    No doubt loan.

    Seriously, he’s a joke of an owner.

    Under him we have just gone backwards. He’s as bad as Edin if not worse.

    I agree felt like a loss today. Fair result in all honesty. Just wish we had that killer 3rd goal in us more often.

    We'd sold 14,000 a couple of days ago. So, it won't be lower.

    any team up against us during that first would have seen us off easily. ...... ....... that same team today got put away easily a couple of months ago by us and had we actually turned up for 90 minutes we would have won easily again ................. we continue to make any team decent because we allow it to happen and that been the issue all season .......... you look throughout the season how many points we have dropped to pee poor sides

    Rochdale 3 points dropped
    Crawley 2 points dropped
    Hartlepool 2 points dropped
    Wimbledon 2 points dropped
    Crewe 2 points dropped

    that’s 11 points dropped from teams that sit in the bottom 7 today was a bummer but this has gone on all season ............. and whatever division we are in next season Hughes has to address it ...............

    The one thing none of us know is when Rupp wants his loan repaying. He loaned the club £1.7mill a couple of years ago and none of it has been repaid so far. Despite the extra commercial income coming into the club, the good response from next season's ST sales, etc, it may be that failing to gain promotion this season in addition to a similar failure last season provides the excuse/reason to have the loan repaid. If that does happen, there will inevitably be an impact on the playing budget from finding the cash to repay some or all of the loan.

    We'll know better once the summer transfer window opens and the clear out begins.

    So he did put his hand in his pocket then? Thanks for clearing that up.

    You do seem somewhat confused at times when you are slagging the club off.

    As a loan to the club to protect his own interest. Like @Dennis@Dennis has said above it will need repaying and it hasn’t as yet.

    So what can you do ??????
    Is there a mystery buying in the background ?????

    I know you’ve got issues with him but he can’t be blamed for what’s happened this season that is totally on Hughes he’s been backed and failed to get us where we should be ........... we are good enough but his sets ups or lack of simply going for it will cost us this season :( had this Bradford City over the last 2 months turned up in August we would have walked this league but the reason we haven’t is down to one man sadly

    The club has had bids but he’s turned them down. Wants silly money for the club.

    Someone always wants to buy a football club .

    What a weird season. We could still get promoted automatically or even miss out on the playoffs altogether

    He'd be pretty bonkers to take his money back now. His club is worth considerably more in League 1 than League 2.

    not one who doesn’t own there ground and I can’t recall anyone going public with a bid ............. this season ain’t down to him Hughes has been backed if we fail it’s down to him and nothing to do with the owners .............today’s was a throwback to what happened months ago .........allowing a team to get into the game when we should have been in there faces and one man is to blame for that and it ain’t Rupp ............ out loan dealings have been piss poor whose that down to ????

    They will be above us next season if we don’t sort ourselves out.

    Yes, a League 1 club is likely to be worth more than a League 2 club. How much more for a club with few tangible assets is less clear. However, if we don't get promoted this season, that would be seven years of consecutive failures which show no sign of being overturned. Since there have been no offers for the club which meet his own valuation, there will come a point when having his loan repaid becomes tempting.

    What a grim day. Walking down Midland Road after the game was like a scene from some weird American sci-fi movie from the fifties where a city has to be evacuated to escape an alien attack. Hundreds of people trudging along in complete silence.

    Shame he didn’t see through Edin or his own greed.
