    There won’t be a vacancy for a while so it’s irrelevant

    Jones, Joynes what's a name amongst friends, you knew who I was refereeing to, I was hoping Nathan was at our game hence my reply to @Bantamsteve@Bantamsteve.

    I'd hope he's a better manager than Bananarama are singers.

    According to their websites this is what all the teams in L2 currently have, so not sure where the figures about number of clubs with DoF come from. From my count there are seven clubs with a dual format rather than the traditional manager, sometime called something else.

    Gillingham - DoF, Manager
    Notts County - Head Coach
    Swindon - Head of Football, Manager
    Wrexham - Manager
    Mansfield - Manager
    Crawley - First-Team Manager
    Crewe - First -Team Manager
    Accrington - Manager
    MK Dons - Sporting Director, Performance Director, Head Coach
    BArrow - First Team Manager
    AFC Wimbeldon - Head of Football Operations, Manager
    Newport - Manager
    Stockport - DoF, First Team Manager
    Walsall - Head Coach
    Grimsby - First Team Manager
    Morecambe - First-team Manager
    Bradford City - Manager
    Colchester - Sporting Director, First Team Head Coach
    Salford - Head Coach
    Harrogate - First Team Manager
    Forest Green Rovers - Director of Football, Manager
    Doncaster - Manager
    Tranmere - Manager
    Sutton - Manager

    Until Rupp goes, I fear nothing changes. Leadership spans from the top and cascades down. Direction, purpose, focus.

    I've said many times over the years that the problem starts at Rupp and we won't be promoted under his tenure

    We will if we sell Jake Young for £250k. It'll be interesting to see what happens when we recall him.

    He wanted his wages doubling from 4 to 8 grand a week. We refused, listed him and then brought in Weatherall on 18 which apparently left a bitter taste with some of the old guard that were there.

    That's straight from an ex players mouth who played in the 98 promotion side.

    Probably another of these ITK accounts that know nothing. If there was going to be a meeting between the 3 of then why would they do it at the training ground rather than the stadium. It's an easy rumour to make up that will never be proven wrong and if Hughes was to be sacked this week then it looks like they know what they are talking about.

    But Wetherall was a much better player? He was a PL regular.
    If you look back at the promotion season, you'll be surprised how many of the goals we conceded were Bruno's fault.

    Nathan Jason Jones is a Welsh professional football manager who most recently managed Southampton

    Nathan Joynes plays semi professional football (since dropping out of league football 10 plus years ago) and has never managed.

    We have all had a punt on who we want as next manager. However, I think Hughes will be here for some time yet. I think he will be convincing Rupp and Sparks that but for the key injuries to strikers and Patterson, he would argue we would be top 6 now. He would probably be right too.

    Not many clubs sack a manager on an unbeaten run of 5, no matter how turgid the displays have been.

    Personally, I think Hughes blew his best chance of promotion with us last season by being too cautious at home and too many dropped points at VP.

    The ultra cautious approach and tactics after we took the lead in the play offs against Carlisle did it for me with him.

    The underwhelming summer transfer window and performances so far this season definitely the final straw for me.

    I will continue to attend and back the team if they stick with him, and hopefully he can prove me wrong and start to entertain us and propel us up the table
