    Without any shadow of doubt, he's assembled the worst squad since Archie Christie got his hands on Lawn's chequebook.

    Thanks Mark, enjoy your retirement.

    Let's not forget Gent's woeful contribution. He should be sacked this weekend

    Can't disagree with that. And if I were Rupp I'd sack Sparks before he gets chance to make another managerial mistake.

    Gent should be sacked for signing all these players that begin with O. None of them are proper footballers and I can’t see how he can watch them and recommend them.

    Cant get over how tragic the recruitment has been. Imagine if they had a Wrexham style budget? Wouldn't trust the recruitment setup with good money tbf.

    This squad doesn't even make me annoyed when we lose anymore. It's verging on just not caring.

    Maybe he only had a very thin cheque book?

    Of course he wants sacking.

    He looked at players like Oduor and Tulloch who weren't good enough for the two relegated sides and thought "Aye, get 'em in." Bringing in Oeyegoke who was almost despised by MK Dons during their relegation.

    He's managed to accumulate over 30 players. It can't be that thin.

    Look at what we are seeing. Players who are either not ready or just poor quality. Of course they will accept a thin cheque spread over 3 years. They won’t be here in any event.

    We should have 22 players of better quality. I think Sparks eluded to that in the summer.

    And why don’t we? We couldn’t afford a decent striker or a midfielder or even competent CD. Now either Gent is just crap, but in my view if that was the case he would be down the road with his P45 in his pocket or he wasn’t given enough money. Sparks is good at noticing the obvious!

    Marks legacy is joining Parky and Stuart as a play off manager.

    Parky of Stuart would never have given contracts to half our squad

    Or Hughes had first and last say. Hughes said what he wanted, Gent produced a list of available. Hughes picked who he wanted

    Disagree.

    Both squads had some right gubbins.
