    An interesting post and I do get where it is coming from even if it is a somewhat deluded idea and wont happen in practical terms - if it helps have it from a trusted source that GB would willingly send back nearly all the loanees now if it was possible not to have a detrimental affect on the relationships with the parent clubs. We must get past this scenario some are painting that this is tarnishing GB and start to see it for what it is - a chance to determine who he WANTS at the club next season. Posted before that it might not be possible to move on everyone he would wish to but whatever happens there is no doubt GB will know he is 'fair game' for the critics once next season starts. I just hope he is given a chance by the more 'trigger happy' posters on here as there is a massive rebuild to be carried out.

    Forget all the crap that individually we have some decent players, as a unit and a team they are lacking in so many key areas - size, character, winning mentality, balance etc - and the whole culture needs a total change

    Great Post.

    We have some chronically impatient fans, but now is the time for those individuals to practice common sense.

    Lay off Bowyer until he's started the rebuild.

    Lets face it, they won't lay off any longer even if they obviously should.

    Fans shouldn’t bother going to the remaining games. An empty stadium, could there be any more of a direct way of sending a message to this lot? Look, i know teams get relegated and yes, we should all support our club, but this lot i honestly feel there is nothing there. Literally nothing, no connection. The club is going through the motions, I wouldn’t blame anyone for just saying enough is enough, an absolute travesty of a season, embarrassing in every way. Good to see Rupp about the place though, showing his face while he runs our club into league two with a whimper. You own a club where things are going so wrong and yet are nowhere to be seen, well at least as far as I can tell.

    My lad is mascot on bank holiday Monday.
    Poor lad will be getting bood onto the pitch from a half empty stadium.
    Not what I was expecting when I booked it at the start of the year.
    Might try postpone it till next season, wonder if they'd let me do that.

    I’ve sacked this season off for exactly those reasons. It’s done, we’re down, and this group don’t deserve any support. The season just needs to end.

    I hope Bowyer makes the most of the next month - not by preparing the team, but by focusing all of his efforts on the rebuild needed for next season.

    Why would going up via the play offs be a failure?

    Let's put the First Team Manager on gardening leave until pre season.


    that's straight out of the Edin Rahic school of ideas, that one.

    Live too far north to be arsed.

    I realise it won’t happen, and it’s easy for me to say in my position, but really the fans owe this lot nothing, and they owe everything. It’s a mess from top to bottom, how many fans can feel a real affinity with this team? Leave them and the owners in no uncertain terms how far below this season has fallen below what should be expected.

    Bowyer will learn far more in the dugout than the stands.

    We have 4 games left. The pressure is now off and I believe we will see weak minded players now performing. It happens when mentality is wrong and this is what Gary will know. Recruitment / Mentality has been our downfall.

    If Bowyer sat in the stands and we started producing he would be putting more pressure on himself as the manager for sure.

    We play an in-form Coventry next but these are the games City win. Followed by Gillingham at home, a very poor Scunthorpe away and another winnable game at home against Wimbledon.

    With the pressure off, I believe we will have something to cheer about (I know I know).

    These players can't handle the pressure and I believe results will show this was the case. I would not, however, blame Gary for trying out the fringe players he is undecided on no matter the result. Next season is now key.

    Im certainly going to Wombles game, in order to observe the minutes silence. Whether I then get into town for a drop, or stay to laugh at them remains to be decided.

    Depending upon how much of our shitstorm can be sorted this Summer - Expectations need to be in line with that.
    The whole of the Management will have their work cut out, and much as I'd like us to be challenging at the top - I'd rather see a plan in progress built on a solid platform, than false hope embedded in sand. No matter what our budget is ....... Let's spend it wisely this time.

    Where has it been said Todd won't be here, we have too much invested in Bowyer to piss him off by not letting him keep his own number two.
    You know how football works mate.

    Infact his continued involvement diminishes "His standing" with every game.

    I think he speaks for himself and Fordy.

    I wouldn't insult you by suggesting that what I have said is not clear to you. If you do need me to explain any of it by all means I will but I believe it's clear; common sense and helps Bowyer and ultimately the club. If you can give me anything that Bowyer can learn from continuing his hands on involvement over the last rights of this season. I'm all ears ?

    Sorry, but just cannot get my head around the suggestion of Bowyer relieving himself of first team duties until the summer, its a bizarre concept.
