    That would involve him actually having to do something

    Because Rupp has clearly put things in place for positive change. Also without him the club would suffer financially

    This thread is about the refund of the money and where it should be used.

    nah, we like odd Iron's.

    though if you could kidnap Josh and Reece and bring them with you we'd like that a lot.

    Remember the posts about yourself and Wilsden bantams?

    I'm really not too sure you can be calling for people to grow up after some of your responses.

    It's probably why people also still like a cheeky dig. It's a bit like shooting fish in a barrel.

    Darby fund for my tenner. Thanks for organising, and even if it didn't go ahead, I think the idea got noticed in the right places, and perhaps it was the mouse that broke the camels back.
    Happy to jump on board with another initiative if things go tits up again!

    I don't meant to butt in, but I feel that if Bingley Bantams, Park and Banbrotam could just all get together and agree to admit they backed the wrong horse I feel it'd go a long way to getting them a bit more respect on these boards than continuing to argue the indefensible.

    Agree with a lot you say. I think they should have ‘backed’ Stuart, rather than sacked him, but no individual, including Stuart is beyond the health of our club!
    However in respect of Edin, do you think he may well have behaved towards you in a ‘decent’ bloke manner because:- (a) you did not challenge his views, (b) you were not a competitor, (c) you were a customer and (d) because you were independent of him he could not intimidate you (unlike an employee).
    Is that balanced enough for you?

    That just about puts it in a nutshell mate, a thoroughly decent bloke, who took on something he had no previously experience in and once he got that position was very reluctant to listen to others who were getting paid to do their job and others who had the experience and offered it were ignored.

    well, given its gone public about Rahic leaving, I'd expect to hear something on that score officially, fairly soon.

    aslong as he does indeed leave, and no longer holds shares in the club then my contribution can go to Stephen Darby's MND charity.

    I think it should be held back, possibly until the end of season to see where we are. Hopefully Rahic will be long gone. At that point I am happy for my contribution to split between the two charities.

    If it'd had been this time last year, I'd have said lets set up a Bitcoin account, and we can buy a new player for the club in January off the earnings :) But that train has gone.
    Why not use it to buy Edin and his wife a really nice bouquet of flowers - thanks and no hard feelings written on the card?

    Joking aside. I'd be happy to send it to the burns unit, or SD's charity. As the burns unit is generally on everyones radar, I personally think donating to Darbys charity might have a bigger impact in raising recognition for the disease.

    100% this job isn't done yet.

    Nothing official has come out of the club and he is still a sure holder.

    For me also Rupp hasn't proved his worth and if no developments over the next two weeks the Edin and Rupp out should remain!

    If @JonButterfield@JonButterfield you want me to take over this I will because let me tell you @City-since-67@City-since-67 or even the club wouldn't stop me from doing it.

    This is business. We all love the club but it's vital that they understand we won't put up this the rubbish or owners have provided.

    The flyover has to happen if nothing changes soon! Has too!

    You go on about not letting people bully Jon, yet you're doing exactly the same thing just from a different angle

    Mate, there's always work to do and we'll need a new director of football, general manager, PR guru, owner, knower of football....

    So, as you've stuck your head above the parapet....

    Viva la Butterfield revolution! :p

    How am I?

    Nothing is a fact until it comes officially from the club.

    All I am saying is lessons need to be learnt from last time and unless the club puts things on the official website then don't believe what you're told or hear.

    So until the club state Edin is leaving, sold his shares then don't believe it.

    Bet many on here want too or think about leaving their jobs but still go into work. We need to drive him out though in a well mannered way and a flyover does no harm.

    The thought of @Silverbantam@Silverbantam hiding behind the hedgerows in Dover snapping a pic as he walks on the P&O ferry pulling his wheelie case just to provide you with the evidence of "having left these shores"!!! :laughing::joy:
