    As far as I'm concerned, cold hard facts have been laid for all to see, and yet some STILL cling to their own misplaced narrative.

    As Simon and Garfunkel sang, some see what they want to see and disregard the rest.

    Thank you!

    I really think that now we have rid the club of Rahic, we should clear the forum of Park and banbrotam.

    Let it drop now Park. Now is the season to be Jolly and work together for what is achievable but is not going to be easy.

    I agree and posted as much at the time, his record whilst here was way above any Bradford City's fans expectations, and unfortunately the situation has not improved, on the contrary it's spiraled out of control even faster.
    I have to question when players stop being Stuarts or any other managers players come to that when they believe right or wrongly they had to make a stand against Edin Rahic and his treatment of players and staff in general, it's cost both Stuart and Grayson their jobs and ultimately Edin Rachic his job.

    Ok apart from the pitch, ticketing, and taking the merchandise back in house just what has he done to improve the club, his interference into football matters have got us where we are, luckily with regards Julian coming in to advise he will get our sponsors back on board.
    All in all he's made far more bad decisions during his time at the club than good ones, the man was a walking disaster, as many alluded to during the closed season where a few heard the goings on behind the scenes.

    Exactly my thoughts.

    The biggest disappointment is that while Edin didn't have a clue about League One football in England (understandable), he also apparently had absolutely no clue about football anywhere else either.

    I had a faint hope that he'd bring in some bargains from Europe who could really strengthen the depth of the squad.

    What we got were a couple of abysmal keepers, a forward who has taken two years to put in an acceptable performance, and some random kids who have hung around and left with few remaining.

    What exactly did Edin bring to the table in football terms?

    Absolutely nothing!

    One of the key learnings for City fans going forward has to be those that uttered the legendary line 'Well Sattelmaier can't be worse than Doyle".

    No one should ever use the 'no one can be worse than...' line, as it cannot ever be correct. Ever, under any circumstances. It's the worst bit of logic possible.

    It's no coincidence that of all the things you could have chosen to talk about from that article you opt for something which allows you to defend Rahic. For once, why don't you just call him out for the useless twát he is?

    Spot on unfortunately. ER craved the hero worship Stuart rightly got despite any managerial frailty's.

    Word has it Rahic has been telling Rupp a load of lies regarding the finances at the club over the last few months. Rupp biggest mistake for me is not having a more hands on approach but that said if Edin was painting a better story of things is trust him was misguided which probably became his downfall.

    I believe the cheque book and admin quote came from an accountant who has met with Rupp.

    Conveniently forgetting the arranged fly bye against Oxford United which was only stopped because we were given to believe it could have a detrimental effect on future investment/funds.

    Do you understand that it’s John Dewhirst on twitter, a trained accountant who founded City gent who is saying this on twitter. He’s actually flown to Germany and spoken to Stefan. He has assured him that he will prop up the club. Apparently our finances are horrific and we needed bailing out.

    Correct me, but as far as I can see there are no new investors. JR is apparently not buying the 22% and no one else has been identified. No additional funding from a third party is available at this juncture. SR is going to inject money. So any involvement from a Supporters group or indeed an individual, seems totally irrelevant, there is no evidence whatsoever to the contrary.

    That would be my guess too. It's been a working capital issue so far and not requiring any significant injection of capital. The club's future needs might well be different!

    No. Just saying that despite the pressure put on @JonButterfield@JonButterfield to cancel the ‘Fly Past’, as some unspecified potential investor(s) may well be deterred by the action, then nothing has come to light. The Oxford game, in respect of crowd support was as good as it has been this year, the result was good, the performance dogged. Yet despite all these pluses and ER leaving, there is absolutely no mention of this mystery investor. Strange don’t you think?

    I'm sure today was about ratifying the end of ER and SR tenure at VP. Legal teams and all that.

    Why would he take his bat home and risk the investment he has already made in purchasing the club? That doesn't make any sense at all.

    If TCA were to put in a transfer request for his services, it would be considered seriously ... even before the transfer window opens! ;)
