    he has bought players, fixed the pitch etc. so hasnt been shy with money.

    Call me what you want but the flyover should be postponed. We are turning a corner so anything after that is just political.

    Why would anyone want to call you, you have a right to your opinion, do you think Rupp has done what he's done with regards asking Julian for help because hes not worried about the way his investment might be going.
    How is it "political" both Rahic & Rupp are owners of our club and need reminding they are responsible for where we are as a club at the moment in time.

    How is Rhodes here to improve on-pitch performances?

    He's not, he's here to bring the club closer to the fans.

    Giving Hopkin what he needs will improve on pitch performances and working closely with him.

    The second part is also part of his remit

    I think we need to stay with the plan and keep both names on the banner. Let Rupp know that he needs to keep being involved and can't just absolve himself of responsibility. He is major shareholder after all so has responsibility in letting the current situation take place.

    Well we still don’t know all the ins and outs of Rupps involvement to be able to make any statements about what has been happening since 2016. We are still at the bottom, the improvements are most welcome, so unless the Board would like to inform the fans about what has been going on, nobody is any position to say anything different.

    Really don't think his role is to give Hopkin what he needs. His role is a consultant role. He isn't in control of the purse strings.

    Actual things he's succeeding in getting them to put in place are cheap tickets, free travel, convincing legends like Hendrie to return to the fold, and provide a familiar face to reassure fans. All fan focused.

    Edin is still in the role as no statement has been made that he has relinquished it yet so it still goes ahead as planned with both names.

    So, Rupp invests in the club and either
    A) lacks interest so much that he doesn’t see the mess created by Rahic OR
    B) sees Rahic making a mess and turns a blind eye. Not to mention the fact he is taking a large salary out of the club whilst doing it.

    Sorry, but Rupp is just as accountable for allowing this situation to develop

    I think the Rupp sympathy stems from his distance from the club and a sense of indirect culpability, as opposed to direct culpability.

    But as you quite rightly state, that distance isn't quite the positive that's being made out, because he remains culpable.

    I fully agree with this, as I was going to post the same. I think we should rethink not including Rupp in the banner as alienating him at this time is not a good idea especially if we want funding in January.

    What do other fly over contributors think?

    Is the flyover going ahead on saturday? Or any protests? One reason i ask is a friend is thinking of taking his kids, he’s not a City fan. I said I’d check if there were any wider demo planned or if it will just be a ‘normal’ game. Fingers crossed the fly over goes ahead.

    Just the fly bye as far as I'm aware but then again I'm not on twitter so I might have missed arrangements for a mass protest.

    What time will the flyover be? Apologies if it’s been said, cannot be bothered scrolling back through all the pages.
