So what's the answer...

The answer is a change of ownership and Executive leadership of the club. Does anyone doubt that anymore?

 

I would be getting footballing people surrounding me like Jewell as DOF and a solid COO next to me who’s got some experience in business and football. I’d be sacking Gent and looking at getting a comprehensive scouting team. As for Alexander let’s see how the form picks up when Young starts to bed in and Walker back but if it’s still dire mid point of March start looking at options. But as for the manager maybe start thinking outside the box looking at good u21 managers ? NL managers doing well? Exciting new managers with fresh ideas who have recently retired from the game? Oh and start at looking at a handful of players renewals for their contracts and stop handing out 3 year deals to OAPS!!

 

I think the best thing Sparks can do now is to do an interview with Parker or put a statement out and apologise to the fans and then announce he will resign from his position at the end of the season. I think it's the only way he leaves with any credit

 

No doubt you are right , but you are smart enough to know the next question in your heart of hearts!

Edited.
Yes GA and Gent are not the answer and should go and neither is 90% of the squad.

 

Dunno!

 

Off the field - Dave Baldwin and Jewell
On the field- Paul Heckingbottham and Stuart
Sparks should get on the phone to his boss tomorrow to ask if he can have his old job back.

 

4. Take a big amount of credit for the increase in commercial activity(even though you have Davide Longo and his team doing all the donkey work)

 

Either Rupp's so disinterested that he doesn't know what's going on, or more worryingly, he doesn't care.

It's not outside the realm of possibilities that City's decline could very well go critical and run away in the medium term [I'm supposing there's two poorer teams in the league this season, but even that's not a given if they have a big change in form and City don't].

But continue in this vein for the rest of this season, ticket sales will dwindle, so the budget will be smaller and before long City could very well be exiting the football league. In that case, Rupp's investment has evaporated to nothing, so if he wants to try and protect the money he's spent, then the first thing would be to find new people to run the club I'd have thought.

 

I’d be radical and try and get Heckingbottom in as manager with McCall as his assistant. Goes against my views about McCall as manager but as an assistant to Heckingbottom they were good together at Sheffield Utd. We need someone like Baldwin to run the show and relaunch the new season with some optimism. This season is dead write it off.

 

No real point discussing other points until this has been resolved. I'm not sure any manager could make a difference under this regime and even the most ardent die hard, heads in the sand supporters are finally seeing the light. The club needs a new owner simple as that.

 

What's the next question Kev?

 

The lad has given his all but is simply out of his depth. Doesn't help when he has no guidance from the man above him.

 

This in a nutshell.

Doing exactly as his completely disinterested owner asks of him.

 

Radio Leeds are supposed to be doing an interview with Sparks and GA after the transfer window closes. Whether it still goes ahead or not is anyone's guess.

 

Playing 4-4-2 with a captain who gives his underlings a bollocking every time they make the most innocuous of mistakes will have us charging up the divisions in no time. Simple as that.

 

Morning Ryan.

 

CEO gone
Owner gone
Recruitment team gone

If only the owner give a shite then these issues could easily be solved but while folk continue to fund his failure as an owner then nothing will change .

If he seriously wants his investment back then its about time he started doimg something about it, simply turning a blind eye to the piss poor set up here is simply not gonna work ...............ffs he let Rahic cause havoc has he not learned from that lesson.

Time folk did something that will make him wake up and if thats a season away from VP then so be it

 

I agree, BUT.... from this point, if he refuses to act and either bring in someone to run the club, or leave his position and allow for the same, any lingering sympathy will vanish. Because we're moving beyond a young lad giving a big role a go before his time, to one acting out of hubris, self interest and self preservation.
