Adams Out (with poll)

We've been L2 or equivalent for the majority of our time in FL. That's a lot of failed owners over the years

 

Docherty springs to mind.

 

I’ve said this before - why have so many managers been shit/failed? Something fundamentally wrong at this club. All been in Rupp era.

 

Think how the players feel then?

 

It's depressing isn't it

The only effective way for the fans to effect change is to hurt the club we support by not paying a penny more, until he sells to someone with a positive vision for the future.

 

We've only had one manager since Jewell was forced out who has had any semblance of success. That's almost 22 years ago now and encompasses different owners, CEO's and budgets. This isn't just a failure of current ownership.

 

@Dennis is right that the only way to make Stefan sit up and notice is to hit him in the pocket, a banner, a fly over and so on are irrelevant if you’re 1,000 miles away. I don’t think you’ll see a better summary of Rupp’s position that what Dennis laid out. A fall in ST sales is to be expected after a year of broken promises and dreadful football but it won’t be as big a fall as it could be.

This thread though is a good example of City’s fan base, it’s Rupp’s fault, Ryan’s, Adams’, Rupp is blameless, it’s all Derek’s fault, we’ve always been fourth division so why should be expect more, we could be Bury and so on. I don’t think you would get any serious backing for a not one penny more campaign, too many people are scared of it. They’re happy with fourth division football, and they’re right, it is better than being Bury, but it’s not a binary choice, it’s not a case of Stefan or being Bury.

We’re stuck with Rupp because there is zero chance of a united campaign to get him out. But if he stays there’s a chance of relegation and that might kill the club.

 

Get behind the proud custodian of this club FFS.

It's still more money being thrown away.

 

On the rare occasions Rupp speaks he comes out with crap like that, Sparks is as bad and so is Adams. It’s so unbelievable it’s laughable.

 

Yeah imagine driving home listening to your manager throwing you under the bus why can he simply not come out and see WE made errors instead of outing individual players .......... did he pick on Cook for missing chances ????? If he did then I doubt Cook would be having that ........... sadly he goes for easy targets not players who will give him it back ......... probably the reason Ellison at Morecambe couldn’t do with him

 

Unfortunately the time has now come for Sparks/Rupp to take the bull by the horns, bite the bullet and terminate Adams' contract with immediate effect - it just isn't working is it?
It'll be no doubt very expensive, but it surely must be done - and now. It does appear that the dressing room has gone, the players and fans have no confidence in him at all, that is now quite evident.
Action must be taken to move this club out of this god-damn awful division - this will not happen as we thought, under Derek Adams unfortunately.
Target and employ a new manager now, who has more forward thinking ideas, let him assess the squad until the end of the season so that he can start all over again (again)

 

The club will just appoint Truman has temporary manager until end of season if Adams is sacked.

 

Some big hitters amongst that lot @Storck putting their reputations on the line, be interesting to see who is now calling for his head.

 

And repeat, and repeat, and repeat.

Rupp out - how? How do fans force an absent owner to sell an asset at a loss if he doesn't want to. Not possible.

Who recruits managers? Sparks.

Who employs Sparks? Rupp.

Who recruits new manager if Adams goes - Sparks, unless he goes and that's unlikely it seems unless Rupp goes, which we can't force.

How does Sparks spot this up and coming new manager who is certain to work here? Doesn't seem to be his modus operandi does it.

Or persist with someone who we at least know can get teams promoted regardless of his apparent lack of ability to endear himself to anyone?

Be careful what you wish for guys, especially when it is totally lacking in any logic.

 

I think most know why Steve Bruce was never going to be accepted by the Newcastle fans, I suggest for similar reasons Benitez was never going to be acceptable to the majority of Everton fans, were a queer lot us football fans.

 

You c

You can have all the scouts in the world but if you're offering peanuts then don't be surprised when intended targets go elsewhere.

 

Logic tells us that constant changing of managers will get us nowhere but at what point do we have to wait to see improvement? Because as we currently stand as a team we are no better or further forward than we were under Bowyer or others. Forget the points accrued in the games before yesterday, the football is devoid of any idea and once again, with a day to go, it looks like another botched January with little attention to how we are going to integrate new players into largely non existent system. To be honest we should have seen some sort of improvement by now, the fact we haven't needs to addressed by the powers running the club.
