    I feel for Rupp. I really do.

    First he gets stiffed by Rahic, doesn't see it until its too late and costs him to get rid.

    Then Rahic's b@st@rd son gets handed the job Rahic couldn't finish, courtesy of Capt Chaos having groomed him.

    You couldn't make it up.

    He should have watched Dragon's Den where multi-millionaire successful business people admit they don't know about a particular industry and refuse to invest.

    I've no sympathy. He thought he could make money, he was clueless. He remains clueless, relying 100% on what others tell him, which is why we are in a fecking mess.

    Wow I'd think most Bradford City fans have read the article and come nowhere near the conclusion you have, if noting else like it or not Rupp will have to be given time
    If Rupp is true to his word we should/will see changes on the footballing side of the club pretty quickly, I've read Ryans remark and believe the help he's requesting will be a DOF that would take a massive burden off the lads shoulders, his job is then is to oversee the continuance of success off the field with positive steps being taken on the field.
    Sorry @Copland Bantam v3@Copland Bantam v3 after re-reading it a couple more times I can't be as positive as yourself, just out of interest are you employed at BD8 7DY.

    You'll be more than welcome to return and point out to us your past posts that have come to fruition, can you remind us of your past successful predictions a honest question ?.
    The rent is a problem whilst were in league two it becomes less and less of financial problem as we rise up the leagues Ryan has made that comment many times you hardly need to be a financial adviser to understand why.
    I do agree Ryan will not be sacrificed to make way for another CEO if he goes it will be because he's had a better offer possibly from the EFL ?,

    Jamie Raynor has just said that BBC Radio Leeds expect to be talking with Stefan Rupp when he comes over next month.

    Half hearted protest down here, not worthy of the local TV reporters being here.

    Look lads, been on this forum a handful of times. Was a constant member on the old board where many disliked me for proving them wrong regards Rahic.

    Guys like bronco will remember my Pms to him regarding what Edin was doing to the club and how McCall was being shat on.

    but hey you all called me out for having a go at your beloved chairman especially Storck and his bum boy from Cumbria

    I was right as was bronco and you were wrong stork, get over it. But hey you finally took your head out of Edina arse so peace .

    It IS a massive pill to swallow but, it is one I'm prepared to take as starving the club of money ( which they p*ss up the wall ) is IMO the only way to obtain change.

    No idea what the budget is but given we started the season with over 30 players in the squad and the likes of Smallwood, Chapman, Walker who are probably on good wages, it seems like a decent size budget.

    £6m is crazy. Assuming a 25 man squad that would be an annual average of £250k per player.

    Knowing how Wrexham's owners are happy to throw money at the club it wouldn't surprise me @alex@alex, average £4800 a week, I'd say the likes of Mullin, Marriott, Fletcher, Palmer (who cost Wrexham £300,000 were given to believe) McClean will be on upward of £10,000 a week ?.

    There was a small group calling out Edin long before it became widespread on here.

    We 100% should not be following that sort of model.

    We need to invest in younger players as ‘assets’ that can increase in value.

    Don't think I said that mate look at the post I was replying to, it was about wages Wrexham were believed to be paying some of their players.

    It never became widespread on here as there were only a couple prepared to put their heads over the parapet and receive the sh1t being thrown at them, being called shit stirrers, the pre-season game at Guiseley being a perfect example of how Edin controlled everything at Valley Parade, one poster who knew me personally sending me a PM saying I'd gone down in his estimation for the Guiseley Letter post, and some fell on stony ground comes to mind.
