News from VP towers

Is this the same consortium that has been mentioned by a freelance journalist?

 

Pure greed

 

Poor Business decision - shows the Arrogance of the man TBH.

Bird in the hand.......etc

 

There appears to have been a lot of penny pinching going on!! I realise you have to be careful, but it is ridiculous to jeopardise a signing, argue over bonuses etc and now look where we are.

Well neither of them have been watching games much of late, so it fits, but the investment in the pitch doesn’t?

 

It goes without saying this summer our monitory recruitment drive is going to take a significant impact with the pitch work costing thousands.

 

But can we afford to scrimp on players? We did that this season and look what has happened if we do, even bigger chance of relegation and potentially loss of revenue.. sometimes you have to invest or even worse consequences follow. I would borrow the money for the pitch off Rupp, low interest.

 

Do people really think they're going to walk away after 1 bad season? also they will argue the club is worth more than the £5m they paid and is anybody really going to pay more than that for it?

 

It seems to me that at least one of our Chairmen invested into an expensive Airfix kit, only to find ............... Glue, paint and paint brushes were not included. No wonder things are falling to pieces and looking Grey at the moment.

 

I'm of the opinion that our current owners will stay but 3rd party investment is a real possibility.

 

The vibe at the moment is Edin has been shocked by the vitriol. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a change of ownership sooner rather than later.

 

I do think the vitriol against them has seriously taken them aback

 

They need to stop saying we are going to be promoted in three years, stop saying we are all prepared for the January window etc., I am also beginning to wonder if the pitch will be upgraded. That has what has incensed fans, we are not fools to be fed BS. The trust has gone nobody is believing anything they say, plus I don’t think either of them has turned up for a match lately.

 

Seriously Park, when they have over promised and under delivered as they have recently and presided over the calamitous PR of late how can it be a surprise to them?

Naivety or arrogance, I don't know

 

If we lose 30%+ of our season ticket holders, which seems plausible atm, then I'd argue the value of the club has been significantly reduced.

Part of the value of the club was a fan base of close to 20,000 and the associated revenue. That has been eroded, in the short term at least.

 

Undoubtedly the numbers will be down, be interesting to see which £ bracket the share is down in.

 

I cant see either Rupp/Rahic leaving. Even with things going the way they are I think Rahic is too stubborn to admit defeat so early. In any case it will be interesting to see what will develop after this bitter sweet (Or sweet bitter) season has ended.

On a positive note its nice to see activity on this site.
