    I'd like £10m, in fact, no, I'm not greedy, I'd like "only" £1m. No chance though is there? :joy:

    If he wants a penny over what he bought the club for then he hasn't a hope in hell of selling unless Edin has convinced some other poor sap that he knows football. Imagine if it's Edin and some other crackpot!!

    What gives you the impression an idle Twitter rumour can't generate 100 pages even when dispelled?

    Probably a none story but be careful what you wish for. Yes Rupp has no interest in the club but he has put money in (and taken some back from the McBurnie sale), yes he was dupped by Edin but rightly covered the money from that era and looks, with Rhodes, to be trying to get back on track.

    I would have thought he'd wait a year or 2 until we are fully back on course, with possibly a promotion thrown in to boost his chances of a return on his investment.

    As you know
    Any business owner would sell at the right price
    Everyone starting in business has that thought at the back of their mind
    If the timing is not right then an over inflated price is quoted
    He needs to regain some of his investment and must finance the club
    to a least a top half L1 club to get anywhere near his initial investment back
    Whether he can do this with present club personnel is a different matter

    The quote of £10m has to got to be a load of bollocks, surely?

    Really?! Did you actually simplify this debate on the basis we lost a game to a club on a lower budget?

    What about the times we beat teams on a higher budget?

    Wow, if only the game was that simple.

    Yes, there have been lots of fine words expressed about how Rupp will get behind the club and as Rhodes himself said a couple of months ago, Rupp had pledged to cover the deficit. Note JR's use of the phrase 'pledged to cover' rather than 'has covered'.

    But despite all of these fine words, the reality is that Rupp has put nothing substantial of his own money into club. There is nothing at Companies Hiouse which contradicts this and there is no evidence of any more investment going into the club from Rupp's own pocket. The idea that he has put millions into the club isn't borne out by any hard, tangible evidence.

    If people want to believe otherwise that's up to themselves and are free to share their own hard evidence that this has happened. But as you say, we have received substantial funds already from sell-ons from the Wells move to Burnley, the Wisdom moved to Derby and of course the Wyke sale to Sunderland. And now we have the McBurnie deal which as some have suggested is being paid in instalements. Those instalments are all being paid this season mirroring the deal agreed between the Blades and Swansea.

    If anybody really believes that Rupp has put his own hard cash into the club, let's see some hard evidence to support that, not just interviews from the newspapers. In this area, it isn't sufficient to rely upon supposition and beliefs.

    Extra investment, and changes, but that is all I know on Twitter.

    Surely the whole point of clarifying what is and what isn’t genuine is to query said rumour via a legitimate source?

    Sorry, I just don’t quite get your point.
