    I’ve noticed we’re playing on the 1st of April. Wouldn’t be suprised if the genius social media/marketing team, announce that Sparks, Rupp and GA have all left the club, and McDonald will be dropping out of the squad to manage the team. Then, retracting the statement after midday saying it’s an April Fools joke.

    This is how connected the club is with its fans.

    I suggest everyone going to Grimsby, wear clown hats and Sparks face masks.

    If Sparks isn't to be sacked but to be redeployed to a role within the club more suited to his ability, may I suggest we bring back the female Chicken so he could dress up with Liam Chew to entertain the kids before the game. I'm confident he could pull that off.

    Apologies Sunnybank if I made it look serious. It was meant to be ironic. But there is no doubt in my mind that Sparks has to go - and the sooner the better.

    Is he still hear then, looking at the weather for this week, it would not surprise me to see friday's game being postponed.
    That would make any protest on that day pointless, i bet that Sparks has had the sprinklers turned on all night.

    It can be as quick and easy as the owner wants subject to a fair and reasonable compensation package and agreement. If not then Sparks takes takes it to a tribunal.

    He didn’t exactly fail did he? He managed to avert administration whilst facilitating a change of ownership as per his remit

    Wasn't he brought in specifically to stop administration and set up the sale. Which both happened and then he left?

    Correct only a short term appointment and wouldn’t want to return. Good friends with Ryan and has supported him with advice in the past as far as I know

    I have to say Roger that the disconnect with the fans has never been as bad as this, even in the depths of the Bob Martin years. How do you see this unfolding? Something needs to happen as the club is sinking to oblivion.

    I’m in Spain at the moment so a bit disconnected. Further since being called out for some of my posts, including one poster wanting me out of the Club, when I’m not in any position of running things or decision making, I’ve decided not to offer any opinions.

    Perfectly in line with those running the club, then.

    You should be pleased with my comment seeing as you were the one calling for me to go. By the way you are ok to post my pm to you bearing in mind the accusation that Associate Directors do nothing

    I'm not pleased, I told you I didn't want you to stop posting.

    You can post it if you like, it's a fair post.
