    The silence from Rahic is deafening. The club is in a very difficult place, yet the ‘owner in situ’ has not spoken for some considerable time.

    Remember his clear definition as to how he sees his role, ‘As an owner, CO and head of football, so to speak, I have another type of attitude to work to the manager. It is difficult for Stuart to understand. I’m head of football. “I will comment if we concede a goal because I know about football. You have to take me seriously”.

    Read more at: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/bradford-city/learning-curve-for-bradford-city-s-edin-rahic-and-stuart-mccall-1-8549163

    So this is not just an owner, akin to the Glazers or Mansour for example, but someone who has a ‘hands on’ role in which he is the centre of all decision making.

    Remember Rahic has said, ‘Over the coming months, I am looking forward to meeting with various supporter groups, partners and season-ticket holders. These events will provide opportunities for you to ask the questions you wish to ask about the future of the club going forward’. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/16838185.edin-rahic-says-sorry-to-bradford-city-fans/. That was over eight weeks ago!

    Apart from the single meeting with the BCST group, then as far as I am aware he has not spoken to any supporter group or season-ticket holders. If you know otherwise, feel free to correct me and provide a link to confirm that this has taken place.

    When has Rahic last talked to the press? Again I am not aware of anything since the 13th September 2018.

    So what has actually changed from Rahic’s perspective, since the start of the season. What has he learn’t, what has he stopped doing, what is he doing, what is he planning?

    The ‘wall of silence’ is just adding to the mood.

    All we're going to get from him is another generic apology, nothing will change and things will carry on as they are until the void consumes us all

    Hopefully never. I’ve long since got bored of the shite that he spouts. It’s the same regurgitated crap with every interview he does.

    Playing devil’s advocate, he’s probably thinking “what’s the point”, as whatever he says he will get shot down.

    Really? That's a new one on me. If this is true, do you or anybody else connected with Bingley Bantams know whether there was a transcript of this meeting so we can all read what was discussed?

    I know that he had met with Shipley Bantams before the 13/9/2018. I am not sure he has met with Bingley Bantams, I am sure that someone on here will correct me.There is nothing in their photo archive http://bingleybantams.co.uk/photogallery.html or any reference whatsoever of any meeting with Rahic.

    Looking at their website, they are focusing on their Winterball on 24/11/2018 (a plug guys!;)) http://bingleybantams.co.uk/winterball.html

    I guess you go to the press, or dare I say it use the clubs own web page and tell people what you are proposing. Then gauge what the responses are. Then if there is some positive feedback, arrange meetings. Just adopting some form of bunker mentality is not going to help.

    who is at fault then? his position is untenable, you would go along way round city fans to find anybody who is willing to believe what he says. In either event he has to speak he has to tell the fans what the plans are for the club going forward. The plan this year was for playoffs minimum, think we can rule that out; yes it is time to speak.

    I am still a member of Bingley Bantams. I am not aware of any official meeting that has been minuted, but I am aware of private meetings @City-since-67@City-since-67 would know if that assumption is wrong.

    Are there still outstanding transfer payments eg CHARLIE WYKE, and if so, could that a reason for EDIN to delay in leaving,or selling his shares.?

    You’ve more chance of getting a tug job off Cheryl Cole than you have of the ego admitting that :p

    I prefer him to just leave he doesn't need to apologise, the majority of Bradford City fans know he's been a disaster for our club, so much so that I said to a fellow poster, let's be honest if someone came into our club with the intention of destroying it, and all the great work done by previous owners and Phil Parkinson they couldn't have done a better job, sad but Edin obviously does NOT know football.
    I still prefer both to go but if we can get a CEO?CCO in with football experience maybe together the situation can be pulled around.

    We have had private meetings with Edin but I'm sure you would accept there is a confidentiality issue involved !!
