    We are stuck mate, Rupp wont budge on his asking price apparently and no sign of takers on the horizon which with the potential of the club surprises me, something dosent seem right.

    If City fans want this club to improve then as I have been saying for years.

    Get Sparks out!! Get Rupp out!

    But no.. City fans are just weak!

    If you don't fall into the weak City fan category, please go ahead and get rid of Rupp and Sparks, or at least tell us how?

    Can’t be done by 1 fan.

    we have 16k fans at home games and 1-3k fans at away games. Every game we should be signing, having banners up we want them out but no!

    Too many compliant fans that follow us. Fans that go because they just want a day out and can’t think of anything better to do.

    Parkinson saw the new owners for what they were back then.
    One of our greatest achieving managers and they wanted him out!
    He left and never looked back, went to a club with debts galore at the time, just to get out

    Since they took over the club has been in limbo with no direction whatsoever.
    People say they are providing a budget but thats not running a club.
    Absent owners allowing day to day running of club by clowns is a poorly run business in any industry.

    Don't talk wet. You have had years to organise all those things you mention but you are like Lord Lucan-no where to be seen.

    I have had managers like you -do as I say not as I do type- Pass the buck etc etc

    Did you join in with the protest earlier this year? No of course you didn't.

    Stop calling fans out unless you are prepared to follow your own advice.

    I recognise that you have been saying this for years. That should have been sufficient time for you to have come up with just one way to resolve the problem facing our club. Unfortunately I don't recall having read any of your possible solutions.

    You have everybody's attention once again.

    What particular ideas do you have to 'get Rupp out'?

    What particular ideas do you have to 'get Sparks out'?

    We're all ears for your ideas

    Pointless to even answer this. We have the weakest fans in football. We did a protect that last 1 game. It only took the owner to write a bullshite letter for it stop and guess what it turned out to be a lie.

    A lie to the fans and it’s like ok, let’s carry on.

    16k mugs and yes I must be one of them.

    Ah, so you admit now that you have done as much as the rest of us have then and you put yourself in the same bracket as the rest of us.

    You still haven't confirmed whether you signed the letter that went to Rupp or attended the protest have you?
    Probably because it was neither!!!

    Well some of you only go because you are bored and have nothing better to do.. most of you just don’t care what happens to the club really. I do!

    Needs more than my voice.

    This club is an embarrassment!

    Only 1 way to get rid of Mr Rupp and his faithful band of followers is to starve him of cash
    Messrs Sparks Sharpe Gent and Alexander wouldn't last a month under an interested, driven owner
    Whilst fans fund his "train set" (and he doesn't have to)no way will he sell he doesn't need to but he will wait for the unlikely miracle we are challenging at the top end of the championship then the value of his investment increases to match his over inflated valuation
    As you say mate we are stuck and long standing fans are losing interest at an alarming rate
    Going to take something very special at season ticket renewal time to even maintain this season's take up

    I know a few long standing supporters on here including myself have given up our season tickets mate but we dont seem to making that bigger impact sadly but has you say come season ticket renewal time iff things stay the same it could turn out very differently, they needs to be a complete clear out from top to bottom at the club for it to move on that includes Mr Teflon Sharpe, more pressure is needed on Rupp and hopefully he'll drop his asking price sooner the better for me, STARVE HIM OF CASH.

    What the senior management and owner don’t realise but they will is this. We have lost trust in their management of our club. Couple that with the incessant lying that takes place. Then we have the long spells of silence to count on when the inevitable hits the fan.

    We are now in a situation where we have a manager who has no idea what is his best team is and thinks at this level all footballers can double or triple up and move into any positions he wants.

    His job is safe as thanks to once again poor management of this club they are in no position to recruit another manager. Plus good applicants are non existent as they don’t want to be dragged into this mess either.

    Whats the point ?‽???
    Did you not see the protests last year and how they where mocked because the bullshiiters running the club came out with a false statement yet again to get folk by onside.

    Unless the fanbase are united as one then frankly these loons will bullshit for years to come because thousands of suckers believe what shit they come out with.

    I mean in all honesty what has changed from this season to last after they said itwasnt good enough ..........nothing fookall the same old patern that has gone on for years is still going on :(

    Honestly the game was on in my local and i couldnt be arsed with it and thats what Rupp and co have caused.

    We have all been when the club didnt have a pot to pee in but at least you knew it was being run to the best of its abilities but this fooking lot are fooking shocking.

    You look at the league and i bet without looking the majority of teams will have a lower budget thanours and year upon year we get done by these teams year upon year
