Tue 10 Jun, 01:30 PM


Bradford City's joint-chairmen Julian Rhodes and Mark Lawn have revealed they would be willing to sell the club to the right investor.The Bantams are expected to break even for the first time since the club were in the Premier League eight years ago when the annual accounts are released at the end of this month.

Rhodes told the club's official website: "You never know what's round the corner. Maybe somebody might come along one day and offer to double the budget - but it won't be me and Mark because we can't afford to do that.

"I'm pleased to see that we are on the map again for clubs outside the top two divisions. The success of last year's season-ticket scheme has got people looking at us in a positive way, which makes a nice change.

"People are talking about Bradford City for the right reasons. But I've always said I wouldn't stand in the way of progress if somebody came in and offered to seriously invest in the team, and I know Mark (Lawn) is of the same viewpoint.

"We're both Bradford City supporters and want the club to do well, but we're not on some big ego trip."
