So we have people in the know again! But none of these people that are in the know, won't say f##k all AGAIN!

PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

Let's have some truths....

 

The club is in a serious mess simply being bottom of the table and looking at a significant drop in attendances.

I don't know if Mason means it's even MORE serious than that, maybe he does - but it's already very bad.

 

The problem with threads like this is you always get some sad entity who reads it and then takes to Twitter saying '''I am hearing" we're going into admin.

I am hearing... I'd ban that phrase if I could. You're hearing what exactly, you mean you've read some online rumours based on pure speculation like the rest of us and now want to make out like you're the font of all knowledge.

I don't have a problem with people mentioning snippets of things they've been told but bear in mind that some of our 'fans' are too stupid to take it on board in a mature and logical way. Bit of mass hysteria anyone?

 

I personally would take massive throbber as a huge compliment.

 

Stop moaning as Park and his minions have said, nothing to worry about we are only bottom because of lack of luck and our useless fans not clapping the rubbish, erm sorry I mean team until our hands drop off. It doesn’t matter how crap the club is run fans should never criticise, nor demand for competent owners.

 

ummmm, serious because we are at the bottom of the table, lost 6 on the trot, and don't look like winning a game this year maybe?

 

Of course he isn’t. Ridiculous to say he is just stirring. He is a City fan through and through regardless of where he works.

 

I’m not so sure that Rupp was as up to date with what’s going on as he perhaps couls have been. He’s not a company director and would have been relying on Edin for updates. I understand he’s not got a history with Edin, he’s just the money man who funded Edin’s dream. I’m not ITK on a lot of things but piecing things together something has happened in the last few weeks for him to step up his interest, Edin marginalised, Julian in, rumours of financial issues and allegations of other off the field shenanigans, dreadful results, Hopkins allegedly coming very close to walking after the Gillingham defeat. I’d place money on Edin not seeing out 2018 in his role, certainly won’t see the start of the next season, no information just a feeling.

If Rupp walks away with a huge loss, then City have lost, the two are intrinsically linked. City do well, the club’s value rises, we fail, he loses money.

 

I am certain this is a genuine comment from JM and one we cannot ignore. It seems to me we really do now have 2 choices 1) get behind JR, DH and the players as best we can or 2) continue to ramp up the pressure on SR and ER - I just dont think it is going to be in our best interests or possible to do both.
I still desperately want ER out of the club as soon as possible but if we are being honest it is going to take some time for all the things we want to happen to actually occur - and even then we are going to have to accept a framework that has lots of loose ends to tie up.
I have been told morale and the mood at the club has lifted with the return of JR and there is a feeling of fresh hope - but there is a mountain to be climbed to get us back on track.
So I think option 1) has to be the way forward - for our chances of saving the season. I would far rather we fight this battle in a positive environment rather than one of mass negativity but dont get me wrong, if I see Rahic I would still bluntly tell him he has no place at our club as he has been the worst thing to happen to us in my time of supporting City (obvious events excluded).
So I will be cheering the team on at Aldershot on Saturday and trying get a mindset that what we have to do starts here - we cant change the abysmal first few months of the season but it doesn't have to define what happens during the remaining course of 18/19. I know the odds are stacked against us but I have had enough of feeling s..t about my club, so time for a change of attitude from me (and for gods sake, please dont say I am becoming a happy clapper! )

 

At each turn it’s feeling more serious. The corporate box early payments are ringing alarm bells for me. The long ‘holiday’ back in Germany and the lack of desire or urgency to return to back the manager and communicate with the fans does n’t feel right. Would n’t be a shock for me if they are searching for a way out with as much as they can take. Does anyone really believe they would pump in money to keep us going whilst we sink and then float in League Two never mind invest further to get us back out. They’ve screwed themselves (and us) big time. If not then come out now and tell us.

 

My own view ( i've already made my feelings clear ) ,If we go down with the current board and team the season tickets will not finnance the club , i see and admin coming up, and also can foresee the club folding . Drastic ? , yes it is, but the damage inflicted by Rahic and Rupp has destroyed the core of this club .
On social media various forums the rumours and ITK correspondents are all spouting this is what i've heard / know , the silence from the club is deafening , for the owners and others saying it's the fans etc that are the prime cause of the situation is quite frankly disgraceful . If the owners are serious about their ambions and visions fine tell the fans , and if rumours of money problems again be honest and up front with the fans .
You only have to look at the conference and see teams that not long ago were members of the EFL and are know struggling in that league on meager crowds . That could well be us in 2 seasons thats how bad i feel it is , i can remeber years ago attending matches at VP and BPA when fans walked round the pitch at HT holding blankets for fans to throw money in to pay the players wages .
Dont for 1 minute think we are too big to fall out of the EFL , i would hope that someone high up in the club would come out a say what the problems are at VP and either confirm or deny the current situation , it does the club nor our fan base any good with the constent finger pointing and blame culture that has accelerated over the last 6 months .

 

Why do people care so much who Edin has tea with? Ffs.

Is it because you haven’t been invited?

 

Unfortunately some will say he's mischief making, those who know James Mason will know better, if he says it's serious it will be, just as @Onside87, @Lard Arse and others have alluded to.

 

I think it’s only a matter of time before Rahic goes. He can’t come back from this surely and, if there is any hint of truth in the various allegations circulating, he has to go. I think more will come out over the next few weeks about the state of the club behind the scenes. I don’t believe Mason is shit stirring, and relegation would be a problem.

What would help enormously is a statement on that Julian’s role is, how long he’s in the building for., what Edin’s new role is and what his exit plan is, there can be no doubt he’s on borrowed time at VP. Do that and a lot of the mistrust will start to recede.

The rest of this season could shape City for the next five years or more, relegation and it’s a long long way back in my opinion.

 

Not sure why people are looking for hidden meaning.

We're the worst team in the country this year. And the years nearly up. Statistically, were absolutely nailed on for relegation. We've had 5 managers inside 11 months. The local and national press has repeatedly criticised how things are being run. Attendances dropping like a stone and fans organising flyovers.

Isn't that 'bad enough'?

 

Snap. I am lost and I cannot be bothered trawling back.

I think the general summary is that Edin is still a c**t and the sooner he leaves the football club, the better.

 

It is very serious behind the scenes let's just say he told a few people at the Rochdale game quite a few home truths about the club and things aren't rosy on alot of fronts and no he isn't stirring the pot but saying it how it is.
