That's 100% our type of signing bottom of the Scottish championship but Adams will call him a winner I just saw that. I thought back to the number of signings we've made over recent years, are how many are just genuine football losers? I know not many actually have success but we just seem content to sign players who've never won anything or be part of any successful side. We have a couple of consistent performers over the course of their careers but even they are held back by teammates who are more accustomed to losing and taking flak. Like the season we went down from L1 and we signed a bunch of players who had just been relegated from elsewhere, some of them off consecutive relegations - no winning mentality or what it takes to be a last of a successful side or be part of something that works, at any level. Keep signing losers, expect to keep losing.

If we're for sale surely they're touting to the likes of Mike Ashley, would be pocket money for someone like that to revamp the club and get us up, even if it is at the cost of playing at the sports direct stadium

Its bollocks. But even if it were true, this club wouldn't don anything proactively. We'd stick it on RightMove and wait for the oil sheiks to come running

There's a reason the Geordies hate him.

May as well chuck Baldwin in there as well. His name always does the rounds too. It's all a load of shite even if the club is for sale. Rupp wants way too much. Even a multi-partner consortium paying a share wouldn't go for it. It's a club on the arse end of the football league with fuck all assets and the elephant in the room that is VP Rent

Alright, Stefan, we’ve had a good downward spiral, time for someone else to have a go.

Just reading the replies to the tweet from the 'leading' man on the project... we're really about to become a crypto-nerds play thing aren't we?

If Rupp is never to going to put in substantial funds to sort out the issues (that he damn well would have known about when he took over e.g. training ground) and just think we magically find and develop sellable assets to pay for everything then any alternative sounds better.
Even if it fucking ruins the club and they go bust, I'd rather have that the purgatory of treading water in the lower half of legaue 2 celebrating draws against Barrow and Sutton.
Without decent investment off the pitch, even if we were to go up under Adams, it would just be papering over the cracks.
It's almost like we have nothing to show at all for the last 15 years - we're in a no different place - same shit facilities, same development set up, no assets... like the chav who won £7m on the lottery and lost it all.
We have nothing, we are nothing and without that investment we'll always be at risk.

All i want to know is what the fuck does ‘amped’ mean?

We’re dying a slow death anyway so fuck it, I’m on board. If I don’t post for a while it’s because I’m off getting my knob pierced and learning to BMX.

Is there really going to be that much demand around Bradford City related NFT's? In the least patronising way possible, good luck in explaining the value of an NFT to the average Bradford City fan.

Hold the phone, is this £15m price tag for real or is that the amount they plan to invest in total? I can’t read the article but if these guys are paying £15m for us then that’s a black mark against them straight away. Look what happened under the last guy that overpaid…

Is there fuck but imagine the fun watching people who get angry buying a meat pie with a debit card scratching their heads and letting their bottom jaws hang loose when being sold the rights to an EPS image of Valley Parade.

I know fuck all about crypto, but this club's going nowhere. May as well roll the dice.

I've absolutely no fucking idea what a Nfts is or how crypto works. I know it's volatile and it's dangerous to get involved with it, but...... It's gotta be a lot more fun than watching 1-1 draws with Sutton and being dry bummed by Harrogate.
