    Hmm.

    The manger and the coaching staff and the chief scout.. hanging by a thread already. Oh dear ladies and gents.

    But we don't have the budget, we never do. Adams own words.

    The veneer of Sparks PR spin wearing thin, You have to back up all the optimism and words with deeds or the fans will see through it, They will not forgive you twice if conning us with talk of success Ryan

    You can only go through so many managers, some with 3, 4 promotions on their CV, multiple CEO’s before you have to look higher up.

    As long as he wasn't trying to pretend anyone cares about this trophy then I'm okay with it just like losing a pre season friendly not interested!!

    Interesting that @Rcbantam@Rcbantam only surfaces after a couple of defeats. Like a shark that smells blood from 2 miles away, he suddenly appears only to disappear as quickly when the results go back in our favour. One poor half in a friendly and one poor performance in the league and the usual suspects start to question the manager and the owner. I think we’re all pretty much uninspired by the Robinson signing but spending within our means is better than paying over the odds for a Bogle. The CEO set the budget and its Adams who decided how it’s spent. If he’s blown it early doors it hardly fair to blame the owner.

    What a load of wobblies on this thread. Early days lads and lasses.

    On the Theo Robinson signing - this seems a faily balanced view on the League Two forum from a Port Vale fan -
    "Glad Theo has gone a colossal waste of a wage and should never have been signed in the first place.

    He was only signed because we put all our eggs in the Maynard basket before last season, missed out on Jamile Matt who we’d agreed a deal with because we stalled on it for Maynard and ended up with Theo!

    Was poor in his first spell, but mostly terrible and lazy last season _ _ _

    That said all isn’t lost, he does have a decent record at some clubs but just wasn’t right for us and didn’t suit us. Fans are angry he stole a wages with the kids but don’t blame him for that as you wouldn’t leave without a new job and not get paid."

    Noticed also that a Scunny fan said despite his nightmare at PV he rated him as a decent striker at this level.

    Anyway, I will reserve my opinion until he plays a few games and on Adams until Christmas or thereabouts.

    We've played seven games, lost two, both against teams from a higher division (two divisions in the case of Forest). Why are we getting our knickers in a twist?
    So are we saying that Sparks should be going to Rupp and saying "put your hand in your pocket and fund better signings". For all we know he may have been doing that. If he has and tells us that it didn't get him anywhere he will be out of a job. Adams will have known what the situation was when he took the job.him
    Fordy gives all this SHITE about Sparks talking in soundbites but anyone in business will tell you that is how CEO's talk when going about their business.

    Indeed, the only one that really matters. I'm amazed at the negativity on here having not looked since before last weekend. Ten points from five matches over the season will bring automatic promotion. The win at Mansfield was an outstanding result, the defeat at Brisbane Road a disappointing one. I'm very optimistic that with Derek Adams in charge you're going up in 2022.

    Spot on Bogle could have been another McLean, yet Robinson knows he is in the last chance saloon and who better to get something out of that kind of player than Adams ? Lets wait and see what transpires. He could be an inspired signing and one thing I am absolutely 100% sure of is Derek Adams would never sigh a player he doesnt want. He might be 3rd or 4th choice but he will have been on his list rather than a last minute panic buy.

    I've already said elsewhere that I'm not bothered about last night result.

    What I've seen is a couple flash in the pan performances.. the rest average.. imo.

    And most troubling is hints from Adams all isn't well.
