    Only have to look at records since they took ownership of respective clubs. We are going down. His club is going up. Took time for them but worked.
    We are going no where

    They could be wound up the last I was reading.
    We are starting next season with a new manager and squad and an owner we know wont lose his investment choice of the two Rupp for me.

    I think the other owners would step in. They wouldn’t be wound up. It’s not a great look I agree but we are going no where fast at the minute. No real plan. No investment in the infrastructure. Just a promise to plug the gap this season

    Their problem is no one knows who actually owns it. So when you say other owners it is tricky.

    Do you try to encourage your car wash employees to be the best or do you constantly have a go at them?

    Was it Lee Power who was involved in a road rage type incident whilst he was at City?
    Or have I confused him with someone else?

    Sure I recall it going to court and he (or another player) chased a motorist in his car and it ended up in fisticuffs. Or something like that.

    Use of imagination should be discouraged, IMO.

    We're living in a world where Bill Gates has become a boogeyman, where a naturally occurring virus that has naturally occurred many times MUST have been leaked from a lab, where 5G mast towers either spread the 'Rona or are inherently dangerous to people on a cellular level, where 5G itself is believed by some to have been the very same thing as a previously engineered weapon of war, and where some think Leeds United will be able to survive in the Premier League.

    I've had enough of imagination for one lifetime.

    Lee contracted M. E. as far as I recall. This is known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its effect is exactly what it says. No energy, some days can't move or get out of bed. I had a friend who had it, off work for several months then it slowly cleared. Don't think the medics really understood it at the time.
    If you recall Lee came back but was never the same player, pity because he had ability in my view. Can't remember where he went after us but never the same I think.
    Whenever I've met him, always has fond memories of VP, married a Bradford girl.

    Think he went to Peterborough and then a few Scottish teams before dropping to non league, so a steadily down ward.

    Don't know about his other clubs but didn't he eventually buy Rushden and Diamonds and was involved in some rumpus about the ownership of the ground? The club went out of business I think, although they came back later in another form and think Lee made money on the ground sale, might be wrong but think that was the case.

    Don’t think he owned it, wasn’t he employed by them?

    And some would be happy with him owning BCFC, I'll stick with Rupp.

    Again I don’t think there was an investment, just he was appointed Chairman
