Would you be happy with this guy in charge

I presume you dont like the guy then?

 

We can all have our opinions but the position Peterborough find themselves in at this current time, as you've laid out, can only be described as successful. His choice of managers is very questionable but as it stands they have 3 guys co owning the club who are approachable and open with the aims for success and future plans for the club. I'd much rather have that than what we currently have.

 

You sing Rupp’s praises but look down on an owner who’s achieved far more?

Can’t get my head around that one.

 

Lads we are unbeaten in weeks the only way is up Yowsah…………………… oh and the pitch looks okay too

 

This is the main flaw with McAnthony although Captain Admin’s track record isn’t any better. Generally, I like the way Dmac runs Peterborough. Invests in their infrastructure, backs the manager and has a philosophy that he knows how to deliver.

 

DMacs reputation took a blow employing the likes of Westley and Evans, even with hindsight I wouldn't have employed them. That said, apart from Phil Parkinson, our track record of managers is arguably worse. Phil Parkinson really did save Rhodes arse, he alone pulled this club out of the mire.
No owner/s is/are perfect but I like MacAnthonys strategy.

 

Truth is I wouldn't wish Rahic on anybody,just our bad luck!

 

I remember him (chairman and chief executive) walking past us at Northampton away like he was a demigod... he was cheered too if only we had known the truth

 

Would take him in a heartbeat. Maybe we could tempt more players to stay with bigger attendances than he can at Peterborough if we swapped positions with them?

Unsure on the selling model but anything can happen to players and selling them for a lot of money in most cases can only be good and a reflection on his scouting teams etc. He has now employed a stats and analytics team and looking into that side of recruitment too. Forward thinking and very open. Opposite to our hands off owner.

His management choices are questionable but how many have we got right in the last 20 years? Probably 2? Parky and McCall before Rahic got rid?

 

The ground, the ground. It's all about the ground. No-one will ever put serious money into us unless a decent deal can be made on buying Valley Parade OR serious money brokered and made available to build an entirely new ground elsewhere in Bradford.

 

They also publish full accounts, showing a sign of a club with nothing to hide with full transparency & governance.
Borrowings from the owner at zero interest, although currently an eye watering £6.8M.

One thing also, they don't own their ground and rent at £500k per year and they are responsible for all repairs & improvements. Only holds 14100

Accounts for anyone's perusal attached

 

Id say very much better than any of our recent imcumbents

 

Decaying stadium we don’t own in a less than salubrious part of town. Fan base propped up by cheap season tickets, a fan base which I maintain will die out as a proportion of them move away from the city and their offspring will find other clubs, an acceptance of mediocrity, a history of pissing about in the lower leagues and a completely disinterested council. Apart from that. Massive potential.

 

one decent manager in his entire time at City, the man couldn’t pick a successful manager if he tried

 

Think City fans have had the patience of a saint, since Rhodes, Rupp & Rahic have been in charge. Since 2003 when Rhodes took control, apart from 2013 & the FA cup run what success have we had? What developments have been made off the field? We are run like a non league club, on hand me downs & goodwill. Any money we have had has gone, non invested in the long term future of the club.

 

That comes back as a brothel in West Bowling.
Anything you want to tell us?

 

Wow,thats remote,sure it's far enough? I thought maybe
a lunar location might be better??

 

Since posting this you've systematically had your arse handed to you on a plate by several posters.

Where's your response?

*edited to add*

Just noticed that you were online viewing this thread within the last hour so you can't claim you haven't seen it.

 

In a word, yes.

Come on Rupp is a failure taking us backwards. Rahic, no words needed.

And Rhodes, admins, relegation but let's lap us our wonderful cup exploits.
