True

The level of football is possibly more important than.the wages I'd say. There's a few who'd play at a lower level for high wages though.

 

I don't see any benefit in us going down at all.

How do we know the players have relegation clauses in their contract. We're over paying many so god knows what's in their contracts.

Plus playing at the biggest crowd in div 2 might appeal to some.

 

I bet these affected Edin's settlement package. Bet Stefan was fuming when he unearthed it all.

 

Yep. Don't be naive mate. In UK law you don't just cancel someone's contract and wave them cheerio while you open the door for them! Unfortunately there's not much overlap between sentiment/emotion and commerciality in business!

 

You might if financially irregularities have taken place!

 

Oh I'm well aware of that. It was purely a rhetorical statement.

 

My point is, agreeing to let them go won’t be a problem. We’re going to be pushing list to the exit door.

It’s finding other clubs stupid enough to match their wages that’ll be tough.

I reckon it’ll take at least a 2-3m to rebuild this farce - and that’s if it’s done well. I can’t see Rupp having that stomach, though I could be wrong. If he did, we’d have done more in January to sort out the team.

 

Wishful thinking. 14 ending in 2010 that is.

 

My fears are that's what his financial advisers will be telling him especially as we haven't an asset to our name
Then What !!!!
Everyone is saying how it's vital we appoint the right manager (which it is) but firstly and more importantly we need to know who will be in charge of the whole club
Should he decide enough is enough and put it into admin surely that's best done now and take the points hit as we are virtually down now rather than start next season with a minus points total
Any prospective purchaser will be waiting to see which way he jumps and are on a winner either way
L2 club worth far less, buying through a receiver even less
Feel sorry for Mr Rupp he is totally screwed whatever

 

It's these sorts of posts why @king karl needs to give us a dislike button

 

Well seeing as Julian estimates £2 million back in January. I am not surprised it is rising, the club is broke, so until we get some money in that is not coming from Rupp pocket the debt will continue to rise. It depends whether he will write it off against experience or not. Plus I doubt we will be able to generate enough money next season, it will continue to rise.

 

Alright I chuck one in ! Have a look at the inside pages of a Bradford City Match Day programme. Notice all these "associate Directors" and Club Life President in amongst all the rank incompetence what's their part in all this. Are they just there for the match day hospitality and Wembley trips. If not then they all would be quick to tell us how successful their businesses are I sure !,So how come all of them as far as it would seem sit their and make absolutely zero effort to stop this basket case club hurtling into oblivion ? Surely all those "business minds" might at some point raise their concerns about how Bradford City FC reflects on them and their own reputation ?

 

The club has been almost out of business three times since I have been watching them whilst acknowledging our plight at the moment I don’t think we are there yet

 

100% spot on.

Funny how it came out about it in January as well.

 

Probably because Crawley is much closer to London than Bradford. And I’m guessing they own their own ground.

 

Gordon Gibb will save us

 

We really aren't a massive league 1 club, we're a club that sold a load of cheap season tickets on the back of a successful period. Anyone who wants to invest anything in this city needs their head examining.

 

It certainly looks like that.

 

How he had the nerve and audacity to to ruin a professional football club in England with sheer incompetence and blinding delusion is remarkable.
