    He left to go to Peterborough as that is where he is from.
    He's definitely evil because he wanted to spend some time with his wife and kids and save on the 3 hour round trip.

    I'd be worried if Fowler got the job. He can't string two coherent sentences together.

    Even if I was to believe that that was the achievement you make it out to be, do you realise Evans plays a style of football that isn't generally tolerated by City fans, regardless of any past success? Or have you forgotten Derek Adams already?

    I'm sure they'll get over it when we're promoted.

    Don't take the achievement from me. Look it up.
    Gillingham have finished higher once in 15 years.
    They're the facts.

    A hell of a lot of fans were critical of Parky style of play, He took absolute pelters for it from a large section.
    But boy were they halcyon days looking back

    I remember similar comments from posters when Adams was appointed and I said he'd be a disaster.

    Times change, adapt or die which this club seems to want to find out the hard way. It’s time to stop looking at what had success years ago and look at what can have success going forward. Evans isn’t a long term solution at all, maybe he’ll improve us to the end of the season but beyond that it’ll be another ‘proven’ manager at this level which nobody else wants…

    I’d rather look at how clubs are having success in the here and now like Forest Green tan what happened nearly 10 years ago.

    Ryan Sparks and Rupp need to go. Our club has no vision, identity or focus. Ryan has now sacked three managers in 14 months. Which other CEO would survive such blunders. But more importantly, the shocking state of our club: no vision, connect with fans, signing players who are simply not good enough.

    The shocking recruitment of the past 5 years: signing ‘has been” players is beyond the pale. Signing 4 strikers all over 30 (you couldn’t even make this up!). There are clubs in league 1/2 who have a cleat identity to only sign young players, but with 3-4 experienced professionals to help their development.

    We at City are the opposite. We have more players over the age of 30 than most (if not all) other league 2 clubs.

    time for a reset, fresh strategy and vision.

    Well that isn’t true. He was offered the MK dons job and the Swindon jobs but turned them down.

    I think at this stage betting odds are irrelevant

    Didn't really watch today just caught bits as it was on in the background, but I have to say after seeing lineup and reading here I'm totally bemused by MTs team today, it was like DA had gone nowhere!! Why the fk didn't he grab the opportunity by scruff of neck and go totally different??? 2 up front maybe for starters??..I don't know but I'm not the manager but what I do know??... is what I do know is not to go with what has constantly failed previous and cost a bloke his job. I was in the camp of let MT tick along until right guy is found but now its find that guy asap, what a fkn mess.

    Those having a go at Parky were clueless. There were fans who genuinely thought was a bad manager here lol. The bloke was a genius.

    Aye, should have been banned for life or at the very least beheaded by guillotine. No one that's ever made a mistake should be let near this football club.

    Now, if I just just get the local Catholic priest to come and do it. Oh wait.

    I think you've misunderstood.

    We need him to pay center half for the next 3 games!

    McCann is the best choice. The fans can get behind him, unlike with Evans. His football won’t bore you death, unlike with Adams. And he might actually be able to provide some success if given the right tools, so unlike McCall, Collins, Hopkins, Bowyer, McCall again, Trueman & Sellars

    feck me we’re a mess

    Not my point I actually believe that once someone has done the time so to speak they should be free to move on.

    My point really is that Evans is being held up as this immoral person who's not allowed to step foot near valley parade yet Woodgate, who arguably did something far more reprehensible is being touted as some kind of poster boy and it's hypocritical.

    My view is that Sparks should do exactly what Morais said yesterday, go through a thorough unbiased process and get some help from someone who has actually been involved in the game from a playing and managerial point of view. He could do worse than approaching people like Morais or Gary Jones for help. Both seem to get what the club is about and I would suggest both have been about enough to be able to gather the kind of info about candidates Sparks needs.
