Looks like he’s eaten Paul Jewell.

 

Doesn’t to have experience of running a football club, needs to know how to lead. The first thing I’d do in his shoes is appoint some I trust to run the football side and I’d focus on the business and making sure all the non football staff have the tools they need to do their job. Give them the support and encouragement they need and make sure my football director is doing the same.

 

He might have done but, I don't really know.

 

How bad is it when you need to spend money because your manager needs help to do his job instead of getting a proper manager to just replace him

 

You and that Nixon guy have so much in common.

 

Is it possible that Rupp has realised that his evaluation isn’t realistic? Every day with Covid around another few quid is being knocked off its value. Let’s face it, as with anything, the value is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay.

If I was Rupp I think I’d be just cutting my losses and moving on.

 

I would happily pay £350 for a ST in the Championship. That would mean we are a club on the up and had a half decent team. Potentially some local derbies Yorkshire+North East+Lancashire and decent crowds. That's £15 a game and in league 2 if you attend an away game you pay more than that on average.

That is all a pipe dream right now but I would love us to be managed by SM into the championship.

Don't know how credible the recent new CEO rumour is but that could be the catalyst for a period of growth, investment and development of the squad.

He’s clearly looking to get back involved, and seems to want the challenge of growing something. I seriously want this to happen - but it seems too promising to be true.

 

Trust me Manningham is sure at the forefront of "growing something" but it's not related to football.

 

This would be potentially wonderful news for BCFC. Nothing against Rupp on a personal level but under his tenure, it simply hasn't worked. The club has regressed , lost support and dropped a division. He in my eyes, also shares, so much responsibility for the mess Rahic left us in.

RUPP HAS ULTIMATELY FAILED.

Now a potential change would be very much welcome, quite a tonic in these uncertain times, from a chap whom has previous credentials and somebody who has a genuine desire for the sport.

I hope this has momentum.

 

Not sure what Fordys problem is? He should be excited that there is a guy who has been there and done it before wanting to possibly take our club forward. It may turn out to be bollocks but Jenkins has definitely shown an interest. I get a feeling our local paper knows but has been told to keep schtum, hence the piss poor attempt at deflection on twitter.

 

If rumours or recent murmurings are true we have now missed out on David Sharpe who went to Mansfield and Huw Jenkins?
And this mystery man who we never got in the end.

it’s a bit like our striker search this new CEO isn’t it

 

What was this Jenkins story based on? The fact Alan Nixon hinted at it. A 12 page thread of everyone getting stupidly het up because of Alan Nixon. Its embarrassing.
Some are even suggesting its the clubs fault yet have absolutey no idea of any detail or if it was even true.
Get this in the shitbin along with the ridiculous season ticket sales obsession thread.

 

Agree, non of us on here with possibly one exception even know if there have been any talks. If there have been talks, how many know what exactly has been discussed? Can't understand all this vitriol aimed at Julian. He answered an SOS to steady a badly torpedoed ship. Along with many other clubs fans at the moment, my main object is survival. Anyone who can forget how near we came to not having a club to support has a short memory(I will forgive the under 25s)

 

Sparks was very much playing the visiting Chairman/CEO rule at Tonbridge on Saturday. Anyone expecting a Baldwin or Jenkins level of appointment should prepare themselves to be disappointed.

 

Speaking strictly as an Atheist, Amen to that.

 

YOU need to respect other people's views and posts.

 

My source is the same as what the usual in the know suspects who run websites / blogs about the club. They will be out in force when the news breaks as saying they’ve known for weeks, which to be fair they probably have. There have always been leaking taps at city, you just need to know someone they love to talk to. Let’s put it this way, the same source told me that Rahic had gone about 2 weeks before anything official came out. Also that Hopkins and Bowyer had gone prior to them actually going officially.

I was told that Jenkins was in talks to become CEO and was going to be tasked with finding a buyer or potentially leading his own consortium. There was annoyance that the news broke in the press and across social media.

Its all gone very quiet since. I don’t think that is a bad thing and doesn’t necessarily mean that’s it’s a dead. Perhaps the contrary.

There are other interested parties and Stefan Rupp is very open to selling the club. If the right offer comes in make no bones about it, he’ll be out like a shot and I don’t blame him. He still however feels a moral duty to keep the club competitive. Money is there for January.
