    Sales must be dreadful. Appointing Stuart was purely to improve ST sales, gone well hasn’t it Julian?

    Why's everybody obsessed with a plan? What is Burnley's plan? How's everyone's plan stacking up now? Is there a contingency plan? Do fans have a right to know what that is as well? Will a good contingency plan attract fans and a bad one force fans to other clubs? Football been the same for generations. You make a judgement on a figurehead and away you go. If things don't work out you get rid and bring someone else in. Luck plays a huge part especially since patience has become as thin as a razor blade. Clubs sack people and reappoint them all the time. Perhaps they plan to do that - who knows. A few years ago football was decided by money now it's how good you're plan is. Hopefully we'll get back to deciding things on the pitch someday.

    When Herr Dick und Liddy rolled into town with their 5 year plan to reach the Premiership, I think most fans were initially pleased, that we were planning for the medium to long term. We know how that turned out, but if things were tweaked instead of demolished it might have happened.
    At the moment it’s a 3 month plan with nothing from the club beyond that. Where’s the incentive other than blind loyalty to buy another ST?
    Now might be a good time for a buyer/consortium to approach Rupp, without the distraction of the week to week games getting in the way.

    Spot on. With no income coming in and uncertainty about when football will be resuming this is just the time when the club needs to encourage ST sales. I shall renew mine tomorrow.

    A quarter of EFL clubs won’t be in existence if the season doesn’t resume within 6 months so to purchase a season ticket at this stage is madness, unless you’re very well off financially which the majority of city fans aren’t.

    Agree. The most proven formula for success isn’t exactly rocket science. Recruit a decent manager and give him the tools to do the job. Not sure how that constitutes as a plan but it’s mighty effective.

    Don't knock it, in a few weeks time we will all be desperately trying to find a stream for it.

    Yes. Stefan Rupp has enough money. I’m not a charity for supporting German multi millionaires. Or any other nationalities. Why should I give him more? If he doesn’t want to own a football club and the liabilities that come with it he should sell to somebody who does.

    If it was a local members football club no, certainly not. But City is a private business owned by a man allegedly worth £100m. The business would not be in any jeopardy if he stands behind it properly. In my opinion the man needs to take a sh1t or get off the pot.

    As the club is still a viable business then the credit card would recoup the money from the club.

    I don't believe that he even acknowledges yet that he has lost money in buying a pig in a poke. The sooner he does that, the sooner he will realise that he won't get his original money back and he will have to inject his own funds into the club to develop it if he wants to recover his original investment. Unfortunately there is no evidence that that is his intention.

    This club even with its overheads is a viable business (at the right price!) and there is no reason to suppose that not buying STs now (rather than prior to the ST deadline) will be a reason for its demise. It might however help to change Rupp's mind about wanting to sell the club at a profit. Unfortunately for Rupp, nobody in their right mind would pay anything like that for a club in the lowest level of pro football with bugger all assets but he doesn't as yet seem to have understood that. If he simply wants the club to tick over, that's up to him and JR. But in the mean time his original investment is just a wasting asset.

    Herr Rupp, du hast die Katze im Sack gekauft!

    Is it he is worth an 100 million pre the corona virus outbreak - no one knows what the impact will be on a person's wealth once it has cleared up - how much of his assets are invested and could be adversely affected.. How much is / can be freed up to invest?

    I think if this continues a couple more months they will withdraw season tickets from sale as they will not be able to guarantee how many games we will be playing next season

    Sorry may be missing something here but surely next season's season ticket money is meant to fund next season ? Not plug a gap in this seasons finances ?

    No incentive for me. It’s just a reminder how shit we’ve become.
