    Time to face facts.
    We are getting absolutely stripped down to the bare bones so that it becomes cheap enough for him to buy it himself.
    We have an owner sat in Germany who quite clearly isn't that bothered about us and has no idea how football works never mind running a football club.
    Mixed messages saying money is available yet we have one of the weakest squads i can remember and can't seem to get any deals over the line.
    Who is actually running the club? Where's the direction?

    The club will never move forwards with him at the helm. Until someone with a modern, forward thinking mindset replaces him and move this club into the modern era, we'll continue to stagnate or move backwards.

    Unfortunately we have a mute owner and CEO, but that's always been the case.
    Hence why we have YTS boy Sparks as the mouthpiece

    Clueless, utterly clueless. Suffocating our club into the abyss. 3 years ago we were knocking on the door of the Championship, now look at us.

    Defining Rhodes as a cancer of this club is stepping over the line for me.

    Maybe me being soft Onside. Just the tag 'cancer' being attached to any man. It dose not sit right with me.

    I understand the sentiment but im sure the post was just trying to describe his feeling towards Rhodes and his running of the club.
    The only other word i can think of is maybe virus haha probably not the best word to use either at the moment.

    Second Admin that wasn’t needed due to fall out with the other owner & landlord of Valley Parade.

    Various investors touted/failed through the years, including one with no money who ran off with a cheerleader.

    Failed to invest in the club infrastructure when money was finally gained in 2013.

    Tried to sell club to Italian investor...again with no money, who failed at QPR.

    Sold club to Rahic & Rupp who could ‘take the club to the next level’

    Yep, COVID crisis & salary cap is at fault.

    Julian Rhodes given a football club by his dad to keep him away from the family business!

    I'd be happier if Rupp had appointed Lawn, but then Lawn wasn't going to sort out the books, which by all accounts were a dreadful mess after Rahic left.

    Now, though, I'm not seeing how Rhodes compliments Rupp.

    Rupp is the owner, he needs to find someone who can oversee success.

    James Mason could be free again shortly as Welcome to Yorkshire could be closed down shortly due to lack of funding

    The dream team? Baldwin and a consortium, can't see him leaving EFL so soon but would be interesting.

    What happened to the new CEO that Rhodes said a couple of months ago would be here soon. Or did I dream that??

    As has been said many times, Edin had good ideas. He was simply incapable of executing them without making a balls up of everything he touched.
