Bradford in need of a new beginning after sorry story of mismanagement

Managed 6 pages without, almost a record

 

Exactly, Prime example, I was totally of the opinion through reading social media that the playing budget had been significantly slashed at least twice, until reading the WOAP article yesterday.
Unless of course, this could include transfer fees, and the actual wages were slashed. Old Edin did bang on about a wage structure made up of bonus payment.
Sorry I've digressed the thread haha

 

True mate but as far as I know they have to vote to pay a dividend. If Rupp doesn't want a dividend paid I guess he out votes any shareholders that do.

 

I agree with that. I was disagreeing with the poster who said Rupp could pay himself a dividend but not pay one to Edin. Where's Dennis when you need him

 

But it's a more interesting story if we make up a few of the elements, instead of stringently following 'the law'.

So for me, we CAN get rid of him, easily and quickly, just by telling him to go. He'd also owe us £10m for the pleasure.

 

I'm going to post that on Twitter and claim it to be factz because someone mentioned it.

Just waiting for the likes now.

 

Nope. It's a thread about people on here talking nonsense.

In that category, "Big target men" just happen to be a speciality for some here.

 

Listen Monkey, I don't appreciate being bracketed with Park as a completely uncritical happy clapper.

Nor do I think that Bruenker is good enough to be a L1 target man but, frighteningly, he's the only one we've got at present. We've been trying to play without one all season, which would be fine except that we also have no wingers available either, and we're not good enough to pass through teams on the deck, so the ball just bounces straight back at us off opposing CBs. Bruenker quite literally won more headers in that one game than Doyle and Miller have won between them all season. It was the only game I've seen where opposing CBs didn't get an armchair ride all afternoon.

He may well have been hopeless at Luton - as I say, he isn't a L1 standard player so he is going to be inconsistent. But against Oxford he did make a difference and only the most jaundiced curmudgeon could deny that.

The evidence of my own eyes tells me that he did play a role in our two goals. He won a header that led to the corner, which we scored from. He also won a flick-on early in the move for our second goal, as you have admitted. Although neither were direct assists, both headers help set up attacks that led to goals. In previous games, without Brunker winning those headers, the ball would have come straight back at us from their CBs, as it has all season, so the goalscoring opportunities would have never happened. If you can't appreciate or acknowledge that reality then that's your blinkered problem. Bizarre really.

He also should have had an assist for a goal that was scored directly from his header in the box and wrongly disallowed for offside. Hardly his fault that the lino got it wrong.

The fact that lots of others liked my post shows that not everyone has your tunnel vision and can see the bigger picture.

Am I happy that Bruenker is our only big forrad? Of course I'm not. Do I think we need better? Yes, urgently. But do I stand by the evidence of my own eyes that he was an important part of our win over Oxford? Damn right I do.

 

Well said and I agree. It will be interesting to see if he starts the next match as we performed well against Peterborough without him.

 

I was at the Peterborough game. We performed well defensively but TBH we looked as powder puff and ineffective going forward as we have in most other games this season.

I doubt that Hopkin will start with Bruenker at Posh tomorrow. Last Saturday we had an attacking formation which worked well at home against Oxford. Away at Posh is a different animal. I expect Hopkin to play it tight with an extra midfielder and have Bruenker on the bench as an option if needed.

 

Because Oystons actually a fraud, proven in court

 

A big query, from me here ...........

As a 'base' employee, I had no, or limited rights regarding redundancy or annual bonuses, if I had served less than 24 months - Even so - On those few occasions where I qualified, my rights were dependant upon 'time served'. Rahic has been 'on the books' for less than 3 years .............

My last employment within Bradford saw me engaged as a Technical Engineer for over 10 years. They could not sack me, nor make me redundant. However - Via ACAS, my employer 'bought their freedom' (Thank you very much ).
I received a pay off much greater than any redundancy package could offer, and to refuse could have made my life difficult.

I don't understand the mechanics of all this, but perhaps @Dennis could help ?
Is there a cheap and viable option to oust ER (as a Director) from VP, Dennis ?

 

Everything can be solved with a large enough cheque. That’s what it boils down to.

 

If its a German company would it fall within British employment law, would it be German employment law or would it be under EU employment law ?.
