    Or we could ask the manager to adopt a more progressive approach and one not from the dark ages which flogs centre forwards to death with zero reward.

    Let's leave it there.

    I reduced it by 4m because 1) The ambition to go up seems to have gone 2) season ticket sales will be lower 3) the business dealings recently highlights to be he doesn't care and with that might as well just take the hit and sell.

    Could I run the club better - 100% but so could you.

    Now, yes we can all sit here and see our club suffer but that's Bradford people for you and that's why Bradford gets left behind in general but why should I care, if you don't?

    As,I keep saying no money in football, so no I won't be emailing the club but hopefully someone else around the world will be so because our owner is a joker when it comes to running this club.

    Yes, there is very little money to be made in football outside of the PL and those clubs in the Championship who receive parachute payments. The vast majority of other Championship clubs run at a loss (a considerable loss for some) which their owners have to support in various ways. Down at our level, the last analysis I looked at said that three-quarters of all Div 1 and 2 clubs were dependent on their owners to cover their losses. Every club bar 1 in the past 7 years who has gained promotion from Div 1 to the Championship all needed the financial support of their owners to do it. That's what we're up against.

    I don't think anything about that.

    All I look at at is that since he has owed the club it's been a joke and we have gone backwards.

    So I question why Mr Rupp brought the club? A man to show little interest in Bradford, the club and the fans.

    Was it all Edin fault? Nah not for me.

    Well it might help if you did think about it. Rupp was duped by a charlatan into investing £5m or thereabouts into what was to him an investment only, not a hobby or personal ambition. He could afford to do that. He wasn't expecting to provide more, however naive that might have been. He promised to cover the mess left behind by Rahic but the McBurnie money will probably mean he doesn't have to now. The bulk of rest of his money is likely to be tied up in investments and assets that are not easily realised, even if he wanted to put more money in, which is most unlikely anyway. So going on about how wealthy he is is irrelevant and tedious.

    Why do you always try to get a raise out of me? I can take it! Like water off a ducks back.

    So he is asset rich not cash rich? Either why I really don't care! I don't care about him as person because he doesn't care about us. He's ruining the club in my mind. Not got a clue what you think.

    I'm not having he was duped by a charlatan at all. I am not having that now. Sorry, no.

    I firmly believe they were both in it together.

    Whatever we think of Leeds it would be grossly unfair if they and all the others who have had great seasons are deprived of their reward. As Ryan Sparks says in today’s T&A it could finish football as we now know it

    I thought Ryan was saying the season needs to be concluded, in which case Leeds will probably get promoted.

    Yes that’s what I am saying it’s the only fair way. Plus it’s the only way some of the smaller clubs can survive

    The premier league don't hate them - they're desperate to get them back in. If they can find a way yo get them in and knock someone like Bournemouth out they'll do it.

    Trouble is it won't be the Premier League who pick the policing bill up when they travel to away games.
