    You think he's acted professionally but there's only a handful of people who really know.

    Either way, it'll all go quiet and never be heard of again so we'll never know!

    But if he was using it as leverage wouldn't he absolutely want it to go public?

    Never mind, everyone will cheer up when we get some more wins on the board. Bottom line, winning matches stops everyone thinking about owners and managers, tis true.

    The reality is that Rupp cannot prove his version of events because it's impossible for him to prove that he hasn't had a phone call, e-mail, zoom or face to face meeting so today's public statement is probably as much as he can give to fans to show that his side of the story is the truth. It took Wagmi less than an hour to respond to Rupp's initial statement and it should be very easy for them to prove their version of events because they'll obviously have all the corespondence etc but unfortunately they're not moving as quickly to set the record straight this time so we'll just have to be patient...

    Bottom line is, Stefan is a very rich man and the owner of our club. If he is serious about elevating us into higher leagues he must invest more money into the cause than he has hitherto done. Starting in the January window.

    That reminds me, what happened in the end with the legal action over BRE getting stopped by the police in Walmley?

    I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a player and whether he is she did or did not play for Bradford City

    A slight understatement there. Being openly and publicly called a liar is a bit more than having hurt feelings. In fact I would say what WAGMI said in their statement is bordering on libel if you take the literal meaning of libel.eg a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.

    Don't forget Rupp has other business interests and news travels fast on t'interweb. I too would be looking for redress in this matter forming at least a public apology.

    True, but don't assume that the absence of any further action infers guilt on either party. These kinds of things often just evaporate and are not heard of again.

    If you're asserting that something didn't happen not being able to offer proof as to whether it did happen or not would seem preferential in my eyes.

    Arsenal have just been told to remove and not repeat a number of adverts/articles on their website and Facebook pages about them due to breaching advertising rules

    Like 50% of forum content perhaps?

    Anyway back to basics…without reading 90 pages of guff….what’s happening with this alleged
    “ takeover” . Is it all wishful thinking, smoke and mirrors pub talk ?

    A sentence will suffice before I hibernate and wake up to the news that we have been taken over by Donald Trump.

    Merry Xmas to you and your loved ones forum members.
