    Sam Allardyce???

    I think we will probably look at someone like Paul Heckingbottom.

    Was Sparks that involved with that decision?

    17 days between contract extension and sacking would suggest we haven’t learned much

    I’d quite happily take him, although I think he will know he can do better when other clubs start pulling the trigger which usually happens around this time in a season.

    Just seen the news as been reffing this morning, so disappointed for Stuart but perhaps best for his health and future wellbeing as he bleeds this club and we could hear yesterday how he was feeling it. Interesting SP has indicated the extension was going to be based on results and that SMc might not even demand the finance from the new terms - time will tell.
    For now I am just disgusted at the feeble efforts of our so called professional footballers and I hope they are bloody ashamed of themselves this morning - they are not fit to lace the boots of Stuart (the player) and I hope they are told in no uncertain terms by the fans and the new manager (when he is in place). If we never saw some of them again it would not be too soon for me.
    Just had a text from a scout I know that he has heard 'in the wires' the club has someone in mind, and hopefully things will be sorted by later next week (wouldnt tell me who before you ask)

    Considering we are asking for applications and extended McCall's contract I doubt we have someone in mind.

    I think you'll find they have to advertise and interview at least one BAME candidate

    Sorry it hasn't worked out for Stuart but as some have said,
    his health is more important than the obvious stress he was
    under. His comment of "if he is still here" probably had more
    substance than just an off the cuff remark.

    Sarcasm came into his pitch side remarks to the players during
    yesterdays game. Shouting at BRE to get a head on crosses and
    then pulling him off when their 2nd goal went in. BRE needs to go.

    Shouting "does anyone want to score a goal !" I think he knew
    the players were not responding.

    No good anyone going down to Apperley Bridge Monday to ask
    the players if they are behind him. I don't think they were but
    don't know why.

    So, will the club go down the easy predictable route? Have they
    someone lined up? If the former is the case maybe Parky is on
    the way. However, expecting previous success to be replicated
    is unlikely, it doesn't work that way. Would Parky consider it or
    prefer a family Xmas instead? Whatever happens we HAVE to get
    this right. Sparks will be judged on this.

    It's standard policy to ask for applications also gives the impression we are looking for the best candidate
    Has yours gone in yet

    The club appear to be doing the right thing by asking for applications which is good news imo compared to how we handled the last apointment process. Hopefully, we'll find out quickly and get somebody in who can run his eyes over the squad and be on the front foot before the transfer window opens. But time is in short supply.



    psst Go on, get him to tell us who the favourite is. I promise I'll keep it to myself ;)

    His 'style' of football is not suited to our current squad at all. We need someone who will be able to get the best out of the current lot as well as bringing in 3 or 4 new players for the spine of the team. That is not Parkinson, although who that is I've no idea.

    Last time it was clear we had someone in mind. McCall. This time I don't think we do.

    Ha Ha I might put it in.

    Every time we sack a manager there are always some people who say no one will want the job and we'll need to make do with a cheap option, but every time we always seem to get plenty of applicants and experienced managers throwing their hat in the ring. There will be plenty of options to choose from. As for some of those already suggested:

    Paul Hurst - not for me. We've already appointed one manager who failed at Scunthorpe.

    Sol Campbell - no thanks. He wanted Macclesfield wound up because they owed him £182,000. Surely a man of his wealth would rather lose £182k than see a club go bust.
