Stefan Rupp - An Open Letter

Just use your phone. more portable

 

I noticed there is an article about us and an absent owner in the daily mail just now. No idea what is says as you have to be a subscriber, but it is something about us in the national press, so word is getting out there.

Some excerpts:
"Managers still come and go with remarkable regularity. There is a skeleton board and most of the control lies with Ryan Sparks, an inexperienced chief executive promoted from a role within the media department.

The irony is communication reached an all-time low with Sparks in charge.

Hundreds of fans joined forces to tackle the culture of silence and wrote to Rupp. They bundled up the letters and shipped the package off to his business address in Bavaria only to find it returned with a note to say not wanted by the recipient."

Another excerpt

"Crowds appear to have held up at a glance, although official figures are bolstered by 15,000 season-ticket holders and do not chime with the swathes of empty seating in evidence at recent games.

Fearing the dangerous onset of apathy, sections of the disgruntled fanbase set to organising a protest, and Rupp tried to head it off with an open letter.

'Not good enough' and 'hugely disappointing,' he conceded. He vowed to do better, to bring in more expertise and address ongoing problems. He also apologised for his personal absence and the remote nature of his ownership style.

It was the full bingo card of contrition. Rupp also reiterated he would consider offers from potential buyers, although is thought to want back the £10million he paid, a price that seems unrealistic since the club has been so badly damaged since."

With the seat you sit in up for grabs by beginning of next week.I would have thought we might get some news by the club on possible changes that Rupp was mentioning in the letter to the fans,maybe a new DOF ?
