I was stood right behind GA today and during the match you can tell he's seething at the lack of ability and professionalism in the players he puts out.
I'm convinced he's knows that the players aren't good enough and next season he can try and get what he wants in.
Bringing on Wadsworth for his debut, not dragging Richards off when he's the worst player on the pitch.
Not trying to kill a players confidence whilst trying to give a youngster a chance reminds us he's an ex player.
And for all those clamouring for Pointon, a reminder again he's not that good and that's maybe why he doesn't start.
His after match interview alluded to the way he's starting to think now.
This season's over, full pre season and 12 players out of contract shown the door.

I've said all I can on Alexander previously. The man is a dinosaur and should be nowhere near this football club come kick off in August.
Another fantastic decision by Sparks.vladimir, Bantamtom, DimitriPayet and 4 others like this. -
I expect questions continuing to be asked until his role becomes clearer. The club, in reality Rupp and Sparks, need to get their heads around this and stop avoiding difficult questions. Until the fundamental questions are answered, sacking the manager at this stage is like moving the deckchairs around on the Titanic whilst the ship is sinking.bantamdave41, Bantamsteve, Ponty City and 4 others like this. -
We need a plan from the top which hopefully Sharpe will put in place, what style do we want to identify with as a club, what manager fits that style, what infrastructure do we need, what players do we need. Until we have that it's pointless sacking him, we'd just be doing what we've always done and get the wrong person in again for another wasted season

Looks good, but little purpose!
We jokingly call him Captain Hook. Great to look at while he postures, with a history, but sadly can’t fight his way out of a paper bag and a group of kids can now give him the run around!
Certainly would not renew his Contract. He definitely has failed to deliver.Bapta, Rhino66, MallorcaBantam and 4 others like this. -
Alexander isn’t the root cause of our problems. Rupp Sparkes and previously Rahic have undermined and regressed this club. Wrexham appointed a fella who knows what to do. And that was to run a mile from these clowns.
it just goes to show what can be done if you back successful manager rather than ‘know better’Foghornleghorn, Rhino66, Wolfysmith and 4 others like this. -
For me, it’s quite simple.
This is League Two football. It’s lacking quality and it’ll never be pretty.
Ultimately, as a fan, I care about results. Does GA currently have a 47% win ratio with someone else’s squad - yes!
You’ll go very close with a ratio like that.nicknameless, vladimir, Bronco and 4 others like this. -
22 scrappy wins and 10 draws with 14 defeats, gets you 76 points and the playoffs.
If he can get the squad he wants, with the division looking slightly weaker on paper for next season, we could even get the autos. Next season has to be the year. -

To be fair, the clubs that are going up, we could have predicted they'd do well. Well run ambitious owners looking for success, something we simply don't have.
Maybe now Rupp realised Sparks wasn't up to it and with Sharpe in the building the football side might be better run.Bronco, Rhino66, Foghornleghorn and 4 others like this. -

If the club are gonna get rid then do it now if not then we have to give him time rather than the usual 10 games and we are not top then he has to go.
The interview with Sharp indicates long term plans than short term fixes and me personally i hope GA is part of this,i think in the long run he will eventually get us out of here given time honestly we have another season of chopping and changing then i simply give up with it.
Look at Mansfield and how theu kept with Clough may have taken them a while but they got there unlike us who simply bumble along hoping that a short term fix will somehow make it alright.
That short term fix has failed for how many years now ????bantamdave41, Sunnybank, Wolfysmith and 4 others like this. -

The amount of times people have mentioned the Wycombe game as a reason to drop Cook but I'm sure I was there and I'm also sure we lost the game and probably wouldn't have scored if we'd have still been playing now.
Surely all the people that are struggling with the basics of football would at least point to a game we actually won without Cook?1975citygent, simons (woking bantam), bailiff bridge bantam and 3 others like this. -

Surely Sparks’ position is now untenable? Wouldn’t trust him to appoint a new tea lady let alone manager.
