    Not sure I can do with another summer of every Twitter rumour being taken as gospel. Drives me nuts.

    People don't just 'bugger off on holiday' when they're 'not working'.

    Oh, wait.

    I blame it on Hopkin ........... HE was the one who sanctioned an extended break post New Year (Shrewsbury playing in FA Cup), DH forgot to tell them when to come back ..........

    Well I imagine if talks are ongoing, they won’t be at VP, and kept tightly under wraps. It would make life for our manager almost impossible. We don’t want to present our club as unstable.

    That'll take a lot of convincing.

    I have no doubts that talks will take place and the club will be sold before the season starts

    You'd better get used to it. There's another 3 months to go before the new season starts!

    It's not long ago that the rumour was that Rupp was on the verge of putting the club into Administration. The next was that he has already put millions of his own money into the club to fill a huge black hole. And now he is rumoured to be selling the club for squillions of pounds to somebody or other. And I guess it won't be long before there is another rumour from the twitter world of something else involving the future of our club. But surely all of these rumours cannot be true?

    I know where my money would be if I were a betting man ... although I suspect the selling price will be a long way off some of the nonsense being discussed!

    TheI think the ideal scenario would be Rupp holding on to the majority with someone taking a percentage holding similar to what Edin held. With the possibility of taking more as time goes on

    As I suggested only a few days ago .......... Herr Rupp selling shares at 10 / 20% at a time. ;)
    The only issue being ...... Whom, (or what) would eventually become the majority share holder ? :unsure:
