    I disagree with you on this Loyal, I feel that the majority of the time the forum is fair and nuanced. Yes, it gets heated occasionally but I don't think we have many actual wrong-uns and the mods do a decent job of keeping it civil. I'm certain there are many worse football forums about. On the whole, this feels like a decent community.

    If we get Rhodes back we can forget any hope of a deal with the ground rent with Gibb, I don’t believe Gibb would even negotiate with Rhodes.

    Remember what he said about Adams? 'He was given an opportunity and he failed to deliver'.
    Time to look in the mirror Ryan.

    The amount he’s defended Rupp and Sparks I’m also interested in hearing this justification, tbh I’m trying not to interact with him at this moment. Anyone with his sort of influence shouldn’t have defended this shitshow over the last 7 years and it angers me to be quite honest, I hold those who could make a difference but defend it or keep quiet culpable as well.

    It also ignored the context. Last time we were shite to which Park alludes to we had come out of two admins and were in league 2, with crowds of around 7k. It took time but the likes of Lawn and Baldwin built us back up and mocking them is in poor taste, that said wums like him wouldn’t have had a bad word said about them when they were at the club, we all know the sort. To finish my point Rupp and Rahic bought a club with 18k season tickets and a squad that had just finished in the league 1 playoffs. They were dealt aces where as Lawn was dealt 72 off suit and look at where we are now. Rupp only has himself to blame, yet some fans actually blame other fans then act hard done by when called out on it. Absolutely pathetic.

    Just the odd few who don't understand Associate Directors pay for that privilege if it can be called that, and have no input into the club decisions, but where they have a certain expertise they offer it for free I believe, they bleed Claret & Amber just the same as you and me, some of you guys need to wind your knecks in in @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler case and when other fans don't go along with your take on all things Bradford City, were not helping ourselves with these sort of comments were reading, fellow fans shouldn't be at each others throats being the ones taking flack for the situation our club in.

    We've spoken about it many times Al, I'm not the best with regards putting stuff down on paper, I try not to be inflammatory or offensive I'd much prefer to debate the point, I've meet many fellow posters who have different views to me with regards stuff away from football but it's never been an issue on meeting up, IMO there's is nothing better than a few Bradford City fans having a beer together sat at a table, I've meet with Roger a couple of times and as I posted a very genuine Bradford lad who's made good in life, working his way up at Morrisons but at the end of the day he's the same as you and me, he hurts when our club get beat.

    Better up my game!

    Exactly what I'm saying Ryan's position at our club is over.
    He will never win the fans trust or respect ever again the damage is done.
    Rupp installed Ryan to run the business from afar and he's failed on so many levels.
    Every appointment every ticket campaign, Catering franchise,Kits and the fiasco surrounding a foreign travel partner just a small sample all littered with problematic issues.Why who's to blame?

    This is a dreadful way to manage a multi million pound company/business.

    Fooking moaning about rent when the club continues to piss money up against the wall by either sacking managers or giving piss poor players long term deal.

    Maybe he has done well on the commercial side but that means fook all when hes probably wasted millions.

    How many years at this level and we have come close just once.

    His tenure as CEO has been a fooking mess and only a complete loon would defend it now.

    Tranmere friday afternoon and we should be looking at a 20,000 gate all of us looking forward to pushing on for promotion but what have we got ???
    A sub 7k gate with a toxic attmosphere thrown in so well done Ryan thats what you have created ...........my god you could have a person in as CEO who hated us and even he would struggle to make the mess Sparks as.

    That’s a shame because you’re in a great position to bridge that divide between the fans and the club, or at least play a part in that

    I appreciate you’ve probably copped for some unfair criticism on here, but there are members and people in the wider fan base who would love to have a rational and positive engagement with those in charge at the club.

    As it stands now, we are facing nothing but a wall of silence in what are, quite honestly, very worrying times

    For me Dave, with some on this board its not what they say its how they say it. I have no problem with anyone posting as long as it adds to the debate and isn't derogatory. But if i feel they are being condescending and giving it the biggun i wouldn't hesitate to pull them on it. I guess its each to their own interpretation but by and large its a friendly place.

    You Loyal are a prime suspect in what you describe as your tone often takes a slightly arrogant and superior stance - perhaps you should look a little closer to home! :rolleyes:
    What I would add is your opinions are as relevant as anyone else on here, it wouldn't be as much fun if we all agreed with everything so keep posting

    With the greatest respect leave me out of your nonsense, you’re the one who recently called me obtuse and you are the one who tried to bate me after the Newport game how did that turn out? If you don’t like to be challenged that’s on you, I’ve never called you names or bated you as you do me. Let’s be straight up and I’m confident there will be others on here who are the same. So don’t go playing the victim like Park when you both know exactly what type of people you are. If you can’t be challenged go look in the mirror or best still mute me so I don’t have to engage with you.
