BRADFORD CITY DOCUMENTARY 2018

MATTER OF HEART
In May 2016 Stefan Rupp and Edin Rahic became the first German owners of a British football club when they completed their takeover of Bradford City.Due to restrictions in Germany preventing private ownership of a football club, the pair eventually found their spiritual home in West Yorkshire.Matter of Heart' answers the question as to why the German businessmen chose Bradford and provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes insight into their dramatic first year in charge.From losing their manager to a divisional rival, to coping with the departure of the club's talisman, this documentary demonstrates the unique challenges faced by Rupp and Rahic during their first year at the helm.With culture clashes, backroom divides and the pressure cooker environment of professional football, this film details the highs and lows of The Bantams' breathtaking campaign.

Another good player Sean scannell he was one of Huddersfield best players in the championship, I’m putting a bet on Bradford to get promoted this coming season 👍

[@Harveybcafc]

I'm a Bradford fan and my friend who's is a huddersfield fan says Bradford will get promoted this season.

[@johnmetrac2898]

Harvey I really hope they do get promoted Bradford city is a big club they shouldn’t be were they are 👍

OK... I officially like these owners. The one guy is talking about his family, and proudly, but also humbly... and playfully says... 'As long as the fridge is full, all is well.' Amen to that. The other guy is very upbeat, but seriously talking with the staff about promotion. I don't know... what can I say. I'm American. I just know a lot of MLS ownership is crap. These guys are engaged in the club. They seem respectful, and understand their responsibility to the club and community. I like it.

[@Jack-js2mn]

Unfortunately the guy talking about promotion almost destroyed the club. Eventually he left.

[@Cool-Edit-5000]

@@Jack-js2mn I'll admit, I don't really know the situation. I just know we handle things so badly in the US regarding football, so usually anything the Europeans do just seems inherently better, but I really don't know. Thank you for your input.

[@invernessfan3017]

I think that Yorkshire should become part of Scotland, so that then Bradford City can play in the Scottish Premier.

[@O1NTM3NT]

Wtf are you on about talking proper pish

Edin booted out by stefan for been a fraud..they both look like tourists on.this.

[@steve-r-collier]

The book, serialised by the Guardian today and tomorrow, reveals there had been at least eight other fires at business premises either owned by, or connected to, Stafford Heginbotham, Bradford’s then-chairman, in the previous 18 years, resulting in huge insurance claims. Fletcher does not make any direct allegations but he does believe Heginbotham’s history with fires, resulting in payouts of around £27m in today’s terms, warranted further investigation. “Could any man really be as unlucky as Heginbotham had been?” he asks.
