    The one thing to give a little hope is that every league club that is put up for sale eventually finds a buyer, Whether its the right one is another question, The club is up for sale and there has no doubt been interest if not at an acceptable price

    Find that hard to believe. However, their performance yesterday may give credence to your rumour

    Bolton's players were due their February wages on Thursday 28th February. It was reported on Sky on Saturday March 2nd that the players hadn't received it.

    That's a matter of days, not weeks let alone months.

    That's how performance related pay works when the players, results and performances are as awful as ours ;)

    A difference to deep trouble and a claim that wages are not being paid which I say is nonsense and does not help anyone in this dark time for the club. It's not burying my head in the sand as we have a massive debt which I hope Rupp is covering but you seem to thrive on anything bad that you hear about the club.

    In my opinion the person bankrolling the club who incidentally has no interest in football never mind Bradford City will have to very shortly invest more and very serious money purely to keep the club afloat Ask yourself has he the inclination to do that or would it be better for him on a personal level to say enoughs enough no more.
    When that day comes unless it already has what are his options
    Who would be prepared to buy the club knowing his options are limited to say the least should anybody be waiting in the wings they will know that they could buy the club for next to nothing from the receiver and hopefully plough the saved capital into the team
    If that's the way it's got to go then better to do it before the deadline a 12 point deduction to start next season will put serious investors off
    Just my opinion but this is Bradford City we are talking about and we never do anything the way people expect
    Very worrying times indeed

    I think How was referring to the fact you tend to see players going unpaid before admin happens. Its not like it will suddenly drop on us with no signs such as not having money to pay.

    That's good news. But when can we expect to hear from Rupp and know his plans for next season and beyond?

    Worse thing is, in my mind anyway, is that the people who have been rumoured to be interested in buying the club, have got ties with or had previous ties with current club members and board members.
    Anyone wanting the buy the club would benefit greatly from it being in admin. It wouldn't take much a bit of collusion and the odd little nod or promise and im sure things could be made to look a little worse than they are and that admin is only option to get rupp out and get the club cheap

    No one has said that any one is ‘unworthy’, never mind the size of posters!

    The outgoings and bills are far greater than just the playing staff.
