    Perhaps having a disinterested owner and hopeless CEO contributes at 50% or more? They are the only consistent element in our continued failure. Out now I say.

    Nothing will change in the immediate future imo. Throwing a few quid at a couple of new players will be more money spent badly.

    The club needs a change of direction, a new philosophy and some real, tangible ambition. It will take more than a couple of new players or even a new manager to change things. And I really doubt with Rupp and/or Sparks in situ that there will be sufficient change .. just a few more 'fine words' and false promises.

    I'm done i think. Never go to boxing day games anyway to spend the day with the family but even so, I'm not going to see that shower again until there's change.

    We need Rupp out. A new owner will see through Sparks, and hopefully want a new manager, so that clears all three major problems we have.

    Whats the most effective way of getting Rupp out asap????

    They have our ST money for the year though don’t they. Its only when ST renewal comes around that they’ll get the message.

    They started to cack themselves last year but the late upturn in results rescued the sales figures because we are all addicted mugs and wanted more punishment this year.

    do fear this is Rupp’s last chance though. He promised investment and doesn’t seem to have delivered. This could be his goodnight Springton moment. No encore next year.

    It's only going to happen if we all stick to our promises not to renew and not get suckered......again. Meaningful change has to happen first, not false promises. Continuing to be weak and renewing will just continue to see our club decline further, if that is currently possible. Rupp will not let his investment fail so once ST sales stop propping things up he will get the message. Stay strong folks

    I posted similar musings on another thread, so this is a question to veryone not just @Rhino66@Rhino66 . Let's say there is a massive support for not renewing, what is the minimum requirement from Rupp / the club to persuade people to renew? We all want Rupp to sell but that might not be realistic before next season even if he wants to.

    The minimum requirement is for SR to invest in the squad, including paying off the dead wood like VO.

    However equally importantly is for him to take a proper interest in the club so he realises there are inept people in certain positions and to realise there is increasing fan dissatisfaction with the club as a whole.

    He is an invisible owner who is not in the real world where BCFC is concerned

    If he came out and put Sharpe in charge of football matters shifted Sparkes away from the football side .........get rid of the recruitment side who have probably wasted millions on shit that would be a good start.
    Imagine going to work and being as bad as Gent is and getting away with it ?????
    It simply wouldnt hsppen

    I agree and have but, you will get many on here saying we just go bust if we stop going.
    They are entitled to their way of thinking but, by keeping going you are only funding a sinking ship.

    Thing is with that lot they are clearly being taking for mugs and cannot see it ............what is the worst thst can happen enough us about to stop us going bust even if its at a lower level.
    Sorry but these blatant lies this running of a club by complete morons needs to stop and its time everyone saw it .....,.......the happy clappers can go on about us hurting the club but they dont realise that three people are doing it anyhow.

    Stop funding lies ffs

    I don't know if we would go bust or not. I very much admire how you have stuck to your guns - it can't be easy when you're a City fan at heart. So I suppose the same question to you. What would be the absolute minimum requirement to get you back?

    Former players again on Twitter querying exactly what is going on with the club-which I’m surprised doesn’t get more coverage.
    It’s a real stick or twist with GA (I’m of the opinion twist-not seen enough positives), if he gets this window and ballses it up then we’re stuck with more deadwood we can’t shift on.

    I think unfortunately the club will stick with him and he’ll be gone around March when the playoffs are mathematically impossible

    I reckon he will be given until after the Christmas and New Year fixtures to improve performances, get some points on the board to keep us in touch with the play offs. If that doesn't happen, then I think even Rupp & co will have lost patience by then.
