    Assuming you are referring to Bobby P, then with all due respect your post is absolute nonsense

    Crazy how rumours come about : unamused:

    We could add "clap harder". That's usually your default when ever anyone criticises a player or the the club.

    But, if we do that and assume it includes Hodges and Gent, we still then have to find additional money to pay for a new management team for the rest of the season. I don't believe we have the money available for that from this year's budget. Hence why I think we will blunder on.

    Don't they only pay until the ex manager gets another job. If it more money they then call it quits, if its less they pay the difference?

    Mccall is likely to be on more at sheff u than he was here, Adams probably much less.

    Well that's a strange timeline if it is correct. Raynor still hadn't spoken to Hughes when WYS went off air at 6pm.

    So why would he then come out and speak to Jamie afterwards? It makes no sense.

    Smoke & mirrors ? Who knows. Bigger question is why didnt he come out before six, but Stubbs did ?

    Was he bollocking the players ? Not his style really. Was Mr silent (his assistant manager who is so anonymous I can't remember his name) bollocking them ?

    Was he in a meeting with Sparks? Did he resign only to be told by Sparks that it was his mess and he didn't get out of it that easily ?

    I have no idea, but I do know he is a dead man walking unless he has a St Paul on the road to Damascus moment.

    This may offer some perspective, ‘Exact figures for League Two manager salaries are very difficult to find. A leaked report from 2020 suggested the average was around £80,000 per year’. https://www.888sport.com/blog/league-two-salary. So if City paid say £100,000 for Uncle Fester, and Morecambe are only paying £60,000, then the simple difference is £40,000 a year, until next June.

    Not sure why he would leave a club that he built from nothing finishing 4th bottom of league two in season 2021/22 to 3rd from the top of league one, I as everyone else want success at Valley Parade but I honestly can't see why he would leave Stevenage to come here, that's not taking into consideration any compensation package for both him and Paul Raynor who goes everywhere with him and the split with regards many fans not wanting him.

    Stuart’s extended contract also had the same severance package as prior to it being extended, according to Sparks at the time.
    It didn’t cost us any more to extend it (granted it would have had it been a success)

    But isn’t that the problem not just for now but from the past Hughes at 20 months us seen as long lasting.
    Not just talking about Hughes here but Managers who have been successfull elsewhere just don’t get the time. Apart from Stuart nobody is given the time to build a team and allowed to make mistakes in order to get there. Hughes has been given a little longer than average and will probably be on his way . But sooner or later upper management are going to have to stand up to the baying crowd in order to get some stability.
