    I hate the use of the F word put into sentences for no reason. It's a sign of a lack of intelligence.

    No way should anyone pay £10 million, Rupp is asking a silly amount and that’s part of the problem against him. It’s worth a 5th of that when you look at the going rate for clubs who own sod all in the lower leagues, he overpaid and regressed the club, just get real and feck off.

    Mason didn't go anywhere near recruiting players, PP had absolute full reign of the footballing side.

    Clearly he needed board approval but I fully believe that every single player was PP's choice.

    A fairly decent portion of our fans were raising concerns about the raise in ST price by about £30 is it? Getting each fan to pump a few hundred into another pot for a bid wont be happening and rightly so. Not a chance fans could raise that much unless we have a few secret millionaires who like losing money.

    Listened to the podcast once and there was too much swearing on it, specially from Darragh… F this, F that. Not listened to it since.

    I think I have heard enough about what Darragh says. £10 million for City no way.

    He’s probably stirring the pot, he’d be a far better owner than Rupp but he’s still full of his self and comes across as a bit of a Twit.

    Wrexham were bought for £3m but didn't own their ground or training facilities. New owners bought the ground and keep getting knock backs on a new training complex plans, think they said they have spent over £12m on Wrexham since buying it. Carlisle sold for £2.7m it seems (according to their forum), but the new owners also paid off the old owners debts of £2.5m before the deal went through.

    Oldham didn't sell for £10m either, it actually sold for £12m, but £10m of that deal was paying off owed debt it seems after digging into it. So technically, the club price was £2m. He has since bought the ground but cant find any concrete numbers on that.

    I was browsing YouTube the other day when the cringe-fest of a video came up... the documentary, if you can call it that, which features Rupp and he who shall not be named!

    I remember watching it when it was first released and thought it was good. Watching back now, it's awful from the terrible cameras (did we hire professionals for the job because it's like a GCSE project!?) and the cringe of Mason and Rupp.

    What were they thinking!!

    Ha ha. Someone bought me the dvd at the time but still, to this day, have never watched it.

    i know a meme of the clip where rahic was dancing was created though.

    it was all just a vanity project for him wasnt it

    Not a chance. He hasn't even spoken to his new manager yet.

    I watched the DVD when it came out and it wasn’t an easy watch. I looked through my DVDs recently and came across it again - don’t think I could ever bare to watch it again so I binned it. Good riddance.

    Why is a Peterborough chairman even remotely interested in Rupp?
