    Make your mind up time Edin and Stefan. Invest this summer or we’re going down and your asset depreciates massively.

    and....

    If you hadn’t have ripped up the blueprint that had us progressing so well just to implement your ideas and dream then this mess wouldn’t cost you half as much to put right.

    I am sure the mind of the owner with money is made up already. It isn't a decision we will like.

    I think it’s time we heard from them. As @Fordy117@Fordy117 has said, we are drifting towards the end of the season with no comment from anyone at the top of the club. Even Mason has gone quiet. A big statement of intent wouldn’t go amiss or maybe they’re just going to let their actions do the talking.

    I don’t buy a program but does anyone one know if they have an owners comments page in there?

    If that’s the case then he should just sell up now.

    Like I say, failure to invest in this squad will just result in relegation and the value of their asset will plummet.

    Edin knows football.... Knows nothing.

    Partner in crime knows nothing.

    What worries me is that he may have written off his investment already.

    I think they made plenty of "statements of intent" when they took over...
    That worked out well...

    They’ll be no investment. Grayson will walk and we’ll end up with a puppet who’ll effectively let Edin do as he pleases. Which as many have said will lead to a mid table finish at best or a relegation battle at worst. We are going backwards and very quickly unfortunately.

    Unfortunately I agree. We pretty much need a full squad overhaul (as Grayson said post match) if we are to do anything positive next season, and that means a decent investment in the playing squad.

    What's massively worrying is that the owners haven't spoken to Grayson(not that I want him to stay) or players out of contract like Doyle and only a week left of the season.

    The club is a mess.

    Didn't Rahic and Grayson have more talks earlier this week?

    That appears to contradict what Grayson said in his post-match interview

    Aye Grayson said so. If they’ve had talks then surely most issues should have been sorted by now. This tells me that he hasn’t got the answers he wanted and will walk.

    Sadly I tend to agree. Mr Rupps silence speaks volumes to me. He has the capital but chooses not to invest it seems. His investment to date is nothing more than small change to him so no great shakes if it' devalues and in all honesty he has no affinity with the club. Meanwhile I really fear for our future. Many fans, myself included criticised our previous owners but how many now would happily turn the clock back?

    Agreed. At this moment in time I'd say it's very unlikely Grayson will be here next season. My money is on Rosler as he comes across as a bit of a yes man.

    It all seems to me that Mr Rupps invested in us because of his mate Edin but didn't realise the true cost of running an English football Club and the passion of the fans. As soon as he found that out he's backed away and tried to run the club like a true business without cash investment on players through his own money.

    Now it seems he wants out and unwilling to invest at all into the club.

    This club is a mess. We're in big trouble.

    Not true. Grayson said on the radio after today's game, that he has spoken with the owners three times this week and Doyle said his agent had been contacted by the club to say no decisions will be made until the manager is known.

    Does anyone genuinely believe that the owners will put this mess right this summer?
