    I wrote the rumour off as soon as I realised who the poster was as most of his rumours on the old C&B were utter rubbish before he was banned numerous times.

    Sorry, I'm not buying this for a second.

    It's not quick or easy to remove a CEO.

    plus the fact that income hasn’t risen even with all these announcements and all these extra appointments to the marketing team probably says a lot. The team are having to work harder to get more deals in to bring in the same amount of revenue.

    I’m in Spain at the moment so a bit disconnected. Further since being called out for some of my posts, including one poster wanting me out of the Club, when I’m not in any position of running things or decision making, I’ve decided not to offer any opinions.

    You never do on the club anyway!

    In a position or not you, you don’t have the club at heart anymore. If you did then you would be telling Sparks to leave or tell Rupp that Sparks needs to go. Too many people claim the love for the club but really they just think about themselves.

    This club is a mess and those at the top are to blame! That simple.

    What a shame it has come to this, fellow bantams calling each other this and that and pulling back from posting on here.
    For what its worth, i don't blame Wetherby for keeping his thoughts to himself, he is in a completely different position to most of us.
    If we want to achieve anything we have to work as one voice.

    Yeah, definitely makes me laugh when words like "toxic" and "offensive" are thrown around on here year it's so sterilised that we even got rid of the cartoon emojis of poo!

    By general social media standards, this place is the polar opposite of ‘toxic’.

    People whose views are out of step with the mainstream on any forum are likely to feel targeted or criticised, but that in itself doesn’t make the forum toxic. Being a moderate progressive lefty on a largely right wing forum, I get this treatment on the more political threads. But compared to some of the stuff on Twitter etc it’s a kindergarten.
    There’s always going to be a spread of understanding, intelligence, articulation etc on any forum. You just have to accept that some people’s method of argument is a bit more blunt than others’.

    From where do these rumours come from? Is the source reliable and credible?
    Or is it made up?

    If he sacks Sparks quickly he might get a few fans back on board.
    Do nothing and it tells us all he doesn’t care.

    It was more to do with Rhodes seniors money that funded the bid for the Premier league.

    Was he not the one who tied us into the damn awful rent contract ????


    Was he not the one who more or less sent us down in 2007 with his mind numbing sales ????

    Sorry but i want him nothing near this club ever again

    Rupp can remove him with immediate effect as he is 100% owner of BCFC and needs no board approval
    The lawyers can sort out the leaving details but it is usual for instant removal for senior management

    The club is running on free work from sponsors who are city fans. The whole setup is amateurish.

    It's indicative of the clubs ethos
    Fans should pay up smile and be grateful we have a club to support whatever the standard
    Sponsors are no exception

    The day he gave McCall a long term deal only to sack him weeks later was the time for everyone to wake up a realise how out of his depth he really is.

    Has he learned from that ?????
    Nope he continues to bumble from one fook up from the next

    "We wont except mediocrity at this club '

    Yet 3/4 years after that statement we are even worse than being mediocre.

    Its gonna be tough not going but until hes removed or an actual structure is put in place to move us forward then please stop funding this conmans fook ups

    His lack of expertise has costs us million in my view. At some point Rupp has to acknowledge this. He is also to blame, while he doesn’t have to fund us, he was happy to just leave it.

    The city vent merch was far superior to anything you'll see in the club shop. Maybe if the club sourced quality merch instead of the crap on offer, they wouldn't have to worry about people spending their cash elsewhere.
