We need the likes of Die Zeit being made aware they might send someone over to do a follow up on the original article, and maybe get the owners take on how it came to this after the first 16/17 months of their tenure when we had been in the top 6 for the majority of that time.
We need as much media exposure as possible even given some apathy that its old hat.

 

Just a thought... has the Portsmouth game been confirmed? With it been Saturday 3rd, alot of people will surely be doing their bonfire celebrations that night, so depending on the time of the flyover, and with the darkness falling at around 4 o clock, the plane company might have to factor in health and safety issues with regards to fireworks? They don't fly at a high enough altitude to be fully clear of these, just a thought?

 

I think we should, that way everyone gets their say, but we must abide by the whatever comes top. However, we might not have time.

 

I agree can everything be done before the Portsmouth game just 7 days away.

 

Brilliant Dave, hope that it can be done.

 

Is this gonna happen as close to kick off as
Possible?

As someone has posted will get dark a lot sooner over the next few weeks. If we miss Pompey game for any reason it needs to be seen

 

I thought the wording on the banner had already been agreed?

 

Will there be anyone watching ?.

 

Any chance we can get 2 planes?????

 

We need more than planes now

 

Get the engine fired up

 

We updated our statement yesterday. Rahic has to go. Rupp either has to
A) appoint someone who knows what they’re doing or
B)relocate completely
Failing these, sell up.
I personally believe that B) is unlikely due to his other business interests.

 

Tentative weather forecast for next Saturday is actually quite similar to this week. Warmer air clearing away with a weather front that brings colder NW winds and showers. It could be grey/dark if the front has not gone through yet but looks slightly more likely to be into the colder, clearer showery side. There looks to be about a 40% chance of it being very windy, which is something to watch out for.

 

Over the last few days, I have engaged with customers who frequent my work place. Around about 20 in total ranging from young adults to senior citizens...

With an angle on my part, I have discussed some of the idealogy around flyovers, billboard protest, flyers, boycotting of games et al. Call it what you wish and I have to appreciate the feedback but there is little wish, demand and support for such activities. In fact only 3 have genuinely agreed in such thinking...

Maybe my rhetoric has put others off when engaging in discussion? Maybe apathy? Maybe some don't care as it is just a Saturday afternoon recreational activity? Maybe some don't want to say what side of the fence that they sit on?

What I do feel is that getting 'support' for such matters as described above may be a considerable task and that maybe the minority on BT and CA whom call for such action need to be considerate of our supporter base.

 

Never suggested such. I'm trying to just outline the feedback from others of getting them potentially on board.

I was actually trying to gain support for the protests.

 

i remember listening to simon jordan on talksport a few months ago discussing the ownership of arsenal and the seemingly takeover than was happening there. i can't quite remember the figures but i'm sure he said something along the lines of:

"if one major shareholder owns 80%+ (it may have been less) then they can force the sale of the other 20% and take complete 100% ownership of the club if they so wish."

so chaps, as the current ownership is a partnership and mr rahic isn't employed by mr rump and therefore he can't be sacked - you may not need someone to buy mr rahic's 20% share or indeed the whole club from both of the current owners. you may just need to convince mr rupp to sell his share and then due to regulations inplace they can force a takeover of the final 100% or even offer 20% fan ownership. this is why it may not be a good idea to get mr rupp's 'back-up' and annoy him by demanded he moves the the UK or leave the club.

as posted earlier, you may need to arrange a meeting with him on his own to convince him that the selling of his shares would be beneficial for him. remember, you catch more flies with honey.

 

I'm a little confused you say if the 80% share holder wants he can force the sale of the 20% share holder, sureley the same situation aplies with our owners, the majority share holder makes the decisions/has casting vote because he's the biggest share owner.

In this case Rupp has made a very poor decision buy allowing Rahic to get our club into the situation its in with the decisions he's made with our without Rupp's say so, if Rupp gave his backing he's just as guilty for the state of our club ?.
