    Certain this is the case Botswana, scout I know said a lot of conversations have been taking place - its obviously not ideal and we'd all prefer to have our new manager in place, but it is not stopping progress from happening

    If we are having conversations then we must be telling these potential signings who the new manager is. Who in their right mind would sign for a club without knowing who they are working for ?

    If only football was that simple, there have been as small a clubs as Morecombe gone up and stayed up in fact the likes of Burton and Wycombe Wanderers have been Championship clubs.

    I hope it isn’t Flynn. That would certainly be a let down for me.

    Niall Canavan signed by Adams at Plymouth. I think he signed knowing Adams is on his way to us.

    That's a bit of a stretch.

    We hadn't spoken to Adams when Canavan signed, and that's documented. We had permission but didn't make the approach.

    We stalled on approaching Adams because T&S were doing so well. In the event that T&S had taken us up and performed a miracle, there would be zero chance we'd then turn to Adams without causing a riot; so there's zero chance we would have promised Canavan that Adams would be the manager.

    You can't just assume all of that based on the fact Adams once signed him at Plymouth, crikey Moses. Even if it turned out to be true, it's a pretty ridiculous leap to make.

    We aren't skint, the 1903 stuff is all part of improving the experience throughout the club, not just the playing side. From what Sparks said in his last interview we can generate the cash we need and when the time is right he said he would look forward to asking for Stefan Rupp for the finances we would need at the next level. I get the impression that Stefan Rupp is interested and is in regular touch with Sparks, it's just that he's not a football expert like Edin was.
