    Means we are skint.
    Out of interest are we ever going to hear from Rupp on this seasons events and what his plans are now or are we just accepting the fact hes not arsed and we are going to just sit back and see what happens.

    Sorry - But I don't share that, Ricc !!

    I would hate to think I'd endorse the banning of anyone.
    We all have opinions, and a style of writing. Because one or both goes against the grain of some, it's no foundation to BAN them, or wish it to happen. That incites bullying, does it not ? :(

    There is a difference between being absolutely broke and on the verge of admin, and trying to be self sufficient.

    Either way, though, we need a full coaching team, so I am definitely expecting some news on this in the next couple of weeks.

    I'd like to get an idea if it's Todds circumstances or the clubs and it would clear it up. I'm leaning towards it's the clubs, if it was Todds circumstances you'd have thought GB would have just said that.

    I really want to get that feeling back of supporting City and none of the consistent inquests of the Rahic era but incidents like this make it hard for it go away.

    if we can't afford to have an assistant manager than the future is bleak. Rupp has caused all this with his boyfriend Edin. Sort it out Stefan or fk off.

    And then we are back to if he Fk off how does that help? There has never been a massive queue of people wanting to buy the club

    Maybe we just can’t afford this one and will be getting a “cheap” option?

    Or it’s Drury as we said yesterday and we are stuck with him

    Not at all. Until it's confirmed, I'll remain open minded.

    Possibly Todd felt his services were deserving a higher level of football, and so farewell ?
    Perhaps, also - Bowyer may know of 'someone' who could do both the Todd and McElone roles ?
    OR - Does Bowyer want a complete overhaul of both players and coaching staff ?
    So many possibilities out there ............

    Allegedly For free or very cheap. As I said not a massive queue of people wanting to buy it at a price the owner is willing to sell.

    The previous owners were allegedly touting the club around for a number of years, pre L1 included, and the £5m price tag never really fluctuated which is why it took so long

    What a totally pathetic and embarrassing situation. Rupp is a part of why we're in league two, he should be giving bowyer everything he asks for yet instead we're getting rid of his trusted number 2 because of "circumstances".

    I'm fully expecting to see Maik Taylor out the door soon and for us to have yet another pre season of no fitness and a season of keepers training themselves. What a joke.

    OK, so you have a point or two. And ? It could have been delivered without the personal insults to Stefan Rupp.
    And some folk wonder why BCAFC executives don't engage with supporters ? Jeeesus !!

    @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler warned us a few weeks ago that it could take up to five years to get back on an even keel financially. We get relegated lose 2 million and people are shocked that an out of contract coach is let go. Sadly I imagine other hard working staff may lose their jobs in the near future. It’s very sad but when you get relegated and lose 2 million cost cutting is what usually happens. Look at McCalls first spell after relegation and the players we signed that summer, not exactly players who live long in the memory.

    I'm not shocked or appalled, but a full coaching squad is vital and regardless of where money might be saved elsewhere, I fully expect a few coming in in the coming weeks.

    Hold your damn runaway horses fast !!

    We're only on the 10th May, yet you post as if we're on the 10th June.
    Relegation is still hurting, and the waters remain clouded, for now. Let nature take it's course, OK ? ;)

    Honest question. Was Andy Todd his trusted number 2? I thought he had some else as his number 2 previously.
