    I can't believe he said that!!

    Then again, I wrote off the next five years once he was reappointed as manager.

    We we all going to admit that McCall needs to go now?

    None of this we need to wait for a new CEO rubbish or a new bloody owner. His results are rubbish and hes losing the respect from the fans.

    McCall staying is starting to do more damage than good.

    When you watch us it’s hard not to do.

    Time to readjust, staying up would be a marvellous achievement, I won’t write us off from staying up (just yet) Stuart.

    The value of city must be going down by the week, Rupp is going to lose a lot of dosh at this rate. Someone must be watching and i think it will come right out of the blue.

    Well last seasons objective was an immediate return to league1. Bowyer was sacked when it looked unlikely he would succeed, the football was poor to watch and the fans turned in him.
    Stuart came in with the objection of getting us into the playoffs. Sadly the season was curtailed but even so it was unlikely he would have achieved it.
    With plenty of time to rebuild and on the back of strong season ticket sales I’d suggest the objective this season for Stuart was the same as last season for Bowyer.
    So I’d say Stuart is massively failing and almost makes Bowyers sacking unjustified.

    That’s our position

    I think we need to start the pressure now for change to take place in time for next season. How about an #Investorsell campaign? Thousands of BCAFC fans pledge not to renew their cheap season tickets unless we either see serious investment or the club is put up for sale.

    Anything to get Rupp out will get my attention. He is the crux of the problem.

    Rupp out.

    The club is for sale, but a price of 5 million is not realistic.

    We drop in to non league and lose the golden share and we will not be worth even £1 million

    A cynic might suggest that’s the objective.
    Value of club sinks to zero, Rhodes buys it back and we go from there.

    Will he be able to price the club at 5 million if he doesn't have supporters to provide the match day revenue? When he took over the club we had 15,000+ regular fans, I believe they cited that as one of the reasons why they found buying BCAFC an attractive proposition. If 5,000 of the remaining 9,000 season ticket holders say "we ain't paying for this anymore, even at low prices" what is he going to do?

    Not too sure about that Inspector. If for example, we had brought in a Richie Wellans, do you think that we would have played so pathetically again today?
    A new Manager can instil a new mindset/ideas and passion into various players.
    I am now firmly in the "McCall Out" camp after seeing that he has dropped back into his previous ways/excuses.
    If the Manager was Bowyer, Grayson, Hopkin, Collins etc then almost everyone would be screaming for his dismissal, but somehow McCall seems to be continually free from any/all blame.

    When Bowyer served up this sort of shite the knives we're out for him big time yet Staurt gets the old excuse of he needs time and we shouldn't keep changing managers.

    That theory could well spell the end for us
    Unless @Fordy117@Fordy117 goes in with a counter bid

    Yeah but the players are the same and the injuries are still present.

    None of those mentioned would get a tune out of todays starting 11. No one would.

    They would make major changes to training methods, playing style and disipline and when able make major changes with players in and out
