    I can’t imagine Cheltenham etc have this huge investment. The expectation of the fans is big but the club are unable to go toe to toe with the likes of morecambe. Poor decisions at the top.

    Can’t imagine Rupp couldn’t afford the like of what Wycombe, Rotherham and Barnsley spent to get to the championship and in the later two stay there. Bit of an excuse there but we get used to them.

    To be fair I don’t blame Rupp for not chucking loads of his hard earned cash at it, he’s not even a football fan as far as I’m aware let alone a Bradford City fan. He was convinced into buying the club by Rahic and didn’t have a clue what he was getting in for, I imagine Rahic showed him what the TV deals are worth in the PL and he was sold. Very naive, but I’m sure no malice intended.

    But his lack of interest is exactly why I want him gone, some seem to think certain fans want us to chuck far more money than anyone in which ever division we’re in at promotion. Not at all as the above clubs and others in this thread have shown it’s far from impossible to achieve higher than your club size and budget if you have competence, drive and ambition on and off the pitch. Parkinson brought all them traits to the club when it was lacking and recruited accordingly, we haven’t seen it since regardless of what excuses are put out.

    Also before anyone asks no I don’t know how to get him out, obviously it’d take an investor which until they come if at all I think we’ll have very limited success.

    That’s a huge risk. If we don’t get our shit together over the next 2-3 years, we could very well be done.

    Completely agree m8, we're now back to the pre Parky days, a lower half league 2 finish and a club with no USP but nicely painted office walls. And i know a lot of people who are asking wether or not to renew a season ticket on the back of the end of this season.

    So as we sit and ponder yet another disappointing/ failed season what will realistically change to make sure in 12 months we’re in a better place?

    I’m struggling to see whatever the vision is meant to be.

    A young CEO who’s obsessed with reminding us how old he is. Talks a lot and to his credit, tries to make a positive spin but the jury is very definitely still out.

    An owner who might live on the moon for all we know.

    A management team that the majority don’t feel have the nous or tactical ability to move the club forward.

    Another huge clear out of players and a lack of faith that the next bunch will be any better.

    Not exactly looking good is it??

    Romain Vincelot anyone? I think he'll end up in management somewhere.

    Oh jeez it's depressing.

    Missed today's gam cos of a family event but obviously knew what to expect.

    The bottom line is, given the unprecedented circumstances allied to the general mess at the club I can't see us selling more than say 6000 season tickets... unless we get a proper manager in. Simple as.

    I’d far rather see us go for someone who’s got experience of building a top 7, entertaining side in this league, over more than 1 season, without needing a big budget. Then I’d like to see us back that manager with the best squad we can pull together.

    Matt Taylor has gotten Exeter into the top 7 nearly every season since he’s been there, with next to no money to spend. And they play good stuff. He’d be one to look at.

    Matt Taylor Is a really good shout actually. Played a couple of games for us and born in the same town as our special one Parky, written in the stars surely?

    Well when you have fans coming out with bizarre statements like ‘we don’t want promotion this season, we’ll wait for next season so we can celebrate’ , then it’s hardly surprising the players have the same attitude.

    House price plummeted? Don’t talk nonsense. Yes maybe in areas such like BD3 and BD8 but in other areas house prices have rocketed.
    I bought my house 20 years ago for £50k and now it’s worth a quarter million. I’m happy with that.

    Hmmmm in 20 years we may have a problem when 80% of the population of Bradford will support the top clubs of Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.

    Dunno, if we sign Lewandowski we’d sell out VP every week and there’s plenty of Polski sklep’s around the ground.

    personally I think VP is now in the wrong area and moving away from BD8 might be the right direction for the club

    And Buffoon has done what exactly. Central Gov are the money providers and if you deny they are biased toward Labour areas you are daft.

    Great shout but I honestly feel, it's all fantasy wanting the expenditure and calibre that such a manager may demand. Maybe the season, no SEASONS have dampened my enthusiasm for Bradford City but WW talking about SR keeping the 'club afloat' this season ( despite OM transfer fee), RS talking of a reduced playing budget next time out together with a falling fanbase, no grant from PL/EFL, a global pandemic and all the rest of the razzmatazz, send colds shivers down my spine and cries subliminal messages of were skint......
