Ashton Bantam, you make a really good point. The players are being allowed to hide off the pitch as well as on it. Ryan Sparkes should be working overtime at getting them to communicate with us regularly through social media, give us a glimpse into who they are - regular 'ten things about me' type features on You Tube, ifollow etc. Chatty pieces about worst dressed, biggest music fans in the dressing room - bloody hell, anything to help us connect with the players. It's important now more than ever. We can't go to VP on match days, we have zilch connection with the squad. It may seem like a slight demand, given the clearly deep and worrying problems we fundamentally have as a club, but at least it might make fans feel like y'all give a shit about us.

 

I thought I would have a go at this on behalf of the players...........but I'm struggling to find 10 things to say about the whole team never mind 1 player.

Didn’t need to say midfielder.Statement covers all positions

 

When I bought the shirt on e-bay I thought it was a replica, didn't realise I'd be wearing it on Saturdays and Tuesdays, still the cash for turning up is welcome

 

He wont have time to will he, he is too busy trying to find a replacement for himself

 

How about we "do an Exeter" or until recently Portsmouth or Wrexham when the fans own the club

 

He’s been pretty quiet since the summer.

 

I've had a re-read of Rhodes T&A interview lasts month. Quite honestly, with his mindset, its no wonder that we're in the position we're in.

You're a cheery soul for a Monday morning
Having a clone could very well ruin this club beyond recovery

 

Only being honest.Genuinely worried that the club is on a rapid downward spiral that will only be halted with a new owner.In my opinion a new CEO under the same owner won’t change much.Dont know many business owners that let the day to day running of their firm(and their money)be done by people with a massively different mindset to their own.Dont want the club that I have followed for years to go down the toilet.

 

Was Edin paid off?

 

Is he supporting the club? Really?

The money he is putting in is to protect his investment.

As for him being deluded enough to think he won't get anything back than his original investment then you have to ask you he got involved with us.

 

I believe so.

 

But there is no guarantee it will protect his investment.
Like I said, and its its purely my opinion, he got involved as some sort of ego trip, none of his mates owned a football club. That said I am sure he never expected his investment to plummet in the way it has. Bradford City now is a very different prospect to the one he purchased.....and I am not for one minte suggesting he is blameless

 

Can't we get Boris Johnson in as the new CEO

The club is tailor made for him - devoid of talent and ability, with the occasional "yes man", and all previous talent sidelined elsewhere

At least we could have a U-turn or two - which is more than the current squad are collectively capable of

 

I now what you mean over 50 years myself and not even going to consider the financial outlay !!
The club is already on a rapid downward spiral we had the "cushion" of being relegated to L2 that doesn't exist now another relegation and we are gone
Am clinging to the hope a new CEO will start to halt the decline however hopeful it may seem
Mr Rupp is a shrewd business man his reported wealth shows that he has other successful companies in his portfolio why not Bradford City if only he would avail his plans for the club we may get a bit more confidence in that respect he and Mr Rhodes are ideally suited
If rumours are to be believed that he offered to put more money into the club and was told " not needed" can only be a good sign it must make him wonder what's going on with our current form
In no way am I defending Mr Rupp I think his major failing has been the people he has entrusted to run the club maybe just maybe the new CEO will awaken his interest in his investment and kick start a revival as well as protecting his investment 3rd time lucky !!!!

 

Edited for accuracy.

 

No one is the answer, the bus is out of control...

 

This is exactly my thinking. Little fluff pieces which don't take long to put together, but allow us to learn the players' characters and get to know them. Give us a reason to support them, give us something to buy into. At best, it allows fans to connect with the players, at worst it allows fans to laugh at something. Win win either way really. And something I'm sure a media intern or entry level worker could put together with relative ease on a regular basis.

I think its something that should be done at all times, but given the lack of fans in grounds and restrictions currently its more important than ever now. It frustrates me that the club seem so far behind the curve on little things like this. All the small things build up and equal 'a club'.
