    Are the Man City fans local???
    Seriously Rupp has in my opinion provided enough for any half decent manager to do a lot better.
    If we have the 5th best budget in this league then it ain’t down to him that we lie in midtable is it ????
    Didn’t he fund Eoin Doyle and Vaughan probably the envy of every club at this level was it down to him that we had a negative Twit who couldn’t suss out that we had two players that could get us 40 goals a season !!!!!!!
    Don’t get me wrong he’s made mistake letting that Twit Rahic have free reign was one of them ........ ....... but he’s provided enough for our last four managers to do something but they’ve failed not HIM they have.

    It’s not mine I didn’t post it on here, just reposted. Sparks has said a lot of things, still waiting for the truth…

    Interested to learn how much of his OWN money Rupp has invested in the club since Rahic left. You suggest its a good chunk. How much, do you know?

    The Forest Green manager is a former England youth team coach, highly rated brought in with a long term vision at their club something we don’t have and that isn’t down to Adams.

    As for Mellon his team have scored far less than us and conceded less, when they don’t win he’s often criticised as being over negative so at least pick a better example…

    How do we know we have the 5th highest budget? Sparks started the season by saying mid table, followed by 7th then quickly followed by 5th highest. As I’ve already been told let’s deal in facts so if it’s not fact leave it out I’d love to see it proves that we have the 5th highest playing budget.

    Adams you can blame for individual games, but you can’t blame him for the mess the clubs in. People on here are in some serious denial, maybe they think it’s because it’s easier to change a manager and stick their heads in the clouds. It’ll take some manager to turn us around as he’ll have to do everything on the football side, within a sustainable budget. Very rare in modern football.

    Can we have proof of this 5th highest playing budget please, don’t believe it Sparks has changed where our budget is 3 times. And I’m not sure he mentions playing budget, most likely includes rents etc on that not a true reflection.

    You've just posted it as fact.

    Provide some evidence.

    Where have I used the word fact? You’re making conjecture there.

    You certainly haven't used the word allegedly.

    You've jumped on the bandwagon, with no evidence. Poor form is that.

    I think anyone with a brain could see a tongue in cheek comment by the ‘fact’ I put I bet he’s getting a nice new car. Poor form putting words in other’s mouths…

    You think the likes of Vaughan,Doyle and Donaldson came in on crap wages ????
    In all honesty I don’t know what he has put in but even if he hasn’t that budget is the 5th biggest in the league and we are being beaten or drawing against teams with far lower budgets is that down to Rupp ????
    We have to live within our means you look at what’s going on at Derby even Sheffield Wednesday where an owner has come in thrown millions at it and been caught out by FFP what happens if he did the same and he got caught out ??? No doubt the folk wanting him to throw millions at it will turn around and blame him for being reckless ........ ..... he can’t win can he ????? Honestly yesterday or in fact the whole season I haven’t been that bothered about Rupp he doesn’t care so what ............. but he yet again has given another manager a competitive budget to do something and they have failed again
    Did Rupp sign Robinson or Lavery ??
    Does Rupp come out and pick on individual players ??
    Does Rupp tell the team to throw long balls into the box that I don’t think have ever worked
    Does Rupp tell all our players to come back when the oppo team have a corner

    keep with the Rupp out campaign though I will concentrate what’s going off on the pitch and that’s not got a thing to do with Rupp

    You've only decided it was 'tongue in cheek' after I've challenged you.

    Why didn't you make a 'tongue in cheek' comment about Sparks totally denying the £300k exists?

    No I believe the £300k per year, but that doesn’t mean I put a comment on here as fact you’re being very hypocritical telling people to deal in facts then making conjecture like that.

    I can’t stand what Rupp has done to this club, or any brain dead fan who is happy for him to carry on as be. I don’t have to prove anything to you or anyone else on here.

    Maybe the same brain dead accusation can be aimed at folk who are blaming him for yesterday .......

    I would be firmly in the Rupp out campaign if its proven he has not invested his own money into trying to move the club out of this god forsaken division.

    The evidence you require is in the accounts of the German holding account. Get a hold of a copy of their accounts, work out how much Rupp's own investment company is charging the holding company for the original €6m investment, take that away from another number. The result is about €300k which is unexplained income for the holding company from its one and only investment. It can only have come from one source.

    The amount of the transfer to the German company is not disclosed in either set of the club's accounts since the club chooses to publish the barest set of financial accounts. If the club produced full accounts, a payment like that to an associated company such as the holding company would have been disclosed. It was also confirmed on here by somebody with close connections to the club when it was described as a monthly management or service charge of €27k pm.

    Will that suffice?

    The thing is with FFP it’s never that easy :( you look at Wrexham now ........... they are basically trying to buy league two now before they’ve got here because they know that once they hit our league then they won’t be able to do spend the money they are doing now ......... honestly I would love a multi millionaire to come out of the shadows and lavish us with millions of pounds but it ain’t gonna happen if we are gonna get taken over it will be more likely a David Simpson type who ain’t got a pot to pee in and is gonna have to rely on the club making its own money :( and tbh so what if it’s that way rather have it that way than some loon whose gonna blow money for money and leave us in the lurch :( folk should think back to 2002 and how the actions of one man are still causing us issues to this day aka the ground and it’s rent

    Let’s only deal in facts don’t want to upset Hudders, who has specifically said that yesterday was his fault? Everyone who is criticising Rupp has been consistent for months if not years, try see beyond your nose this is much bigger than yesterday. But it’s clear yesterday’s type of games have been happening the last 4 years regardless of manager, go figure… ??!!?

    I don't really care either way.
    However, Sparks says different. Have you made Sparks aware because he will walk if Rupp is taking money out?
    Sparks was pretty adamant no money was being taken out of the club.
