I take it you vote Liberal?

 

A considered and reasonable post and under anything like normal circumstances I would probably agree.

I believe that you have misjudged Rahic. My view of him is that he will have no truck with disenters or even those who might suggest an alternative path to his own.

It's his way or not at all IMO.

For us to have any future, Rahic must go.

 

choosing to not protest because there isn't a "potential investor' is lunacy.

we won't know who is willing to take the club on if we don't force the current owner to sell up and feck off.

and there IS potential new owners on the horizon, a consortium approached last season and I know there are still interested parties now - but until we can make life as uncomfortable as possible for Edin Rahic, he won't go any where. he and his wife are both taking salaries from the club and will continue to do so. he isn't bothered as long as they get paid.

 

So Rahic is to blame for for the mistakes but we can't officially blame Rahic for the mistakes incase the mistakes upset his fragile mindset and he uses the mistakes to walk away.

Instead we don't mention the previous mistakes and leave him to make more mistakes as long as he brings in someone else to blame those mistakes on.

Am I close?

 

NO we don't want him to step back, we want him GONE. The man will never change,he has no feelings for the club, fans,etc. He came here to make a killing ashe got rid of anyone on reasonable wages, and brought in the cheap dross that no others wanted. The players don't want to play for him, staff can't work with him.He's a belligerent bellend ,and imo will never change.HE said he knows football from top to BOTTOM, well he certainly wasn't lying there. EDIN OUT.

 

What assets are there to actually strip? The players are worth next to nothing in transfer fees and they don't own Valley Parade. When Lawn threatened to leave the ground for Odsal, the only thing they owned that they could sell were the lifts and seats. If Rahic and his wife are taking as much cash out of the club as rumoured, then that's pretty much asset stripping in all but name as it is. Especially when they're rewarding themselves royally for absolute failure.

The only way this club will begin to be anything other than an embarrassment. Is when new ownership takes control and has City heading in the right direction again. Asking for leniency now will only take the club into further decline and possible extinction with these owners at the helm. Rahic is incompetent and Rupp's an 'absent landlord' letting a house fall into disrepair through inaction.

Rahic Out!

 

this club will die if we leave Rahic in charge.

unless you want to follow AFC Bantams in games against the likes of Whitby - in the non league pyramid we can't not protest!

 

It absolutely does, I 100% agree. I do wonder if part of the reason for the 'holiday' to Germany is to meet up with Stefan and thrash out their next statement - whatever that may be. If it does turn out to be another rehash of 'we are in it for the long term', that also needs to be accompanied by an honest admission that they have f*cked things up big time and they now accept that they need to listen to people more experienced than they are in running a football club. I am not saying I want them to remain at the helm but I do think it is a very real possibility and if that turns out to be the case, I just hope we get that recognition from them because without it, they are not going to change.

 

What is there to support about R + R?

Genuinely, can't find a single redeeming quality?

Are people so scared that a replacement won't be found, or do they respect the way we've been run?

Why are people still not sold that these two have no place at Bradford City?

 

when he blamed the fans for all this mess in the recent meeting

 

Your first paragraph carries no credence whatsoever therefore warrants no sensible reply.

You're betting on the last point isn't too far removed from the truth, indeed there was a maintenance plan in place on the pitch that was duly neglected.

Any more points that makes your blood boil, please try to keep them factual (ish) and not nonsense about Putin and Kim Jong Un

 

I very much doubt Dave Baldwin would come back, as big a Bradford City fan as he is, he openly said the reason for him leaving was a new addition to his family and the offer at Burnley was too good to turn down this time.

 

You ever thought that very scenario is very real should Rahic remain ?
To enter League 2, and struggle in there, immediately dropping to the National League WILL kill the Club.

 

Clity, people like Rahic don't change or listen to reason. See this thread

 

Along with around 15,000 others.

 

Mine started way back when Phil Parkinson left and we let him go virtually for free maybe not hysteria but questioning why a manager who had given so much to our club would want out after the first meeting or two with Edin. Then Stuart came in the season was exceptional getting to Wembley, then I heard rumours of Edin wanting Stuart out, it just didn't make sense.

Then came the denials and it just went down hill with regards trust in Edin, the good thing was Stuart had us in a great position in the league, so you naturally you think he can't sack Stuart he's doing great, Stuart has a slump in results (although still very much in touch with the play off pack) and he's gone, which to many suggested Edin had got his way in the end and used the slump in results to do what he hadn't the balls to do in the closed season.

We know the rest but the one central figure in all this is "The Ego" Edin Rahic, he cant shoulder all the blame Stefan Rupp has to accept some blame, but it looks to most as he's been quite happy to sit back and allow his mate to possibly destroy our club.

I accept fans have different opinions on our club and the running of it but I find it very difficult to understand how anyone can defend what we have seen during their tenure at Valley Parade, please Edin & Stefan cut your losses and put the club up for sale.

 

Well making derisory comments about ppl will probably not get you a balanced debate. I don’t necessarily agree with your view that Rahic and Rupp will not leave the club, and only you and others are living in reality.

That is a recipe for never doing anything because the outcome is impossible. We have just passed a 100 year anniversary when women won the right to vote for married women.

We have been sending envoys via supporters club’s to Rahic to get him to change what he is doing, and nothing has changed. So yes we are asking him to leave, because we want to change the way our club is being run. We have heard exactly nothing from a Rupp or Rahic.

 

I think you will find self interest comes before throwing a tantrum because the fans don’t like him. Rupp for one will want sell while it is a sellable asset. You say they might asset strip, how do you know they haven’t already?
