You know when Hutchinson flew to Germany and single handedly saved us from Rahic? Can’t we do something similar with MacAnthony? Dewhirst, two others were with him or so I was told, don’t give him all the credit .

'Interesting' this particular article has come about, after we started asking more prominently about ambition and strategy over and over again - to the point where other online channels such as Twitter and the other forum started asking as well. It will not have gone unnoticed by the club. Has someone at the club - let's just say oh, I don't know, the director of comms - had a word in WOAPs ear? The topic seems coincidental going by what fans are publicly asking or talking about. I’m told some individuals have had a call from people at the club with something similar to this article so your hypothetical scenario wouldn’t surprise me. Why We Love City #34: exchanging cash for season tickets.

Hahaha, I was way off then! Anyway, can we do that? Dewhirst is a cunt, he lambasted us for calling Rahic out and telling the world what was happening. 6 months later he's taking the credit for saving us. He's part of the propaganda clique and only in it for himself not the good of the club.

I’m not so sure, he’s certainly well connected to the club and he’s got Rupp’s ear, he can certainly see the bigger picture off the field, but I don’t see him in the same light as some of the other cheerleaders.

Really? I find it strange how all their propaganda mouthpieces are always selling things towards bradfordians. So they try and keep them brand looking good. If he's in a good light then his product is in a good light.

Just called them all a set of sad sacks - language modified for a sensitive audience. No doubt be moderated off cos it's not polite enough.

'Well who would you have in charge then?' - what an idiot. It's one of the default responses that someone uses when they have nothing else to say, like criticising anonymity. How many rich businessmen can anyone trot off by name anyway?

The idea that the money saved from the salary cap can be usefully invested to improve the training setup is the kind of hilariously naive fag packet clap trap calculation that our 31 IQ fans lap up whilst standing up to zero scrutiny.
Fleetwoods setup cost 8 million. So how many years do we wait before we can afford that? Then how long will it take to get planning permission? Then how long will it take to build?
Rupp couldn’t give a shit and why would he? I genuinely think he has no idea how perilously close we are to disappearing into non league and his “investment” becoming worth less over night. I don’t think he’s doing it out of spite or malice - just hasn’t got a fucking scooby. Matches the rest of the useless twats.
We’re going into a salary capped season where we have 4 strikers on the books, only one them is any good, and there’s another who’s not even a striker. What kind of fucking strategy is that?
BuT tHaT wAs ThE lAsT mAnAgErS fAuLt
Yea, so who’s “strategy” was it to let him go ham with the budget and squad then sack him a couple of weeks later when it was clear as a cunt in a car crash that he needed to be sacked before the window?
Suggesting that there is any kind of fucking strategy for anything in that place is just fucking insulting

It's a stock reply often used on football forums and social media platforms, the irony being lost on the poster that the whole reason these platforms exist is to discuss these sort of things. Usually linked to gompers.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...
‘It’s okay, we have done this before, cheap season tickets...hope for a cup run,...ohhh a windfall of cash, reinvest? Nope pay off the loan/investment to the owners..the fans? Buggers have cheap season tickets, launch a new kit that will keep em happy’ - Julian Rhodes, guide to running a football club.
You get the feeling that his daddy originally invested in City to keep his son away from the family business.

Pretty sure I remember him having the reins at some point and them almost going to the brink too

Said it before, having 20 years experience is very different from one year’s experience 20 times over. That seems to be Rhodes’ approach.

You get the feeling that his daddy originally invested in City to keep his son away from the family business. The plan is basically to be survive until Spring each year, waiting for the season ticket sales to come in and then a new kit launch to prop up the club for another 12 months. Works every time. Except when people have had enough, with another dreadful January window just adding to the turn-off factor. Then a worldwide virus exposing the fragility of football finance... what were the chances eh?

His latest tweet would suggest he’s joined the McKeown bandwagon of forced positivity with his hilariously ironic saturated green grass jibe. There’s a few of them who’ve been contacted by the club to help drum up a little manufactured positivity - it doesn’t take much working out who. They, and the club, expect everyone to fall in line behind these titans of City fandom and that’s why we’re an irritant. The club controls the narrative by means of a few well-placed and influential fans, the gomper production line keeps on ticking and people at City can put their feet up and play solitaire on the office PC away from any kind of pressure. Start holding the club to account and they start circling the wagons.
