    This says it all, “We saw in training that James had no desire to be here. We tried to get him motivated and excited but, having seen him up close, it became obvious we could not have his negativity around the group, and his departure became inevitable". I back the manager if it was so obvious the man was sulking.

    Sparks is a Yes man, just a small time James Mason. Same pointy shoe etc, but at the end of the whaffle has no real input.

    The club will get the blame but this right here is self explanatory:

    Nothing the club can do about that, let’s just hope we get a good replacement in

    We've had more than our fair share of 'having an attitude problem' this last couple of years...

    I always back the manager to get rid of bad eggs Broncs. No one is bigger than the club and all that I agree. But the timing of it all is so bad. It’s laughable and makes us look a joke.
    Speak to him before we all get back. See where his head his. He knew months ago he wanted to be nearer his family but we waited and waited and waited and now try blame him? It’s garbage

    no other club would allow a goal scoring asset with two years left on a well paid contract to leave under 'mutual consent'. no fee gained and we'll have paid up some of his contract to leave.. the whole club is a laughing stock. after the doyle debacle and now this, 91 other professional football clubs know we are a soft touch. be lucky if we get to October with Wood here too.

    Hahahahaahahahahahahahaahaha We've let our best player leave for nothing to a team in the same division who still had 2 years on his contract... You couldn't make this up. We are in a real mess right now.

    for all Rahics failings, did he not get a fee for Vincelot Who we didn’t want at 33 and on half decent money? We are softer than that now. Awful

    Jason mckeown has started now. Has Sparks called them all before hand and asked them to put a positive spin on it?
    Like an episode of the thick of it

    I've already moved on.
    The player forced this move not City's management.
    Bad egg smell will linger of course but once we sign someone the fresh air will return.

    this is the damning quote for me.. "But, as time progressed and we got nearer to returning to training, I sensed negativity from him. Once we did come back, it was clear to see that no part of him wanted to be involved with us."

    if you sense it before training starts, you bring him in first day and sit him down to a simple, "do you want to be here or not?" it was obviously a no, so you get him out asap and give yourself as much of a chance (prior to wage cap vote) to get someone else in. makes a mockery of every other players pre-season interviews about how well they are all gelling together. the club is rudderless and there's not a single person there i'd trust to get this right - that includes McCall.

    It's a total cap not an individual cap, can spent it how we want

    It seems to be a reoccurring theme just recently. Good players coming in and their form either falls off the side of a cliff or they want out after 6 months. Something isn't right and i dont think it just sits at management level.
