    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

    Maybe if your pal Mr Owen (and a few others who should know better) backed off a little instead of sniping from the sidelines then ducking for cover while the media do the dirty work.

    In an earlier post you mentioned Parky went because of Edin. Might be true, who knows...
    But what i do remember a couple of years prior his relationship with the directors was strained after he (rightfully) called them out over the appalling state of the pitch.
    I remember Mr Owen then hanging Parky out to dry and forcing him in to a humiliating public apology. By all accounts Parky was on the verge of walking.

    But of course, everything was rosy and perfect before big bad Edin turned up.

    As i've said before, its a results driven business.
    If the team is winning, people don't care what goes on.
    If the team is struggling, everything comes under scrutiny, and Edin is learning the hard way

    If any of you think because I dont recommend trying to oust Edin im a representative of the club then i suggest 2 things.

    1. Why would Edin or anyone allow me to say, im not bothered if he stays or goes. Who would send in an undercover agent to say lets protest but lets do it right? it just doesnt happen. Edin ruined our progress, if someone comes along now and buys then good riddance.

    2. People can disagree with you life isnt black and white. Conspiracy theorists and the like jump to mad conclusions and is exactly whats wrong with our country at the moment nevermind the football club.

    The aim of joining and creating this thread was to support the rest of the fans who want to protest by adding in my opinion on how it could be done. I agree he should leave but i dont think its going to happen so because I live in reality, unlike some it seems, I came up with an alternative suggestion.

    What annoys me the most is that I never joined this forum until now because of this stifling of debate. Youre either a WUM or an Edin apologist, some sort of traitor to bradford city. In terms of this forum people will end up leaving or never signing up and you all end up in a little bubble where you think everyone must think the same as you.

    There are more than 30,000 city fans and not all attend games, but the prevailing view isnt the same across 30,000 people. Acting like the harbingers of bradford city, protectors of its virtue, is pretty damn harmful to this club and those unwilling to talk about ideas other than there own are not true fans.

    Good day to you.

    I was thinking this guy has a point then you come out with this, we didn't have 30,000 when we were in the Premiership, attending or otherwise.

    Seconded. And if you feel anyone is overstepping the mark in their responses to you, by all means let the Moderators know and it will be looked into.

    In the current situation, when many are up in arms about the way the Club is being run, it is good to have those who will question the majority, if only to stop good intentions developing into mob rule.

    Wasnt there over 30,000 at Wembley? Or are the only city fans ones who have season tickets? Are ones who work on saturdays not fans Bronco? do we only have 11,000 fans left no after Tuesdays game?

    Stupid comment pal.

    Well a request for a decent conversation turned accusatory and I would rather spend my time doing other things than fight a battle with tin foil hat brigade sorry.

    Utter rubbish.

    It was the week after we'd beaten Chelsea. Sunderland at home was on the horizon.

    Parky was going nowhere. He saw it as an opportunity to get his point across whilst his stock was so high.

    I very much doubt the relationship was strained after he'd just beaten Chelsea.

    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.

    Hendrie wasn't good enough, he's now on loan at Grimsby.

    Do you wonder if perhaps that's already in progress? As far as i'm aware BCFC's only asset is cash. Cash from season tickets, shop sales, advertising etc. If you were going to strip that cash out of the club, how would you go about it?

    My view is that Edin’s position has become untenable, as i’ve stated on another thread.

    I’m just trying to offer some balance and remind people that others have played their part in the current mess.

    As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions...
