    We have a squad 50-strong, and there about five that actually matter.

    O'Donnell,
    Payne (and still awkward to fit in),
    O'Connor,
    Scannell,
    Brunker.

    Actually, make that four.

    Is that comment from personal experience of how those at Valley Parade go about their day to day jobs ?.

    Im not sure on the ins and outs but iam led to I believe that Rupp is ready to wash his hands of the club and his investment and Rhodes will take the club out of admin if it does come to that.

    I agree. My information comes from the same person who said Rhodes would be returning which turned out to be true. The information is involving insolvency who have been involved with the club previously.

    The man who is CO, Owner and Head of Football would appear to be omnipotent. There is no statement that he has stood down from any of these roles. Since he made that comment, a lot of staff have ‘exited’, additionally since James Mason left, the post of Cheif Operating Officer appears to be unfilled.

    Rumour going around that sponcors have been asked to pay their next installments early, any sponcors on here can confirm or otherwise ?.

    Ok let’s speculate as to how we might have acquired this overdraft alledgedly. I am presuming we are not paying bonus, so players will be on basic pay.i accept the revenue went down this year, but that still doesn’t account for this amount? Either somebody’s maths is horrendous or there is a valid explanation, and please do not tell me how expensive the electricity and water bills are.

    Well for what period was the £700k loss for? It would make sense that the figure had doubled since that time.

    Well yes if you keep overspending. I thought Rupp got rid of the deficit, it was accumulating due to spending season ticket money that should have been designated for the following season. I remember him saying that it had been taken care of at the POTY awards. Not sure how though, as no investment sums have been made.

    You can’t keep spending without paying anything back, at some point the bank is going to call a halt.

    Good question. They were big at sponsoring boxing matching matches but don't seem to be doing anymore.
