    Agree with you completely about Bruenker's performance in the Oxford game. I went to Luton too, and unfortunately he was poor and I wasn't surprised he was subbed at half time. I agree it will be a different type of game against Peterborough and that, plus his last performance means he won't start.

    Are we talking about BC Bantams? Alan Biggin is also a Director and Company Secretary appointed on 25th May 2016 the same day as Rahic and 2 days after Rhodes and Lawn resigned.

    Not sure what if any part Alan Biggin could play in moving Edin along or if he has any voting rights.

    Thank you. It's more complicated than I imagined. Yet this is what can often happen (To Herr Rupp), and I'm very surprised he was caught so easily ......... Yet most of us at VP were too, initially !
    We welcomed a dream, which soon became a nightmare ......... :(

    No. Rahic is employed by Bradford City Football Club. BC Bantams is simply an intermediate holding company controlled by the owners of the German HoldCo - R&R.

    Rahic is employed by an English company in England and therefore governed by English employment law.

    Totally agree. We seem to have fans who constantly want to beat themselves up and join in with every article stating that there's been some mismanagement (really!!) as though it's some kind of once in a lifetime event that never has occured before or other clubs

    I'm aware what a mess Edin has made of things, I don't need to be keep getting told on these forum's

    What on earth for? Isn't our position embarrassing enough without highlighting it to everyone?

    This is like we get on FB or Jeremy Kyle - it seems everyone thinks that sharing their issues is what everyone else wants to see or hear

    It isn't

    If you think this 'publicity' makes a difference to the Edin status (i.e. he's seen this article and so it makes him more likely to go) it won't. However, it does have a negative affect on staff morale, just as Rhodes and Hopkin are making positive steps to do get things going.

    NOT quite true, there, @banbrotam@banbrotam .............
    For City fans are not always like sheep. :)
    The broader issue is that although we City fans are disgruntled and pee'd off, the greater football populous are now more aware of where this was conceived.
    It's true that Rhodes is making an immediate impact, but that line is only so long, as a means of rescue.
    Let's see where the on coming road takes us, before we condemn any points of view.
    Wrong turn, or right turn ? We'll see ...........

    Problem is that the press love a good negative story, so it's 'poor old Bradford'

    I don't want other fans sympathy and ironically we're probably better set up now than at any point since Parky's time

    Yes, it's taken a crisis for this to happen and lessons need to be learned, but I don't like us patronised in the way we are - had enough of that in the administration days!!

    As it is a forum about all things Bradford City and that clown has made us what we are at the moment, I'd take it as a given his name will crop up now and again, but I'll be delighted when he's out of our club and his name is never mentioned again, maybe try this forum I'm sure he won't be mentioned on there.

    bonkersbantam has typed "we are probably better set up now than at any point since Parky's time"

    Aye.

    That is why "we" are currently rock bottom and heading for league 2 again.

    Unbelievable Jeff.

    Fair comment BUT in effect IMHO ER has failed in his fiduciary duty to protect the company. So why should he be rewarded by any package other than a taxi to LBA and an easy jet flight back home?

    Because taking an argument like that would string things out by 6-12 months.

    If you're happy with that, that's ok but most executives take a more commercial decision

    I see you don't use LBA often if you think he is going by easyjet.

    Why should I feel embarrassed the press have latched onto the basket case our club has become. We are not responsible for the organisation and running of the club; furthermore I haven’t see any press reports that has been critical of the fans. It is the fans who have kept up the pressure and made the club make changes.

    The most negative effect on staff morale will have been having to contend with Mr (not) Know It All on a daily basis. Can you imagine working for someone like he appears to be?

    All press articles are grist to our "get Rahic out" mill. Keep them coming until he is gone.
