What are Rupp's Plans for City?

She won the Pools (lottery) back in the day. Crica £3.5m in todays wonga. Vowed to spend,spend,spend and did just that.
60's equivalent to that Chavy tw@t from Norwich

 

You're are ways good for a laugh, can you remind us all how Rahic in your words "was not far off his mater plan", you go on about assets just what assets did Rahic leave Bradford City, his master plan got us relegated to a lower league than when him and Rupp bought the club, some plan.
Go ahead @Fordy117 the floor is your ?.

 

He was pointing to how Rahic wanted to buy young, cheap players then improve them and sell then on. Then reinvest the money buying better young players and sell them on at a higher price and so on.

We all know the plan wasn't executed correctly but in theory it could potentially work if executed correctly.

 

I know what he was pointing out and it was a disaster for our club, taking monies from where it should have been spent on strengthening the first team squad.
The first sign of one of his development players scoring he gets a 3 year contract on the back of his goal against Blackpool, yes Rahic's master plan was not far off.

 

You've completely (and deliberately?) misinterpreted Fordys post. He didn't say Edins plan nearly worked, he said Edin wasn't far wide of the mark when he came up with the actual plan.

 

The money that GR and the Rhodes family invested time get us into the PL wasn’t really a gamble on the clubs future but more of their own personal wealth. Had we not gone up, they’d have lost money on big transfer fees without risking the club as a whole.
GR took the risks to another level when he rebuilt the stadium and committed to those silly salaries on long contracts.
I don’t want to see that ever happen again but I do want the current owner or any new owner to do what GR did and commit some of their own money.

 

You need to go back and read it. Especially the line immediately before the brackets.

As I said, you've either not understood or deliberately misinterpreted.

 

The silly salaries were the thing that killed him, everything else was pretty much bang on the money. The risk on ground developments was a necessity that we are able to take advantage of to this day. As for a new owner committing some of their own money Stefan Rupp already has in his purchase of the club. Not that it will be on spending level of Richmond but BFG realised quickly that, to back up his grandiose plans and the time scale he claimed, he needed to spend big. I don't ever envisage another owner ever doing that again in my lifetime.

 

Neither,
I'm still awaiting either you or @Fordy 117 giving one example of what was achieved during Rahics development squad days made @Fordy117 comment "was not far off his mater plan" correct ?.

 

How do you measure not far off ?, give me one positive from his regime at the club, just the one.

 

I'll go for not understood then seeing as you're still banging on about what Rahic achieved.

Honestly, please go back and read the original post, it's really not that difficult to see where you're going wrong.

 

Edin wasn't far off? Tell you what Fordy, i've read some stuff on here over the years but that takes the biscuit. The only thing he wasn't far off was ruin us for a generation. had he have still been here i've no doubt he would have succeeded in this.

 

What plan was that?

 

I posted it further up. He stated his plan (before he got everything so terribly wrong) was to buy young talent, improve them and sell them on. Reinvest in better youth talent and sell then on at higher fees and so on.

The execution was terrible, there's no doubting that but the actual plan can be workable if everything is done correctly, including the investment.
