    Why because of the fans.

    As people I love but most are highly unambitious towards the club and it wouldn't drive me forward. For fans to accept what we have currently highlights to me..I would expect or want fans to be kicking off currently.

    So no pressure...I thrive off pressure. Rhodes would be even cleaning my car if he can't talk to fans. It's unacceptable.

    If exceptions were highly then maybe I would.

    Cheap season tickets and they're happy hence why Rhodes does it but everyone should be wanting more. Build something! Not just accept cheapness.

    Where is the club going? What's its identity? Why isn't Rhodes talking to fans? What's Rupp involvement? Why did he invest in the club?

    Then you hear Bradford people have no money but the club is quick to keep people's money. I only hope Covid is a wake up call for many as other clubs have past us while we sleep walk.

    Far too often people come on here and go to games and offer poor excuses for failure.

    Fans need to demand more!!

    Thanks for posting this link. Some interesting facts about the proposed salary cap, particularly what he said about comparisons between League 2 and higher salaries in the National League.

    I don't see why we ended the season when we did.

    So next season is going to start without fans because of commercial agreements by the EFL (TV i would have thought). Ryan didn't say how the testing will be paid.

    Looks like Bradford will have to get everyone off Furlough soon then @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler . The Salary Cap situation sounds a mess.

    It’s sounds like we are well on the way with signings according to the interview and only 8 or 9 weeks to a possible start date

    Nice to hear we are progressing with caution.
    Now is not the time for gung-ho tactics.
    For all you kit lovers the samples have arrived and a photo shoot is imminent according to Ryan Sparks.

    If we are only doing samples now. It could be on sale at the end of the month.

    Who is doing the photo shoot? Edin? so we can blame him for the late stock on new kit and it being rubbish if it turns out be that way..

    What is gung ho tactics?

    Gung-ho tactics.
    In this instance throwing money at squad building when it's evident we haven't got two pennies to rub together with very little income coming into the club.

    Think it just depends how honest you want to be with fans. So far McCall has come out talked about 4 youth players and maybe loans coming in.

    Really Rupp needs to come out and say what's what. Until then everyone is second guessing.

    Suppose that's my point. Unless Rupp comes out and says we are in the shit then everything is fine. @Park bantam@Park bantam was just making excuses for us not doing what Mansfield are.

    Wigan is an example why Rupp and Rhodes just need to be honest with the fans on where we are at.

    Maybe, the owners of Wigan have had the club for 4 weeks and then decided they didn't want to be in football so not putting any money in. So in admin now.

    Not great at all.
