    It’s the club and it’s staff and fans that made Dion want to return when there was interest higher

    That’s one thing I hated. I always preferred the staff to use my Christian name. Boss and Sir sounds Victorian , but hey that’s just me. Other managers less senior than me preferred the doff cap attitude and they were told in no short order that it’s not mandatory in my ear shot!

    Irrespective of how the cash has been generated, Rupp has let the money be spent, so yes he's backed Hughes.

    Get your point, but it was never in a doff your cap way. More a nickname sort of thing.

    Some seemed to like it as a “badge of honour”. Difficult to explain.

    Agree with all this Olly. What we should also remember is that Hughes is still learning about the tactical nature of life in League 2 - nothing he's ever really faced before. He's signed, what, seventeen new players now and it'll take a while for that squad to gel. We're currently one off the play-offs, let's see how things look in the New Year when he's got a system rolling.

    Do you think you might be deluded? Of course he bloody does on every level.

    I feel there may be some confusion going on here between Mark 'Sparky' Hughes and our CEO, Ryan Sparks.

    Hughes likes playing the way he does and seems very loath to change. I think if we want the automatics this season he will have to be a bit more adaptable

    I reckon he will, he's not DA my way or the highway. He needs to succeed and I think he's going to be able to suss out what's needed at this level.

    Really!!!? He's adapted his tactics regularly through the end of last season and into this and continues to do it week to week, depending on who we're playing. He's been the epitome of adaptable.

    He has but you need to make you mind up, read my original post and reference to “cover” and your “nonsense” reply. Now you are saying he IS adaptable by using players in different positions. Jeeze.
