    How do you know we’re getting one? Or just a guess?

    Personally think it’s too early to judge a lot of them and Turnbull wasn’t Adams man so he’s gone. Fair enough if that’s the case but who knows given we are not even out of September yet that he’s signed a load of duffers. I’d say the squads in far better shape than last September. Now is the managers dour tacitcs holding us back currently or the personnel? I’m undecided on that.

    Not sure Rowe could be described as poor, he scored some vital goals for us as we climbed away from danger last season and I believe we got back what we paid for him.

    I've quoted 4/18 as positive and one as mostly positive.

    Do you believe we'll employ another head of recruitment, Adams comes across as a manager who very much likes to be the man who makes all the calls with regards the football side of things, has he worked under a head of recruitment at passed club do you know ?.

    Got to have some one in, call it chief scout, head of analysis, recruitment director, whatever, can’t do it all himself now can he?

    I think we will employ a head scout/soem scouts. I think I saw recently that Adams had a scout watching some other games for him and wonder if he will bring someone like that on board more permanent?

    October is when @Fordy117@Fordy117 gets out of the slammer and can start to play a more active part to rescue the club.

    I thought the “ parting” was mutually agreed Mike? Maybe I’m dreaming?

    Threlkeld isn’t the same player post returning from injury, although he got about a bit last night in midfield and seems to be getting fitter?

    Oh come on, yes he scored the odd vital goal, but let’s be honest he was crap. What else did he contribute?

    Five goals, including the moment of last season against Bolton. Wish we had him now instead of these alleged strikers that are currently on the books. You say he was crap, where does that leave Angol whose a sick note, where does it leave Lavery and Robinson in the scale of crapness.

    In no way was Rowe crap. He knew where the back of the net was, had a good first touch and didn't get bullied, I'd have him now but playing upfront with Cook not either or.
    The problem is I think he had a bit of an attitude problem and maybe wouldn't have been a player Adams would have gone for.

    We would be very foolish to let him try and do it all himself
    What happens if he gets fed up and leaves or he gets sacked as he has twice before
    We won't have a clue
    Never put all your eggs in one basket etc etc
    Mr Sparks needs to be dictating to him how the club should be run :unsure::unsure:
    And it isn't a "one man" show

    Quite possibly mate, could be correct, could be a polite way of saying it wasn’t working out so we terminated his contract. Probably only half a dozen know they real reasons and I assume an NDA will keep it that way.

    I thought he showed a couple of flashes of energy last night in midfield and I’d start him there before Evans and play FCD at right back.
