    He came in short term to help get the club back on an even keel, I belive Stefan asked him to stay on.

    Rhodes isn't taking this club forward.

    I don't need to know but Rhodes has done his time here and operating like when he owned the club.

    We need now to move forward and someone with fresh ideas.

    Look, longer Mr Rhodes stays the more it looks like Mr Rupp is trying to sell the club.

    How should he be taking the club forrads at this time? What should he be doing in your eyes?

    I have no doubt whatsoever that Rupp wants to sell the club (my opinion of course)

    A typical @Fordy117@Fordy117 reply to a simple question he tell us all he wants Julian out but can't put a name to his rellacement.
    We're 3rd in the league with games in hand for Gods sake and Julian is very much a part of that team that has got us there but not an ounce if credit from Mr Negative..

    Ah stands to reason, we lose a cup game to a team from a higher division and now Rhodes needs binning off. Love the logic and a good over reaction on a Wednesday morning, if we lose to Plymouth the comments will be tasty.

    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.
