    Better to have failed trying than not to have tried at all

    The point is though that you don't know the alternative would be true. You're pushing it as the only reasonable outcome because it meets the narrative of safety first.

    I fully agree that we should do everything possible to take the club forward but I for one am glad that risks that not only the clubs future in doubt but individual and corporate business who at the last bankruptcy got a penny in the pound from the receivers putting some out of business. I want investment from the top not reckless spending of money we don’t have

    So what are you suggesting we do stay away from Valley Parade until a new manager is appointed, and if so what happens if said new manager is no better than the 4/5 previous managers what then.
    I don't think because I've racked up X amount of years watching City my opinion is any better than a new comer, anyway the best we can hope for with the present set up is A, Hughes gets our season on track, or B, Hughes gets the bullet and the next manager brings us success because the way its looking there wont be no magic bung from Rupp for either manager.

    It didn’t happen! Email or phone you bottled it mate. Now we have Rupp who is in my mind as bad as Edin. Rupp is a joke of an owner and hasn’t taken us seriously at all.

    Hey though even since he fully took over we have gone backwards!

    I’ve not logged on in nearly two years but I’ll say this to make your life quieter. There is no payment, nothing, zero, not a cent or penny. I wouldn’t bother going there, the grief is not worth it, just don’t bother. You don’t want the shit that comes with it, accept there is no payment to Stefan or his businesses and move on. No payments are made.

    People won’t accept it because it doesn’t fit the narrative

    There really is no need for that sort of comment @Fordy117@Fordy117, we'll never know the consequences of the fly bye if it had gone ahead and he had little time to make the call.

    I've no idea why you've gone so far off track. We were discussing the fly over possibly removing the owner and that leading to him withdrawing funding which would lead to the club folding last time I looked.

    At no point did I ever suggest everyone should stop attending.

    That easily remedied, as yourself I don't know but I'd suggest when Julian got in touch with Jon someone (I'd suggest) Stefan Rupp had a serious word in his ear, and as Jon had little time to make the call he thought cancelling the fly bye was the correct thing to do, how's that.

    Forget it Bronco, I think it's clear there's nothing new to say by either of us about the discussion and it's now game time.

    Enjoy the match pal, hopefully it's 3 points :thumbup:

    Both would have gone and the club would be in a better place!

    Under the Rupp the club has failed, is failing and going nowhere.


    You know that for sure, behave, the alternative isn't worth thinking about.

    You bottle it all the time. You welch on simple bets. Call out the club but won't front a revolt that you say is needed. Where are your balls mate? In Sparks hand I think.

    It means let it drop. There is no payment to Rupp. I took a comment on here by someone else, put two and two together, made five and alleged that payments were made. I was wrong. No payments are made.

    I got messages, texts, emails and so on from several anonymous people, and those who aren’t anonymous, which ranged from firm advice to those which were less than friendly, one anonymous contributor in particular crossed a line. Seemingly inoffensive words on here can come back to haunt you. There are people who are on here who might pass your comments on to those who may have an interest. You may relish a solicitor’s letter alleging libel, personally I don’t want one.

    For the avoidance of any doubt, of which there should be none, no payments are made.
