    Sparks get out of our club NOW
    You are as much as responsible of this mess as Rupp
    Get out of our club NOW

    They allow the manager to play Jake Young and miss out on a guaranteed eight figure transfer fee from Madrid or Munich and yet fans want them out, truly bizarre.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned flying a big f off banner behind a plane in a key location in the states when having a cleverly worded message to get the right type of attention

    $$$$$$

    Do it!!

    Yes, I've said it many times that if our aim is to become an established Championship club, it will require either a substantial change in the mindsets of the leadership at VP or a fundamental change in the financial regime within EFL football. I really don't see either of those happening in the immediate future.

    In the meantime, no doubt there'll be more suggestions that fans should club together to buy the club and/or the ground 'cos it makes good sense. Unfortunately, I've yet to see any of those proposals referring to how the £10mill or £20mill annual loss in the Championship would be financed!

    Read/ heard a news item recently (can't remember exactly where) about Middlesborough FC increasing ST prices by 6% making the cheapest Adult ticket over £500 (most appear well over £600). I guess that's roughly what we would be paying if in the Championship.

    But the real interesting part was the alleged fact that another CC club had worked out that despite ticket price increases, and because of increasing costs generally it would cheaper for the Club to pay each fan £10 to stay away each week and have an empty ground. Maybe an extreme example but if true, another example of the revenue required the further you go up the pyramid, and that ST revenue becomes relatively less important.

    Not sure which of the many threads to post this into, but here goes....what would be your thoughts if they chose City? Good thing? Bad thing? A Wrexham/Salford-type circus you would rather not be a part of?

    First thing to change under ANY new ownership would be the price of season tickets ...
