Rupp & Sparks Out?

Sustainability is the ability to exist and develop without depleting resources for the future. Stop moaning you gits,,,, hot water roooooooools okay

 

Glad he mentioned the failure of the PL and EFL deal of last week. I don't know why more owners don't speak out about it. The deal the PL voted on to give a better flow of funds down the pyramid was still a poor deal from the details for the EFL but a far better one than before and it's better than nothing as Palios says. The Orient owner mentioned it briefly on SSN earlier when talking about the independent regulator.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham & Liverpool are expected, they always vote stuff like this down. But Villa, Wolves, Forest, Palace and in particularly Bournemouth voting it down is a joke. All are recently EFL clubs, some for large parts of the recent past but Bournemouth, a team who had always been a lower league club until they bought their way out L2 to turn their nose up at the rest is a disgrace. Amazed more haven't come for some of these clubs, but I suppose they also don't want to snap at the hand that feeds.

 

Get the stadium back in house and then the problem is put to bed.
I have never understood why they did not attempt to buy the ground whilst purchasing the club.
7 years Rupp has been here, at lets say £7500 per week rent on average over that period £390,000 per year, £2.7+ million. The agreement includes an approx 3% per annum increase, so in 5 years time, if we are still around, the weekly rent will be about £10500, who in their right minds will pay that for an aging stadium.
He would have got a large amount of his purchase price back by now, guaranteed returns for as long as he owns it , an asset when he comes to sell.
Seems like a no brainer to me, and in leaner times like covid, he could have given the club a rent holiday, instead of a directors loan etc.

 

It was interesting to here the minister for sport saying she had real concerns for football clubs at the lower level.
Many in danger of disappearing, sustainability her words. Who would have thought Bradford City, such a forward thinking club.

 

Havn't PWC just taken over the office block in centenary square. Maybe we should be tapping him up.

 

A very small part of it, the rest is just gathering dust.

 

For the love of god Rupp, if you are not selling, then please sack Sparks, Gent and Alexander and bring in somebody like Jewell to run the club for you and appoint his own manager as soon as possible. If not, season ticket sales will be their lowest for over 15 years

 

Ryan Sparks you need to resign first thing the morning.. season tickets renewal will drop because of you.

 

He will never resign mate. Rupp needs to fire him straight after the match instead

 

Is the roof the only issue? @wetherbywhaler should know if a structural engineer has completed a report.

 

We're going down next season with Rupp, Sparks and Alexander at the helm.

 

theres the clear and obvious consultant duo. Jags and Baldwin as transition to sell the club and Redfern in house already as an interim manager.
Jags can sign players for the summer in a system we want to play and get a manager in to do that system

 

And to be fair despite how badly it’s going would you at his age give up a payout?

 

The silence from the clubs hierarchy is deafening from the top of our club. Should we be worried by that after this weeks shitshow?
