    We can change players
    We can change managers
    We need serious investment and leadership in the boardroom
    Stefan is in Germany and not a lot of interest in football
    A buy out or someone to come in with stefan with real investment and business plan or we are going nowhere
    Season on season we ars served with the same crap on and off the field
    We are in serious danger of going down to conference in next season or two
    Please someone come in and sort this mess out quickly

    I wish as much as you Knaresborougn. Just cannot see it happening anytime soon though.

    The decline of our club since the Germans rocked up in town is alarming.

    Rupp isnt going to sell for a loss though, so I think we are stuck with an owner who has zero interest in us and our city

    If he is still here in 2 years, I think we will have done a Chesterfield, Notts Co etc, a club thinking its too big to go down, suddenly finding itself playing non league football.
    Worrying times.

    Well he ain't selling for a profit Idle.
    He'd be better cutting his losses.

    Therein lies the problem. I dont think anyone would offer what he paid either. So we are in limbo

    A 2nd German with an ego, just what we need eh !

    Allegedly paid £5m. when we were a Top half league one side.
    No idea personally, but would anyone pay for us £2m now ????
    Not a clue
    So potentially a £3m hit, nothing in the grand scheme of things for Rupp, apart from ego

    No they will not, but he will get 1p in the pound if we drop into the conference, as we will lose the stadium and the club. This is in no way the fans fault, if he loses money, he is responsible and no one else.

    Indeed. Unfortunately selling at a loss is less of a business decision than it is an emotional one. Rupp needs to get his business head back on and acknowledge that things will only get worse if he doesn't inject more of his own money into the club ... without any guarantees of a payback. I'm not one who would say we will get relegated further down the pyramid but it will involve more of the owner's money to stop the current rot. And who in their right mind would want to buy a club in the National League without a ground to call its own?

    And then it bcomes a business decision. Once he has moved on from his 'I won't sell my investment unless I make a profit' to the next step of 'I'm willing to sell if I can break even', it may not be much a step for him to take to crystallise his loss and and sell to the highest bidder.

    Step forward somebody with a deep knowledge of the club who might just buy the club back .. so long as it's at a knock down price, Cap'n!

    I’d take Mark Lawn back, not something I’d have said a while back, but at least you know what you get. He needs someone alongside him though, a buffer, and not Captain Admin.

    What difference would it make? He wasn't willing to put cash in either.

    No one does, thats the major issue & please don't anyone mention 'investment'.
    No one 'invests' at our level.
    Just about every club from the championship down losses money and on a grand scale.
    Have recently read Kieran Maguire's book on football finance - Honestly it'll frighten you to death.
    What we're all looking for is someone to spunk a load of cash at us. We thought that golden goose was German.
    We're becoming a basket case, but the worrying thing is , that there are becoming plenty of those .Bury was just the tip of the ice berg

    I know clubs lose money but surely most owners fund that loss.

    Than Captain Admin, obviously. Rupp has no interest, apart from protecting his money.

    Cannot see rhodes wanting rupp to sell back to Lawn somehow.

    With the glaring lack of infrastructure at the club cannot see rhodes wanting to buy back cheap and having to spend to rectify mistakes made by selling to the german duo.
