Through the out door

Oh come on!!

Rhodes was brought back in by Rupp to help sort out the Edin mess. The mess that you state was massive! You now claim to say we might be turning a corner.

Turning a corner isn't down to Ryan is it? As he has been here 2 minutes. It's would have been down to Rhodes. So why wouldn't the club thank him for his time and do a goodbye story on the website?

Is he a paid consultant to the club or not?

I 'm not believing he has left or has nothing to do with the club. Sorry, I don't.

 

Not something that really bothers me either way, just thought (for once) Fordy had a point...

 

Think I'm in a better position to know Fordy. You're flogging a dead horse with this.

 

It's a shame we've had 3 recent games postponed that would have given most fans a better idea if T&S were turning things around on the pitch, even without playing those games I feel more positive than I did on 13 December 2020 when Stuarf went.

 

Some folk don't like a send off and he may have said he wanted to go quietly.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill with this.

 

Nothing new for Fordy.

 

Yes, you are. I give you that.

So, when you are at the club next tell them that fans would like a goodbye Mr Rhodes on the website then. He deserves it. Sure Ryan wouldn't have a problem with that.

Bloody hell if Guthrie gets a goodbye then surely Rhodes should get one.

Once that is done I will believe Rhodes isn't a paid consultant or CEO without the title.

 

Priceless....

 

They were League 2 when he took over. 3 years in the Championship in the last 10 years is 3 more than us.

And in that time he's;
- Bought the ground, so no longer paying £450k rent
- Found a new £25M stadium which will be self-funded working alongside the University and incubator companies working in the facilities
- Has talent worth between £15-20M in his squad (Dembele attracting big offers)
- Currently, sitting in the playoffs
- He's sold a 51% share for a considerable sum
- Made £60m on player sales (we made £10m in the same period)

Despite his crowds being a third of ours, his commercial revenue is 3 x higher.

 

I would have hoped we could have used that 60 million better. Yes Peterborough’s model is a good one they have a great record of finding talent buying at the right price and selling at the right price. But the business comes before the ambition they sell no matter how it affects the team. They are going well this year maybe it’s their time

 

It baffles me that fans of our club can point out the negatives of how Peterborough are run. It's like the hunchback of notredame pointing out that you've a boil on your back.

 

McLean, Doyle, Vaughan ....... need I go on?

 

Well put mate, unfortunately we have too many negative bastards bit like Leeds who have more than the average amount of DH fans.

 

Yeah but apart from the years in the championship, buying the stadium, making the club an attractive stepping stone to the Premier League, building a new stadium and selling lots of players. What has he actually done for Peterborough?

That’s success that Rupp and Sparks can only dream off.

 

Is there any need for that sort of comment about fellow City fans, we all have different opinions on all things football maybe you should respect that ?.

 

Now that's a fair assumption, however the T&A printed a front page from the old Yorkshire Sports recently, dated 1971 and 16 of the clubs in the top division are there now.

 

Perhaps AJ should fight him then, instead of Fury

 

And going forward that will always be this case the money the Premier League clubs are getting annually will dictate who plays and stays in it.

 

On that basis, any club that appoints a new manager and has the new manager bounce, the results aren't down to him because he's only been here two minutes ? Ryan appears to be making changes faster than any previous (specifically Rhodes) CEO has ever done.

We had a CEO in the early days of Richmond (or could be in the days of the guy he swapped Scarborough with - the travel agent). He was totally faceless and was sacked after about three months, so faceless I bet know one remembers his name (Wasn't Etherington either).

Give Sparks a chance to make a difference, he wont solve all the ills overnight but if each month ends with a positive change then he is doing a good job.
