crazy idea here, so please don’t shoot me down.
How about setting up a fund/ membership with a view to buying the club? If businesses see the fans and communities working together, they will come on board. City is a club for the fans, not the rich and shameless.
Once again it’s just an idea

Our fans could only get 250k to stop us going bust, still more than Rahic has put up but not enough to get anywhere near getting the club

250k maybe all that’s needed the way things are going

I'm going to start selling handjobs on match days..... On behalf of Neshead . I think its what he'd want. All proceeds go to the campaign. Minus a small deduction for my expenses.

Rahic's share of that was 22.5%. That's a lot more than £250k

The ones clamouring for Lawn and Rhodes back should hold their heads in shame, they fucked off as soon as they saw the dollar signs. For two guys doing ‘due dilligence’ they sure seem clueless, they would have been better off getting a club for next to fuck all and then pumping the €millions into the infrastructure they seem to crave.

That's a lot more than £250k Million or so from Rupp, 250k from Rahic and the rest in a loan from one of Rupp’s companies to German HoldCo is what I was led to believe.

For two guys doing ‘due dilligence’ they sure seem clueless, they would have been better off getting a club for next to fuck all and then pumping the €millions into the infrastructure they seem to crave. It cost them €6.8mill to buy us but that probably included advisors fees which were probably in the hundreds of thousands. Lawn and the Rhodes' didn't receive all of that. Much of that finance (probably) came from Rupp's companies but that's by the by. The important issue is that the club's assets were probably worth less than half of that with little if any revenue growth or profit potential. The only positive is that the loans they took on to buy the club are nothing at all to do with the club. They are in the German HoldCo. They bought a pig in the poke in my book! They were either conned or are just incompetent or used the wrong advisers and for me that's at the heart of our current problem. R&R have no financial headroom whatsoever to genuinely invest in youth development (despite that being their declared strategy) or invest in a promotion push. We've been lucky this season in having the windfalls from Wisdom and Wells to put a bit more into the playing budget for Scannell's and probably Doyle's contract as well but that won't be there for much longer. Edit - I've just checked the German HoldCo accounts again and Rupp was originally in for €5.3mill and Rahic for €1.5mil. I can't tell what proportion of those numbers were in cash and in loans. But in a sense that's academic because they are for all intents and purposes private loans and nothing to do with Bradford City. It's Rupp and Rahic who are responsible for them and not our club.

Agreed...although lets be fair we've one foot in the door even now, my point being their stable, are always challenging for promotion, keep faith with managers etc....I want to be that, but challenging for Championship...again.
