To be fair to Dewhirst he was one of the ones that went to Germany to convince Rupp that Rahic was taking the piss. But apart from that, the only bit that makes sense to me is the lack of vision. Make it through the season without losing too much money and see what happens next season. That’s the Rhodes way. It’s the football equivalent of a bland pork chop, mash and tinned peas for tea every night. He also sucked Rahic off and said we should give him more time, sounds to me like he loves failure He's in the right place then eh?

This bit in particular stood out, the second paragraph seems aimed at me personally tbh after my comments on widthofapost last week: "The siren call for new players, a new manager and new facilities on social media is like the wailing of a toddler at a supermarket checkout wanting everything and wanting it now. Social media has become part of the problem with attention seeking experts creating noise and encouraging the detachment from reality with simplistic and emotive tweets. The apparent resentment expressed online about old people, young people, the bantams family and others who have followed the club through lean years has become like a witch hunt. Certain people are blaming ‘lack of ambition’ on those who sit alongside them in the stands instead of recognising the inheritance at Valley Parade, the legacy of all yesterday’s failings and existing financial commitments as well as the whole Bradford factor." Patronising? Moi? No likes Leon m8, no likes at all on the width of a post post replies, sponsored by gompervision. I gave you a like though because i felt sorry for them all ganging up on you. Not because of your shite post.

I remember when he had a go at us for the "anti-Rahic agenda". He backed the wrong horse there didn't he... Yeah, but he pointed it out to Rupp. Not like we'd ever mentioned that there was owt dodgy about Rahic, no sir, nothing at all. Ever.

Dewhirst is the epitome of all things dull and bland, lives in the past non stop blogs and social media posts about fucking inanimate objects that only dull people talk about. He's everything id hate to turn out like therefore I can easily dismiss this article. Luckily we probably won't win a thing in the rest of his lifetime which I'm sure pleases him no end. To be fair to Dewhirst he was one of the ones that went to Germany to convince Rupp that Rahic was taking the piss. But apart from that, the only bit that makes sense to me is the lack of vision. Make it through the season without losing too much money and see what happens next season. That’s the Rhodes way. It’s the football equivalent of a bland pork chop, mash and tinned peas for tea every night. Just get behind the bland pork chop,mash and tinned peas FFS.

I'd welcome that, it's Fray Bentos tinned pie (chicken/mushroom or mince/onion) and oven chips for me most nights. Pies are from B&M and are perilously close to their sell by dates.

But i ate it because it made me feel British.

Think he must have some issues hence he’s unloading all over social media. He had a Twitter spat with someone the other day when he was criticising ‘experts in the stands’ who know nothing about football, saying they should leave it to GB as he’s been a footballer, managed at a high level, knows his apples etc. The other guy pointed out that the average fan in the stand who may have not been a professional currently understands more about our weaknesses than BowyerS seems to. I assume Dewhirst ended up blocking him.

The fact we rile him up so much gives me a warm feeling inside.

The whole article read like it was written by a condescending school teacher. It was patronising, had more than a little whiff of “you don’t know you’re born” and in a single article has pretty much summed up the problem with the club and the City as a whole. There are far too many people willing just to accept mediocrity and seem to have the opinion, as has already been said, that it’s either mediocrity or financial Armageddon.
Dewhirst and his band of pensioners want a plan, I’ll give you a fucking plan, it’s the same plan that many of us have had for years and it’s blindingly fucking obvious:
A) up the fucking season ticket prices but to do so the club will need to invest (the word is invest, not take out a pay day loan) in a team that people will pay for. They’ve already missed the boat on this once, don’t fuck it up again Captain Admin.
B) communicate with the fans and give an idea of what the fucking plan is. It will go some way to getting fans onside if there is something to get behind rather than bumbling from one summer to the other
C) invest (that word again) in the youth setup, this is the long term future of the club. Get yourself a nice little player farm going and start flogging them. This one will not be simple, just to clarify, no one is suggesting it is easy but that is a key component. Do it right and reap the rewards.
There, a three point plan, if Augustus doesn’t want to invest, then he can fuck off for me...”but then what” I hear the cries from dictionary corner, well not some more mundane, beige corduroy, sherry trifle, out of date, pile of boring shit we currently have!

This is what the 'Fan media focus group' was set up for. We are seeing a significant increase in unrest and now the group is being set to work on stopping it.
This article didn't work because I list interest after the second paragraph.
Boring old cunt.

In other words do their fucking jobs for them.

No he isn't. Fray Bentos is named after the place in Uruguay where it was first produced. The company was set up by a German called Liebig and later sold to a British-Dutch transnational consumer goods company. Foreign as fuck, m9.

Bearing in mind we just bumble on and on, what does Captain Admin actually do all day?

I'll have a crack at that, but first I'll need to see City's full accounts for the last three years, each player's contract, confirmation of Rupp's current financial status etc.
I imagine they'll be happy to hand over all the info I need.

TL;DR: Running a football club costs money. No fucking shit. What an amazing revelation. Excellent score on boomer nonce bingo: ✅ Have a go at Sky ✅ Casually suggest you are smarter than the average bear ✅ Things were better in my day rant ✅ General holier than thou attitude ✅ Happy to have a club to support Give it a fucking rest.
