    Why would I name a replacement for Rhodes position.

    Plenty of businessmen and women out there that could do his job. PLENTY!

    Problem with you is that you're scared of change.

    No, has nothing to do with last night.

    Has something to do with the fact that under Mr Rupp ownership we have gone backwards and have no future plans.

    Running at a break even was ok under Rhodes as he didn't have the money to take the club forward. Mr Rupp has money so now we need to see a plan on how the club is going to move forward!

    Let's not forget Rhodes sold to Rupp because he hoped that Rupp and Edin could take the club the club to the next level. Well he can make that happen.. so do it or leave.

    Did I expect anything different from you.....in a word no, you very rearly have an answer to a very simple question and reply with the lies of "Why would I name a replacement for Rhodes position", because your the one wanting him out.
    It's not difficult to understand.

    What are you on? You ok?

    Let me repeat.. many businessmen and businesswomen can do Rhodes job. Mr Rupp will know loads of people.

    This isn't like which midfielder should we buy.

    Rhodes isn't the only business person in the world.

    Rhodes has smoothed things other but he isn't taking the club to the next level.. he's done what he set out to do but now we need a change.

    CHANGE IS GOOD! Bradford City need change and to be serious. We're ticking!!

    I doubt Stefan could name last nights starting 11 never mind knowing someone who could run the day to day running of a football club, didnt Stefan think Rahic was a good football man, enough said.

    Well the problems are bigger than I thought then.

    You need to take a keen interest in your investment.

    What great problems to have we are 3rd in league two with a game in hand over most teams around us and two games in hand over the likes of Swindon, Exeter, Northampton and Port Vale.
    Long may our problems continue.

    Rather points on the board than games in hand.

    I'm talking off the pitch. Club going nowhere fast.

    A reason to keep Rhodes on I’d say, until we get an owner with the knowledge and skills to do that role.

    If Mr Rupp is selling or planning too. Which I think he might be but club says not so who knows.

    I can only take it as he is staying and if he is then we need to kick on as a club.

    What goes on on the pitch reflects what's going on off the pitch usually, a perfect example was last season.
    Unfortunatly by the time it was made public it was too late, so I'm more than happy with the way things are going both on and off the pitch.
    Why try and fix something that isn't broken, a little like changing a winning team to counter the opposition, good managers let the opposition worry about us ceratainly at Valley Parade.

    Should we be promoted then the summer will really show where we are and what Rupp's plans are. The current squad would be bottom half league 1 at best and would need some decent investment.

    11 pages into this thread. I haven't seen one single name mentioned of this phantom investor who is not only prepared to buy the club but inject further cash into the club. Not one single name. They weren't exactly tripping up over each other to invest when we gained promotion and when we were beating premiership teams like Arsenal, Aston villa and Chelski.

    And you won't see one single name.

    Did you see Mr Rupp name before he brought the club?

    Load of names get bashed out about buying Newcastle and Mr Ashley rightly says you will not see the names of a buyer until it's done.

    Understand the business.

    It's not about naming people. That's utter pointless!

    I repeat when it comes to serious buyers of any club you won't know about it.

    The club isn't overly attractive to because they own NO ASSETS and not MOVING FORWARD off the pitch.

    However, it was reported (with no names) that offers have been made for the club but how true that is I don't know as the club say it's not true.

    You're not getting it! I repeat you won't know of a buyer until it's done.

    As for your 10m plus to buy us. Don't be silly!

    Club is worth about 2-4m tops.

    If 10m if the figure being bashed about by Mr Rupp then us fans need to take this thread seriously.

    Anyway, the thread isn't about who is buying the club. It's about how Mr Rupp is going to improve it!

    That's you.

    I believe that if the club were up for sale then people would be interested in buying the club. Most football clubs are brought.

    As for the 10m to take it forward. Sorry I disagree with @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler. They're sites out there in Bradford and I believe 2-3m could get you a decent training ground. Do we stay at VP?

    Look the main issue with Bradford City over the years is that we haven't had serious owners that want to move this club forward. All want the profile of owning a club but don't want to raise the bar.

    Now Mr Rupp can afford to raise the bar but at this minute doesn't seem to want too which as a fan is worrying because Bradford City are going backwards under him and clubs are overtaking us off the pitch.

    The club has no protection!

    Goes back to the point @Dennis@Dennis said.. we just TICK OVER!

    So how are Mr Rupp and Mr Rhodes going to move this club forward? Simple question and one all Bradford City fans should want to know.

    Well if Mr Rupp is wanting 10m then no chance.

    Plenty of people wanted to buy Bury but it's all about the asking price.

    Look if Mr Rupp or Mr Dale or whoever is wanting all there money back plus everything spent then it's not all going to happen is it?

    Even if he's wanting 2m he will struggle.

    The problem is everything is negative.. breakeven, no assets.. no future plans.. no uplift.

    They need to start changing to outlook of the club for starters.
