    Well, that's that taken care of.

    I do care that T&S stay, as they've technically succeeded in terms of their brief. Why let people who achieve leave the club? If they leave it's a real shame.

    Sparks got it wrong for the second time in a season by offering overly long contracts, and is getting a reputation now as a hatchet man - someone who changes his mind depending on which way the wind blows.

    Not a good look for the young CEO, but I suppose he might not care - maybe that's his M.O., offer coaches security one second then sack them the next. Some clubs operate like that. But I don't want to hear anything from him about long term planning, because there hasn't been any in terms of the managerial role.

    The only correct choice of manager now is surely Richie Wellens. He can pick up where T&S have left off, down to continuing their work in regards to formation and tactics. T&S may have inadvertently done a really solid job laying down the foundations for Wellens' tenure.

    Wouldn't that be something?

    Were not some other clubs interested in them - that could have influenced the offering of a longer contract

    We'll never know mate I was more than surprised when they got an extension, they had done well, but they were never going to sustain that sort of form so as many had said at the time we judge them when we get a couple of poor results and unfortunately when they did they couldn't turn it around, if others were in for them then I could see Ryan's predicament but I cant believe after 10/12 games another club were going to take them on.

    Whilst I’m slightly disappointed in how this has been played out, I don’t agree we are rudderless and a shambles. Sparks clearly has a vision of where he wants us to be and how we could get there and is prepared to make tough decisions. Only he will know if they are the right ones. BUT one thing we are lacking, as has been the case for many years, is stability. But is there any such thing as stability in football these days?

    No disrespect to Morecambe but what can be do in league one with a budget the size of that?
    Even if he goes up I still think he’d come.

    wanted him before. A bit of a bastard by all accounts but bloody hell this club needs it
