T&S..... sacked

Player liaison ?? More than half the current squad will never have met her, been on furlough since last March time as far as I know. Think you're wrong there mate.

 

Any truth in the rumour that there was a bust over team selection yesterday hence the change of the team sheet ? If it’s true it shows they’re weak and have lost the dressing room.

 

You’re right he’s not however he will leave at the end of this season no matter what.

He will either resign or a club will pay compo. He’s not staying at Morecambe.

Bradford City really need to stop doing things on the cheap. If Sparks wants Adams then get him. Is Sparks a winner? I have my doubts

 

Is it just me that finds it ironic that those on an 'out' thread casually calling for the contracts of our staff to be disregarded are often fretting about the contract status of target staff.

 

I'm still waiting for him replying to this post :

bust up between the managers or bust up between manager and squad?

 

I’m guessing a revolt from the players left out, saw it on Twitter last night and it could make sense with how dejected the team looked.

 

Poor mans Declan Rice

 

Look, it’s like this. Fans and players won’t be thinking like barring one who lives on a cloud.

It’s great we stayed up but T & S can’t take where we need to be.

 

I was overjoyed at what T&S initially achieved but I think there are massive dangers in sticking with them. They look lost and uninspiring and it is damning on everyone at the club that everyone appears to have switched off about a month ago. As a coach I know one of the easier things to do it to make a team more difficult to beat and T&S received massive credit for achieving this and finding a way to nick results in the early part of their reign. But they and the players have failed massively when an opportunity to really make a mark came their way – I feel for the young managers but their press conferences have become very placid and strange affairs. We need a big shake up now because there are just too many people at VP with a losing mentality, or at least without a winning mentality.
One thing I would really like to ask Ryan is what was the message to T&S and players when we were well away from the bottom and in with a real chance to have a go at the play offs – Ryan wants to be a winner so surely he must have recognised that an opportunity was there but we have just collapsed miserably. If it has just ultimately prove that very few of them are good enough then fair enough but that is why we cannot go into next season with this mentality hanging over the club. Ryan should have no qualms over his decision to appoint T&S – at that point they had more than deserved it by galvanising the club, making us competitive and getting results – but we have been found out once teams realised letting us have the ball and adapting a lower press would mean we had nothing to hurt them. We have shown nothing to overcome this and my view is Ryan needs to follow his ambition and winning instinct (rather than hold his nerve) and do what I am convinced he knows is the RIGHT decision

 

I think the mistake Ryan made was when he changed T&S's job title to interim managers from caretaker managers. I said at the time it was a pointless change and made no sense because essentially, nothing had changed. However,had he changed it to interim managers until the end of the season, it would have made perfect sense and wouldn't have left him with potential egg on his face again in respect of managerial contracts.
I think anyone that is still of the opinion that T&S should remain in their current posts going forward needs to ask themselves if they would still be saying that had they only been contracted to the end of the season. Would they honestly be saying their contracts should be extended into next season if that was the case? Or would they be saying 'thanks for all you did, it is truly appreciated, but it looks and feels like you have taken us as far as you can for the time being so it is time to move on'?

 

Kenny Jackett anyone ? Pretty nailed on to be sacked by Portsmouth today.

 

He isn’t their manager mate. He’s free now.

 

He was sacked about 2 months ago.
Danny Cowley been in charge since.

 

Ryan Sparks “There will be changes to the football and backroom department”. I think that’s a hint they’re off.

 

Think it's you that should be getting your jacket with that comment.

 

No no no. His football is worse than Bowyers. Terrible manager.

 

Epic fail. Appointing Cowley worked well then.

 

No doubt about it Rice is the player I would take over Phillips a different in class and Rice is 3 years Phillips junior.

 

He's not a well man as I'm told, hence stepping down and the Cowleys in on s short term deal.
