Personally I think if the right price was set on the club we would be a very attractive proposition.

No debt, upgradable facilities, loyal supporter base, couple of player assets, good catchment area, rich history.

Wouldn't take a genius to make us competitive commercially and on the pitch.

Does anyone think PR has ever done a lost business analysis when it comes to no fan zone, poor concessions and poor club shop offering?

For the right price a deal could be done. Sadly our ownership prefer to suck the life out of the club in the meantime. We should have took administration in 2010.

We have become an unloved and unwanted heirloom of a billionaire instead. Slowly being stripped of any value, purpose and self worth. A rusting empire of shit with a fanbase left to accept any old crap served up from the dodgy pies and burgers to non existent right wing backs.

But, in your world I'm sure everything's just fucking hunky dory.

Fret not..... When we drop a division or two we'll all be chipper again... 🙄

That would appear to be debatable.......... I'm sure we'll be flogged at some point for a reasonable price but it will be for damage limitation and we certainly won't be in the Championship when it happens

I bloody hope so but the link supplied earlier by Thracia quoting Mr Costello was a bit thought provoking........ That said, if you are going to go bust then why not do it spectacularly? 🤣

I missed it. Got it now, it's now very good news on Blue Monday.



Oh Hughie Costello said:
We have 14 "senior" players under contract so far for next season. Of the ones out of contract:
Cunningham
Johnson
Brady
Woodburn
Olosunde
Maguire

They are probably on £50k a week between them or £2.5 million a year. The family & associates seemingly want to reduce the burden on them so they may be released and "replaced" with 1st & 2nd year pros.

That still leaves a budget for 4/5 loans from the Prem, plus if Whiteman or Storey are sold for around £1 million that paves the way for a cheap free transfer or two.

Plus it puts the burden on the family at under £9 million for 2023/24 and allows them to publicly state that if a buyer isn't found by June 2024 then the club will be placed in administration with debts owed to Wordon of close to £100 million.

Consistent financial cost-cutting only leads one direction. We are being prepped for life in L1. Bradford will be entering their 20th consecutive season of lower league football next year.

That's the hunky dory life that awaits us once our ownership finish flushing us down the toilet. And you can bet 65on types will just shrug their shoulders and say it's where we are meant to be.

OK,Find one.I am not saying on its down to us mere mortals but you can't force people into buying what they don't want.

The more frustrated I get the more I realise that most North End fans just want a club to support on a Saturday. They couldn't give a fuck about the direction or the division, simply existing is enough.

That's how they get away with it.

I refer you to my previous answer. Just because we won't find one down our local boozer, doesn't mean they don't exist. We don't have to force anything, apart from pressuring this Hemmings brood out of our club. Before too much damage is done.

If the asking price is 5 times what it should be then how can you go looking for buyers unless they are fruit loops?

You are of course correct in theory.... But not in numbers. Dropping to 6k ( or less ) a game is perfectly possible with the right level of neglect...

You sure?

65on said:
It is not a case of nodding dogs. Nobody has suggested a viable buyer as of yet. If they do walk who is going to pay the bills? If a nd when a buyer is found I will be also a happy man but until then is it not better to have SOMEONE rather than no one?

I could go further back to find examples but I can’t be bothered. Point is, that’s actually what you say every time the debate is raised
 
Bolton were bought for £10m, we're only marginally more valuable than them purely because we're a division higher.
