    For that reason he will not walk. Financially makes zero sense. Sparks needs to fire him.

    Exactly, where does the money come from to pay up Adams and his contract?
    From next seasons ticket holders, no thanks.
    From rupp, he likes to take money out not put it in.

    Keep Adams on, well it will be entertaining but for all the wrong reasons, toxic will only be the half of it.
    Sparks will be best off keeping his phone on silent this weekend.

    Have City still not beaten 'Arrogut in the league yet, another local derby lost.

    Get him gone tonight. Absolute joker and should never have been appointed in the first place.

    And that will cost the club money which Rupp won't appreciate!

    It isn't in Rupp's interests. He will be willing to let the club continue to tick over so long as he doesn't have to dip into his own pocket.

    To get rid of Adams requires Rupp to first sell the club.

    Ha ha to be fair I imagine we can all guess:

    - better team
    - didn’t take chances
    - windy
    - look at the xg
    - NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEFEAT WAS MY FAULT!!!!!!

    My problem is as a standalone game we did okay and were a bit unlucky. But this is happening every week and the same issues and we are nearly three quarters of the way through. His changes are abysmal and the leadership and up top guidance is non existent..... something needs to change urgently

    Michael Flynn and Gary jones combo please. Proper football people with an affiliation with the club and fans. Someone that you know will take every point lost to heart. Someone to really galvanize the fans and players is what’s needed. I haven’t yet called for adams to be sacked but this just takes the biscuit. Unfortunately it’s 2 weeks too late now the window is closed, and we have what we have until the end of the season. Get someone in now, assess the current squad where we have an opportunity for a new man to put his stamp on the team in the summer. Please do not give adams the summer to rebuild. He doesn’t have the personality or the skill set to manage Bradford city, and the expectation that comes with it.

    If that’s the case Dennis, Rupp best be prepared for losing a hell of a lot more in the summer when ST sales plummet. Thats me done now until he’s gone.

    if we lose 4,000 fans, say 2500 are adults paying £250 on average and the rest are kids paying £50, that’s £700k in lost revenue.

    Those numbers are guesses to make the point, but we simply cannot afford to lose that many fans but that is exactly what’s set to happen.

    Adams contract can’t be worth as much.

    Literally all of the above.

    He's basically gaslighting the fans with his post-match interviews.

    Agree with this. Today we were unlucky initially. The problem is that Adams has run out of goodwill following a string of like about 20 awful games.

    But but but he got Morecambe promoted blah blah blah. The writing has been on the wall for this club and Adams for ages, all this bollocks about giving him next season. Only problem is if/when we do get rid of him the same problems above him still remain. An owner with zero interest and a CEO who would never have got the job if Rupp and Rhodes hadn't been here.
    Worse off now than under Trueman and Sellars.

    The better side until they scored, the damage being done by not scoring first half as we capitulate in second halfs.

    And then Adams can't make any subs or change the formation to make anything positive happen so it just gets worse.

    Imagine being 2 down and having 5 defenders on and taking off your leading scorer. :joy:

    I'd get on the phone with Sellars and get the duo back. We won games and we played well!

    He's probably lost 3. Unless my kids kick up a massive fuss we're just going to do a few away games next year.

    Due to working nights I never even realised we were playing and only just seen the result. Usually I'd be annoyed at missing a game but I've literally zero interest right now.
