    In theory he could have but who else is he gonna get to employ a manager or a new CEO? He knows no one in the football world and knows little about the game itself. I'll bet Rupp hardly thought about it when the question was put to him.

    Especially, given the history, suspect ‘hardly thought about it’ is perhaps a bit cavalier for someone with X million invested, agree though his football knowledge is zero.

    Rupp was involved in some capacity with the decision.

    Well to be fair he had no idea that Rahic was squandering his millions to a point where someone had to go and tell him what was going on.

    yes back to my original point, he’s terrible at choosing pals.

    Well if the leaking tap that I get my information from is correct (the same tap that told me Sparkes was about to be announced, Stuart had agreed a 1 year extension and the club had been trying to persuade Jewell to come back as a D.O.F) then one of J.R’s objectives in recent months has been to find a buyer for the club. Do you really think the Jenkins link came out of thin air? Jenkins was genuinely interested and had discussed joining as CEO with a view to potentially forming a consortium to buy Rupp out if he thought it was financially viable. When word got out neither party was happy and it’s gone silent ever since. Leaking tap thinks it’s now off the cards.

    Back to J.R, he was allegedly getting more and more irritated to the point that he’d told Rupp that enough was enough and he was leaving. He was talked round into staying a few weeks longer, but made it clear that the end of November was the cut off point.

    I have heard several times that there is / was at least one other potential buyer sniffing (not Jenkins) who are considered genuine, but again it’s gone very quiet. Whether Rupp wants to sell, and sell at a loss is debatable.

    How do we address this?

    How do we get Rupp out and replaced with someone?

    Forget excuses. Not interested.

    Time to move forward with this.

    Who has Rupp’s address? Someone needs to go and tell him that someone is ruining our club again!!!

    Yes I also want him out but realistically that’s not happening any time soon

    Mr Rupp has treated this club like a man who buys a very expensive bike, because he can, then leaves it to rust in the shed because he doesn't want to cycle.

    Just over three years ago we were on the edge of Championship football. We were a vibrant football club, with a passionate and committed fan base, as well as some decent footballers.

    He has run this club into the ground.

    Your investment has gone Mr Rupp. There is nothing of value left while you remain the owner.

    Now that he has been instrumental in running this club down, maybe we should wait for JR to make his bid for Rupp's much reduced investment?

    No. There needs to be a fresh bidder or a consortium with a bit of whollop.

    As fans, we need to be contacting Lawn, Tordoff, the Morrison off spring, anyone.

    My suggestion was very much tongue-in-cheek ... although JR might see it differently.

    I think before any protests, we need to make it clear that this club is for sale to all and sundry - then even if Rupp pretends it's not, it won't be hard to change his mind.

    Do it the other way round and we're scratching around for a buyer without a plan.

    I heard from another source today 8m is the price Rupp is wanting. So same as what others had heard before. Embarrassing. Just f**k off, Stefan.

    He'll sell for whatever when we threaten to embarrass him in Germany.

    isnt that more likely to make him just let us rot as it is obvious the money means nothing to him
