    Take this any way you want but your constant anti-fly by propaganda is becoming very tiresome. You are acting like some of the other wums on here. There will be a very large crowd today and despite what you say, all those in claret and amber will be wanting the team to win irrespective of whether they support the fly-by or not. The fly-by is not about the team winning; it is a sentiment being expressed by some fans who simply want rid of Rahic because of what he has brought to the club. If you can't understand that then I suggest you go and play with your own pink dolphin by yourself in the comfort of your home and stop posting the club's Rahic propaganda!

    And to suggest that those who support the fly-by should go and support Rochdale is just insulting to all City fans!

    Bottom line is, the wheels for the fly over were set in motion in mid October. It should have happened three weeks ago.

    Now, it happens today.

    If there were genuine fears at the club about this stunt, it should have been made apparent weeks ago.

    The one pound tickets, allegedly Darby speaking pre game, the apparent marginalisation of Edin, and the re-appointment of Rhodes, as well as the presumably fairly costly signing of Karl Henry all conspire to make this game not as ideal as it might be.

    The contributors have not asked for this to stop, and even if they did, I'd have needed a bit of notice.

    So, it's happening.

    Certain posters can now stop abusing this process, because they can't affect the outcome. Too bad. The damage was done the day Rupp and Rahic really took control and steered us into the maelstrom.

    Over and out.

    Rupps crime as far as I can see was to trust ER with the money to buy players and to run the club on a daily basis.
    I would take Rupps name off the banner.

    Agreed. Personally I would have kept it Rahic out.

    It is what it is though and I still support it in its current format.

    Now time for a few pints and onto VP. Come on City!

    I get what you're saying but surely someone who has the major shareholding should get updates on the progress of the club, he only needed to look at our spiral with regards form and performances since Stuart was sacked to see there was something drastically wrong at our club.
    Was he not party to the appointments of Simon Grayson and more so the gamble that Edin took with our club in appointing Michael Collins, Martin Drury and Greg Abbott all on 3 year deals.
    It does look very much like he gave Edin a free rein, he must be a very trusting guy or a very stupid one, and as he is a wealthy man in his own rights I can't see it being the latter.

    Rahic and Rupp are not old mates.They were introduced when it was known both were interested in buying a football club .Is it possible Rahic has pulled the wool over Rupps eyes and shafted him by claiming he can run the club?

    I agree they are not old friends and never quoted they were, yes I agree there was always a possibility Edin claimed things were better than they were, but it was not hard to open a British newspaper or website like BBC and see how his club was performing and read a few match reports.
    Stefan is just as much to blame for our demise as the incumbent who was running our club on a daily basis, Edin Rahic.

    Whilst you are all entitled to your opinions on this matter and some have decided to back the flyover unfortunately you are going to do damage to the club that you don't even realise. By all means protest to get Edin out since he has pretty much gone anyway but having Rupp's name on this banner is most certainly going to damage the club we are all supposed to love. This really should not be going ahead today I'm afraid.

    It's so sad the club will be in the news for all the wrong reasons today. United We Stand;Divided We Fall. I hope the flyover 64 can look themselves in the mirror tonight.

    May I ask, what in your opinion is the reason Rupps name on the banner will cause '" damage to the club''. Genuinely interested.
