    Aren't Exeter still fan owned? If so I'd imagine they have to be run sustainably.

    I haven't dug into this and don't wish to start researching it but I very much doubt the majority of owners in the bottom two divisions are constantly propping up their clubs with vast sums.

    Think you'd be very much surprised @NorthernMonkey@NorthernMonkey .
    Pre-Covid just about all League 2 club's with losses, and banks certainly won't be propping up 4th tier football post COVID. The dosh has to come from some place ?
    With regards Exeter City. Last account's have an operating loss of £1.5m for 20/21. But made large profit due to sell on clause for Ollie Watkins approx £3.5M. when Villa bought him from Brentford.

    Strong rumour Rupp has found another investor to help him with funds this summer.

    Don’t shoot the messenger he states the chap that’s informed him is usually spot on.

    Not possible, it was only yesterday that @Keefly Bantam@Keefly Bantam reminded us no such investors exist.

    It's important to keep stating there's no way to.improve our situation, be it financially or with regards to infrastructure, hierarchy or training facilities

    Does he need a fellow investor, the man has a wealth of £100m were told, I hope he's done due diligence on this one if true.

    He has the wealth (supposedly) but is apparently unwilling to use it. If he signs up with someone else (reputable and hopefully interested) then he might be encouraged to dip his hand in his back pocket and splash the cash.

    Didn't say that at all. I asked you where they were as we do need more investment to move forwards.

    He's used some of it were told in the past to put Rahic's disastrous tenure right and to balance the books during the pandemic, would an investor come in and put money into a business he doesn't have part ownership, or will it be because Rupp has sold him a % of the club.

    If this investor is true I can only hope that recruitment is left to MH and MH only. I can't stand another season of washed up awful pros.

    Weirdly I don’t think we need more money we just need to spend it much more wisely.

    Fair enough, yes we do.

    I'm not sure what investment we will get, but I'm sure we both agree the more the merrier.

    In fairness, @Fordy117@Fordy117 has always said that he wouldn't 'invest' in football 'cos there's no money in it. He just wants somebody else to do it on his behalf! ;)


    ps I happen to agree with Fordy on the first point at least in the short term

    Here is what I want. I want the players who MH doesn’t need but still under contract paid off or funded until next year. Their wages should not come out of the budget this year. We have to give MH our best shot at a decent budget. I do not want to look at the bench and see those players who played yesterday parked there ready to come on. They have had time to show us what they are made of and failed. Rupp must see the same.

    if we start penny pinching with MH not only will he be picking up another managers failure to get the right players in, it will massively effect his ability to get this club promotion.


    Back room expertise costs money as well, and that has to be factored in. I have invested the most money ever this year in City, no more PR telling us we are going up. It is now time to walk the walk.
    I have supported City since 1967. I have had a Season Ticket since 1995 , all my family have season tickets. Nobody should think they can rely on our ST sales. We have to see expertise at the club as well as investment to match our expectations.
