Most liked posts in thread: Stefan...WOAP

You know you've lost the room when WOAP comes out against you.
There can be no doubt now that the fan base has totally turned against Rupp and Sparks.

 

He ignored all the other letters.
He’ll just ignore this one as well.

 

Sparks is the issue but unless Rupp accepts that and does something about it, he is also the issue.

 

Definitely true.

Baldwin has billionaire American backers and I heard them discussing it as we all ordered from the self-service ordering kiosk in McDonalds. I could tell they were billionaires because they were American and had nice shoes.

One of them then said "sssssssssh we've signed an NDA, let's go continue this discussion in a hotel lobby instead."

 

Not to come across as too much of a defender of Rupp because he’s far from perfect but we should be careful what we wish for. Everyone wanted Lawn and Rhodes gone because we needed new investment and things had gone stale. Rupp came in to much fanfare and now look where we are. Look at other clubs like Bury, Reading, etc. who have had disastrous owners.

I would be more keen to see Sparks replaced with an experienced football CEO. For me that is the major issue at the club. Someone who knows what is needed and will advocate on behalf of the club to Rupp to invest in the areas that need funding. Getting rid of Rupp doesn’t necessarily solve anything, and could potentially make it worse if the wrong person were to buy him out.

 

Won't make a blind bit of difference. Rupp out.

 

It’s the arrogance that’s the worst.
Knowing they are there but not accepting them is the major issue people have.

Getting a lackey to go get them and then just throwing them in the bin would have been preferable to completely ignoring their existence.

 

Cant really knock many of the words in the article. I think WOAP is so much better when articles aren't solely based on sitting on the fence. They've had a lot of stick in the past about being too neutral which I totally get, because if you always look for the middle group when writing conversational starting posts, you don't really end up standing for anything and your message gets lost.

But when they write things that go one way or the other, it comes across more in the piece and it's far more engaging. Pretty much exactly what most fans want to say to Stefan. Will he ever read it is another question?...

 

And to what end all this hiding and doing nothing?

What do they think is going to happen?

How do they expect things to magically improve?

It doesn't even make sense.

 

My mum used to have a saying, often when I wasn't listening to her:

"I might as well go and talk to the man in the moon."

I get the distinct impression that Rupp will pay as much heed to that article as he did to the supporters letters package.

Unfortunately, we're rapidly reaching the point where the 'play nicely and be respectful' approach isn't going to cut it. We can't be expected to just continue with reasoned and reasonable approaches when they appear to be falling on deaf ears.

 

Lol...had to read that twice!! Thought you were referring to Napalm at first

 

Ooh, here comes another questionable rumour from a very new poster. It's becoming a thing.

 

Opening Salvo. Get it up to £6million and Rupp will be off to renew his other career as ABBA's main song writer.

 

Tell me what they ordered at Maccy D's and I might believe you. I've got DB down as a double sausage & egg mcmuffin man (on a meal deal).

 

They'd just missed the cut-off point for breakfast orders so it caused a bit of a commotion, the Americans ordered large Big Mac Meals and DB was heading to spoons to get the all day breakfast instead.

 

A bantams thing

 

He will, most likely.

To be fair, it's not really in question anymore whether Rupp is a coward or not.

I don't think anyone is wondering.

If actions speak louder than words, then his silence and inaction are deafening.

 

If you didn’t know better you would think you were dealing with children who had been caught in the biscuit tin.
