So he's gone...

[Ed]

So Peter's gone, and never put the money in the club like he said he was going too - reason being he never had the cash to put in.

I'll give Peter his due, he could talk the talk but when it ultimatily came down too it he didn't have the hard cash to prove he could do something here.

Why am I still fully behind Rhodes? Well he's demonstrated that he's not going to go down the Richmond road again were things were built on false promises and finance, Well played fella pulling the rug from under Peter, Peter had me convinced he was the right man for the job to turn the ship.

Some of the deals he's pulled off, some good - some not so good but all brought in money.

All I ask now is that you don't get into bed with someone again before they actually put some cold hard cash infront of you. Don't let this happen again and I for one am Greatful for the money and time you have invested in Bradford City, but admit I was like many others duped by Mr Etherington and his gift of the gab.

Deal in cold hard cash like you have yourself Julian, let nobody else in the board room UNTIL they put cash infront of you or the cheque clears!

[Superfatbantam]

Don't be fooled by what is printed or spoke about though Ed. Lesson to everyone is you don't know exactly what is going on.

My approach now would be don't trust anyone.

[Ed]

True, I'm big enough to accept I was duped by Etherington. He sure had the gift of the gab.

[panther]

Well as you all know Im afraid I wasnt but I so wanted him to prove me wrong big time ! tdwn:

[ChuckleBantam]

Your not the only one he duped though are you? That's not a worrying issue. The fact that someone who thinks himself suitable to be the Chairman of a Professional Football Club, was not only duped, but duped without any effort....Now that IS worrying. No painting of rosy pictures or pointing out how much of a fan Rhodes is can ever ever mask that fact.

That's three co-owners and counting. Can anyone else see a pattern emerging here??

[bg]

He wasn't a co-owner; he was a perspective co-owner. I was told about Mr Etherington when all this deal was put together, and I believed what this person told me.

He was another loan merchant; no cash just promises of loans, thanks but no thanks we have had enough of the loans at this club to last a life time.

Thankfully JR sussed him out eventually.

As for the Gibb connection well.............I wouldn't trust that as far as I could push him. He is not interested in this club, apart from making money out of us, he has proved that big style. If he has been trying to sneak in through the back door via Etherington, that more than proves my point.

All we can hope for is that JR can manage to attract a new investment into the club.

A couple of questions....

So the fact he duped Junior, the man supposedly custodian to your football team, so easily doesen't set any alarm bells ringing at all??

Your blind and misplaced faith in Junior's abilities geniuinely tells you that the events of today go in Junior's "credit" column and not the "another fuck up" column??

[Ed]

I think today's events go in both columns, well done for getting rid stupid for not asking for cash upfront.

well something has gone wrong that is for sure, but whether it could have been predicted is a mute point.

I know this, JR will not have anyone in this club who is not a bona fida investor. He sent GR packing because he couldn't/wouldn't raise funds to keep this club going, and he has done exactly the same with PE.

Nothing is ever black and white, just mucky shades of gray, and without full knowledge of all the facts I do feel able to make judgements about people's buisness credentials. Without JR, we wouldn't have a club...........those are the facts.

I predicted it from day one. But then again, I don't have me head permanantly stuck up Juniors Arse.

Nope, that's Propoganda. The fact is, if he sticks around and remains in total control we won't have a club and if people keep on saying what a fantastic job he's doing, that won't be long.

I bow down to chucks superior knowledge - he saw this coming.

Once his fiercest critic, I will never again question his pessemism as being unfounded drivel.

He was right, we must all be pessemistic as our club is clearly doomed!

I couldn't believe it when I heard this today - finally a man making the correct noises and drilling some business acumen into the club and what happens, he fecks off!

Now I guess we'll just keep pumping daddy's money into the club until filtronic goes tits up and britians worst second generation millionaire businessman buries his head in the sand.

The club seemed on the up - I have to agree that Junior is going to become our very own doug ellis - short sighted and commercially inept!

Why do you turn everything into a JR bashing thread? the guy has kept this club going throughout all of our financial woes; yes I know you blame him for everything, from joining the board and investing hard cash in the club in the first place right the way through to two administrations and to our present situation. He has made mistakes along the way, but throughout not once has he showed anything other than total committment to keeping this club on the road.


If it is propoganda that he has kept this club running to the tune of £12 million...........wow that is some propoganda. I haven't forgotton the Rhodes family putting their own house as guarantee, you know the one where your hero was asked to dig deep, and he said no way, and left. He has bankrolled this club this year to the tune of £1.5 million.


If we lose this club, it will not be for the want of JR and his family trying to save it. They will be the biggest losers in financial terms. The only person I see who is waging a war of propoganda is you. Shame we are not taken in by all your vicious nasty charactor assignation of Rhodes. If you see that as I am up his arse so be it; I am not in the habit of critising people when they are trying their level best to build this club back up. Yes it is frustrating that we have no money, but he is determined he is not going down the borrow, spend and hope for the best route.

What did he see coming???

He said the same as the rest, that Etherington money was more than he had hoped for. He did predict it wouldn't make any difference to our demise as a club. TBH I never met any city fan who takes such glee in predicting our downfall.

However other people did point out this mans lack of cash and wondered how he might fund our club.

If you mean his continued criticism of Rhodes, well no doubt that will continue until he gets help for his paranoia.

I said;

It'll all end in tears.

And once again, was proven to be right.
