    Has Sparks commented at all today on last night's damning performance and post match comments - or is he too busy striking another dynamic local sponsorship deal with one of his mates :rolleyes:

    How does it work with the merch? Don’t Nike/avec run the shop anyway? We get paid a flat fee ala catering? Or do we get a % of sales too?

    Give my regards to Belfast and the lovely people there. Try and get there and Co.Kildare in the south to see family as much as possible. Was in Belfast a couple of months ago

    This team needs gutting.

    GK, RB, CB, CM, RW, ST

    to have even the slightest chance of promotion this season, City would need to sign a player in each of those positions. Lets be honest that ain’t gonna happen.

    O’Donnell - Provides the defence with no confidence. Gets beaten from range an to his near post too often. Never commands his 6 yard box, draws more pressure to the already shaky defence

    Threlkeld - Ain't good enough. Hasn’t had one good game in a city shirt an FCD isn’t ready just yet to be playing week in week out

    Paudie - Slow, Rash in the tackle, Poor decision making. If he ain’t improving his displays now, he never will. Has been at the same level for the past 2 seasons.

    Watt - Needs to go. Doesn’t fit the system, can’t pass to a man 10 yards away. Needs to leave for his own good

    Gilliead - Useless

    Kelleher - Ditto

    Robinson - Not good enough. A reason Port Vale wanted to get rid so badly

    Lavery - Always Injured. 1 good game in 5

    Angol - Probably one of the best players we have but it appears that he’l only play 15 games this season max.


    Jury is still out on Foulds, FCD & Eisa


    Ridehalgh, Cooke, Canavan, Songo’o, Sutton, Vernam, Cook - Those players are good enough for a promotion push. But they look like shit because they are surrounded by shit.

    Sparks an Adams may of thrown Turnbull under the bus for the shit show we witnessed in the Summer, but its their asses on the line now in January. Adams has his own Scouting system in place, An Sparks better have the funds ready to sign some players because if he doesn't, Things are gonna turn very toxic an I don’t see City selling season tickets in the 5 figures any time soon again if this season isn’t saved.

    Angol was gesturing to defenders with regards the long ball indicating to play it to his chest.

    This sentence contradicts the statement Adams made about not needing to sell any player unless a big offer comes in. Saying that, unless Sparks gambles or Rupp sends over some euros, I can’t see where the kind of investment needed in this team is going to come from. Maybe Adams didn’t allow Turnbull to spend the money earmarked for the number 10 position and saved it for January.

    And stupid decisions as well.
    His decision to try and take a quick free kick when we are 1 -0 up 5 minutes before half time was so poor.
    Basic game management.

    I think that statement from Adams is a clever one. Because lets face it, there is not going to be "big offers" for any of our players!

    Adams has used his father at previous clubs as Dof or advisor. Is he employed at the club?

    Well last night was certainly like something from the Addams family.

    lurch might have offered more goal threat

    We’re creepy and we’re kooky
    On xG we’re unlucky
    We hoof it up to Cooky
    The Addams family

    der der der der, da da, der der der der

    Been apparent for a while now Adams is not good enough
    For 60 minutes we gave heading practice to the Tranmere defence everyone could see that needed changing except for Adams who did nothing to change the system
    We are a club in crisis
    Chairman who has forgotten he owns us
    CEO who hasn't the experience to change things
    Manager totally out of his depth with a bigger (than Morecambe) club the silence from their fans when he left spoke volumes yes he has won 3 promotions but was also sacked from all 3 sides is he really the man to manage us in L1 never mind the Championship
    Losing on Saturday doesn't bear thinking about
    Good managers have been "shown the door for less"

    So who would you like to see for the next 6 months? Then you might as well have your 2nd and 3rd choices on standby for 6 and 12 months respectively.
