    Another one to look out for is Josh Emmanuel , high quality right back -far too good for league 2 but joined us until the end of the season because he had some serious health problems previously ,expect him to go back up to league 1/ champ next season

    To be fair to Rupp, he apparently had had no dealings with Rahic before the joint purchase venture and they did not know each other.

    As I understand the story, Rahic was looking for a business partner with significant funds. They apparently were both customers of the same Private bank in Germany. Rahic informed the bank and they put him in touch with Rupp. Rahic apparently convinced him to invest.

    Rupp agreed (did he or his Accountants do due diligence with Rahic), the rest is history.

    Ok, so as i said , not a football man and he just saw us as a business opportunity.
    I think he is quite honourable though, many would have cut their losses and run for the hills, unless he is playing the long game in the hope of major success and an increase in the clubs value.
    How many games has he attended this year. If i had his wealth, i would be there at least every Saturday home game.

    Another tricky game on Saturday and another cup final for our opponents. We need to replicate the intensity of the 2nd half from the Carlisle game, get on the front foot and don't give them any chance to gain momentum.

    With7 wins from 19 starts at home it’s impossible to be optimistic for this one. A low scoring draw is the likely outcome. Probably with 70% possession

    I suspect it will be the same old home story with a packed away end celebrating at the final whistle. Hope I’m totally wrong but walked away disappointed at too many home games in the last few years.Not sure when we last won at home with a packed away end including the TL Dallas stand.

    This Saturday , i hope, please , pretty please. We are long overdue a decent home performance and according to Mr Hughes, the lads are smashing it in training. Not that its worth anything, no points gained for training LOL.

    I would add, Zero shots on goal, away team using ‘dark arts’, late mystifying substitutions, angry supporters shouting pointless abuse, and……….No Hot Water in the Toilets!;)

    Grimsby Rovers? Do they play against Scunthorpe Athletic usually?


    Edited: not sure why it said United originally.
