We would not pay compensation for mason. That ship has sailed

 

Proof is in the pudding,Rhodes has to work closely with edin, good luck with that,

edin is still attached to the club like a human stain,

we will all soon see if anything has changed in the way the club is run and the (mis)fortunes of the team/Hopkin.

 

He is a city fan, maybe he doesn’t want to see all his hard work go down the pan

 

I think it's a sign that Rupp realises he needs to change his softly softly approach in terms is spending, which I admit I had no issue with

He's clearly spooked about the thought of us in L2 and hence will spend if need be. Personally, I think we'll survive if we average the usual no more than a quarter of a squad unavailable rather than the half it's been.

He could easily have blamed Rahic, said there is no more money and shrugged his shouders. That would be a disaster as we must make him money in the long term. Even two seasons in L2 prevents that

 

He needs to careful getting into bed with those two parasites, Abbo's lost much respect snuggling up to them.

 

Wouldn't need compo. Mason is on a consultancy basis too.

 

Not read through the thread but it wont change anything while the 2 w@nkers are still here, only thing that could get me back to VP would be to read that they've fkd off.

 

Before everyone gets carried away he has been brought in a consultancy role
Which means exactly that he is there to be consulted give his opinion and then it's up to the powers that be IF they act on that opinion
Someone to deflect any future blame on maybe

 

Yes but too long on the tooth to get caught up in that crap. I wonder how they are paying him? Hopefully Edin shares.

 

I hope Rahic uses this consultant more than the last !

Mixed feelings on this one. Would’ve been nice if he was replacing Rahic, or even joining the board but consultancy without a timeframe leaves me a bit uneasy. He could quite easily walk tomorrow or they could ignore his advice and cancel the arrangement.

I hope this is the first step forward on a long road back and we can get back to supporting the team and talking football again.

 

Well your wrong Rhodes was the driving force to sell the club

 

Thankyou for the clarification,
I bet Rhodes would be really happy to be linked to edin's masterplan to get us out of league one and his brilliant business ideas.Dont think he wants another damning indictment.

 

Well he does know how to run a football club. Granted results aren’t great but presumably he didn’t say he knew how to run one well.

 

I thought would come Dennis! But I couldn't agree with you more, I am not enthused at all by today's news, nothing changes for me.

 

I think the phone call would have been made by Stefan possibly in Edins ear shot, after Edin was told to have a low profile until Julian calms the waters.

 

Another false dawn? Another 'second coming' that promises much but may bring nothing? Time will tell.

 

I've read Simon's exclusive story on the T&A and what I gleaned was;

1. Julian will be with the club for some time - he has to be to build a relationship with David as stated in the story.
2. Given 1 it seems to infer Edin will have less contact with David
3. Edin and Stefan are not going anywhere yet (sorry Bronco and South Yorks/twinny/whoever you are today but look at Julian's quote on who looked to invest) it's stated they've made an investment and they still see it as an investment
4. The only potential chance of them leaving would be if we stay up. If we're relegated they'd stay on rather than sell at a loss.

Still think we need to find a way to support the team and make it known our protest against the owners.

 

You might be right. Still, imagine him picking up the phone and asking Julian to help. It would have been an interesting call to listen in on! Certainly not an easy one for someone who is said to have a large ego!

 

I'm still not sure what he can do though? He can advise the owners to open up their wallets - but that's not going to happen until January. The team is playing terribly, and the manager can only work with what he's got. Other than trying to cheer David up by letting him know he's going to be able to rebuild his entire squad in January, what's he gonna do - serve free hot wine and mince pies on the terraces?

My fear is that he's going to be doing prep work for the transfer window, but we're going to be too far adrift then to be saved.
