Stefan Rupp

Tbf the 300k banded about has been denied

 

Funnily enough, someone posted something very tenuous on twitter today about a local consortium taking over within weeks.

 

The one constant ? Richard O'Donnell ?

 

Please explain how appointing a manager with a proven league two promotion record, and giving him the 4th/5th best budget in the league, resulting in abysmal tactics like yesterday and being 11th in league two is the direct result of a man who lives in Germany but happens to own the club ?

We are where we are in the league because and experienced manager, with a good budget, has signed poor players and used poor tactics.

If you gave the forrest green manager, or Mickey Mellon at Tranmere the same resources would we be 11th.

Course we wouldn't.

 

Get him out..

Let’s all stop being so god damn weak.

 

The point is with Rupp is he is being constantly let down by football manager’s McCall, Grayson, Hopkin, Bowyer and now Adams. We have a top four or five budget so just achieving to budget would put us in play offs a little overachieving in the automatics. Rhodes/Lawn fortunately for them had Parky Rupp hasn’t been that lucky despite appointing what look like good candidates at the time. I don’t think a change of ownership will make much difference unless they have money they are prepared to lose

 

So it's a result of what? Pretty sure we said the exact same about Adams before he was appointed and yet here we are looking the exact same as we did last season. We'd appoint either of those two and they'd fail here.

People seem to be hung up on the fact that Rupp isn't handling the team selection and tactics. Yeah, no shit he isn't. But the systems in place at the club that result in the same old dross every season are because of him. I'm not saying Adams is amazing but it's funny how you can repeat the same process each season and think well it hasn't worked the past 10 times we've tried, maybe this time it'll be different. It won't because you have the same disinterested owner overseeing a shit foundation to build a promotion winning squad upon.

 

If they ever reveal the full accounts we’ll know for sure

 

Prepared for the January transfer window before signing some rubbish
Crankshaw leaving to fund a free agent who we are still waiting for
Not accepting mediocrity
Anything but promotion is failure
Publishing full accounts
The Turnbull model is the best way forward
The next manager (before he was announced) having input in the retained list,
Contracts for managers not long before sacking them
Never been interested in the lad from Darlington, definitely not
Parting ways with Turnbull but all the signings were Adams’
Mysterious issues behind the scenes that nobody wants to talk about

I’m sure there could be a whole thread on statements or promises that might raise a quizzical eyebrow.

 

As has been discussed before. What right do any of us have to see the full accounts.

We are customers not shareholders.

There is also no legal obligation for the full accounts to be published.

 

All of me wants that to be true. We need local people who get what the club means to us.

Rupp is a proud custodian but not a Bradfordian-THAT'S the difference.

 

Perhaps the reason we're not actually buying anyone, only loans. Why would Rupp spend money if a potential takeover is on the cards?

 

As Parker is saying on FB every day-loans are not free. The club is spending money but maybe not as much as they should be?

 

James Mason at the ground yesterday, noticed he was in the corporate bit. I hope by some shear miracle he was joined by a consortium wanting buy this club.

I’ve heard something is going on too.

 

Exactly.

 

Or you just need rich people. I wouldn’t give a toss if our owner came from Neptune as long as they were willing to invest in the club.
