    Possibly left field but how about Rupp has had a word, told Rahic to get rid of Collins, appoint Hopkin and let him do the job, while also telling Rahic he is next out of the door if he doesn't stick to non-football matters.
    You don't get rich in business by being stupid.

    I'd like to think you are right.

    Explain Donald Trump then.

    Rupp wouldn't have a clue who David Hopkin is, however he might well be behind getting rid of Collins and getting someone with a bit more experience and actually knows what he's doing in.

    Got me there Stafford! Actually not sure he's an idiot but certain he's not very presidential (discussion for a different day and place though).

    He is a total **** probably a very dodgy business man and ‘avoided’ going to Vietnam, But Hey he is an effective business man! So like Turkeys voting for both Thanksgiving Day and Christmas, a lot of people who can put him in power elected him.

    I may be wide of the mark but I just can't see Hopkin agreeing to come under the terms that were insisted on by Rahic back in the summer.
    That would suggest that he has more control than was on offer.
    With Rahic's track record, it could be further deduced that pressure has been brought to bear. There's only one man that has the power to apply that pressure.

    As to Trump, I read that he would be much richer if he'd just put his daddy's money in the bank and left it there. So not such a good businessman. Still seems we might have another ginger Scot (well Trump's half Scottish), worked well last time.

    The squad we now have will be far more appealing than in the one in June. I honestly think it is one of many that is only bettered by Sunderland and Barnsley's. But like ten or so others, we could end up anywhere from 3rd to 15th - how we do depends on the ability of the manager, to get the best out of the team

    Donald Trump was given inheritance! And LOST MORE MONEY in his businesses than he was given!
    This is a fact look it up

    It is a massive myth that he is a succesful busienss man, the saudis have bailed him several times

    If he had put all the money he inherited in the bank he would have more money now than he currently has with all his failed businesses.

    Anyway back to football, i would like to this rupp has reigned edin in, because collins may have gone, but if this same interfering continues with someone else we will be back to square one..

    If it was Rupp behind the decision, how many more mistakes will he allow Rahic to make?

    If only Rahic listened to footballing people in the first place we wouldn’t have -

    1) Wasted money on Development players simply nowhere near good enough.
    2) Wasted money paying off McCall and losing Black.
    3) Lost 5k season ticket holders.
    4) Promoted Collins as first team head coach.
    5) Brought across German players who wouldn’t make Park Avenues bench.
    6) Lost James Mason.
    7) Lost Phil Parkinson.
    8) Lost the chance to push on after Wembley.
    9) Alienated the fans.
    10) Gone from being the ground with one of the best atmospheres to one of anger and toxicity.

    The list goes on.

    If he lost more money than he was given you could say he has also made more money as he lost a loss too

    Trump has bankrupted three businesses. His dad made the billions, him and his leech family live off it!. The main Trump business is run by professionals whilst money in the bank and rental income sustains the family and their lifestyle.



    He is one first class disgusting individual !

    Not necessarily true if the reports that they met him as an option during the summer are to be believed.

    Quite possibly Rupp could have said 'stop this nonsense and get that chap in we met twice to do it properly'

    I'm sick of second guessing. We've become a circus, and between them they're playing the role of clown and ringmaster.

    Maybe. But for me, it's a little bit like the God delusion. A sense of need driving a belief that there is a benevolent power pulling the strings where it really matters. I can't see it.

    Bit deep for a Tuesday morning tbf...
