    Parky was poor in the early days, even had a spell with 1 win in 20 odd games i beleive, ended with a scrappy win over Port vale . The chairmen stood by him, the rest is history. I am not saying the same will happen again, just that he deserves more than half a season to mould his team.

    He’d already been promoted then tbf, but his first 40 games or so in 11/12 we were shambolic and that’s how he earned the name Plonkinson and some like Rick on here never took to him regardless of his achievements. Although it’s unlikely to happen twice it does make me laugh how much of a free pass players get, people used to rate the likes of Flynn and Syers and wanted to keep them over Parky. Thankfully it wasn’t up to them.

    The players have a lot to answer for in my opinion. Under performed from day one and appear to lack any real conviction to the cause. One or two exceptions, but most could not kick their way out of a wet paper bag.

    Highly doubt that tbh, I’d they got us promoted it’d have been hard to get rid and even if we did theyd have had far better offers than they’ve had since what’s Sellars up to these days? We have a lot to be grateful to them for keeping us up but the players deserve criticism for downing tools. It’s just the same things we hear and see with every manager we’ve had in the last 4 years, can’t believe any city fan would stick up for this shower but suppose that’s modern football easier to sack manager after manager than get rid of crap players.

    I gave up my ST 3 seasons ago. The kids were bored, the football and results awful and the club were directionless. Nothing has changed yet. I want the club ownership to change and the team to be a 100% hard working team. Until such time we'll stick to the ice hockey. Cheaper, more competitive and most of all honest. Brilliant.

    Lead us to the promised land of League 1 and beyond.

    Stop telling us what needs doing and just go and DO IT.

    Stop backtracking behind your midgets.

    Tell us where the first RUPP OUT meeting is planned for and see how many turn up to support you.

    99% of my experience is the beer before (and sometimes after) and the people we have sat with since the new Kop opened. I don't really want to pay for something I might not use but if not paying meant I lose the seat I've sat in for 23 years then I will do it.

    RUPP OUT !!

    I would have thought Evans will be our top earner. Nothing to support that at all but Gillead was at another League 2 side so wouldn't have thought he’d be on that much.

    Cooke dropped down from L1 didn’t he and Mansfield have money so can see Cook also being on a decent wage too.

    Cooke came to us on loan from Peterborough and signed on a permenant in the summer after being released. If I remember rightly, he had offers from elsewhere on more money but really wanted to come back and play for City. Wonder if he ever regrets that decision.

    Just read an article that the average for the top earners in league two is £114000 a year, we have 7 players earning more than that, a few considerably higher. As a caveat that table maybe inaccurate but if it is not then these players are hugely under performing on probably the best pay packets in the league.

    Also to add on to this, Adams isn’t the biggest problem in all this. You change the manager and it’s just going to be a full circle, the club needs new blood desperately. Bye bye Rupp bye bye Sparks and all his part time rugby league entourage. Just rudderless stupidity left right and centre with no care or thought.

    If Gilliead is on £3.5k a week, we've had a shocker.

    Sparks will be ringing his mate MacAnthony at Peterborough, at the eleventh hour, to see if he has any cast offs he can spare.
