    Think it's time to accept JR is more than just a consultant! it's clear to see he's basically running the club on a day to day basis for Rupp

    You are certainly right in thinking JR is calling the shots.

    Why would Julian be interested in staying on at the club in an advisory capacity if Edin is in the background picking up a good salary for having little input into things, he's got to be on his way out.
    Obviously we don't know the ins and outs of the new investor/investors but it would be a big surprise to me if it was Julian getting involved again as part owner, as I believe Julian and dad were the ones who were the party that wanted to sell the club rather than Mark.
    But I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong.

    Oh you just want to impress Edin.

    Edin's mates in town and want to impress Edin it wouldn't shock me if you stopped the fly over and now making up rubbish about investment.

    This has gone from Jackanory to abuse and hysteria.

    Apologies to @City-since-67@City-since-67.

    No one should get abused for maintaining confidentiality when there is no possible benefit to breaking it.

    The club paid you to not go ahead? It made sure nobody was out of pocket?

    That doesn’t add up though.. Henry was confirmed yesterday but the Flyover supposedly was still on until this afternoon.


    This sounds to me like Rupp & Rahic didn’t want to lose face in the business world, perhaps for future/current business dealings, and were willing to cough up circa £850 to avoid public embarrassment. A wise investment for them.

    I sincerely hope this is not another case of R&Rs bullshit, pulling the wool over all our eyes.

    Not sure what Henry's wages are, but a few weeks ago Hopkin was disgruntled that he was failing to secure somebody's services as wages were a stumbling block.

    Let's just say, I don't think he's cheap.

    But if Hopkin (and in turn City) think he's a player that can help keep us up, he'll be worth every penny.

    In my eyes.

    Until we see the info from this morning, we can't say.

    On the face of it, the club bought our silence.

    Sir, you may well be correct in your version of events. Jon had a very difficult decision to make, one im sure you would agree must have been very challenging.

    I may be well wide of the mark, talking utter nonsense, but the maths don't add up.

    As I said in conversation with @Plastic Bantam@Plastic Bantam , it must have been a very hard call. I am not being critical of yourself or your stance.

    Apologies, if I have inferred otherwise

    Width of a Post are actively reporting that Rahic isn't a factor, I've heard he isn't a factor, yes we do still need official confirmation, whether that's his full departure from the club or his long-term exile, I'm hoping we hear something soon.

    WOAP aren't going to risk their credibility unless they know something, so I'm figuring they know something more concrete than I do.

    They have chosen to let themselves be known, but I did say I wouldn't be the one divulging such information, so for that reason I'm not going to name names.

    I'd like to think I haven't said anything that I said I wouldn't, I'm been very careful even while actually being quite open and honest about it.

    I don't know who is refunding us, I don't know the exact nature of the financial implications, I'm not sure when exactly we'll be refunded, but to recap, I was asked to postpone the flyover base on certain information and I did that only when I knew people would get repaid.

    100% correct in my case Jon. That was never the point of the protest.
    It was a very difficult decision you had to make, I can appreciate the stress you have been put under.

    Even though it didn't happen the intent of it has started stirrings within the club.
    In my opinion it was a very good call Jon.

    Whilst respecting your opinion, the 56 were also very much "56 of our own", and I would prefer my £10 to go the burns unit.

    I get the feeling had it just had Rahic on it all would have been ok

    Any chance of you going behind the scenes? No idea who Paula is? Julian always has my support, but Rahic does not. Rupp has yet to prove he is actually taking part in this club.
