    Just to say as well, proof that sacking managers is always a good idea conte lost yesterday to the lowest ranked side in the Europa Conference League.

    Great stuff.

    Sacking managers that don’t get results is the right way.

    Anyway that thinks Adams currently is performing needs their head testing. He should be on thin ice.

    Haven't posted in this thread yet myself I don't think, so just wanted to add that Sparks needs to go, he thinks rebranding whilst stuck in the doldrums of League 2 is a smart idea, it's just gonna hurt the brand overall.

    SPARKS OUT!

    A manager is judged on results. Sparks needs to pull the lever and then follow.

    We need answers as to who signed these players, why do we have so many injuries, Why did we let a young goalscoring player who was not given a chance here and was sold for peanuts and will be worth a lot of money eventually, Who decided to sell him and why, Have we a plan B if results continue? The style of play is so basic and dreadful to watch who decides this, Does the club expect supporters to pay for this poor football in the future,
    Can you address this Mr Sparks because patience with the support is wearing thin

    Trouble is, we have sacked so many managers, but are getting nowhere slow. Sack another and…….

    Our CEO aid now the problem.

    You only need to listen to Billy Clarke to understand how a football club needs to run in this level.

    In terms on managers. Managers get judged by results and 2 wins in what 17 games is it isn’t good enough. It’s a sackable.

    I agree it isn’t good enough…….but, but, but, sacking one Manager and attempting to get another one in, perhaps with very different tactics, BUT with the same group of players……well. It isn’t a recipe for success.
    Personally l would rather sack some of the players. They are the ones on the pitch.
    Football has got to a ridiculous state with the number of managers being sacked, yet the players, those who perform, seemingly ‘getting away with it’.
    As much as l didn’t like the man, l felt the previous owner, who apparently wanted to implement a system which saw the players paid on a results basis (lower basic salary, but larger win/success bonuses) perhaps had a reasonable point.

    Get rid of our Owner and CEO the majority of City fans are massively behind the club our owner is not . Become a fan owned club a good example is Hearts of Midlothian. I feel sure City could get the backing.

    What using the same system that has made Liverpool one of the best teams in the world and players that fight for the shirt?

    Look, like Billy Clarke said Adams is trying this bully style football but we don’t have the players like Morecambe did and the expectations are lower to play attractive football.

    It will be interesting to see what @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler thinks of our dreadful CEO and our poor manager at this moment.

    Everyone seemed quick to have a go at Edin but let’s be honest Rupp has been a disgraceful owner! Shambles.
