Most liked posts in thread: BCST meeting with Edin

I suppose the key point is that we have an admission that the FA cup defeat had a material impact on the transfer window last January, which throws into question the preparation for the January window. Who knows, had we beaten Yeovil the ball picker might have picked out Reading away which would have pretty much left us scratching around for players.

It also all but confirms that Edin Rahic threw a hissy fit about missing out on a potential windfall. This hissy fit obviously caused major problems in the club...McCall not supported and leaving, players wanting to leave and the general decline of our club.

 

Have to disagree that we would definitely have drawn Man U. The same number ball or not had we won lots of football related things and beyond would now be different.
We may have still got the same draw but maybe not, if Edin thinks losing to Yeovil meant we lost out on playing Man U he is wrong, we missed out on the chance of a big tie in round 3.

 

You do know there's a difference between funny sarcasm and pointless sarcasm?

 

Come on Roger, we give three points away once or twice a week without breaking sweat. We're not all tight Yorkshire gets you know

 

Eh you, I voted for the brass to be spent on players don't try to lay the blame at this 25year season ticket holder .

Both owners knew that there was a rent review periodically, I think every 5 years so someone didn't to their due diligence very well.
I think the latest rise was June/July and was around the £5k mark.

 

Absolutely Yen, that is my understanding hence my outrage and asking if it was legal and apparently it is. I would expect them to receive dividends as and when we have a profit, so they would eventually get it back.

However, this paying a loan back out of the working capital is something I don’t agree with, and like you point out, we the fans and sponsors are basically buying the club for them, meanwhile our team is sub standard.

Plus approx 12% interest of course.

 

So should we be asking Mr Rhodes why he sold the club given these arrangements as it it puts us at a disadvantage - especially with no other investment been forthcomimg to strengthen by adding further quality to the team Stuart Mccall inherited.

 

If this is true, and I'm coming to believe it is, these two crooks aren't getting a penny more from me. I've said before that to hurt the owners and get them to go we have to hurt the club and ourselves. But it has to be done. We might then have a club to rescue at the end of it all. If we don't act now I can genuinely see us going out of the league, and maybe out of existence.

 

Perhaps Valter Mitty convinced Julian that he did in fact know football. And when he got us into the Championship, with a squad full of 21year old superstars. This 5th richest league in the world would more than pay off this 'Loan' !!

 

Agree, I didn't renew, don't regret it and now have no intention of doing so again under these owners.

However, we won't go out of existence, Halifax didn't, Aldershot didn't, Darlington didn't and Spanish clubs go "pop" all the time before a pheonix is ready for the next season. They need to fear losing the club, not the fans.

 

No idea what took place during negotiations, but also a rumour that they paid Lawn and Rhodes via instalments. If that is true, no money has actually been paid by either Rahic or Rupp, who knows, but not another penny of our family money is going anywhere near until I have actually heard from both owners exactly what money has left their collective bank accounts to pay for the club. If they have paid by instalments why the 12%, unless Lawn and Rhodes insisted on interest?

Furthermore I trust our accountants on here to examine what has been said and checked it out.

 

I believe the rent is increased every three years (might be five) according to a predetermined formula which has nothing to do with league position.

In comparison to other grounds, I understand independent analysis has shown City gets a reasonable/pretty good deal.

In terms of football income by division vs rent, the cost of VP looks something like this ...

Premier League = Peanuts
Championship = Cheap
League One = Affordable
League Two = Expensive

 

Can't believe it. I clapped the team off at half time, I didn't moan once and I didn't leave until the 4th went in.............and we still lost.

Edin really doesn't know football.

 

Becoming an irrelevance....?

 

Hogwash , what a waste of 3 mins reading that total ballcocks .

 

No it's the fans fault for not getting behind the team. Apparently.

 

3 mins your wife must have read it to you ........

 

I'm not suggesting that anyone starts shouting abuse.

Jeremy Paxman was not abusive but he often got answers to awkward questions.

They have done themselves and all of us a huge diservice by meekly failing to extract one single meaningful answer.

A complete waste of an evening and more importantly, an opportunity to start to repair damage lost.

 

There's no way Blackpool would have got promoted from L2 if the input of fans actually affected results.

Abysmal excuses.

Embarrassing, but what do you expect?
