    I’m happy to bore , but not off. He needs to go, IF we are going to have a completely new footballing side to the club. Than includes Gent and Truman like it or not.

    I think the fear is that we get a couple of good results and then they give it to McDonald till the end of the season as the cheap option.

    From Sparks

    "On a personal level, I have very much enjoyed working alongside Mark and [assistant manager] Glyn [Hodges], and we go our separate ways on good terms."

    “As a massive Manure fan I would sit there for hours cross legged on the floor in Sparky’s office as Mark told me story after story about Brian McClair and Fergie while Glynn gave me some milk and cookies.”

    “Every week Sparky would come in and after a terrible result he’d give me some old manure memorabilia which now sits in the boot of my maaaaaaasive 3.5 litre gas gussling environment destroying machine - he he he f-Bradford and it’s clean air zone I’ve got loadsa money to pay the charge…. Oh I’m off back to the world of social media agency account handler soon to be laughed at there.”

    We can only hope Ryan!

    It’s not about money. Hughes will have been on a princely sum and that is budgeted for for the financial year ahead irrespective of performance on the grass.

    Smallwood as Capitan doesn’t lead by example
    Maybe he is a big part of our problems

    interesting McDonald is in charge,
    Team choices will be interesting or damming
    good luck to him

    Perhaps not the cheap option then, but the 'lazy' option. They do have form in that respect. We'd obviously reached the end of the road with regards to MHs tenure, but tbh my confidence in the club getting this right now is very low. Hope they prove otherwise!

    A song for poor old mark on Saturday

    Standing in the door
    Of the Players tunnel
    Crying in the rain

    It was a kind of so-so love
    And I'm gonna make sure
    It never happens again

    You and I, it had to be
    The standing joke of the year
    You were a mega star
    Way above us by far
    And not for me I fear

    We tried to make it work
    You in a home dug out
    And me in the Kop
    Well, it just wasn't me

    You're used to spending more
    And now your team's a bore
    So insecure you seem
    I put up with all the crap
    And this is one crap
    That's going to be played my way

    Say Hello, Wave Goodbyeeeeeee .............................

    That is good news, I didn’t realise you were in hospital. When will you be ambulant again? Or ready to go to VP?
    Nice birthday so far. Just finished opening cards and pressies. Although my lovely cats wanted to join in the fun into the gift bags and tissue lol Watching the cricket. Family coming over tonight.

    Have great day.
    As you know those steps to the top of the Ilse are quite high so I'm hoping for the Wrexham game.

    They are very high. Ppl should allow you to take your time. I have short legs so nearly always have to hold the rail. Phil says they about 18” rise, but he says it can’t be helped as you need it to get extra keg room in your seat. He is alright he is 6”1”. Although he has a dodgy knee. You will probably need you crutch.
