Capt Admin to the rescue.How many admins has he been responsible for? Is it two or three? I forget but I do remember at least one of them wasn’t necessary. There’s plenty of ludicrous comparisons with 2000 so we’ve got a boil in the bag excuse for the next twenty years. In 2034, when we’re still languishing in the bottom league McKeown will put out a piece on instruction that details how the effects of Edin Rahic are the reason we’re still shit and the comments will read, ‘another timely and excellent piece, Jason...’. Really enjoyed the comparison to Red Adair though.

“He also will not bring someone to the club who will take it backwards where it has been in recent years”.
Same promise that he made before he sold to Edin then. Great nothing to worry about.

Aye, let’s trust the judgement of a guy who sold out to a madman and managed, in his entire tenure, to get one managerial appointment right. Sounds like a plan.

Rhodes is a legend.
Pushed out Gibb, who could genuinely have taken us forward, with a manufactured admin and sold us to a couple of wank stains - one a lunatic and the other a clueless buffoon with no interest.

It's almost like they've had one big zoom call to write the agenda....

It's all a bit pathetic really.

Not finding much positivity here, it’s people like you who are turning me away from the club I love- that WE all love, #bantamsfamily.

I wonder where we’d be now if Gibb had won out in the power struggle rather than Red Adair.

Once Rahic had gone the only people who could have put the club in administration were Rupp and Biggin as directors or Clydesdale Bank who have a floating charge over the club’s assets.
Clydesdale Bank would only do it if Rupp wouldn’t underwrite any borrowings. Biggin is unlikely to do so and if the debt is only to Rupp, he’s not going to do it either because either the debt is only to him or, if it isn’t, he risks somebody else making a better offer to the creditors and him losing money. So what has Rhodes saved the club from? He’s saved Rupp from putting more money in, that’s my take on it.

Someone who actually gave a shit about the club would have put his own money in, instead of just buying the assets on the cheap as an investment for his family trust. I've no time for Rhodes, but the idea Gibb is better? Nah.

But even if Gibb is an asset stripper it still wouldn’t mean we’d be worse off under him considering we’ve been stripped of all assets under Rhodes.

More state controlled propaganda from the clique, Rhodes's dick must taste like lindor chocolate.

I don't think we'd be any worse, I think we'd still just be bumming around in the khaki league with an owner unable or unwilling to put any money in. As for the idea Rhodes saved us this time, also no. Edin was batshit crazy and a total moron, but at least he had ambition. Rhodes doesn't. It's a shame, because his dad had ambition.

He might pose for a more up to date picture for the T&A though.

What does a CEO of a football club actually do? I thought all our debt was owed to Rupp, surely we’d have only gone into admin if it was Rupp who decided to call in the debt and not put any more money in?
Unless he’s saying Rhodes convinced Rupp to not pull the plug. But the fact Rupp has declined offers from buyers makes me think it’s unlikely he’d have done that anyway, he’s clearly not prepared to walk away without getting some coin back.
He could be waiting for a while.
