Has he jumped or was he pushed

As did John Moores Junior, his dad Sir John urged his sons to ensure that if and when the shares were sold, the new owner would be devoted to the club and a “safe pair of hands.
Peter Johnson gained control of the club in the summer of 1994, this guy was a Liverpool fan who owned Tranmere Rovers, as he could not have a majority shareholding in two club his partner Lorraine Rogers took control of Tranmere.
Prior to Bill Shankly becoming the Liverpool manager Everton were the bigger club on Merseyside I believe.

 

As proved by Walsall on Saturday.
Simple fact is, our team is so bad across the board, that DH gave up hope.

 

World of difference between CFO of Bosch and Finance and Controlling at the Dutch business of Bosch Rexroth, and I as understood, more of an SAP specialist than accountant. Assistant to the FD was mentioned. I emailed all the background I could find, similar to yours and based on public information and less public information from German and Dutch contacts to two journalists in September last year. Neither did anything.

 

Bosch Rexroth BV, the Dutch part of a company owned by Robert Bosch. Assistant to the FD or Financial Controller depending on who answers the question.

 

I don't think you'd need to be that good

 

Somebody that should not have been able to pull the wool over Rupp's eyes so easily and for so long IMO

 

Rupp was the money man, Edin effectively borrowed from him. Edin was the only one communicating with Stefan so it was easy for Rahic to spin the story. A lot of the shit Edin said was for Stefan’s ears to hide the bad job he was doing. It took three City fans, at least two of whom post on here to go to Germany and speak to Stefan to make him aware. In my opinion it wasn’t WOTP but those three who deserve the credit.

 

***WINNER***

Thank goodness Stefan listened............................

 

I think the fact that he had to keep topping the bank account up might have set the alarm bells ringing. Probably a combination of factors came together and a shaft of light appeared over in Germany.

 

Agree Mike. However, taking the exclusive word of an acquaintance (as I am led to believe they were) who has no history with Rupp and is therefore a bit of an unknown quantity is not a prudent course of a action with a significant amount of his money on the line.

I know it's easy with hindsight but an experienced man like Rupp should not have had to rely on a deputation from City fans travelling to see him, after much damage had been wrought, to understand that Rahic was disastrous.

 

An idiot?

 

Agreed. It beggars belief that a successful, wealthy, multi-millionaire would be so stupid.

 

Rupp sent a delegation into city did he not @wetherbywhaler some time ago

Either everyone towed edins line or he ignored his findings

 

Can you explain a little more? A delegation?

 

A business colleague as far as i remember

 

So what you saying mate?

 

Thats exactly what it was, this bullshit about selling to fit and proper persons, give me a break. Fact is Rhodes amd Lawn couldn’t believe their luck when some halfwit came along willing to pay that sort of money for something with no real assets so to speak. Not that it bothers me in any way, i thought they pulled off a right number selling it for whay they did. Lets not kid ourselves it was in the interests of the club, it was in thier interests.

 

He was watching his old side the other night

 

Looks like he was reminiscing with some of his old buddies, I believe he'd just quoted, "Rahic knows football", or maybe thank goodness I'm away from that basket case of a club.
