    There's a lot worse owners out there for example ones who bankrupt the club and lose our ground.Hes gives us decent budget and doesn't interfere.Also he can't sell us because no one in their right mind would buy us.Tbf not sacking Sparks is his fault though.

    I seem to remember that Mark Lawn said that they'd done a due dilligence test on Rahic and Rupp.
    Oh yes, money well spent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Rupp was duped into buying the club,he then had to remove Rahic i know football.
    Guided by captain admin Rhodes , he offered the job of CEO to Sparks, who must have thought all his Christmases had come at once,Who would not have taken the job, he is completely out of his depth in all matters football, he appointed Gent , who is the worst head of recruitment guy possible. It appears Rupp is here until ? He needs to remove these two immediately and let two new guys get their feet under the table for next season.
    That should be the bare minimum to start with.

    There is no defence of Rupp. He is ultimately responsible for everything that has happened since he took over. I only hope he's here to sack Sparks or sell up. He's probably on his way home, pleased, that at least he saw some goals.

    Correct ,Rupp is to blame for who he has trusted to run the club . Hopefully they will be gone soon.

    We all want Sparks gone but some people seem to be suffering from some delusion that there's a queue of people desperate to buy us.

    Not a queue but there are definitely parties interested in purchasing the club. Some will say these parties should either put up or shut up but then no one in their right mind would put up for completely unrealistic valuation.

    We should be pressuring Rupp not to sell but buy the ground back it is the key to our future.The asking price would be lowest now.If we went out of the league Gibbs pension fund cashcow would be gone.Without ownership of our ground we won't attract a decent owner and if we get promoted the rent will go up.

    Rupp is 100% to blame for the whole of the sh1t show we're currently witnessing, purely because he allowed himself to get duped into an investment he neither had no interest in nor knew anything about.

    The fact I don't know where he lives and I don't have his mobile no is stopping me.Thats the idea of putting our views on here.

    I agree with this in that the lease is due for renewal in 3 years, Valley Parade and the land it sits on is not worth shit without a football club to play there.
    So, Rupp or anyone else should negotiate hard and not just threaten to leave, but actually leave.
    Let Valley Parade sit empty for a few seasons like Coventry did to their landlords and watch Gibb come back begging with a substantial lowering of rent or an offer to sell it back to the club.

    Was he to blame for Billy Clark missing that sitter at Wembley or the linesman not putting his flag up for Millwall’s goal?
    Was he to blame the following season when players downed tools?
    Was he to blame for our relegation when we had probably one of the biggest budgets in league 1 with players such like Jack Payne, Lewis O’Brien, Eoin Doyle, Sean Scannell etc.?
    Was he to blame for the 2 Covid seasons?

    We can only blame Rupp for the appointment of Sparks as CEO and allowing him this long in the job.
    Maybe he’s over here to sort that out on Monday. I can’t think of any other reason he’d be here when he’s been absent all season.
