    Honestly this man hasn’t learned anything the reason we are in this mess is down to him turning a blind eye to Rahic antics it would appear he’s doing the same again with Sparkes :( it’s a shame that it’s us that’s gonna suffer because if he was the owner of any other business then frankly it would deserve to go bust

    Rupp made the major mistake of taking JRs advice to bring in an unsuitable CEO in Sparks who had no experience in football matters, Had he appointed a proper football man we would be in a better position,
    It is not to late to correct that mistake.

    City fans!

    I want Rupp out - As do most of you.

    I dont think a boycott and protest will help us gain that goal. After all we ultimately need a buyer and while it may push Rupp to accept a deal more readily. It may also push him to sell to the wrong person or group.

    Instead lets advertise us, the fans! When the football club is run honestly and competently we show up. We dont need to win to show up, we were losing in a League Cup final but in our tens of thousands waved our city flags. We drowned out Stamford Bridge!

    We did so well as a fan base it was what drove Rupp and his pal to buy us in the first place.

    I think we should create a funny video advertising what a potential new owner could get. A call out from the fans to a potential owner. No negativity other than the pure satire that we find ourselves in. A parody advertisement that would hopefully go viral. With the help of a press release sent to every sports writer you can think of.

    Id like to know if there are any videographers among us? Anyone who can help me and anyone who wants to contribute to create an advert aimed at billionaires with the message that buying us would be a fun and rewarding proposition. DM me or let me know here.

    Im not happy clapping here. Im proper pissed off the same as everyone else. I want Rupp out, hes presided over nothing but backwards growth and is unwilling to meet his obligations. I just dont think protests and placards will find us a buyer.

    Come on people lets send Rupp on his bike!

    I think that would be a good idea alongside the boycott and protest, and not instead of them

    https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/19945834.two-departures-expose-deeper-sense-shambles-carlisle-united/

    Interesting article about Carlisle United and the recent departure of the manager AND their Director of Football.

    So their 'Director of Football' was an internal appointment of gargantuanly nepotistic proportions.

    Yes, he was friends with the owner, and hired from Edinburgh Woollen Mill.

    LOL.

    The Ryan Sparks parallel is stark.

    No recruitment drive was made prior to installing a disastrously poor DoF. It was, instead, made on a recommendation from someone at EWM, who are an investor.

    Sound familiar?

    Yeah, now Carlisle are fighting for their EFL lives.

    This is what happens when you don't conduct your business properly. A cautionary tale for that Ding Dong Stefan Rupp.

    Here's a question. If we do go the DoF route, who do we trust to choose and appoint the DoF?

    Fair question.

    However I do think either Jewell or Warnock would be obvious choices, and they're not 'more of the same', either.

    But in the event we couldn't attract either of those, it will be up to Rupp to get his arse to the UK and appoint someone.

    The board is under immense pressure there, they're in a real mess.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see some more of the 'dancers' depart after those two.

    Probably agree with your obvious choices, and it would ultimately be Rupps decision, but he would need some solid advisors

    He won't do it anyway.

    Nobody at the club wants to change, or at least they're not capable of implementing proper change.

    No, he definitely did have a footballing background.

    He was a footballer.

    To the mods!

    Couldnt you leave my post up for one day without moving it here?

    My post isnt about Rupp Out - its about creating a video for the fans. And in here nobody will notice it who I have asked for help from. There is quite clearly a different sentiment to my thread vs this.

    Cheers for that
