    He hasn't spent any yet so what makes you think Rupp will be spending?

    No, all free transfers.

    The money spent has come from cutting wages, selling Hanson and Wkye.

    Rupp and Edin has spent nothing on the playing side.

    A couple of questions for me.

    1) Would Stefan be keen to purchase Edin's shares in the meanwhile, till someone comes along i.e in the Summer to invest? The sooner Edin is announced he's gone the quicker the supporters can rebuild the relationship with the club.

    2) Does anyone who is ITK, know how long Julian Rhodes will be at the club on a consultancy basis? is it up till January? till the end of the season? bit of clarity be good in these uncertain times.

    3) Regarding the football side of things, is David Hopkin still the right man to bring City out of this slump? Still no assistant manager, goalkeeping coach, fitness coach, sports scientist etc at the club. We have Martin Drury and the performance coach who is Ben Nicholson along with three physio's.

    1) Doubt it. Rupp sent money on buying his shares and hasn't really been keen in the club. More interested in driving cars about. He knew who Edin was effecting the club and let it happen.

    2) It seems rolling monthly but him being here is good.

    3) 100% not. Hopkin is way out of his depth. He's taking us down and won't take us back up. Tactically clueless.

    Can I expect to see you at Plymouth next Saturday Park? I'll buy you a pint and you can call me a part timer whilst I get them in for you. I've probably been to far more games than you over the last 22 years, so don't come at me with that crap. Some fans wanted to make a difference to get that muppet out before he took us to non league. Unfortunately people like you will benefit long term as well, all you deserve non league.

    I'm happy with the way I've acted, you shouldn't be.

    I won't expect a reply, as like a crap politician you drop a pile of crap then run instead of defending your point when you are blatantly wrong, again!

    It doesn’t take the most informed fan to be aware that Rahic is on his way, what isn’t yet public knowledge is the nuts and bolts of his departure, other investors to buy his 22% stake, Rupp to own the club 100%, or a bit of both ?

    JR to run the show, DH to run the squad.

    Hard days ahead, however Rupp will start to be on a nice little earner, whilst the club pays his loan off. Vastly different set-up to the last ownership.

    Rupp could be heavily criticised for what seems to be his indifference to the damage Rahic inflicted on the club, a little like how the Roades left BFG to run the show.

    Rupp will have learnt the lesson, and want regular feed-back from the new arrangement.

    The main question is the purse strings, will the budget go back to Pre-Rahic days.

    We know, or are very confident that managing the side and signings will be entirely down to the footballing staff.

    We’re on the journey through the woods, however that journey back has just started.

    Eventually we’ll be back to where we were, maybe 5years to get there again, certainly if we’ve to do it via League two again.

    Unless of course Rupp is prepared to put a bit of extra our way, don’t hold your breath.

    The most soul destroying thing about all this is it is so pointless, it wasn’t needed.

    One mans twisted vision, told by fan and club employee alike, but ignored by arrogance and contempt alike.

    @JonButterfield@JonButterfield is a prolific poster. In all fairness you could copy and post the content onto this thread, to clarify just which one you are relying on. Alternatively each and every post has a # number at the bottom right, perhaps you could type the number on to this thread so we can all cross reference the item you rely on.:thumbup:[/QUOTE]

    whichever way its come about, and no matter how @Park bantam@Park bantam wants to spin it - this is excellent news for our club, and not a day too soon.
    the official news can't come quick enough.

    maybe our club will be a decent place to work, and play football again, and maybe our players might put some performances together. it's a shame we had to lose decent pro's like Colin Doyle and Killa before this happened, but finally we can move on, and make a fist of staying up.

    and, now, to answer another thread - we can begin to question Hopkin - when Rahic is gone, with new players brought in, the pressure will really be on him to deliver.

    So this?

    I know who @City-since-67@City-since-67 is, and he told me three things were true or going to happen.

    One is already true, one is almost certainly true and will be confirmed in the coming weeks/months, and the other I probably won't ever know for sure.

    But if you ask me, and I've dealt with this poster, he not only told me the truth, but had genuine information, acted in the best interests of the club, and didn't exaggerate once.

    Also, I know that the funds for the flyover will be back in our hands very soon, and I'll confirm as soon as they are.

    If this poster isn't owed an apology, he is at least owed some respect for having the club at heart and for knowing what he was talking about.

    He told me he wasn't a bullshitter.

    I second that.

    What I and I guess a lot of people find so very frustrating, is the lack of openness. It seems like the only way to get information, is to put pressure on the club.
    If you want to do things ‘behind the scenes’ then do just that. Keep everything ultra ‘confidential’ by making no reference whatsoever to it in a public arena like Bantam Talk.
    More than happy for none sensitive banter, but I get a little fed up with the conjuring type of posts which are going on. That is not just aimed at you but everyone who wants to do this ‘smoke and mirrors’ thing.
    I like straight talking, open and honest, rather than secrets and games.

    So basically you wanted him to ask Jon to cancel the fly over with no explanation or for Jon to not tell anyone who donated why it was cancelled... rather than give the reasons he did.. Apart from a word for word transcript of the conversation had by the 3 parties I'm not sure they could have been more open and honest about it?

    I would want a little more detail than has been made available.
    • Yes I like clarity.
    • Yes I would like to know what the person who made the phone call knows.
    • Yes I would like to know why the phone call was made at the 11th hour.
    • Yes I would like to know why someone who is officially linked with the club did not contact Jon.
    • Yes I would like to know why disinformation about the identity of the 17 was allowed to snowball.
    • Yes I am concerned that the timing may have been ‘orchestrated to not allow consultation with the 64.
    • Yes I am unhappy that people have secret chats, but not so secret that they post about the fact on here.
    In fact I am getting more annoyed about this aspect of the saga, than the main culprit in this fiasco and that is not correct.

    • Yes I would like to know what the person who made the phone call knows. - He told you this
    • Yes I would like to know why the phone call was made at the 11th hour. - it wasn't it was made 2/3 days before, again this has been made clear
    • Yes I would like to know why someone who is officially linked with the club did not contact Jon. - Possibly someone either offered to having already signed up to the forum, or they were asked to help out - hardly a massive issue
    • Yes I would like to know why disinformation about the identity of the 17 was allowed to snowball. - There was no disinformation, people just decided they didn't like the answer given so made something up, think we can all agree it's unlikely 17 people were investors
    • Yes I am concerned that the timing may have been ‘orchestrated to not allow consultation with the 64. - Again we have been told initial talks were started 2 or 3 days before the event
    • Yes I am unhappy that people have secret chats, but not so secret that they post about the fact on here. - It wasn't a secret chat, it was a meeting between club officials and a supporters group, where many things may have been discussed.

    As a previous member of the supporters group I can honestly say information is shared freely where possible and emails are sent out regularly, there is also monthly committee meetings, where questions can be raised by members through appropriate channels and there is also an AGM.. However during the nearly 2 years BB have been going the response to these meetings has been basically non existent in terms of members turning up or questions raised, simply put most don't seem bothered at all (Well that is until something like this happens then all of a sudden everyone expects to be kept fully informed!) Apart from the 5 or 6 people on the committee who put a lot of effort in to raise funds for charity and the club!

    It's mentioned that citysince is secretary or holds some position within Bingley Supporters club.
    Therefore could pester the club quite regularly, alternately he may know someone from ticket office or reception where he gets little snippets of info from. From this we get the I'm ITK smoke and dagger posts.

    Here's a thought

    Now look at it from another angle, maybe he heard a snippet of some Germans wanting some lunch over here, and then made it his own business to contact the club offering his services to have the flyover cancelled. He know's from these massage boards whom to contact ,To which JR said, yeah I'll go along with that. In turn Citysince then can make out he's part orchestrating events, when in essence he's not on the boundary.
