    I've already answered that question @Loyalbantam@Loyalbantam, the last comment was sarcasm as I think you know, we should never forget the **** that got us where we are at the moment.

    This question has already been addressed:

    "The overspend from last season was £2M. We're receiving £3M from the Mcburnie sale which would be enough to cover last season's deficit and provide an increased budget this season.

    Even if it doesn't cover every single penny, £3M is enough to seize control of the situation, make the debt manageable and not require Rupp to urgently dip into his pocket."

    Now l may well be wrong, but is there any evidence as to the process and timescale of the transfer of this sum? I thought that these were usually phased over a period of time, perhaps three seasons?

    As I said to Jon, If all the reports are wrong and Rupp has indeed covered the debt through his own pocket then I look forward to a £3M investment in the squad. :thumbup:

    Our budget wasn't reliant on the Mcburnie sale but it's still the Mcburnie money that's funding it. This makes praise for Rupp's financial commitment misplaced as it's so far been non existent. When he does actually dip into his pocket THEN I'll thank him. At the moment all he's done is use millions generated from the club to payoff off 2 season's worth of monumental overspending- both self inflicted. How do I know all this? It's what the club have told us. There are several articles available which reveal our debt, this season's budget and tell us exactly where the Mcburnie money is going. You're just not having it though. You're hellbent on arguing against genuine, tangible evidence so you can spout your slightly more romantic narrative of Rupp pumping millions into the club despite not having a single thing to back it up.

    Rupp said he would cover the overspend debt, He never said he would repay it, As one of our members who is well in to the club accounts posted there has been no extra investment recorded to show he has put extra money in, He simply guaranteed it to the banks in the hope the club not himself would be able to settle the loss in the future, As has happened that is what has happened with the McBurnie money now used to do that with a little bit extra for the club or himself,
