    Let's face he could have gone cap in hand to any other business going and he ain't getting the job he got at City. Call it a bantams thing.

    Liars need good memories and he’s already forgot what he said in February.

    I renewed ours today. I WhatsApped my son to tell him I'd renewed and he replied, but I didn't do anything wrong Mum!

    Done well since he was in the same class as my daughter at Crossflatts First School.

    Scout?
    I definitely see a future with Gent supplying Sharpe the details of players for consideration, Sharpe then actually trying to sign the player if Sharpe and Alexander both agree?

    Graham can then focus on saying yes/no and coaching the players, while Sharpe oversees the running of the football side of things including the academy and links between youth team football and first team football.

    The family business appeared to have needed him, so he decided to concentrate on that for a few months. I believe he said he was ready to commit time for football again since February this year

    Yeah he said that the structure of contracts for new players will be looked at-alluding to some that are in place and are just shocking I guess?

    Haven't had chance to listen to it yet. I posted based on the quote in the club announcement. It was a bit of jest based on your thoughts about plans and visions. Seems I was right though because it's clear from your response that you are seething about it ;)

    I don’t think anyone expects a quick fix. But we need to see specifics in terms of what the plan involves, for people to have any level of trust or confidence in it.

    Seems a massive step in the right direction to me. Not sure his report back to Rupp will show Sparks in the best light. The best way to describe the signings and the contracts dished out is ‘carnage’.

    You wont is my educated guess and if you do it will be non specific corporate speak.

    Only the shareholder will see the detail though as every major employee will have to produce a business plan for their departmental responsibilities.

    If not then it’s a fag packet business.

    I’m less inclined to think GA may have a role in the end JB. Head of recruitment to Scout is a big drop for Gent?

    Think about the role , the owner pays his wife a big salary and calls her CEO. Pays the family an income and she claims expenses ?. Nothing more than MP’s do. Can you imagine Rupp making his wife CeO. Meltdown , volcanic style?;)
