What is the point of BCST? What is the point of Manny Fucking Dominguez? Is there a man more out of touch than him? That cunt Rees Mogg excluded Unfortunately Mike, the supporters trusts (not just ours but every club's) are the only bodies which under the EFL charter, each club is required to recognise and establish lines of communication. If this meeting between them and Rahic is anything to go by, it is nothing more than some limp wristed body of nobodies! I really don't imagine any progress being made between the club and its supporter representatives with this level of dialogue and absence of any challenge of the owner.

It’s no wonder Edin’s happy to make it a regular thing.

BCST & Bingley Bantams brainwashed by Edin, stewards with body cams filming dissenting fans at games it’s turning into 1984 & I don’t mean the year we had a team that even now would rip this current squad a new one!

‘This led to a broader discussion about how many "small puzzles turned into a typhoon", to quote Edin. Many small things had built up, which started the decline’
The epitome of poor leadership. Allowing for multiple and incremental failures due to being unable to recognise and/or respond accordingly.
‘It was clear that Edin believes the FA Cup is a key competition for the club financially. He felt the Club had missed a key opportunity against Manchester United, an opportunity to raise revenue and strengthen its position in the transfer market. Despite large offers being made to bring proven players into the Club, this lost revenue may have impacted on the funds available for key targets. It is our understanding this coincided with the opening of the January Transfer Window. Offers were made by rivals for key Bradford City Players, which the club declined to accept. This caused issues with players which had big impacts within the dressing room, affecting moral and contributing to decline in results and loss of form, which the club have not recovered from. This ultimately led to a change of football management.’
Ah yes. The financial impact of going out of the cup early was so severe that we had no choice but to reject offers for some of our players and increase the playing budget for the following season.
‘Following Stuart McCall’s departure, Edin employed a manager based on his record of a high pedigree at our level. This was widely accepted as a good appointment by the majority of Bradford City fans and the wider football community’.
Maybe. But lets not mention anything about the ridiculous decision to sack Stuart in the first place; a decision they clearly couldn’t wait to take.
‘Between the combined circumstances of bad weather and postponed matches, a tough run of fixtures, and weather related issues with the training ground, the Club never saw the immediate change of fortunes to cement themselves as serious play-off contenders.’
Ah yeah. The weather. That was the problem. And tough fixtures. Damn those tough fixtures.
‘Also the effects of the adverse and prolonged bad weather during Simon Grayson's management caused a number of issues for training. The Trust Board questioned why Simon Grayson did not extend his stay beyond the end of the season; this was explained as "Simon saw himself as a Championship Manager", and a search for a new manager got underway.’
He never said anything of the sort. He was on record as disclosing his reasons for leaving being, essentially, that the club wouldn’t provide the tools needed for success at this level
‘The owners accept that the appointment of the initial coaching team of Michael Collins, Martin Drury and Greg Abbott did not work out’.
They accept it do they?! Well, that’s nice.
'The Trust questioned the Club representatives about investment over the summer months, recruitment strategy, and the emphasis on signing young playing talent. During the summer months large investments were put into the infrastructure of the Club, making it able to be more sustainable in the years to come. These included an upgrade to the drainage on the pitch, the ticket system, the customer management software, club shop, maintenance equipment, back office equipment for the club staff, and general much needed stadium maintenance. All of this was to prepare the Club for the future years, and for Championship football. There was also a significant increase in the rent for the ground and a very significant increase of electric bills, as well as a huge increase of water usage (due to better pitch drainage). '
Outstanding. We’ve delivered the essential infrastructure improvements required to ensure that the club can be more sustainable. By increasing the bills.
‘In addition, Edin spoke of how the playing budget was significantly higher than last season.’
OK. Who f*cked up?
'Significant investment has also been made within the youth academy setup and performances have been very impressive, with a host of talented youngsters coming through the ranks. '
What ranks? Which talented youngsters?!
'We therefore questioned whether the Club believed the recruitment strategy was the correct one in the short term.'
Was it being bottom out of all 92 clubs in the country during the course of 2018 that led to this ‘question’…?
‘The owners acknowledged the short-term requirement for a balanced squad.’
OK. Who f*cked up. Again.
'However it was emphasised that the current discontent from the stands – which is not helped by the run of results and current league position'
Not helped by?! It’s the sole bloody cause of it!!! 92nd out of 92!!!!
‘Edin told the Trust that the next few months are "vital" to Bradford City. it is vital that everyone makes Valley Parade as attractive a prospect as possible, as this will help determine the attractiveness of the Club to potential players ahead of the January Transfer Window.’
The LAST few were vital!! And he made a monumental f*ck up of it through incompetence and vanity. The level of support this club gets will be the SOLE attraction for players come January. Every single thing that serves as a deterrent will be at Edin’s door, and he has a f*cking cheek to suggest otherwise.
‘The Trust feels that any action at this time which would be detrimental to recruitment and to results, and potentially to the clubs League One status, would not be in the interests of the Club or the fans in the short term or long term.’
As above.
'After Simon Grayson’s comments about the training facility when he left the Club in the summer, the Trust questioned what David Hopkin thought of the training ground and facilities. No such concerns have been expressed by David Hopkin. Paula Watson told the Trust that the bad weather in the early part of the year did cause issues for Simon Grayson but this was unavoidable. '
‘The Trust Board concluded by asking Edin about the lessons he had learnt during his tenure.’
FFS. Are they on the wind up?
'While Edin expressed commitment to the Club and the importance of ongoing dialogue with supporters groups, he expressed concern that this was being undermined by a minority of individuals who have been xenophobic towards not only him but also his family.'
Garbage. Any such issues are an extreme minority, the like of which all high profile figures have to contend with. And when they continue to show contempt for their staff and customers, and demonstrate their incompetence on a continual basis, they have to expect some degree of unpleasantness. To keep raising it as an issue is either a deliberate deflection tactic or another indication of how hopelessly ill-equipped he is for the role he’s taken on.
In short, what a load of bollocks.

Seems bingley bantams and few other of Edin's cuckolds are coming down heavy on anyone challenging the club's positon on finances.
Apparently we were the only club in L1 to not submit extensive accounts last year. And Edin is now on his 5th accountant - his wife. And £27k goes out of the club each month to pay back the loan used to buy it.
Who knows how much more money goes to Germany through whatever channels they can find? The club we signed Brunker from? Grodowskis agent?
And some people want to blindly defend that? I'd rather turn my back now and walk away that blindly follow and waste my time on something so rotten.

Shocking. What a waste of sperm and egg the BCST members are. How that cuntoid Rahic can roll out the 'stick together' bollox is jaw dropping! It's you and your Alice In Wonderland decisions that are driving everything apart you arrogant twat, and blaming the weather?...and the supporters? Fuck off and get out our club you absolute prick. Fuck off.

From that bollocks it's apparent that Manny has decided to take on the role of Squealer in Animal Farm (the book, not the dubious video)- the fucking lickspittle.

Wait, our budget for this year is higher than last? So Rahic cut McCall's budget, demanded a top 6 spot, failed to bring anyone in until the end of Jan, sacked Stuart as soon as the new players did arrive, and then decides to give the PE teacher the financial backing he denied to McCall? And with this increased budget we sign some of the worst players I've ever seen (genuinely feel that even our shitty league two squad players were better than Wright & Riley) and already look like certainties for relegation?
Fuck me.

It's depressing enough that the BCST sit there and take that pile of piss poor excuses like good boys and girls,but to then compound that by saying 'it's not in the club's interest' to do do anything about it?
He must check his bank balance and piss himself that it's all so easy to rape the club. Whilst the BCST smile politely when he offers them a refill of their coffee and another hob nob at their monthly cosy fireside chats with Uncle Edin.
We're royally fucked if this the sum total of the official supporters attitude. They should have at least walked out when he started to list why it's all turned to shit.

Two things we can actually glean from that propaganda piece though: Edin is terrified of the fans acting up (chanting and fan unrest will get to him) and he’s still utterly clueless as to why it’s all going wrong because he still refuses to even contemplate that it’s he himself that’s the root cause.
How much more evidence he’s going to need depends on his level of arrogance and there’s no end to that in sight.

Bit that got me was the water bill going up, as the drains are working we have to water the pitch!
They will be asking hard hitting questions like, can we have real ale in the tea bars, safe standing, fan representation on the board & is it okay for them to call him Edin instead of Lord Rahic?

Little story about the BCST. Back in 2013 & during the club run. The Trust were all over the T&A and Bradford Council for getting VP designated as a community restricted asset or something to stop VP been sold in the event of a takeover or landlord selling it to a developer. Other trusts in the country were doing the same as developers were buying clubs, selling off the grounds and basically running clubs into the ground for a profit.
The club asked them to stop as they had an overseas investor who was looking to put serious money into the club, The trust carried on & the investor clearly saw that VP would be a useless asset if on paper it couldn’t be developed, and pulled out of the deal. Gibb was unhappy as he saw this as the club supporting the Trust to de-value his investment in VP, but the Trust got there pictures in the T&A and got to go to council meetings so they were happy.
Oh and by the way they never got the status for VP in the end so it was a total waste of time and effort.

The one about the water bill going up because the drainage had been fixed was a favourite of mine,”you the fans demanded we fixed the pitch and now because of you lot we have to pay Yorkshire water more to water the pitch. What next? The players are bad because you get on their backs? Oh hold on, sorry thats already been used in the interview.....

It beggars belief. The absolute arrogance of the man; I say man, but there is no sign of an adult. The BCST are completely misguided if they think they will be able to get any further with the Ego. They should withdraw now, or the fans will turn on them!
No sign of any learning, complete transference of any responsibility.
The weather!! Are you having a laugh? Was this weather specifically directed at City, other club was not affected by the weather the? Cold snowy weather sends the electricity bill up, well what a surprise. Hot sunny weather sends the water bill up, plus it was better when the drains were blocked!!!
I want this arrogant tosser out of our club, now!!
