    My husband has started reading this forum. All this time I had never thought anything about your name. He is still laughing at me

    You know it's bad when everyone is delighted to have Captain Admin back as a consultant.

    Let's hope he doesn't add a 4th relegation onto his family's CV of involvement.

    This latest development is just a sop to try and quiet discontent. Knowing how much Rhodes disliked anything to do with publicity, it's going to do nothing to improve communications between those at the top and the fans either.

    Rahic Out!

    If I was Edin I'd be feeling like a spare pr*ck right about now. If only it'd be enough to shame him out of the club.

    As for what this fixes I'm not immediately sure. Does the chain of command go Rupp>Rhodes>Hopkin with Rahic looking on from the sidelines?

    Actually, having thought about it Rhodes>Hopkin would be the more ideal set up with Rupp just providing the funds and Rahic twiddling his thumbs somewhere far from VP.

    I don't. He and his wife are being well paid. Cash that the club needs under ffp. Obviously, he has to draw income but if he has had to get rid of staff who draw in the income so that he can pay himself and missus a bit more, this is false economy.

    Someone for Edin to hide behind, can't see how this will ever work. Don't let the Edin Out momentum stop

    A step in a better direction.
    A leap would be Rahic resigning.

    I have the utmost respect for JR, if for whatever reason we still end up in league 2, it will not be down to him, we are just too far in the mire to recover. If anybody can do he can! As he says in his statement we have been through worse times and survived. He gets the glory if we make it, and no blame if we don’t in my view.

    Trust me, the fact that Julian has agreed to come back speaks volumes.

    I don't share your respect for JR. I recall only too well how he was willing to join with BFG in taking their share of a nearly £8mill dividend manufactured from City when the club was loss making. The timing of that helped to precipitate Admin1. I also recall that when he and Gibb were the joint owners and there were still commitments to a couple of banks left over from Admin 1, it was JR who failed to make one of the payments to the Clydesdale Bank which automatically pushed the club into Admin 2. He has a lot to answer for imo.

    In what way did he put everything on the line? The club went into 2 Admins under his stewardship and after Admin 2, he bought the club in its entirety at a knock down price from the Administrator with all of the debt written off and creditors paid a measly amount on account. It was the fans who were raising money right until the 11th hour who kept the club afloat during Admin 2

    He and his family took divs. They said they didn’t know, BFG led them down the garden path of oblivion. Prof Rhodes looked me in the eye and told me that himself. Both him and Julien have run successful business. Yes their neglect in being more actively involved and we ended up in admin. Prof told me they trusted Geoffrey and had no reason to question his decisions.

    However, since that time, plus they put their own home up as surety to the Inland Revenue very brave in my view.

    So yes mistakes were made, and they learnt the hard way. If they had buggered off as they could have done I would have a different view.

    First step in the right direction. But it changes nothing, Edin out!

    Are you for real @Park bantam@Park bantam, you're suggesting Julian has been onboard since these two clowns purchased the club, if that was the case which it isn't, then why would we expect any changes now it's known he is officially doing what he did before unofficially, there is certainly something in the sea air in Whitby.

    This is pointless, Rahic won't take advice from no one, he's got to go.

    Personally, i couldn't disagree more. Whilst i don't doubt for a minute his intentions of nurturing then selling youth to make a fat profit were his initial intentions, i firmly believe he's realised the error of his ways and has abandoned this project. And any notion that bringing in a consultant in the shape of Mr Rhodes is an attempt to shift the blame is ludicrous. Your head needs a good shake.
