    I'd just like to add, the squad remains pointlessly expensive and poor value for money.

    That remains Rahic's fault, and the blame cannot be laid at the feet of Bowyer and the team.

    Imagine what we'd look like if Reeves, Riley, Akpan, Anthony O'Connor, and Shay were off the books and all we needed were two good centre mids and a defender to replace AOC.

    Heck, you could even keep AOC and swap the other four for just two good centre mids!

    Or he doesn’t want to sell so sticks a value on it that he knows will see everyone walk away, but if someone offers him £10m he makes a nice profit

    I keep seeing this comment posted mate, but as a football fan who follow the likes of Bradford City what choice do we have.
    I think we would all like a sugar daddy to finance us but without one we have to relay on the Juian & Mark senario cup runs or sell an asset.
    Two lotto tickets tonight £160m eho knows :thumbup:.

    For me that's a reasonable consideration and I share many of your concerns, particularly if we don't gain promotion during this season or the next.

    I obviously disagree with you about Rupp having not spent any money on this team. I honestly can't see how he hasn't otherwise how do you explain such a competitive budget? I'm not aware of a new lucrative source of income the club itself is generating to support it. Dont forget this budget was set prior to McBurnie being sold. As yet nobody has put forward a counter argument which proves he hasn't. The money for a top 3 budget must be coming from somewhere. What is the most logical source of this financial boost?

    My final point on this subject is this. The club has set a budget each year. For it to be competitive Rupp will have committed some of his own financial backing. Last year Rahic took spending above and beyond that agreed budget. It is this overspend Rupp has had to cover the cost of. I have no issue with him recovering this debt through the McBurnie sale. In doing so the club are not in an indebted situation and that must be a good thing.

    By the way. Rupp has a long way to go before he warrants a hero status.

    That one was supposed to be when Burnley got bought out, unless he's got other interested parties?.

    I’m not involved in said consortium, and nor am I David Baldwin. How the hell would I know if it’s genuine or not?

    Again, what’s your point?
