    Neil Harris had them going well the second half of last season, now they have spent a bob or two they will be under pressure from their fans to deliver, as will Mark Hughes.

    You're right Broncs but they also spent big in the Jan. window as well. Said it on another thread weeks ago, their previous owner and still minority shareholder, said when we played them at VP they expect to 'walk' promotion this season.

    Yeah it's a strange one when you consider that we sell of a lot of season tickets even if there cheap then it will bring in more than the majority of clubs .............. throw in shirts sales and throw in catering sales then we must be battering every club at this level ............

    I love owner making comments like that, heaping more pressure on the players and manager, I'll be more than happy to finish right behind them or if push comes to shove I'll take 3rd place.

    Let's avoid another wasted season. Hughes needs to go, then the phone needs to be picked up to either Steve Evans or Richie Wellens.

    Why would they leave their respective clubs and come to this hell hole of pressure

    And it's not a hell hole of pressure. It's a huge opportunity for someone with the right stuff.

    But apparently Sparks has done a great job bringing extra commercial revenue in...??

    Maybe he should move over and be commercial manager then ? Because he clearly has no idea on the football front

    Sparks needs to only have responsibility for the commercial side, not going to criticise him for that but on a football front he’s totally clueless.

    Even if he sacked Hughes tonight and brought in a manager who won the league it would be by fluke not design.

    I am sorry to say unless you are Stuart McCall this is a poison chalice of a job nobody except him will be given any time. Every defeat is treated Armageddon. The expectations brought about by the artificial big following we have is a millstone round the clubs neck.

    Nonsense. This is a fundamentally mismanaged football club and has been for years. Our fans are amongst the most reasonable, supportive and passionate in the country.
