    I agree, yes it will cost us and it may play a hand in giving him a bit more time.
    However, my guess, is the result at Newport delayed the inevitable.
    Get nothing at Tranmere and lose to Swindon then the club will be left with little option.
    In which the grumbling voices of dissent heard yesterday will nothing in comparison to next week.

    This is Ryan Spark's problem. I can't imagine Stefan Rupp entertaining the idea of funding any severance package for Mark Hughes and his backroom team out of his own pocket.

    Unless we actually in a relegation battle, which we aren't at the moment (but maybe by the end of October) I think we will blunder on hoping for a turnaround.

    Fully agree, it so depressingly obvious

    If sparks and Rupp can’t hear the depressingly obvious boos at full time, then they can all get in the same car with Hughes and suck off into the funset together.

    This is the problem - there’s no one telling them it’s not working (other than the fans). MH tells RS all is going to click, RS tells SR that season ticket sales are rosey and we’re not losing money. A complete deluded circle.

    There is no need for a lump sum package as we can just pay his salary till the contract ends, Sooner the better for the club and a proper CEO would know this and end all our misery and do what is best for the club

    For me MH has to go I am one of the optimistic fans but watching yesterday was the final straw in the second half we had at least 8 defensive players on the pitch nobody wants the ball it is booting to watch just can’t be arsed going any more think he has lost the players too but sparks will bootle sacking him he will be here a while yet

    Beating Newport was the worst result we could have got. He’ll just keep harping back to that for another month and it delays the inevitable.

    Spot on. No one with any idea about football above him at the club so he uses his standing in the game to continually pull the wool over their eyes. A DoF wouldn’t be so foolish. Or a proper chairman who isn’t a sleeping investor.

    wake up Sparks. Hughes is a dead man walking.

    Somewhere on here discussed how we pay managers off. They don’t get it in a lump sum, but on a monthly basis as they would normally. However, if they get another job, payments cease. In Stuart’s case he might be getting a top up until his contract runs out, which must be nearly finished can’t remember his contract. Adams should be finished as I can’t see Morecambe paying him less, but maybe he told them to pay him less so the City have to top up his pay, he was spiteful when he lefto_O

    Hughes will be pushing the Pattison and Chapman and Oliver will soon be back to help line.
    Despite the fact that Oliver and Cook haven't played well together in the past.

    But, if we do that and assume it includes Hodges and Gent, we still then have to find additional money to pay for a new management team for the rest of the season. I don't believe we have the money available for that from this year's budget. Hence why I think we will blunder on.

    Yes, when I mentioned earlier about still paying Stuarts and Adam's wages I was talking around 12months back, so I'll be out of date now. Probably all settled.

    Do they actually want to allow us fall unto a relegation battle? Watching yesterday we look like a cert to be in a relegation battle. Bumbling along is not an option. Rupp has to agree, otherwise he will see his £10 million club (his valuation not mine) fall out of the league and be worth diddly.

    We'll see won't we. Could be rubbish, could be that the text my daughters chap got from the person in question, who is a close mate of his, at 6pm yesterday is correct.

    At the end of the day, all rumours start somewhere and have a 'source'

    MH interview 'they got people behind the ball and made it difficult for us'. No shit Sherlock!! Had enough of his stumbling interviews he is starting to look very embarrassing and uninterested. A few comments on here saying he still looks like someone who thinks he is too good to be here. Well guess what he has no idea how successful football is played in league 2. Taxi for MH !!

    Don't they only pay until the ex manager gets another job. If it more money they then call it quits, if its less they pay the difference?

    Mccall is likely to be on more at sheff u than he was here, Adams probably much less.

    Spot on, but I would see it the other way around. Morecambe will have got Adams on the cheap probably because they knew we had to pay him. Cant see Stuart being on less at Sheff United despite only being assistant

    Well that's a strange timeline if it is correct. Raynor still hadn't spoken to Hughes when WYS went off air at 6pm.

    I agree, if that became a real possibility I'm sure something would be found to mitigate that, I just don't think we are there yet - despite performances and the general football being pretty abject.

    I would like to be wrong. I would like an owner that has a passion for the club and has an ambition for it beyond protection of an unwise investment. We don't have that.
