Bradford City chairman Stefan Rupp on his new approach to owning the League Two club

Stefan Rupp is ready to talk now.

“If there is criticism, I’m happy to take it and to learn from it,' he says. 'It’s a forward-and-back communication. It’s not just about me talking but also people asking questions and giving me their feedback.
