Yes @butters I'd love Phil Parkinson back .

 

Bronco.
Now is the time to really get behind Hopkin.
Ive been in contact with half a dozen folk this evening , who now are thinking of going down to Plymouth, That is the Rahic effect now coming to a conclusion.
With 3 home games thereafter (1 cup & 2 league).
\hopefully we can seize this upturn especially the relief from the majority of supporters and the players can get back to winning ways

 

Yes I know but I'd still love Parky back, and no I'm not going to Plymouth Edin or no f*****g Edin .

 

For the record neither am I

 

Just trying to make me feel bad eh

 

Spot on

 

Wasn't it Rupp who spoke about the "club within a club" in that DVD?

 

Or do a documentary called matter of farce

 

No,that was Rahic.He wanted all the limelight then a dark corner to hide in.

 

Yes it was Rupp

 

I'll have to watch it again....

 

Rupp quotes it whilst he's driving to the ground in his car.

 

That's the right term Bronco. "Quoted". Yes,Rupp was repeating what he'd been told. When you think about it he'd been duped and that's no doubt why he said what he did after Rahic had gone.

I am hopeful Rupp will be true to his word,at least in the short term,and if he wants to sell later,help us find the right buyer.

 

Yes, think you might Old Man. I have corrected this before on here but once again for the sake of attempted clarity.
It was Stefan who coined the phrase "..."Company within a Company.." in 'Matter of Heart'. He did not 'quote' it as Broncs says, he actually said it, it was not therefor something he had been told it was something he had found for himself, along with Edin and I believe he chose his words carefully.
The reason I say this is there is a big difference between "..a Club within a Club.." and what was actually said. The Club statement implies something along the lines of a clique or group of people who don't necessarily fall in with the rest, they are apart for whatever reason.
The "..Company.." statement, however is a whole different matter. Company implies a business venture when it is phrased around another business (the Football Club) in this instance. The Football Club is a financial entity so therefore the "Company" within it clearly has some financial implication. Hope that helps without spelling it out anymore.
My explanation is why I totally agree with Mike Hunt and his post above, best people needed.

 

Said it, quoted it, all the same to me @wetherbywhaler just pointing out it was Stefan rather than Edin.
Edin who the f**k is Edin.

 

What sticks out to me, it seems the point Roger is making is that regardless of who said it, the issue was something more than merely a "club within a club"

 

So,you can't quote my name right but we'll leave that for now.

Quoted,coined,said, all much the same.However,if your status is closer to the club than most then I assume Stefan told you that he had found this out for himself by seeing proof ?

You say he found out for himself "along with Edin" which could easily be construed as Edin telling Stefan?

My take on the original OP message was that it could be construed that Stefan had agreed with Edin and his post Rahic departure implied he didn't. It's important that as our sole owner he should be given every chance to turn things round with Julians expertise and put this sorry mess behind us.

 

Are you suggesting if these "club within a club" people had not been dipping their fingers into the pot, we wouldn't have needed a Cup run every season to cover the deficit .

 

I have no idea although I doubt it could have been anything on that scale, or even if it was indeed any financial shenanigans. I would imagine WW probably knows full well, or at least could have an educated guess, at what went on, but it is understandably unwise or inappropriate to discuss it.

 

Strange how Edin/Stefan realised what was happening with in a few months of being at the club, makes you wonder how long it had been going on.
