    Nah I just not a cult follower, do my own research and don't believe the spin the club says. Certainly not own that we all own more assets than.

    Do you have a vision for the club? No...Just believe ever word they say.

    You would vote for Trump if you lived in America. He's good at creating a cult following how don't think for themselves.

    World of difference between running a good marketing campaign and negotiating sponsorship deals, the catering supply and so on and communications. Not saying Sparks can’t do that, our marketing manager does a great job, wouldn’t let them near a multi year sales contract.

    Show me up? How?

    Hes's even said he's the mouthpiece for Rupp & Rhodes.

    You chatted to him and now you are his best mate? Think you might need to grow up? I might wise up.

    Do you actually read what you write back to yourself sometimes Fordy? What research have you found that would prove that ugly football kits sell more than better looking ones? It'd be a great read.

    Yeah I agree. Which is why I was querying earlier the need for the promotion. What’s Rhodes role at the club now? Still the same?

    Orient have sold out their first batch of home shirts, mind you they're cheaper than City's and from some dodgy mob called New Balance

    Show me the numbers for Bradford's new kit sales compared to recent years,

    I've said other clubs have said good sales.

    Well yes, really. You see, if you had 2 people doing 2 jobs (even if one was a consultant, who generally are paid more than permanent staff) and now have 1 person doing those same 2 jobs you have reduced head count and saved money.

    Are you saying that the article on the site is complete lie....? I'd be interested to see who and where you have about kit sales, do you have a link? But you're waffling away from the point, it's ambition promoting talent from within, can you imagine your reaction if he was to go on to bigger things? The first thing you would post is that the club have no ambition.

    No, I am saying the club soundbites but don't show stats. If I ordered the shirt today could I get one? Yes. So it's not like Liverpool top where I can't get one if I want from the club shop.

    The club like their yearly accounts never seems to want to highlight things so people can dig deeper.

    So sales are going great...Highlight the numbers then.

    What else is going great off the pitch? Or highlights are small in comparison to others but if you want to throw out praise then fine.

    Pleased for Ryan but lets not make out he is God!

    Why on earth would you want to "dig deeper" on pre season shirt sales? :(

    Because I don't just believe sound bites.

    Plus you seen that Keeper top and the training gear. Bloody awful. Who is the right mind would buy that?

    Perhaps with all the ill feeling, and whatever City do is discredited , maybe the way forward is to shut VP and the club down and start again .

    Covid -19 has a lot to answer for I've never seen the forum so negative, you expect it from the odd few but negativity is certainly spreading.

    You do-you copied a newspaper article earlier about Coventry City and a proposed new ground. That article was full of soundbites and I suspect like the previous proposed stadiums, will never materialise.

    Cheer up mate. Won't be long before you are watching DMH flying down the wing and crossing for Novak to hammer a bullet header in to the top corner. That would conclude the pre match warm up. :innocent:
