    I don’t think we should be risking the future of this club by spending money on players.

    We’re clearly more organised than normal. 1st January and we’re already rolling out the excuses. That’s efficient, I don’t care what anyone says.

    Age 26. A mere one goal in eleven appearances this season. Played most of his career in the National League. Not sure many on here would be saying he would be an obvious choice. Contract dispute with Accrington, who I guess will be happy to see him go.

    Ring Bolton and tell them your concerns, I'm sure they'll listen.

    I always get the impression that City start preparing for the January window on the 1st January whilst other clubs are fully prepared. It’s the same every window, talk it up and then when reality hits we shit ourselves and sign DMH and Theo Robinson

    You are missing the point being made which is they signed someone (regardless of their ability) on 1st January and that makes them look professional and well run.

    Signed Gordon Ramsey style:
    Identified
    Acquired
    Done

    Whose fault is that ? Happens every year so it has to be 'the management' and I don't mean football management.

    After months of sticking up for them, then weeks tolerating them, I'm now heartily sick of both the ABBA lookalike and twitter boy.

    Rupp & Sparks out for me.

    Derek Adams and his recruitment team have had plenty of time to collate and now move to secure the signatures of transfer targets over the coming days.
    If they fail to lure fresh faces and ship old ones out they want sacking in my opinion.

    I’d give my left nut to resign DMH.

    They paid money though so it doesn't prove Adams wrong they didn't have to wait because they gave backing and financial investment we just have to wait and see if there's anyone that's no longer wanted at their club and see if we're the best team that comes in for them

    Gonna be a long window because even Adams doesn't like transfer fees lol

    When you have senior management at the club with no football experience you’re going to get things wrong. Sparks has got a lot right but the appointment and departure of Turnbull, new contracts for McCall and Trueman and Sellars and the shambles on the football side are enormous black marks against him. Then there’s the communication, no promotion is failure, selling Crankshaw to fund a free agent, the excuses being trotted out already for the January window after many weeks of talking it up. In my opinion there is a growing credibility gap surrounding whatever the club says, it seems to have an inability to follow through on its words.

    Rhodes was no better, he may have been in the industry 20 years but he seemed to have one years experience 20 times over. Ignoring the Parky era it’s been the same story of failure.

    Roger Owen goes on about hysteria but there’s a real risk this club will slide out of the league under Rupp and Sparks’ leadership. For me the next two transfer windows will be important in stopping that.

    The club seem to think we're immune to going down but any club that can't score goals and doesn't address that issue will have some problems

    Instead we get told to hope and believe lol why can't the club just do something impressive a good window or a key signing in a crucial area you can't just assume everything is okay when the issues on and off the field are so glaring
