    I don't doubt for a minute that that is what you were told, but I just can't believe it. It makes no sense whatsoever. Is £8m his current "stake" in the club? purchase plus subsequent loans? Asking because I don't know

    I’m glad we have an owner not spunking money and putting us in debt but he’s more cuckold than owner which is a problem if we have an ambition other than a reach around

    There's no point, it'll only get cancelled when someone mentions "but we could be ......"

    I’d be more than happy to contribute again, but you are right the club won’t want that type of attention.

    Makes me laugh when that old chestnuts rolled out, as they don't seem to realise if the current circus continues we will be the next......

    3 years on and Rhodes is still having to return to guide the club if rumours are to be believed.

    The situation hasn't progressed at all.

    pretty sure Rhodes is a dodgy fella going by social media but yet width of post will keep crediting him

    thats whats wrong with this fan base, still fans of julian and edin. sad buggers.

    your boy friend roger owen sat next to social media fella sparks on Saturday.

    I still got the recorded clip of Roger spouting off, I know he's on here too.

    Club is a mess from top to bottom

    Hopefully it is taking so long is Rupp selling the club because I don’t believe that a longer process looking for manager from the people who decide at our club will make any difference.

    I like your thinking, cant say much other than the same. The budget thing shocked me as he really made a point in the summer about the money made, to not put what we can back onto the pitch seems very counter productive.

    Almost like success with the clubs operations and this team wouldn't be because of our operating model, but more in spite of it.

    Another spend that rarely gets mentioned is the stadium rent,
    Not on the rise i hope

    I take it that has to come out of the season ticket budget :unsure:

    I think its unfair on Stefan..

    If he putting money in to sort the mess Edin made then fair play.

    I'd want him to be more proactive with our club and us fans. If he was we might have been where we are.
    And fraud wouldn't have got the job for a 3rd time.

    Yesterday I watched the Tranmere Bracket match, and guess who was front and centre giving an honest appraisal of his team?

    The chairman.

    Owning a club then letting bad decision after bad decision take place IN YOUR NAME is not good enough.


    He isn't running the club, simple as that, and right now we need someone running this club.

    There are plenty of owners and investors in business who don't take any active role in running the business, and there are plenty of chairmen in football who are exactly the same.

    The problem is the vacuum in terms of who is running the club on a day to day basis, and yes Rupp is responsible for that.

    Even if we give Sparks the benefit of the doubt on the non-football side of things there is noone with the right skills, knowledge or experience in a senior role on the football side and that urgently needs to be addressed by Rupp if there's noone he can realistically sell the club to.

    Jenkins in by January.

    I want to hear Jenkins say he doesn't want the club before we let that go.

    I don't want the guys at the club saying no, I want him to say categorically no. Then we find a candidate that says yes.
