    Because life isn't a case of being 100% correct all the time. You learn from your mistakes and act accordingly which to be fair they did well. The worst thing you can do in this instance is stick your head in the sand thinking it will all come good if your evidence tells you otherwise.

    Agreed. I'd be more than happy to see him gone, but only on the proviso that Sparks goes 1st!

    The thing we can clearly see is this:

    We can overhaul the squad as many times as we like, if the culture and leadership is not there, we're just wasting time.

    Ryan Sparks as CEO with no DoF is a waste of time. It isn't going to work.

    Who ever Gillingham play next could be on the receiving end of an arse kicking. their fans thought they were nailed on for promotion this season (so did I as well) after spending all that brass.............................just a minute don't they play us next Saturday.

    Spot on. This club will not move forward under Rupp's ownership.

    Yes it was panto time, especially as they knew the keeper was injured . Even the Grimsby commentators said “ He’s taking his time to get back from the warm up down the touchline!
    Orchestrated time wasting knowing Co Co the clown wouldn’t add the right time on….sure enough, he didn’t!

    Are you a descendent of Keats by any chance?

    Well, it seems obvious to me, that's for sure.

    I don't know Kev, there are still some on here who don't realise where the problems stem from. But I guess its all hunky dory now cos there's a statement and everything.

    Which part of the plan collapsed when they recruited GA?

    This “plan” b/s is a myth that people like to hang on to to prove a point . When asked for such a plan there is no plan other than not to lose money season on season and go bust.

    What is MKD’s “plan” you mention? . Clearly they recruited GA to the “ plan” as he was only there literally for a few weeks so their recruitment philosophy , working to this so called “ plan” was a dismal failure.

    I’d read about how much they financially lose on the football side every single season they have been in existence before telling us they have a vision Chris.

    Club losses so far ………. £200 MILLION.

    Plan you say?

    The proof will be in the pudding , otherwise it’s b/s , which I suspect it just maybe, saying the things people want to hear, is all we need to know. We shall see over the summer, until then and he puts his hand in his pocket or sells, I remain sceptical .

    Exactly! Play the first team in all the friendlies and try win them all. Thats how you gel before the season starts, not by playing a team full of kids at BPA.
