    People are starting to message Stefan on Instagram to find out what the hell is going on. Whether you think that is right or wrong, things are moving towards protests/unrest which Stefan can no longer ignore.

    Looks like he's trying to, hasn't he already blocked someone?

    IIRC it was @Dennis@Dennis who said ER SportsGroup had a €300k income.

    Yes he blocked someone who sent a fairly courteous message. More have messaged since by looks of things.

    What does he consult on
    - how not to finance and recruit a decent squad fit for purpose; or
    - Alienate a fan base; or
    - taking a club down to and keeping it in League 2.

    I think so, but it’s not been discussed much on here.

    Great another club who weren’t in non league that long ago miles ahead of us now to go with the likes of Luton.

    Sadly realised this after checking Twitter when the takeover was rumoured

    "They could become disinterested and end up letting us rot while they take money out!", just like Rupp :joy:

    We're captive to Rupp and his legion of happy clappers. Regardless of your views on the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies or NFTs, surely anyone can admit the WAGMI lot being insulted for wanting to take us back to the premier league was just absurd.




    Then there's the most ridiculous article I've ever read that part of me believes has to be some sort of paid hit piece: Bradford City takeover attempt: Owner of a not so lonely heart (widthofapost.com)

    If Rupp, who for the last 5 years has seen us decline CONSTANTLY, who is everything his loyalists projected WAGMI to be, faced the same level of criticism and contempt that was given to WAGMI, he'd have fecked off and we'd be in a far better position now. It's just a complete mystery to me that some people will say "well we could be Bury and he covered the debt Edin built", watch the Carlisle game and be mad that we're shit, then actually expect some sort of investment in January when it's fairly obvious we're going to sign a load of crap like every other window. It's time to boycott games and ANYTHING that makes him owning us worthwhile.

    HE'S STILL HERE. NOTHING IS CHANGING. WE HAVE GONE BACKWARDS. AGAIN.

    Bitcoin plunged below $40k for the first time in 6 months as a sell off hit the digital currency market.

    Cryptocurrency went down 11% yesterday as investors rushed to dump their holdings.

    Confidence amongst Cryptotraders has taken a hit and appeal of bitcoin has significantly reduced recently.

    Russia's Central Bank plans to ban the use of cryptocurrency.

    Have we dodged a bullet with the Cryptocurrency geeks?

    We’ll never know, it was a large consortium and I’d be surprised if they didn’t have other investments other than just Crypto between them.

    Whether we dodged a bullet or not is irrelevant as Rupp has been a loaded gun for this club let alone a bullet and a few wins won’t change that. Until he sells or puts some long terms plans and investment in place he’ll be a danger to the club. Hopefully Adams can turn us around on the pitch and Sparks can keep us ticking over off it, because we’re self reliant now. We may as well be fan owned since we only spend what we bring in.

    Me too.

    Why would Rupp need to make a contribution if he was the injured party?

    I was thinking that myself, both sides seemed to act like children playing it out on social media.

    Probably tbh doesn’t make it right, doing business in public like some social media influencer isn’t a smart move imo.

    Fair play to them. As the statement says, time to move on.
