    I’d love to see Rupp out of the club, but he will sell for the price he wants. You or anyone else won’t sell their house for less than you want for it. And it’s the same with a business.

    Also the few M&A’s I’ve been involved in, none of the targets have been ‘officially up for sale’, it’s not like that.

    That's a good reply and closes the situation in my eyes.

    If they are really committed they would be queueing outside the ground overnight the day before it went on sale - none of this doing it electronically or via solicitors/brokers.

    The reaction to some of our results and performances, particularly draws, has been hysterical all season. It's the right word.

    From the beginning there have been knuckle draggers booing every draw at home and I never understood why. If the ref hadn't blown the final whistle just when we were lining up a shot, I'm positive some of those boos would have been directed at the team and manager. His ineptitude saved some embarrassment.

    Then you log on here and words like abysmal awful dreadful hopeless... Those aren't words to describe a draw with Colchester in isolation - that's weeks and months and years of frustration distilled into a single over the top reaction. I can see why anyone at the club would ignore nonsensical reviews of an average performance when it's met with vitriol.

    But... It's overall not good enough and there are no excuses, and as @How@How rightly says, at 3 o clock on a Saturday or 7 45 on a cold winters evening, nobody cares about sustainability, sponsorships or revenue because those clearly aren't at the level required for promotion because we lack quality and it's clear to see. If there's no investment from Rupp, he will be wanted out and rightly so. He has got us into this mess, he needs to be proactive in getting us out of it.

    Fast.

    Depends whether or not they shelled out £30 for a Potential Purchaser Loyalty Card

    I would say if the current owner isn’t really interested in selling at moment it would take a stupid offer to get his attention. Not sure anyone would throw still money at buying the club and then invest more

    How do you know the current owner isn’t interested in selling? Might not have told Wetherby that he is or isn’t?

    They do. Lots and lots of it.

    Unbelievable that Rupp won't even speak to them.

    Don't blame you mate.

    Disgusting how he's drained the club to line his pockets.

    Thankfully the winning consortium will turn it around.

    Do you think they will clinch the deal and get it done ? This is fantastic news if true. Im really fed up with City the worst in my whole life even through the admins.
