Looks like it.

 

Would a possible outcome be a merger with 'Avenue' renamed as Bradford United and play at Horsfall in front of 1,500 ?

 

1500 seems a tad optimistic.

 

I don't think so what would Rupp do write it all off theres nothing at all to sell. Literally the only chance he would have to get any cash back would be to get us back into the league. Personally I think he should sell up he's supported the club financially but having a distant owner like we have at the moment isn't going to work. I don't dislike him he wasn't the one aho caused all this but he either needs to get properly hands on or let someone else do it.

There is still something wrong at the club. People will disagree but there's a toxicity that's been running through the fan base ever since we failed to get up and Mccall was sacked and Collins was appointed. It's not the fans fault before anyone thinks I'm blaming fans I'm not one man shoulders the responsibility for that. In the same way that we developed a real good relationship between fans and the club in the PP years It goes the other way too.

The club needs some serious investment. Playing staff needs a near complete overhaul along with a proper scouting network. Dedicated training facilities need development - training at a school no matter how good they've been for us isn't what a professional club with ambitions to climb the leagues does. The ground needs investment in terms of stuff like more modern dugouts etc

 

All are bothered about their investment and most have put their own team in.

Rupp is disinterested in us hence why we are in massive trouble as a club.

 

I think I have on several occasions over the years. When I was a kid I threw a few tantrums and declared I'm looking for a new club, but it never happened.
I mostly grew up outside of Bradford, so it's not like I was surrounded by loads of City fans either. However, because of that, supporting a sh!t team rather than being a glory hunting Liverpool or Man U fan, was something of a novelty. Now it's the same over here in Estonia, where nearly all the locals support Liverpool or United, and half of them haven't even heard of Bradford City. I think I'd get even more credit for supporting a non league team if we get relegated!

 

I didn't say anything about foreign I said distant because he is can't remember the last time we heard from him and with things the way they are that isn't a good thing to me.

Big difference between us and all those clubs Every single one of those teams has resources we can only dream of so they can afford to put peoplae place to run the club we can't so for us it doesn't work. Comparing us to any of those clubs is a bit if a leap.

 

What people need to realise is Bradford City has given up on them.

 

Personally think Rupp has told the club to be self sufficient and he isn’t willing to back them over the budgets any more.
Just look at our business so far we have cleared some big wages last summer and apart from Cooke and Evans I can’t see the rest being on big money? We are still stuck with a few from before who might be on half decent money and more than we want on the salary cap and with no crowds for the foreseeable I don’t expect any big signings in January. It will be young lads on loan hoping they are good enough.

we’ve moved Sparks up and he can’t be on a proper CEO wage and it doesn’t sound like we will replace him in the old role he had. More get him to cover both judging by his interview on the radio.
We’ve then extended McCall and his assistants contract. Again won’t be on mega money as Rhodes negotiated that and he knew the constraints.

Expecting a long season this season and if we survive another long one next. Rupp to quote fordy seems to have given up to an extent
