    Despite what all the moaners have said Stefan has put his money where his mouth is and put in the funds to get us promoted this season. Well done Stefan !

    Despot is a bit harsh mate, I mean yes he holds absolute power, but he's not come across as harsh, cruel or oppressive

    Yes, thank you for your generosity Stefan. Our club is now back to where it was when you bought it all those years ago.

    Do you know how much he loaned the club to do this and what the repayment terms are, just before you get too giddy?

    Time to leave club politics out and enjoy the moment . We have the summer to talk about how the club moves forward and the merits or otherwise of officials but for the next few days just have a drink if you do so. Chill out and enjoy one of the best conclusions to a season at VP for a very long time.

    Get out of our club SR. A promotion today does not take away from the abject failure of 9 years

    I don’t know why people fell for this thread ……?

    Despite its qualified intentions it inadvertently turned into a fishing expedition.

    Enjoy the moment for 24 hours?

    Watch the fall out when we discover our playing budget is ranked 15th in the division ;)

    We have an owner who has more money than the previous owners so we are better off.

    Has money and spending money on a sport he had no interest in watching are 2 very different things

    He acquired us as a highly competitive League One outfit. Get us back to that level, and not just making up the numbers, and sort the ground ownership situation, then we can talk about credit for Rupp.

    Be interesting to see what he does now
    One swallow does not make a summer etc
    Years of abject failure aren't forgotten till we are challenging for promotion to the championship and even then it's a stretch
    Credit to the players
    It's been a long time coming. !!!!

    Am sure that will be reflected in the price should any interested party step forward
    If he's serious he will have to invest to maintain L1 status
    Time will tell

    Give over the reason we ended up where we are is down to his failures and if he did put in a decent budget last season it was simply to protect his investment.
    This club was on the brink of Championship football before him and his fookwit friend decided to destroy years of hardwork so please dont be offended of i dont give him any praise ................its down to GA the players and more importantly the fans who have stuck by the club despite years of fook ups and false promises

    His saleable asset has increased over night, let’s see how he proceeds
    Do we get prize money for getting promoted ?

    It isn't though. It's still at least 5 decent players from even being close.
