    On the news that a consortium are waiting to step in. Unfortunately it took near 1 year to agree a deal with Rupp and Ruin. It may take the same amount of time to shift them also.

    But hey their credibility and honesty is sky high, so if they say their here for the long game, then who can doubt them ;-)

    And I would love you all to actually strip away the innuendos lies half truths and complete made up rumours and tell us exactly what they have done wrong and how they are destroying the club. 1 bloody poor half season and we have this reaction. Quite frankly its pathetic.

    Come on mate your losing it where have I said different, I actually posted this, "Apart from when the manager gets together with the development coach and possibly asks have we anyone you could recommend who would be ready for being in the first team squad I very much doubt the first team manager gets too involved".
    Not irrelevant at all they got game time because Grayson wanted to see those players (including development players) get game time as he would have been under the impression he had a good chance of being our manager this coming season, so they were named in the squad because it was a nothing game for Bradford City.

    That’s all well and good and Baldwin is a good bloke.But unless there is people behind him who have deep pockets the club will still have to be run on good business lines. I presume you were one of the people who used to go on and on about “The deficit “ clawing back any overspend. If you know of Bradford city fan who is vastly rich and willing to pour money in with no return let us k ow I for one would be right behind him

    unless the present owners were willing to discuss a potential sale it wouldn't go public. it doesn't. it never has at any other club.

    they were turned down flat in 20 minutes. no sale, no discussion.
    going public wouldn't achieve anything apart from fans saying they are destabilising the club, and criticising them. infact theyd have been told they should have kept quiet if they'd gone public.

    Comparing Rahic to ‘cancer’ is a very poor choice of words especially considering the situation with Abbo.

    I have bo issue with constructive criticism. I just don’t like bullies and mob mentality.
    As others have posted and Grayson has hinted, their are underlying issues behind the scenes. Rahic isn’t blameless but there are people with agendas causing aggro.


    Sometimes you have to take one step back to two steps forwards

    There was more money available for the first team under our previous incumbents than is made available under Rahic.

    I'm all for running the club on a sound business level - but when you're a disease ripping the soul out of the club and destroying it that I have a problem.

    Couldn’t agree more bud. I genuinely hope that we get the right man in who is able (despite of and not because of dumb and dumber) to deliver a side that plays good football and is successful. Nothing would please me more however do I think that will happen under our current ownership? I’m afraid not.

    I'll probably stick with the line it didn't happen, an official bid for a company takes more than 20 minutes for a bid to go in and be accepted/rejected and requires going through solicitors etc. We found out about Palladini and these two when bids were lodged. All I've seen is someone sprouting about it on Twitter.

    Correct me if I'm wrong and you'll have to forgive me for missing any rumoured discontent as I'm hardly what would be classed as "ITK", but the genuine calls for the board to go have hugely correlated with the downturn in form on the pitch. Events since then also stem from the downturn in form i.e. Sacking Stuart, a poor January of recruitment etc.

    There was concern in the summer around recruitment and investment which was proven correct, but it wasn't until January that I saw anyone uttering the words "Rahic Out".

    Many fans on C&B raised major concerns in the summer of 2017 but were told to keep believing in the youth and the potential. It went along the lines of McCall will put a big arm around them and turns them turds into diamonds.

    They were branded the usual suspects for being honest in their thoughts. But if you keep saying its rosey and dandy then you have to continue that stance or it looks like your delusional. AKA park Bantam and the comical ali brigade.

    The only money available is what the club earned they speculated and it came if because Parky delivered. If he hadn’t all the money spent would have been clawed back either by player sales or by a much reduced budget the following season. Do you remember starting that season with almost half a team of trialist including Morais

    [QUOTE=" They’re a cancer that’s eating at the very soul of Bradford City.[/QUOTE]

    I don't like the word cancer being used here, it's not appropriate especially with Abbo being ill. A minority of City Supporters need to get a sense of perspective and stop trying to make a bad situation worse by using ill judged words and sentiments.

    but we won't even speculate. and this is having a joint owner (Rupp) that actually has money he could afford to speculate!

    and by speculate, before you say it, doesn't mean chucking money at it, or paying millions, or anything like that.
