    No i don't. The rebuild needs to start with the owner, then the CEO. Top to bottom. Never happen though. We have a CEO that can't even see the problem.

    Behind Ash Taylor and Kelly in Kev's pecking order,
    Which might explain why he shouldn't get the managers job

    He was leaner last season. He admitted himself he'd become overweight and that it was unprofessional. So it's not like he doesn't have form. He doesn't look lean to me. Last season he was skipping past players for fun. This season when he jumps he gets about 3 inches off the ground.

    I know it’s become a bit of an ongoing joke about Cook’s weight. But if you look at him now, he’s clearly carrying a spare tyre round his middle that wasn’t there last season.

    How the hell are we spending almost £3m a year in this squad?

    This squad is as poor and unbalanced as anything we put together between 2009-2012 when we flirted with relegation from L2 last time.

    So what do you propose. Got to be brutal son, but who is going to buy the club from Rupp?

    I’ll give you the second half to propose a new owner?

    However you, like me have no clue, so how do YOU propose they are stopped from “getting away with it”.

    I’ll wait.

    Yeah it's that simple. Open your eyes. Just another sign of poor management... nobody to give him competition (on the pitch or in the bab shop queue)

    We'll all be in care homes before we get a manager.

    But no one mentioned it when he scored a hat trick a few weeks back. The lad is clearly carrying an injury but because of a useless recruitment policy we have no one else.

    A few of us mates had all gathered pre match with beers/snacks etc at another mates house to watch City game on his dodgy stick, but as soon as we conceded 4mins in we all agreed to fk it off and watch games that were on our accas, so we've just watched most of 1st half of Ipswich v Plymouth great game. 2nd half we all have Barnsley letting us down so we watching that, sad days for us City fans it's come to this.

    He was leaping like a salmon against Newport. He’s hardly getting off the ground now. I’m convinced he’s carrying an injury.

    Last season I commented on his loss of weight over the summer. I was watching one of those training videos and said he looked 2st lighter. I had a good look at him today coming out and you can clearly see his spare tire, plus his shorts look ver snug.

    He's definitely not 100% but I do agree with you in that his all round game isn't good enough at the moment. But then who else have we got?
