    Love him or hate him, Stefan Rupp seemed to enjoy the glory of his first season as owner.

    It then all went awry, and his buddy Rahic left in disgrace.

    But since then, Stefan has steadied the ship, and the appointment of Mark Hughes has guided us back to the right path.

    Given how poor we were last season, I can't possibly see this one as any sort of failure.

    Let's say we get to Wembley - do you think Stefan Rupp will make a public appearance, and would you be happy for him?

    Part of me wouldn't blame him for never wanting to see a City fan again, and the feeling will be mutual from some...

    Nice.

    Do you think he'll take to the pitch, or are those days behind him?

    I don't think that's his thing, do you?

    I think Rupp has done a good job overall. Hopefully he does celebrate with the team and the fans if we're successful

    You mean 'since Rahic left', right?

    Because overall, no, he has not done a good job lol

    He’s been at the last two home games as far as I know. Definitely at the Gills game, had a beer with him after so I expect he may be back again next week.
    Before all the negativity comes I can say he has far more contact and input than some May imagine BUT he has Ryan Sparks and what is now a very solid and successful team around so no need to be looking over shoulders all the time.

    A little dent to that solid team based on yesterdays ticketing issues and upsetting a number of MR season ticket holders.
    Maybe Mr Rupp could remind RS via "input", to communicate accordingly with a number of disgruntled supporters. Communication, is key.

    How is it his team's fault that Midland Road fans are annoyed because they can't read the T&Cs. They know they have to move for cup games and the playoffs. Stop whining. He's done a good job and those who say he hasn't are probably just jealous of Rupp and his wealth

    We don't have to move for the play offs. All previous play off matches I have been able to buy my seat in Midland Road. The EFL play off rules state that City had to provide 2000 tickets to Carlisle. They could have done that without moving anyone. It was a conscious choice by the club to piss off 3,000 season ticket holders for no good reason.
    So no, I won't stop "whining" and I am not jealous of anyone's wealth thanks. You have no idea about my personal circumstances or beliefs

    What a ridiculous thing to say. If you had any brain capacity at all you would know that the MR fans are used to being moved. How they have been removed on this occasion and why is the problem.

    We were a top end league one side when he took over.

    Cracking job.

    We have gone from the verge of the Championship to a club struggling to get out of the 4th tier.

    I've nothing against Rupp personally, however it amazes me how such a successful businessman could let a virtual stranger loose with his money and set our club back 10 years .

    I'm grateful for his backing this season and slowly but surely the club are getting the fans back Onside again.

    Success he has not been though

    He does post some crap, jealous of his wealth, like it of not under his ownership he has over seen us go from a Championship chasing team to a lower league two football club.
    Let's hope he is dancing at Wembley that would suggest he's got us back on the first rung of the ladder back.
