BOYCOTT STARTS TOMORROW

In theory Sparks should resign, he said he would if Rupp was taking money out of the club there is evidence that he is so if he’s good to his word then… but we’ve had enough false claim by him in the last 15 months or so.

I don’t get the sympathy for him when his words are often contradicted pretty quickly, that said I’m not Sparks out until Rupp goes as god knows who we’d get in as CEO next! I’d even be onboard with him staying longer term, if he shows more humility when talking and less sound bites and crowd rousing speeches. As long as a football man was brought in to run the football side of things, he’s not proving to be any better than Rahic at hiring managers atm, only thing he’s got on him is he hasn’t got us into dept.

 

So you're saying stumbling on two academy coaches out of sheer necessity after giving Stuart a contract extension in the middle of a losing streak and then sacking him two weeks later, two academy coaches who just happened to already be here and were subsequently mishandled by Sparks resulting in one of them leaving in an annoyed fashion, is Sparks' big achievement?

Sounds about right, Park.

Sounds about right.

 

I repeat people were looking up grounds in the national league and we finished comfortably so it definitely wasn’t failure

 

LOL if appointing caretaker managers is his biggest success there's no wonder we are in the sh1t.

 

Seeing that he'd only given Stuart a contract extension a few weeks prior to sacking him and Trueman and Sellers were practically the only two people left in the building with any football knowledge or experience. It was an act of desperation rather than some kind of masterstroke.

 

He then totally screwed them over as well.

Sheer brilliance.

 

For Gods sake Park, please raise your expectations and satisfaction levels a little - its embarrassing. I know you are a loyal fan but we need to spark this club into life,not just keep plodding along

 

We need to find a way of getting behind the team but not the owner or manager. The tactics have done for this team, as we've seen what they're capable of when let loose. Some clubs protest before and after the game, but support the team through the match.

Nobody wants to see the team losing and slipping closer to the bottom as that does no good whatsoever, so how do we achieve regime change? Will boycotting help the cause, possibly, the team probably, because those boycotting are most likely to be the ones who boo during the game and after the whistle. If results pick up because only the happy clappers remain, what incentive is there be for Rupp to leave? Chances are, some of the boycotters might return and the whole protest collapses. I believe the non renewal of ST's will have an affect but that will depend on numbers. As we all know, 8 weeks without a game gives everyone itchy feet to get back. That will be the biggest test of strength for those wanting change. There's no easy answer and I fear more pain before any gain.

 

What does success look like for you this season?

 

Is Dewhirst still on this site? I’d love to hear more about this story, because I can’t recall the details. It’d make a great Netflix film. Perhaps we can raise funds that way

 

Park is the football forum equivalent of a long abused spouse, who no longer believes they a right to expect better.

 

I think he is. Cannot recall his username, which I believe he spoke about this episode

 

I would never deem 15th in league 2 a failure

 

Quite right, in a couple of years that could become an aspiration..

 

Dexter Fletcher would be all over this “feel good film”. Disgruntled Yorkshireman travels across hell and high water to save the club he loves. I’m thinking Ade Edmondson can go back to his Bradford roots to play the lead role.

 

Already is for this season.

 

Rubbish!!
Got Sean Beans name all over it.

 

Blades Forever. I don’t think he’d do it
