    There are a few people who I think are no longer trying to actually debate, but are just arguing for the sake of it - probably to test their skills more than anything else.

    Pro Rahic arguments at this stage need to be taken with a huge pinch of salt, particularly because when people get pinned down by facts, they say stuff like 'I'm not saying Rahic has done a good job' - basically admitting they have no actual point to make, just an ongoing series of self-defeating arguments.

    Absolutely nothing the vast majority of City fans didn't know, but nice to see it being confirmed by the experts.

    Its disgusting, and Rahic must go.

    You've got to laugh really. Despite the mountain of evidence against Rahic and the fact Dowie stated he knows from Grayson, of interference by Edin, folk on Twitter still won't believe a word and apparently Dowie knows nothing. This blind ignorance from some city fans is staggering.

    It's no assumption we were top 6 when he started running the club and we're 7 points adrift at the foot of the table now, still under his leadership. That my friend is fact.

    Always happy to rely.
    With regards the Tom & Dom interview Edin said he wants everyone pulling in the same direction or leave, my interpretation of "my way or the highway".
    With regards @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler comment I never said he was an employee ?, what I said was "Edin does not want to take advice from others who have valuable experiences in different aspects of running a football club" he had experience at boardroom level under the last owners.
    With regards James Masons job becoming untenable how do I know that, because he told me.

    More evidence if it was needed. Cottee destroyed Rahic basically.

    I get the impression that JR's first piece of consultancy has been telling Edin to keep a very low profile for the foreseeable future. But, what I want to hear is that he's either gone back to Germany of his own volition, or Rupp has relieved him of his duties, for good.

    I don't want to be considering buying a season ticket in 2019, regardless of the division the club's in, without knowing that the Rahic era at Bradford City is truly a thing of the past. I think there's been a few things happening behind the scenes, like JR's appointment and Hendrie's T&A article, that were primarily an attempt at quelling the snowballing anti Rahic feeling amongst the fanbase. The supporters deserve to know what's happening, if anything.

    Rhodes been in 2 weeks and made the decisions on loads of stuff and in his words...'we're in a mess.' What does that tell you? Edin knows Jack s@@t about running a football club. He hides when times are bad, running away from things. Rhodes comes in and we have 750 @ Posh because of the initiative and have sold 2k extra tickets for Oxford.

    Mr I know football didn't do that. Doesn't attend games, spineless!!

    ‘Interference from the chairman’ isn’t really the outrage. The outrage is that a chairman has continually interfered, overrrulling more qualified judges of footballing matters, to the deteriment of the team, club and fans. And then proceeded to abdicate his accountability by directly and indirectly blaming just about everybody else but himself for the failings of the club.

    The sooner he’s gone, the better. He’s been nothing but bad for this football club.

    The general impression is that Rahic has his finger prints all over the club, he appears to want to do it all himself.

    IF he was the genius he thinks he is we would be top of the league and no one would give a stuff about his interference (or not). There's only outrage because he knows naff all about running a football club and has made a monumental balls up of almost everything he's touched.

    He made it pretty plain during his interview with Tom & Dom, it's my way or the highway.
    And with regards employees giving advice @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler openly posted on this forum Edin does not want to take advice from others who have valuable experiences in different aspects of running a football club, James Mason having to resign because his position became untenable.

    Just on the wind up are we? Because you obviously don't read here or listen to broadcasts or social media. I think it may have also been said by Edin at one of the fans forums about being with him or there is the door...too late for me to start searching clips...
    Wetherby Whaler was a former Board Member, former director of Morrison's, still club ambassador and was James Mason 's mentor. He said after James resigned that he had been working under increasingly difficult conditions. If he posts you have to respect what he says. Mason said as much in the interview with Parker. Bronco said Mason told him so. Chap on end of my row in kop who was at Darby night said he had spoken to James and I posted previously when asked if he wanted to leave he said did I f@@k...

    But hey keep denying what has happened...like an ostrich...

    I hope Banbrotam has you on ignore mate. He'll be frothing at the mouth with this if he sees it ;)

    "Give me facts not anecdotes from people in the game who clearly have an axe to grind" - I can hear it now.

    Plenty of more mud to be thrown.
    Exspect the Football media bandwagon to go into overdrive the length and breadth of the UK now these latest outbursts regarding our present owners have been aired.
    Not before time in my opinion,let the flood gates open.
    We are a laughhing stock and will remain so till we take a new direction under new ownership regardless of results achieved.
    And before anyone asks I don't include Hopkin or Rhodes in the above they are trying to work miracles above the quicksand.

    Well said. Hopefully we all join together in two common goals: survival in League One, and Rahic out.

    Nothing nobody already knew.

    The only positive is that Rupp has finally decided enough is enough and started to make a few changes. Rahic has taken more of a backseat, Rhodes has been brought in with all his experience and Abbott is gone, all these indicate to me that things are getting better and will hopefully continue to do so.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Rahic is gone by the end of January, I can see his nose being put out of joint by him not being able to have much of a say during the transfer window, and Rupp finally having enough.
