    Test of the state of the club... You believe Bowyer going or staying is the litmus test. ... You seriously having a laugh? Seriously you believe your own shite you have wrote their?

    We need to appoint someone who can keep us in the league next season. This squad will really struggle in league 2.

    Spot on, When you take the loanees and short term end of season deals from our squad what is left is frightening, Highly paid as well

    Yes.

    A lot to be resolved. Reeves/Wright/Riley/Scannell wages would go a long way in L2 to give us a more balanced squad.

    I honestly can’t believe that some people are wanting us to change manager yet again. Bowyer should be offered a deal for next season now

    I don't think some people realise just what a precarious position we are in when we drop. As you said, when the loanees and short termers are gone we are left with a rag tag bunch of overpaid individuals, none of them who i care to see stay at the club. Worst squad of players put together to resemble a team i've seen in my time supporting City.

    Cos he has only just got the job and has a good tracks record and deserves a fair crack. Stop being a big baby cos we lost yesterday and he didnt pick a team YOU wanted and get the result you thought we had a right to get.

    Bowyer didn't help himself with his bizarre tactics and squad choices but to be fair to him he's only been here a week or two, he doesn't understand yet just how bad a squad of players he has at his disposal. Neither did all the other managers that have been here until it was too late. No manager could turn this utter shambles around, the warning signs have been there all season, fundamental problems that are impossible to fix because of what happened in pre season. I would have quite happily ended our season weeks ago as it has been inevitable we would go down as soon as February 1st came around. We are bottom for a reason, that reason it is we are the truly the worst team in the division.

    Well will ignore the childish baby comment as immature, He was sacked at Blackburn for failing then appointed assistant at Blackpool before taking over a decent squad and getting them to the play offs and promotion, He then resigned at Blackpool after the team struggled, His track record is a poor win ratio as a manager and of course no one else employed him for a long time until we came along, It is not just my opinion on team selection it is most of the fans who went to see us at Oxford where he played players out of position and in a formation that was playing for a point in a game we needed to win, We need as a club to get better than him

    Its a good point, the one thing that got us out of the dire khazi league after all those seasons was Nahki Wells. Without him we would never have got out of the division. I'd feel a tad better for next season if we weren't stuck with a lot of this seasons shite for next season. I don't think there is any of the contracted players that i want to see here next season.

    Agree Bowyer probably doesnt quite realise what a bunch of has beens he has got.

    Billy Clarke was turning/turned garbage when we somehow offloaded him last time so why on earth would we want to re sign him at such a critical time woth time running out. He was not gonna offer anything to the squad. And the rest that came were shocking too, thanks Hopkin.

    His win ratio is good, especially at two clubs that were classed as basket cases during his tenures. How can he left a struggling Blackpool? He left at the beginning of the season due to off the field problems. As for not been employed for a long time, how do you know nobody wanted him? Might have been waiting for the right opportunity, he commented he'd had several offers during his period of inactivity. Could have been his own choice to wait for the right opportunity.

    Won't be popular for posting this but can't see another option other than Mr Rupp investing millions (which I can't see happening)
    Admin is the only way to completely clear the decks of deadwood giving the new owners who would be able to buy for a knock down price a completely blank canvass
    Very harsh on Mr Rupp and I genuinely feel sorry for what he has been left with perhaps more due Dilligence on his business partner would have prevented this

    Bowyers win ratio is around 36%, McCall's who was sacked had a win ratio of nearly 46%, We need better

    Not sure but think TUPE employment law may mean the new owners would have to keep the players under contract at the club or buy them off, @Dennis@Dennis is the expert on this

    Phil Parkinsons win ratio was 36% during his spell as our manager. Next question.
