    According to that Telegraph article, there was 17 prospective German investors there at the Oxford game. I hope to god that none of them 'know football'.

    And if those quotes are true, that's a bit like saying a news report is just quotes from people who actually understand what happened or was happening.

    Yeah, no kidding.

    I'm not the gap tonight was huge and it's not that long ago that we were actually up around that kind of level. This guy has ruined the club in the short/medium term. Frankly he is a cowardly so and so too he hasn't got the balls or the fight in him to sort his mistakes. I'm not sure Rupp has the appetite to invest and that's a big worry for me. Quite how he has failed so miserably is beyond me a blind man riding a horse could easily have seen the way forward was to invest in Parky and let him do his thing. The sooner hes gone the better!

    The stumbling block is employment. As I said earlier, he has no obvious alternative source of income, to the one which he is currently drawing in his capacity of CO or CEO and Head of Football, plus his wife’s salary!

    "It's a matter of when and not if Edin goes, but the situation is complicated by the shareholders' agreement and Rahic’s employment contract."

    We were playing the best home side in the country with a depleted defence.. we were never getting a result from that game.. the games in December will tells us how doomed we are

    They were outside the main entrance at 2-15 I saw them talking to club officials.

    He still owes Rupp the money he borrowed to buy his 22% share.

    I’ll believe it when it’s confirmed.

    Sorry @Chris Withe@Chris Withe but that must be wrong as @City-since-67@City-since-67 was very clear they were actually ‘old footballing friends’ and not investors! See top post!

    I don't see how anyone can be confident of us staying up. Let's see how far adrift we are come January and how well Hopkin is backed


    This is going to take a lot of money to put right. We need about 15 put and 10 in. We won't get close to doing that in January, bit 4 or 5 of quality would make a big difference. Centre Back, left back, striker x 2 and winger.

    Don't worry, everything is fine. This was the reply I got from city-since-67 when I suggested on Sunday that Edin's 'friends' might have been possible investors :

    City-since-67 said:
    Stop panicking. You are completely wrong. They are part of a local football team near Stuttgart both current and veterans. Edin used to play for the team. They came last year and came again this weekend.

    This, to me, is far more believable than the '17 investors' statement in the article.

    17 investors?

    From Stuttgart?

    Interested in investing with Edin on his way out?

    Finding that hard to believe, but we'll see.

    Don't leave out poor @Silverbantam@Silverbantam he'll have to change his Twitter pic and everything:cry:

    I have a feeling, soon enough they will be saying they never liked Rahic and were just uber fans who didn't want to criticise for the good of the club:*@.
