Vote of confidence

Where's Stefan Rupp in your question?

 

Confidence in us finishing 16 th? Not at the moment.

 

Oh do give over…it’s not the 1922 committee.

 

If the recent figures quoted by the Wagmi United were any where near correct he had a chance to walk with a very tidy profit.
Yet he preferred to not sell and make this statement.
"As a proud custodian of this wonderful football club, my first and most important responsibility is to protect it and safeguard its long-term future, while upholding our values.

 

Edited to reflect reality mate.

 

Most of our fans need to get out of the clouds.
We will not get an owner that will through money at us. It’s going to take time and Ryan and Derek will do a good job.
As a large club in a poor league we have too many overheads and it puts us at a disadvantage.
Unfortunately small steps is all we can do, Derek has proved he can get teams promoted on a small budget but he needs more time. It’s as simple as that.

 

Welcome to the forum Derek.

 

Does he have any experience of getting promotion from the National League

 

Yeah but is there any signs of that happening though ........... I’m willing to give Adams time but seriously what’s going on at the moment is worrying ......... maybe come the summer when most of these lot are gone then Adams may come out a tell the truth about this group of players .............. frankly I think Adams is dying to blow a gasket publicly regarding this lot but somehow he as to try and get some kind of performance out of a group that clearly don’t care i mean that with Gibson yesterday just sums this lot up perfectly ..... any player with any heart would have been foaming at that they way he celebrated in front of the City fans ( I know it works both ways with City fans dishing it out ) but what did that team do ??? Nothing to tackles no desire nothing

 

He is right about any new owner who is credible. No one will come in and splash the cash. We reportedly have the 5th best budget in the league this season have we got the 5th best team no we have to do much better with the money we do have

 

Couldn't agree less.

I, for one, have never asked for an owner that throws money at the club. I've never asked for a massive money signing or to bring players in on enormous wages. In fact, I've not heard many people ask for that, although I've seen people kind of imply that a big signing now could do wonders for morale - which is hard to argue against.

What I think everybody is pissed off about is the sheer damn incompetence.

DON'T promise us a promotion push if we're going to be struggling to bring in quality forwards.
ONLY promise us a promotion push if we know we can acquire the targets we want and assemble the squad we need.

DON'T hire Derek Adams and assume that's a promotion in the bag because he can work to a budget.
ONLY start whalloping on about promotion if Derek has all the tools he needs to achieve promotion, especially to a budget. Clearly that's not the case, or we wouldn't have sacked the head of recruitment.

DON'T talk about how we're going to develop, promote, and base our entire business model around the sale of young players.
ONLY do that if you're then going to bring in a manager that shares that ethos.

These are not expensive things. They're absolute bloody basics. We could write a club manifesto in about three sentences that rules out these stupid, incompetent idiocies, and yet the club have failed on all these - and many more - counts since Ryan Sparks was made CEO - LET ALONE since Stefan Rupp bought the club.

But perhaps more important than all that - DON'T talk about being a proud custodian of this football club if you've no interest in ensuring the best possible people are put in the most important positions to ensure we actually move forward after you, yourself have taken us backwards.

Stefan Rupp, I don't want your money. I want to see your remotely competent as the owner of a football club, one that can restore us to the top of League One, and who can attack the Championship like you were SUPPOSED to do.

That is all.

 

We haven't got a TEAM at all mate. A team plays together with a common aim, to win games. We have a collection of individuals with varying skill levels playing as a disjointed group.

 

Abysmally so far.

 

I voted no. I’ve no confidence in anyone at Bradford City nowadays.

On a lighter note my Dad got me a Valley Parade Street sign, thinking of putting it on the front of my house. Let’s hope the many Leeds United fans in Belfast don’t egg my house ahahahaha

 

What does it matter if we do or don't. We cant do anything about it.

 

No!

 

We can!
