    What ever happens in the next severale hours we all have to stay focused and positive.
    Simon was always asking for way too much we as a club could sensibly afford.theres alot of rubbish around at the moment most of it again rubbish.all il say is you cant force some one to stay if there heart is 100% not in it........
    If it is a no from mr grayson then i can defo confirm the owners did everything and more to help simon with tools he so openly stated.
    Like i say things are getting better and if we have to look for a new manager how about paul tisdale?..

    Well there is one thing about Tisdale he can throw his tit for tat in the ring.
    He loves a trendy hat does our Paul.

    Things are getting better? When these owners arrived they edged out Parky, then McCall went in January, and now if the rumours are to be believed Grayson has gone. Unstable clubs are truly on the way to nowhere, our reputation as a well run club is just about down the toilet. Attracting quality players and a manager who can stop the maelstrom might be thin on the ground. I do wish to dampen your enthusiasm. Releasing positive statements is one thing, what I want to see is positive actions.

    This time next season we would have been relegated.. so sorry no way can we be positive, Forced McCall out, Parky didnt want the interference and now they still want to interfere in Graysons plans...

    This club is totally Rahic’d

    EDIN OUT

    Where do you start, Grayson was always asking more than the club could sensibly offer, yet he believes to give Bradford City the best chance of success they are things he requires in order to deliver success.

    You go on to state there is a lot of rubbish being posted at the moment but you are obviously not one of them posting rubbish.

    You go on to say, you cant force some one to stay if there heart is 100% not in it, I'd suggest his heart is in it if he might walk away because he can't get his demands to make us a successful club, maybe it's the owners who maybe don't want to commit to his demands because they have not budgeted for what he wants (living within our means).

    Then you say, If it is a no from mr grayson then i can defo confirm the owners did everything and more to help simon with tools he so openly stated.
    They obviously didn't or else he would be signing a new longer contract.

    Then to cap it all you say, Like i say things are getting better and if we have to look for a new manager how about paul tisdale?, just how are things getting better if the manager the owners identified as being the best candidate is not prepared to put pen to paper.

    Paul Tisdale has been at Exeter since 2006 he's done a reasonably good job but you have to ask why he's not moved to a bigger club during that time lack of ambition likes the area ?, something is obviously keeping him at Exeter.

    The manager the owners identified doesn't want to put pen to paper has a familiar ring to it
    How many players deemed top targets did the same
    See a familiar pattern here

    Not seen anything to be positive about since last years Wembley defeat . Constant spin from the board , blaming the fans , the list goes on and on . If we dont change tack we will be embroiled in a relegation battle . 5 years hard work down the pan , is that positive enough . ?

    I am not against a development squad, very good idea, BUT not at the expense of the first team. So unless they are prepared to fund that themselves, we just cannot afford it. We can’t let it drain resources away from the first team. I view it as a nice backup, but not an integral part of the 1st team squad. Of course we could pick up some gems, but it is always a risky venture. We do need a costed plan in place for the infrastructure to be repaired and upgraded, we understand that will take time, but once again the first team need to have the lions share.

    Edin at the fan's forum. He very much came over that way.

    The supporters had cost the club investment and sponsors.

    He wouldn't stop talking about the Hitler video.

    That Hitler scenario is laughable. There are literally hundreds of "pissed off" hitler videos on YouTube, ranging from him having a day out in Lancashire when he wanted to go to scarborough, to Hitler finds out North Yorkshire Police are merging with Cleveland. There is even a website that allows you to make your own.

    It's hardly offensive as the videos are all basically taking the piss out of Hitler. If I were German I'd find them amusing because of the way that they mock him and make him look extremely stupid.

    There was strong rumours Aldi were coming on board as sponsors. Maybe the racist stuff put them off. Possibly the 7 figure deal Wetherby Whaler talked about

    Did
    Did I say that. Just speculating like everybody else. What I do know is there was a lot of racism about not on here but on social media

    Could be true. Aldi like down market lower end of the market stuff so we'd be a good fit

    A humorous piss take of a despised despot is hardly racism, I watched a very strange film recently where Hitler wakes up in a flower bed next to the Reichstag in 2012. It's a German film, it's very similar to these videos and it's a total pisstake of Hitler, but there is an awful lot of stuff on both facebook and twatter that name calls our owners and their race (or at least Stephan's race - isn't Rahic from some "former Yugoslavian" country ?) and it's totally unacceptable.

    If Lidl or Aldi were considering coming on board, I'm sure they would look at sales/ potential sales in the Bradford area and make a decision based on who sponsorship would affect that that rather than a silly video. The truth is probably nearer to the fact that they looked at sales in Bradford, saw they had a number of store that do really well and thought sponsorship wouldn't represent enough sales increase to be value for money.

    If you read Facebook and Twitter it was much more than a piss take using Hitler videos

    Which is EXACTLY what I've said Park.

    "but there is an awful lot of stuff on both facebook and twatter that name calls our owners and their race (or at least Stephan's race - isn't Rahic from some "former Yugoslavian" country ?) and it's totally unacceptable."
