Statement due next 48 hours

Have the club said there is going to be a statement? Or are we discussing what could be announced at a rumoured announcement?

 

They should look in Germany

Statement will confirm that Reeves and Scannell are still on the payroll and will be considered for team selection once they are located.

 

It’ll take Scannell 2 weeks to get back from wherever he is - as for the other one, feck knows.

 

I've corrected your error Storck

 

Not going to argue the Edin question. It has been discussed to death and it is time to move on.

But I will pick up on some of your other point.....why they would want to buy a team?

Other than the first point, solid fan base, aligned with a metropolitan area that can significantly increase that level of support (very important for the future) the rest are meaningless. Historical heritage....who gives a..... Can I say Bournemouth?

The idea that an investor wants a team in a working class area with working class ethics is laughable. It does make nice PR for cities like Bradford who consider themselves 'working class' but in football terms it is ridiculous. They want a team that has growth potential and will eventually make them money and 'working class...working class ethics' isn't going to do that.

 

I'm sure you're sharing with good intentions. Youve never been a wum as far as I'm concerned.

 

Look. Its bloody clear. There's a rumour that there'll be a statement about future speculation. I think.

 

NOT my thoughts - BUT - R&R's reason for buying our Club. OK with you ?

 

Ricky's rumours. The #bcafc version of the infinite monkey cage.

 

Interim chief executive Julian Rhodes has moved to update supporters on the club’s future.

Rhodes, who returned to the club in November, was set to leave in May - but will now remain at the Northern Commercials Stadium.

He said: “I am fully committed to helping steer the club in the right direction and will not run away from the challenges in front of us.

“In the weeks and months ahead, we will be making key appointments and putting in place a structure which will hopefully ensure we are stronger next season and beyond.

“We will have a real go next season - regardless of the division we are in - with a competitive budget in place to take us forward.

“A challenging summer is ahead of us but Stefan (Rupp) will back the club and everything we do.”

Owner and chairman Stefan Rupp has reiterated that planning is well underway for the 2019/20 campaign.

Rupp said: “I will never turn my back on the club and am 100% committed to guiding Bradford City through this difficult period.

“There is still a chance we can avoid relegation but we are facing the reality of playing League Two football next season.

“Our rebuilding work has already begun. We will deal with what comes our way, I take full responsibility for this, and work harder to come back from it.”

So Stefan stays. Rhodes stays. Competitive budget.

I asked for clarity. That'll do me.

 

I'm going James Hanson and Gary Jones, the way the club have been hammering the Villa goal as a marketing ploy.

Ben Muirhead powering down the wing before running it out of play, might be more appropriate.

 

Saying the right things. Let's hope the actions follow.

 

I thnk this statement says it all R andhR are staying and we will have a competitive budget next season. Good now it’s up to fans to get out and get their season ticketx
