fund and has little interest in selling Valley Parade, face facts......................oh just a minute you don't deal in facts.

    Indeed Mr Gibb would be pushed to get a better return for the pension fund but if City were to move out for whatever reason the lands not the most valuable I can think of Its a two way street he needs the club as much as the club needs him rumours of a return to a shared revitalized Odsal won't be music t his ears

    As long as Bradford City are in business, unfortunately Gordon Gibb and his pension fund hold the aces.

    rumours of a return to a shared revitalized Odsal not heard that one resently ?.

    Why don't you buy one seen as you don't like anything to do with Bradford city. You can show it to your leeds friend.

    Don't know the ins and outs of the deal to rent just putting it out there what would he do with the ground if we were to move out for whatever reason Always been and always will be rumours about Odsal nothing in particular fresh

    Correct.

    Bradford City could build their own ground..Nothing stopping them. Wait Rhodes is in charge.

    If Gibbs doesn't want to sell then nothing stopping Bradford's owner from doing his own thing.

    No point talking to @Bronco@Bronco he doesn't like change. Scared!

    You are opening a whole can of worms there for lots of different reasons not least we don't have an owner willing to build us our own ground
    My point was the land that VP s built on isn't the most valuable and if (and it's a big if) we were to move out Mr Gibb has more to lose but that's all depending on he deal negotiated by Mr Rhodes and i won't hold my breath on that one

    How are they going to pay for this mythical new ground? Magic beans? We haven't got a pot to piss in.

    the new Plough Lane cost £32 million, excluding land and holds less than 10k. So a new decent sized stadium in Bradford you are probably talking over £40m that would have to be found plus the elusive piece of land
